Valentines Day

Oh Valentines Day. Next to Christmas, the most commercial  day of the year. Every year millions of people buy something for their sweetheart just because the flyers at Walmart told them to. Why people give into this junk, I do not know. As a spectator of Valentines Day, (being without a sweetheart), I have noticed something. It seems that couples have to buy each other something, or else the day is ruined. That is just my opinion.



Since the Pope retired a couple of days ago, isn't ST. Valentine's day officially canceled anyway? Of course not. As long as there is money to be made, the business men will keep the holidays living on. I mean, they could probably invent a holiday in August, call it Love Day, and people would by Love Day-inspired streamers and stuffed animals. Truly outrageous. Of course this is just me rambling on and on.

And there is the Valentine cards. The mass produced, extremely corny cards you can get from the Dollar Tree if you really want. Honestly  I really don't like Valentine's Day. The only significant fact for me is that in exactly six months is my birthday. But this is just what I think now. Maybe in the next few years, if I get a girlfriend, it might be different  But for now, this bachelor says that Valentines Day is way to commercial for its own good.
