Would you be my Valentine?

Happy Valentine's Day to all those reading this. And if you're single and ready to mingle, Happy Single's Awareness Day! Damm.. Feb 14th used to be a day for all these florists and card makers to make a quick buck and con those love struck couples out of their money, now they've gone and made it a single's awareness day too. Soon there'll be cards out there wishing you a partner next Valentine's. Haha! You guys ain't leaving no one out eh!?

Anyways, was just sitting around doin nothing (after watching 'Scarface' which mind you is a totally awesome movie, wish I saw it earlier!) when I started thinking about this Mr. Valentine. So I 'googled' it only to see numerous different stories about 'St. Valentine.' Oh yea, he's a saint by the way, martyred by the Catholic Church. If its the same guy here that we are talking about I really don't know.

All I do know is that Hallmark and Memory Lane are making a bucket load of cash over this period. It seems that the number of cards sent on Valentine's is second only to Christmas (info courtesy of the ever reliable wikepedia!). Wonder how come St. Michael or St. Peter's day don't have this many cards, if any, going around. I mean, one is the defender of satan, a powerful archangel and the other one stands at the gates of heaven, deciding who gets in and not, but its Mr. Valentine that gets all the attention... Well I guess love conquers all.

So yea, now I'm sittin here thinkin what to do tonight. Thank god I'm going out with a princess who is not as sappy as those hopeless romantics out there and just enjoys the thought of spending the day with me. If only you all were so lucky huh! But still, that weight of expectancy is there, sometimes you just wanna do something different and today is that excuse. So go out and spend some extra 'moolah' on your loved ones cos hey, a little spice in the relationship could never hurt!

Anyways, to all my readers in relationships, Happy Valentine's, and you single folks, Happy Single's Awareness Day. (maybe next year eh!)
