Valentine's Day is for suckers and motherfuckers

The first thing I posted this morning on my twitter and facebook is a wish of Gung Hay Fat Choy which translated from Chinese it means "Best wishes and Congratulations. Have a prosperous and good year."

Then some boob on twitter that I don't even know message me "Hey, what about V-day, all the love and stuff?"

And now my rant on about Valentine's day... You have been warned.

The people that I love and I genuinely love them, I let them know everyday but on any other day than on Valentine's day. Because if you truly love them you should love them every damn day for the rest of your life till the day you draw your last breath and die. And you tell them every damn day that you love them. On Valentine's Day is the day I tell all the people I hate that I really fucking hate them because they are as fake and pathetic as Valentine's Day. Commerical, generic chocolate in heart shaped boxes just screams of minimal effort. And the sad red roses that is picked up at the supermarket says more about death than love (80% to 90% of the mass roses sold on Valentine's day are the same type of cheap, mass grown roses that are use in funerals). If you read about the history of Saint Valentine, there have been a few of them, they were all Christian martyrs that died for not for love but for religious purposes. And please, don't give me the bullshit about how the current Valentine's Day is a modern reinterpreted version of courtly love. For fuck sake, courtly love lore existed around the time of pandemic disease that wiped out millions of peoples. Of course you have to chase people to have sex with you cause your life expectancy back them 20 to 35 years of age if you are lucky enough.

So, to the sad, pathetic man or woman who walks out the supermarket with those half dozen or dozen roses that were on sale, try a little harder tomorrow to say I love you to your beloved. And then tell them every day after that how much you love them.

To all those corporations that make a stupid amount of money on this day, why don't you show your love by donating all of your profits from today's sales to the Red Cross or Partner in Health or Doctors without Borders so they can help those who need the showing of love in Haiti. Put your fucking money where your mouth is.

And to all the people I hate: The following says it all. Happy Valentine's Day.
