Valentines Day...really?

It probably surprises nobody that I hate Valentines Day. Even when I was in committed relationships, Valentines Day always proved itself to be pretty lame. Granted, I haven't been in a committed relationship in almost 3 years, so maybe I'm beginning to lose some credibility. But seriously, why does this holiday exist? To make single people feel lonely? To reinforce some sort of idea that being in a relationship is better than alfredo sauce?

I mean, guys have to unload all this money on jewelry, roses, all this BS stuff. For what? Why?! I don't get it! It's all bullshit. Just like Christmas is now. Driven by consumerism. If people want to use Valentines Day as a way to express some appreciation, then fine. But stop with the excessive spending and the phony BS. If anything at all, I implore everyone to spend Valentines Day with your friends. Let's face it, if you're in a relationship with someone, you already spend WAY too much time with them at the expense of your friends.

Stop being some mindless droid that just does what you're told. Think about Valentines Day and why you're actually spending all this money. Is it really necessary? Why? It's a bogus holiday just like President's Day. But at least we get a day off for that in the public sector.

And no, I dont feel this way about St. Patrick's Day. The Irish deserve St. Patrick's Day. Is it a little odd that only Irish Americans get a special day? Yes. I will concede that. But, Italian Americans are pretty well celebrated in other ways. Yet, German-Americans may have a beef. There are many German-Americans that came over in the 20th century and they dont get much recognition.

In fact, let this be a shout out to German culture. German food is SO good. Germans are celebrated for their beer, their love for soccer, and their love for sex. Italians are the romantics, but the Germans just get right down to it. In fact, I should open up a German restaurant.

Wow, I really got off on a tangent here. Let me just say that things have been pretty crazy for me lately in terms of school winding down. I'll be graduating in May and studying for the bar so I've got a pretty daunting road ahead of me. Since I'm the only one that posts anymore, I just want to say I'm going to do my best to keep this blog fresh. But at the same time, I don't want to force myself to write anything because then the blog will probably become hackneyed and stale. Patience, whatever readers are left.

For what it's worth, I'll give you some updates on how the original members are doing. D is currently working in New Jersey, he'll be there for another week or two. Overall, he seems to be doing alot better since the end of 2009. Rocco is still working with retards but is gearing up for his first season as the head coach of Lesley baseball. I'm actually pretty pumped about that still as it has become evident they will be one of the better teams in the Boston area with the demise of the Red Sox. Jimmy? well, anyone who knows Jimmy probably knows exactly how Jimmy is doing.

Alright, so yeah, I'm heading to Tennessee in a week so I'll be gone yet again for an extended period of time. The South is a pretty interesting place. no doubt I'll be hitting up more Waffle Houses on the way. Say what you want about the South, but its got Waffle Houses, and Sonic, and all those other awesome chains that never make it up to the Northeast. What a bummer.
Alright, I'm off for now. Stay in touch folks!
