I know it is a faux paux to write back to back entries...but its the day after Valentine's Day, so back off.  What a lame holiday.  So lame, that I am willing to break it down for you.

1. If I don't get off work for it, then is it really a holiday?  If Ingles doesn't close for it, then I don't consider it real.

2. What does Valentine even mean?  I don't think it is a real word.  I bet if I looked it up in the dictionary I couldn't find it.  But even if I did, it still would be one of those words that just made it by accident.

3. Chocolate and flowers?  I don't need that.  Give me something useful, like rent money or wine.  Or one of those cadbury bunny eggs.

4. Stupid poems.  Roses are red, violets are blue.  Well actually, violets are...violet, you know, the color purple.  And even roses are black after they die, I mean really. 

5. Children are encouraged to give valentines to everyone in their class.  Oh this sounds like a great idea.  Little Johnny, you remember your friend James?  Why don't you give him this valentine that says 'Be Mine' and while you are at, give every girl in your class the 'You are super way cute' valentine.   Case in point as to why the gay population has risen as high as it has in year 2008, and why Hugh Heffner is active at his old age.

6. Hugs and kisses.  XOXO.  What does that even mean?  Seems like a come on to me, and I am just not interested.
