what is this crazy thing called love?
It's that time of the year again, ladies and gents, Valentine's Day, where we celebrate the vast unknown that is otherwise called love. Yes, we humans yearn for the mysterious irrational magic that causes us feel that we're not alone in this great big scary world. Many times we reach and fall painfully short, but that doesn't stop us from trying again and again. Love is powerful stuff, it's launched a thousand ships and hundreds of thousands of songs; here's but a few of them to help commemorate the holiday - Happy Valentine's Day, peeps! And don't forget to tell someone you care about them, 'k?
