That day that starts with a "V"

Yup, yup. Good ol' St. Valentine's Day. Though I haven't been into all the candy and such the past few years, I still sorta miss being a (little) kid.

I also totally missed out on finishing my movie trailer spoof radioplay entry for the VA Club's V-Day challenge. (lol run-on sentence)
Heh heh, I still do plan to finish it though, so I guess I'll just be late guy. =P

Wore a suit and tie (no fedora hat, sadly =( ) to school, as I was to read some excerpts from Martin Luther King Jr's "I have a Dream" speech, as part of the first of our Black History Month group of assemblies. I was a little nervous a first, as I hadn't a chance to practice much. Though afterwards, a heck of a lot of students and teachers said I sounded a lot like him, so I'm content. =)

Other than that, it was a quiet day for me for the most part, though I spent some time reflecting on my relationship with the people who mean the most to me in life; my family.
Sadly, the mother of a student at my school passed away on the night of the 13th. Though I've never met this student before, I've had him and the rest of his family in my thoughts and prayers as well lately.

As I see it, Valentine's Day doesn't need to be all mushy gushy BF/GF focused. It's a day where I'm more motivated to try and strengthen bonds with those whom I know and love, be they family or friend, or even someone with whom I've had differences in the past.
I feel these are goals we should all strive for on a daily basis, as you never can be sure when someone you know will leave this world.

Doing so isn't always an easy task, but I'd like nothing more than to be at peace with them when I see them last.
