My Valentines Entry
I would like to share with all of you wonderful people what I found to be the REAL meaning for Valentines Day.
I woke up yesterday expecting another crappy day. Seriously, when it comes to Valentines Day, I'm not a fan...
Dressed the usual, not black, but I didnt go all out either....
So my brother and I go out and catch the bus, and I sat next 2 my friend Jewbie as ususal ( a nickname, not his actual name...) and we started discussing the day. Ofcourse I threw my theories at him, all of which concluded that Valentines Day was nothing but a ploy created by the card companies to spike sales in the down season after Christmas. Jewbie sat and listened patiently, and then he goes "Everything is just some kind of plot to you isnt it? Nothing can just BE can it? How about you go into today with an open mind?" I pretty much said 2 myself "poor naive young boy...buying into a fad..."
But once I got 2 school I realized that Jewbie was right, but not in the way I had thought. I had really wanted flowers 4 Valentines Day, and so a few of my friends had conspired and made me paper roses. They're amazing, and real ones dont even compare. Plus, I got so many sweet cards like this
"Rene,
I'm thrilled you moved to Newfane!
I love talking to you during chorus.
And we're the only altos who sing!
(except for when Mary is there...then we shut our mouths and let the master do her work!)
But I'm so gald we're friends now!
Where would I be without you?
GOSH!
As much as you miss it in Lockport you can't go back,
because we would all be lost without you!
WE'LL TAKE OUT THEM PORTIES IF THEY TRY AND STEAL YOU!!
LOVE YA!!
Hol"
haha, thats my fave! lol, But I got others too, and those are just as equally amazing. But the best part was hanging out with my pal Pat. He took me where he thought I "would want to be on Valentines Day" like, he drove me 2 brians, and then to the graveyard 2 visit my grandpa who died on Valentines Day 10 years ago...and I only told him that once, but he remembered, and stood there with me while I prayed and stuff. It was very sweet. And come on, that's soo much more meaningful than candy and flowers....
I dont care what anyone says, this was no doubt the best Valentines Day I've ever had
and it didnt cost a thing
So, what I'm trying to say here is this
Sometimes Valentines Day isn't about romance...
Sometimes it's about paper roses, visting a graveyard, and those who mean the most to you
Rememeber that next "Black Tuesday" or, "I'm 2 sexy 4 a boyfriend Day"
