This day is generally meant for lovers, couples, married people, and chick flicks, but that's not why I'm here today. I'm here to wish a Happy V Day to all of those people who don't have someone to share it with, either by choice or by circumstance. To those who received pity valentines in elementary school, or never received any. To those who make work their lovers, or fantasy their lovers, or...you know whatever floats your boat. To the black, the white, all colors of the rainbow. Basically, what I'm trying to say, and probably not doing a good job about it, is no matter who you are you should feel love on a day like today. I take that back, you should feel love everyday, and today is no different. Commercially it's built up that today should be the above-and-beyond day, which makes the rest of us feel left alone and tossed by the wayside. That's not true.
I've had a hate-hate relationship with this holiday since elementary school (and of course there's a story to go with that), but I've come to realize it's time to grow up. Let the lovers have their fun, just make sure you have fun too. I know, super sappy and somewhat cliché but deal with it, it's V Day. It will always be better than D Day or J Day.
I'll leave you with a quote,
"Wealth is not money. It’s not possessions. It’s not something you can count. Wealth is never having to go a day without knowing someone loves you." - Archymedius
And a message [To The Difference Makers]. Okay, enough of this sappy stuff. I need to see something blow up right now. (Be aware, if you've never seen V for Vendetta, the following could spoil it for you, even briefly)
Love on.
[END TRANSMISSION]
