Valentine's Day. Yippy!

I basically hate all holidays but I especially hate bullshit made up holidays. Valentine's day has no redeeming aspects what so ever.

If you are married or in a relationship you feel pressured to buy gifts and meals for your girlfriend/wife. Plus you have plan everything out. If you did not make dinner reservations weeks in advance you are shit out of luck. Oh and you can't expect Red Lobster to be good enough either, nope, you need to eat at a "fancy" or "hip" place and by that I mean expensive. (Dating/relationship tip - If you know how to cook and the stuff you make actually tastes good, do not use that power very often. If you have a new chick by all means whip up a meal or two but once you have her hooked keep that in your bag of tricks. Then when you forget to make reservations or do something else to get yourself in trouble you can bail yourself out and it will seem sweet and thoughtful, ha!) The gifts are even a bigger joke. A crappy box of candy shaped like a heart filled with the most disgusting creations to ever come out of candy land. I mean whoever came up with those candy fillings should be shot.

Now if you are single guy it is a whole different story. You can go one of two ways. You will either feel like a loser for not having someone to share this oh so magical day with or you will be filled with joy that you don't have to waste your cash on this nonsense. For me it is a combination of both. I am sure I will feel a slight bit of sadness as I sit down to enjoy some tasty wings and draft beer, alone, but once I get a nice buzz and pay my $15 tab I'll feel much better.
So happy Valentine's Day to all you suckers.

Mat and I were debating going to McDonald's to get two quarter pounders (with cheese) each because we had two, two-for-one coupons, but the snow is keeping us home. Instead, it's a frozen pizza. Clearly, not all women demand expensive restaurants and high-class food. Red Lobster is just fine, but only if we have a coupon.

You should not let a little snow get in the way of some tasty quarter pounders. Here in the Cleveland, Oh area we got about 12 inches and people are acting like the world is coming to and end. I mean holy shit half of the people in my office did not show up for work.
