Yeah, I kind of have to agree. As if couples who are in love need a specific, commercialized DAY as an excuse to show their love. 
Long and the short of it: Valentine's Day = one giant obligation, a reason to spend money you don't have, on shit that no one needs and will not appreciate in the morning.
Although I have to admit, when I was dating, Valentine's was a huge deal to me. Part of that was because I was younger I'm sure, but I swear to god something about being with a guy you really, really like makes a part of girls' brains stop functioning. Its drops our IQ by like twenty points (at least it did for me.) I'm sure it goes both ways, but I don't have firsthand experience on the other end, so I can't say for sure. I have had plenty of guy friends act like nimnods around and with girls they like, though, so I'm assuming its true.
Hormones suck, plain and simple. Valentine's Day is nothing more than a commercial exploit of the biggest human weakness in existence. Screw that.

Valentine's Day is the lamest, most worthless, most cliched day of the year. It is a holiday which promotes buying worthless crap and sending cards. I do refuse to participate. That and I work tomorrow, so fuck it. Plus, I went out earlier this week, so no biggie.

You know, for all the bitching and how much it sucks, I will say this: there seems to be a hell of a lot less Valentine's-themed advertising this year. I noticed that at Xmas too, though, so maybe its just an overall decline in themed advertising. Anyone else noticed that?

I did notice that, it's weird. I kind of want to say "chalk it up to our economy." I also want to say: f*** Valentine's day.

I hated Valentines day. My ex loved the fucking day, even though we just did the same thing we always did at least once a week, plus flowers and a long ass waiting list to eat. I don't give a shit about it now, for it doesn't effect my wallet, though I might treat ol righty to a manicure or somethin.

Lmao. Qft on both counts.
What IS it about Valentine's Day that's such a big deal? I absolutely hate it when people single out women for the dumb shit they do (because nine times out of ten there are dumbass guys doing the exact same thing), but in this case I'll pretty freely admit that females are to blame. I have seen guys do lots of stupid shit, but I have never, ever seen them burst into tears or otherwise be upset over the fact that their girlfriend didn't make reservations at an obscenely expensive restaurant, or bring home flowers, on a TOTALLY RANDOM DAY. I mean, if you forget your gf's birthday, or your anniversary or something, all bets are off. But February 14th? Who gives a shit? Now, I don't blame women for the thing as a whole, but we've sure bought into the fucking idea that something special should happen on that day (something that usually involves spending a whole lot of money). That's fucking brainwashing, and it pisses me off that it works so effectively.

Last year was a big one, this year it is toned down.
It is my best friend's birthday, so it isn't a horrible day.

I'm supposed to have a Valentines date and regardless of that going through or not, I still fucking hate it. I didn't realize today was Valentines day until I asked a girl out yesterday and she started talking about Valentines day shit.

Actually, some people are trying to get the male equivalent of Valentine's Day started, What's it called? Steak and a Blowjob day.

Dude, Steak and Beej Day is from The Fox radio station in Vancouver! I listen to em every morning. They've been trying for over a year to make March 14th official Steak and Beej Day and even have coupons on their website 
And yeah, I recorded acoustic covers of a few of my best friend's favorite songs (including an acoustic version of my own 'White Winged Angel', which is about her) and sent them to her. Other than that, yeah fuck Valentine's Day.

I hated in elementary school we had to pretty much get cards for the whole class. Giving a Valentine card to a guy...see the schools are pushing homosexuality onto us! Just kidding but it was really lame to have to get cards for the entire class. I did get a couple Nintendo ones one year which was kind of cool.

I was supposed to have a date but due to unknown circumstances, that is no longer going to happen. Period.
Who has some pot they fly to me?
