I think it’s so comical how so many get all in a tizzy about VD, as I am everafter referring to it. I was at the store the other night and guys were all over the place with giant stuffed animals, cards, and crappy bouquets of flowers. I literally had to laugh out loud at the spectacle of grown men carrying around teddy bears almost as big as them. The saddest part to me, is that they aren’t doing this because they necessarily want to show their women how much they love them. They are doing it because they know they’re supposed to and if they don’t do it, they will be in big trouble at home. I don’t like the idea of people doing things out of obligation or for fear of consequences. It takes away from the meaningfulness of the gesture. The card may be the biggest farce out there. “Here’s a card with sweet words that somebody else came up with, but I’m gonna sign my name to it and give it to you as a token of my affection.” Call me crazy, but in any other situation, isn’t that called plagarism?? Here’s a tip guys. If you must buy a card, buy her one of the blank ones and fill it with your OWN ideas, thoughts, and sentiments. I guarentee you she’ll appreciate it more than any pre-printed, mass produced, impersonal card you could ever buy her. All a woman really wants to know is that she is loved and desired. I don’t know how it began that candy and flowers conveyed this, but it seems really sad that instead of a little everyday, people have resorted to this one “romantic day of the year” to show their loved ones how they feel. If you do a little everyday, then everyday is Valentine’s Day and she’ll be so happy with you, you’ll have to scrape her off your junk 
…okay, so maybe I exxagerated on the last part, but for reals, show your women love because you want to and not because the calander and corporate America tell you it’s time to!
Oh, and Happy Valentine’s Day
