Tomorrow, or today, or 3 and a half years ago, depending upon when yu read this, is valentines day. We, as most know, are the doom generation, the angsty teens stereo typically angry at everything, hating all and every authority, yet we still demand one day were we can seem like normal people, "mature and grown up", showing a certain love and sense of respect for those we dub worthy in our cliques. I don't mind the holiday much, its just another day morphed into something that earns us all free stuff in some way or another. I just don't understand it. The concept of wanting to make yur longterm, shortterm, or highschoolweekterm love happy for a day is Ok, but why one designated day of the year? If yu really like or love them, wouldnt it be better to do it spontainiously more then a few times throughout a year? As humans (proudly bearing the title "gods mistake" for hundreds of years!)[yes it was meant to sound like a product ad] we tend to act malicious towards most other humans for stupid reasons, so what confuses me the most about the day, is the fact that we can all forget the hate we feel and the horror we feel towards those feeling hate and act like one happy continental family. How come this doesnt work in everyday life?
Crackhead mother: I heard yu fucking failed algebra
Rebellious daughter who hates home life: Fuck off, as if yu care?!
Famous celebrity (Shaquille O'neal) to ease tension: Hey guys, its valentines. Chill?
Crackhead mother: He's right sweetie.
Rebellious daughter who hates home life: I almost love you mom
Crackhead mother: Me to dear..
It works everywhere else, why not there? If everyone pretended that we weren't just malicious animals with brains and actually cared for more then a handful of the other one's, we might actually do ok. As I saw in some one else's blog, who has a good point, you can't say sorry to and pretend to like a person for a day if they didn't make it to the next one. So why not act like we're better then animals on more then one day? Hell, I know some people have moved passed that point and are of the asshole majority most of the time, but for the rest of us, is it really so hard to be ok to another person a few days a week? And comon, are we so cheap as to go all out on the person we love once a year? And I dont mean buying dinner and chocolattes. I mean, all out, romantic movie, nice place for dinner, maybe even fuzzy cuffs. Trust me, from my standpoint (the opinion of a broke teenage writer failing geomety?!?) it's not that hard. Speaking of which, what would you buy a cute witch? I have a few ideas, but suggestions are fun to read anyway.
