To all those who actually like this holiday and/or have that special Valentine to share it with, I wish you many good times and a harmonious rest of the year, I really do. :)
I hate Valentine's Day. Not for anything surprising or hidden, I just hate Valentine's Day, for 2 sole reasons (I'll spare you a long rant, on which I could run on for days on both...): 1) This is the third straight year that I don't have a "valentine". So on a day designated for love, I'm certainly not feeling any. 2) The sheer commercialization of the holiday just blows my mind. Capitalism has turned this day into nothing more than a gimmick to buy buy buy so the bigwhigs can pocket the money of the sheep who get suckered into it.
I think I'm going to spend a lot of the day in my room, listening to angry music and breaking things. Just consider it my way of observing the holiday...

"And after
there was laughter
And her friends all through a ball
While I cried all night in the bathroom stall
Now the chocolates melted wet
I saw Ms. Candy Heart and Mr. Cigarette
While the band played vulgar symphonettes
That's when I tried to steal your heart again
To look just like a jezabelle
Flushed pink and red
And you were drunk as hell
While St. Valentine rang the holy bell
It looks like Cupid's Arrow fell..."
~Rustic Overtones
"Love ain't no friend of mine
Since she broke my heart and left me to die
Whoa, love ain't no friend of mine
For the happiness I will never find
Whoa, love ain't no friend of mine"
~Ill Kid
"Love is a wild animal
It breathes you it looks for you
It nests upon broken hearts
and goes hunting when there are kisses and candles
It sucks tightly on your lips
and digs tunnels through your ribs
It drops softly like snow
First it gets hot then cold in the end it hurts"
(translated version)
~Rammstein
"Never thought I'd see her go away
She learned I loved her today
Never thought I'd see her cry
And I learned how to love her today
Never thought I'd rather die
Then try to keep her by my side
Now she's gone, love burns inside me
Now she's gone, love burns inside me"
~Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
