Valentine’s Day. The day of love, flowers, roses; you name it. Personally, I find it a heavily commercialized holiday with no real point except to make money and an injection into culture. I also find it a day of bad luck, since I’ve broken up (or been dumped by) every girl I’ve gone out with before Valentine’s Day hit. The “Will you be my valentine?” stuff is annoying, and giving a man or a woman a holiday just to grant them the excuse to ask for flowers is disheartening to me. Valentine’s Day really benefits the companies who arrange the roses and carnations, the high schools that have Valentine’s Day sales, and pretty much every business. Of course, if I was in a business setting, I’d love V-day because it would be an opportunity to make money. But from my personal point of view, I think Valentine’s Day is a waste of time.
Let’s see if I could ever get that past my future girlfriend, though.
