Yes, I know Valentine's Day sucks, it's a commercial holiday celebrated only by the victims of capitalism. But seriously, if someone gives you flowers on February 14th, are you really going to throw them away because it's against your principles? "Oh no, darling, put that away! river of diamondscorpus christi ring, you're just a victim of our consumer society," Seriously? Okay, okay, I can see that for single people, it's a pain in the ass to see all this love dripping down. But it's a good opportunity to have a nice meal, to say we love each other (I'm a Care Bear today). But I can see you saying yes, but we shouldn't need a special day of the year to say 'I love you', we should say it every day. You're being very disingenuous, it doesn't hurt anyone to have a bit of kitsch, and to top it all off, we're listening to Paolo Conté at full blast.

Have a nice day!
