Happy Valentine's Day from your pal at randomness...
Brilliant, brilliant stuff via youyesyou
I don't know how it happens, but Valentine's Day always sneaks up on me. Even in the years that I've had someone to celebrate the made-for-tv holiday with it's been fairly annoying and uneventful. I am a pretty damn romantic guy (or so I like to think) but the whole exercise seems pretty hollow. Like there's one day a year that you're supposed to remember those that you love. For the other 364 they can merely be an afterthought. Maybe it's just my way of coping with the fact that I'm destined to be alone again while everyone else is out swooning. But I really don't understand the concept of taking one day to show the world that you're capable of embracing the one you love.

Posted by: deano on February 13, 2004 01:35 PMIt's just another day - not everyone is out swooning. I mean, has anyone yet noticed that today is Friday the 13th?
But I see what you mean. Tomorrow is like the Super Bowl of romance, overblown, overrated, not at all sacred.

Nothing like 75%off candy to make your weekend a little sweeter.
