Feb 14th
So it's almost a week 'til my most dreaded day of the year. Not so much to do with the couples holding hands and PDAing everywhere, coworkers getting candies and flowers delivered to the office, the intense array of emotions I feel when I see other people receiving that kind of affection from someone they care about, etc, etc. No, it really all stems from my hatred for the color pink...
I watched this movie on the Indie channel yesterday called Dopamine. The story/plot was rather lacking in excitement, but the subject matter was intriguing. It touched on stuff like brain chemicals vs. romantic feeling, real animals vs. computer generated, logic vs. emotion, how long 2 people can turn each other on, how long can you try to rationalize something before the feeling just dies, how long can keep something bottled up before it just starts eating away, sex and love are 2 completely different things, and on and on the list it goes. The point was, whether or not love is a chemical reaction or a feeling beyond science, it's still there.
Fuck, me... Shit. Shit. Shit.
I'm really glad that I have a tradition for this 'holiday', or else I think that this year my head might 'splode.
