V-Day

V-day is here again and I am not incorrectly referring to the anniversary of the end of World War II. I am referring to the pointless V-day, also know as Valentine's Day. In a previous blog, Quizibuck truly defined what Valentine's Day is: Single Awareness Day (a.k.a. SAD). Yes, single/dateless people get to sit on the sidelines and watch the other half celebrate love with, cards, candy that come in heart shaped boxes, and roses. I know no one is being forced to watch the other half celebrate this day, but unless one is staying home all day, there is no way to avoid it. Being reminded of what you don't have has a funny way of rubbing a person the wrong way.

There are some advantages of being single and unattached, but to be honest my heart isn't in it. Originally, I planned to have a blog that puts a positive spin for us lonely people,that would help us get through this day, but I changed my mind during a restless night. I realized that in good conscience I cannot offer any positive ideas, because I do not feel positive on the subject. I hate to whine and complain on my blogs, but I have to be honest.

I am no longer in my 20's and I still have no girlfriend or any prospects for one. I consider myself to be a person who is generally courteous and is willing to improve one's self. This is not to say that I don't have my bad days (trust me I do). The one thing that gets me the most is that I see guys that are either act rude to their girlfriends (OK, you can call them assholes). Standing and seeing a guy treating their girlfriend like they own them is hard for me. Why aren't these men lonely, I have no clue. I still hope someday, that the right person will arrive. I still can't help myself on hoping for that, but I do wonder at times. So, what do I do till then? Well, the only thing I can do, continue to improve myself. So when, I find myself with a loved one I can be the best man I can be for her.

To the other half I say this: Celebrate till your heart is content, but keep us in your minds and hearts. Oh, and another thing, don't take all the candy. We like to get our share on the 15Th, when they are on clearance.
