Just a little piece I wrote for another site, figured I'd post it here too

As you all know, today is Valentine?s Day?the cruelest of holidays. No other holiday separates the ?haves? and ?have-nots? like Valentine?s Day. Just think about it, an entire day solely devoted to celebrating your significant other. What if you don?t have anyone? No other holiday is like this. Halloween is about celebrating candy, if you don?t have any, you can just walk around ringing doorbells and you?ll get it for free. Those without explosives on the Fourth of July can head down to a local park where the local government has purchased plenty for everyone. But, unless you live near a friendly brothel in Nevada, there is no free love to go around on Valentine?s Day.

Think of it this way: what if there were a holiday called Private Jet Day? Isn?t that just a little unfair to the millions of people without private jets? Or how about Original Rembrandt Day, where all the art collectors can gather, mix some really odd drinks involving fermented coconut, and celebrate their original Rembrandts. Gee, everyone can enjoy that! Hell, I couldn?t even celebrate Fake Rembrandt Day! Or perhaps there?s this new holiday called Big House Day. Traditionally you go to the store and you can buy these little candy plaques to hang up all over your house to show how much you love it. They only come in packages of one hundred, though, so you?re left with a whole bunch of disgusting candy to eat if you don?t have a big enough house. And each one has a little phrase on it, just to further rub it in how big of a house it is. Things like: ?Live Here 4Ever!? ?Three Cheers for the Chandelier!? and, finally, the disturbingly popular ?Foyer Fever!?

Well, just to ease the burden on the millions of Americans like myself, I have rechristened February 14^th to a holiday everyone can celebrate. Say hello to Green Elvis Tattoo Day! C'mon guys, roll up your sleeves and show em off! Watch this, I can make mine dance. "Hey, Baby. Thank you, thank you very much!"

I dunno, maybe if the people who bemoan V-Day weren't so whiny and needy and angsty someone might actually want to date their sorry asses?

Just a thought...

(mind you, if I wasn't dating someone right now I'd probably be grouchy too... just like I have been every other v-day)

Yak, if you were an honest quiet friendly person, I don't think you'd necessarily want all the chicks you treat like your friends in the sack, either.

Not that women aren't the bane of my f**kin' existence here, but you really have to be fair; women tend to take sex a lot more seriously, so you can't disrespect them for not giving it up whenever you expect to get your mack on.

Oh no, I was just being bitter about being alone. Move along now.

My lady doesn't like Valentine's...at least the consumerism of it, which I have no problem with since I'm strapped for cash right now. Basically I made some sweet lovin' and saved money, fancy that. Now that's love.

i went into avalon city for the night with some friends here on the island. since they all went with a date, they 'hooked me up' with this girl Kelly. i swear to f*cking god... maybe if i talked about Cher 24/7 like her, we coulda had some chemistry. though, catalina island is a really romantic plaaaace... any couples here in southern california ought to pay a visit

I ended up going for a single white rose. A bit serious, but it seemed to go over quite well

honestly TB, im impressed....its amazing to me how all the ladies ive ever been with have found that the subtle gestures from the heart are the ones that make the biggest impact...of course, thats been 25+years ago, but my wife, well, shes exactly the same way....the problem is, the older i get, the MORE i forget, so im just gonna move into the doghouse permanently, and try to turn groveling into an art form (c)....

Doc Brass...

and i could never keep track of all the different symbolisms that go with each type, color, quantity, etc of the appropriate flower for the occasion, and the symbol, and the.....aww, f**k it..."move over dog"...
