February 14th - Enter The Fray

Let's clear up a few things concerning Valentine's day:

1) This never happens ---->

Come on people - get with the program. First of all, when is the last time a girl gave some dude a Valentine's day card. And when was the last time you've smiled that much from receiving a "card." Card's suck. Not only that, but the inaccurate picture reveals something bigger at play here. A girl would never give you a material thing on Valentine's Day because women restitute your material gifts on "romantic" occasions with sexual favors.

"Honey, you got me a car (hug)!!! My gift to you is that I'm going to pretend to enjoy sex!"

I'm sure those diamond earrings I got you are gonna last as long as this ephemeral sexual moment. Awesome.

2) <----- This is also just as rare. Most women think they want to get a 144 roses at work but if this were to actually occur - they'd be very embarrassed and wish you had put this effort into something else. That's the key. Your significant other, sometimes with the help of her trifling single friends, will always think of some way your romantic efforts could have been better utilized.

The advertisements for Valentine's Day eerily remind me of another advertising campaign. That of Harrahs and Casino Queen.

Doesn't this seem familiar? --->
This picture is comical in several ways. I'm willing to ignore that there appears to be over 100 thousand dollars on the table at this moment and just accept that every number has been bet. Yet, somehow, everyone is celebrating. Unless pictured are stock holders of this particular casino, the celebration doesn't make sense. My reader(s) who frequent casinos know that the ratio of happy people to miserable people is conservatively 1 to 50. I'm content to pass that number over to Valentine's day.
One out of every fifty couples enjoy Valentine's Day with no fight or letdown. So if this year wasn't your year, don't worry, you have 49 more years to get it right.




Bitter? Of course not. Happy Valentine's Day everyone.
