Valentine's Day

Today I've read nothing but negativity about today's "hallmark holiday". Admitadly it "nothing but" is two online posts, funnily enough both saying almost the same thing, but still certainly a fair dose of cynisism about today.

I can't disagree more. While I can relate with the sentiment that you shouldn't need a special day to express your love, I think Valentine's Day is great. A common theme also it being about seperating haves from have nots. I've never felt that way about Valentine's Day, even when I was a have not. It's interesting looking back 15+ years ago, and how I always saw Valentine's Day with future optimism and excitment of being a has, than pessimism of being a has not.

Saint Valentine is alright by me. Always has been, probably always will be.

A nice Valentine treat this afternoon was hearing Scotty & Troy (from Yucca's Monday night Open Mic Night) on the way home. Get Drunk, Chorus and Stop! I've got a great Valentine, what can I say? It was also a really great afternoon / dusk to be out in the world, to boot.
