Valentine's day is horrible corporate bullshit

Seriously, who buys into this shit? :uhoh2:


and yes, I have girlfriend who feels the same way.

 

I dont buy into anything, but it's a day that I dont mind acknowledging. Same with people's birthdays, I dont see any point in having and egotistical all-about-me day every year, but I also dont mind celebrating with friends and family. If you ask me, considering that our body is changing, growing, shedding, and mutating at every given current moment, every time we breathe in it's our birthday.
But yea, Valanetines day is pretty lame, but whatever, I am a lame boy.
Namaste

 

I think most of the people of world know that valentine's day is made by the corporations and post. Actually christmas was very diffrent in the first place too then it started to be a spending party.

But still it's good that you give your friends value at least at once in a year

 

i remember going to catholic school and watching a video about the history of the holiday. It was a pretty gruesome tale about St. Valentine (or maybe it was valentino. I'm too much of a burn out too remember.) being fed to lions. Nothing really to do with love or fornication. I think right before they fed him to the lions he made a paper heart and gave it to a roman guard though. That was in the video though. They had these stupid videos for every saint's feast day, that i'm sure were mostly fabricated tales.

 

valentine's day annoys me, always has. i haven't been single on valentine's day since i was 14, and i never got the big deal with it. what, a guy buys his girl something pretty and he gets a hummer? that just makes your girl a prostitute, really.

 

*shrugs* i see nothing wrong with a day dedciated to appreciating your SO (or your friends if youre single, typoically my friends and i get together on vday if any of us are single and eat too much and have girly drinks, fun stuff)
mostly its an excuse to take time for one another. of course, we cant do that this year, so were putting it off by a week or so lol.
but no sense in forcing it on people either. you arent required to like vday. i just happen to, and my partner does, so its all good

 

why do today what you can put off until valentine's day?

i really hate valentine's day.

 

I just love chocolate.

 

I have never celebrated this holiday and have slowly weened myself off of all holidays...I dont need the masses to tell me when I should buy gifts for people that I love..I would rather do it more unexpectadly.

 

dave will stop off and buy me flowers and/or chocolate any old time. i prefer that than the forced expectations. ugh.

 

I decided since the day is going to be inevitably filled with stupid cheesy people bringing their sig. others to Dairy Queen, as if that's some kind of present, I'm going to have my friends over for manicotti. One of them is practically our roommate (he's only gone when he's sleeping or working, lol), and the other's girlfriend has to work tonight. Of course, I'm not making the manicotti, Daniel is, buuuut, it's the thought that counts. And there will be no extra kisses or PDA's because it doesn't matter what day it is. Truth be told, I don't think it really has mattered since we got together. Hehe.

 

I always thought Valentines day was pretty useless...
People at my work are going ape shit over it though. I overheard a couple of my co-workers say "my man better of gotten me some roses or there will be hell to pay" Really, wow, what a winner you are, I'm sure he's out right now, but not buying roses, but a noose so he can be put out of his misery.

 

haha...oh, the obligation of it all..hilarious


I like Dairy Queen..chocolate on chocolate

 

i'd much prefer a bouquette of kind buds to a bouquette of roses( bear in mind i'm not a girl). there's no reason this "holiday" has to be corporate. just get your sweety some sweet tooth from your local dealer.

 

I bet if you did something romantic on this day, your girlfriend would still love it .

 

chocolates usually cheaper..

i expect nothing from this day.. always a disappointment

round of e-hugs anyone? :hug: :grouphug:

 

but can you put a price on love... lol. GD today is depressing.

 

my sister, the little bitch, texted me a "happy valentine's day. love and kisses." she knows i hate valentines day, the little twat.

(and yes, in y family, little bitch and twat are compliments)

 

Well, I've always been the first one right on the 'corporate bullshit' bandwagon, even when I had a long term girlfriend.

But, today has been a great day for me. I went to the uni, where this girl I like is studying at about 7.30 this morning with a small bouquet. It was totally unexpected, she was shocked and surprised. It was a little weight off my shoulders, the day giving me the excuse to make my intentions crystal clear.

We met up tonight att my place, shared a cake that she brought and a couple of beers, and have set another date for Saturday. all this would have probably happened eventually anyway, but today somehow helped me to get it out there in the open.

So, sorry, but today I really think that valentine's Day is great.

Love is in the air.

 

Im so happy thats great great story! And how weird your VDay is already over! I just woke up.
