My answer to Valentines day

So the day is finally upon us. The glorious celebration of the birth of Christ? The endearing holiday representing the day of Thanks, spent with family and friends? Or maybe the day of celebration of the birth of our beautiful country? Nope, nothing like that. Its the day Hallmark invented to sell crap and make people feel horrible about themselves.
Well screw that. Ever since I was little, Valentines day was a day where when you were single, it was like a hot poker being shoved into your eye. Ohhh how fun it is to watch all the people who had boyfriends or girlfriends celebrate with candy and toys and other stupid crap. And if you are a guy, who was dating someone, good lord, it was like this spot light on just how romantic you should be. Should being the opportune word there. Lord knows no matter what you did, some other schmuck was going to out do you. "Oh you got your girl chocolates and roses? Thats cute, I got my girl an island, shaped like a heart, that is powered by the strength of my love for her". Adorable. I killed that guy. No seriously, he's dead.
So, here my idea. And read to the end, I might lose you, and I understand that. I'm not saying we should just cut out Valentines all together, i'm saying bring some spontaneity to it. Make it Valentine's week. NOW WAIT!!!! I'm not saying make it a 7 day affair, no no no, not at all. We all cant be Apu Nahasapeemapetilon. What I'm saying is that between a certain period of time, lets use this year for example, February 14th, through February 21st, is Valentines week. Now, what this means is you can pick one of these days as "your Valentine". So lets just say this year, I want to do Valentines on the 17th. What does this mean? Well it means I can get a freakin table at a nice restaurant. Try and do that the 14th. Cant do it, and even if you can, there will certainly be a wait. So right there we have alleviated the issue of diner.
Now onto the whole "I don't have a Valentine" crap. Who's gonna know?? If the 14th comes around, and you work in some office, lil Miss knows it nothing, wont be rummaging around your desk seeing if you one, have anything, or two are planning anything. It takes the whole fact, that everyone knows what day it is, out of the equation. Shit, have your Valentine on 21st, who knows, and who cares.
So who's with me? Anyone? Lets make a facebook page to change it. As I believe that's how you make changes these days. And also lets understand this is a day of romance, not the guy should do everything day. I have been blessed to not be in one of those kinds of relationships. Who ever calls the day first, gets it! So next year, my Valentine is gonna be the 17th, because I called it. Bitches. And now, I'm gonna go put on my Donald Duck costume.
