Annual Defense Mechanism
[ 2 Comments ] Posted on 02.13.06 in Valentine's Day, complaints
Every year at this time, I write a detailed manifesto about how Valentine’s Day is of the Devil (see 2004 and 2005). And in thinking this week about what new insights I could add to the already viscous soup of lament that I serve up annually, I could come up with nothing except for the thought that roses are stupid.
You buy them. They sit there. They die. They sit there. You throw them out. You have an empty vase and an empty wallet. Your lover will probably leave you at some point within the next year. You have an empty vase, an empty wallet, and an empty heart. You are back at square one.
Happy Valentine’s Day, everybody!
Annual Self Pity

I decided that this Valentine’s day, instead of feeling sorry for my lone self, I would bring the rest of single society down with me.
I am of the opinion that the majority of those folks who regard Valentine’s day as a commercial institution that is wholly unnecessary are in the same boat as me: HMS Lonely And Bitter. So, if you’re one of my fellow passengers, I’m just here to give you a friendly reminder regarding the origin of your defensive sentiment regarding February 14.
Have a nice day, fellow lonesome losers.

Found new browser, ordered pizza, ate half of pizza, listened to tunes, watched West Wing on tape, listenened to more tunes, ate ice cream, went to bed at 11:30.
Tomorrow is a half day at school because of President’s day. President’s day?! It’s not really a holiday, its like two birthdays mixed into one that gives an excuse for lack of work. No matter, at least I don’t have to put any effort into my being tomorrow.
