So before anything it's safe to say I'm going to do what I always do. Question Things. After all, the unexamined life isn't worth living, correct? What's the point of this whole valentine's day?....No that question is too basic, too easily answered. In fact I'll do it right now; to promote spending and spread consumerist holidays would be the cynical, rebellious and typical answer. How much truth does that hold is what I'm curious of. However the practical answer would be a time of the year to appreciate the spouse/loved one in your life or to remind people who are alone that they shouldn't be. I fall into the former category, I have a girlfriend and of course she expects something of me. Did I deliver? Short answer, No.
I planned a double date with my friend, we had a grand plan of cooking ice skating a little more. We only got to the cooking and made the girls upset. We promised them each another seperate valentine's day. They then surprised us in my girlfriends apartment with rose petals, chocolate and strawberries, candles, music and the whole 9 yards. The girls won valentine's day this year. I'm sick of gender roles that men must spend all the money, make all the planning and appreciate woman completely in hopes of getting lucky. It's ridiculous, I choose o break the formula, which is the only way to succeed in life in every aspect..
In the air,
Sam E.
