No Body Told Me There'd Be Days Like These.....Strange Day Indeed....

observations on this life
So, I hate that John Lennon thought of it before I did, but it is so appropriate to this day. I'm not a fan of VD day... not because it holds bad memories of the times I didn't get whatever it is you are supposed to get on the 14th of February every year. I don't like the holiday because it is cheap "make up sex". Expressions of love should be given freely every day of the year...

It was fun to give valentine's when I was a kid, but even then it was a contest. It was about who had the grooviest crepe paper coverd shoe box, or who got the most, or the biggest. I still give them to my friends. It's cool that it is no longer a contest. It's cool that it's not the only time I do something silly and sweet for them, or with them. This year it's hello kitty...

I try very hard to fight tradition when it makes no sense, and today is one of the days I split from the heard and go off and graze on my own. A better token to give the people you love is your time, and your support and your energy. So, to all the people I love, and to everyone who reads this, I Love You.... just because.
