Every year on February 14th people, men mostly, are reminded that they must acknowledge their love for their loved one by spending cash. Buying candy and flowers, diamonds, etc. Wouldn’t an “I Love You” suffice? Ron and I discussed VD and thank goodness we both hate it. There is no reason why we need to prove our love for each other in that way. Especially so soon after Christmas and before our anniversary (March 18th). Honestly I would rather have a Nintendo Wii or shiny Ninja sword than something mushy. So we are opting out of celebrating VD next Thursday.
You know, VD also contributes greatly to obesity. The stores are stocking their shelves with mounds of chocolates and tons of candy. So a day of love really means a day of overeating. “I love you so much I bought you all of this candy, please eat and gain 90lbs.” Then she gains 90 lbs and he runs out and bangs a flight attendant on his way to a conference in Boise. Marriage ruined and it is both of their faults. You never see or hear about a loved one giving their honey a box of granola bars! And why in the hell do people get married on the busiest marriage day of the year? What a cliché! It is all about the romance I guess.
