My Annual 'Valentine's Ruins Perfectly Good Relationships' Post

I'm married and very happy. I guess saying that makes it kind of suspect, but just trust me on this, life is beautiful. After working in colleges and high schools for the past few years, I have been able to witness the insanity of Valentine's Day. In five days fifty percent of the couples we encounter will break up simply because some little white kid with wings and a bow and arrow, and his mom, decided to go around hiding in bushes and shooting people with poisoned darts of love. Actually the history of Valentine's Day is very complex and multifaceted, but that's not what this is about. If you want to read up on the history of this day go here.

Over the next few days, guys will spend a ridiculous amount of time trying to decide what to buy. They will hit up Jared's, watch commercials that talk about, every kiss begins with Kay, and they will go to Walgreens and buy old ass chocolates with ready made bows. These dudes will go as far as to use credit cards, which they are late in paying, to take their lovers to eat at the most romantic place on earth, The Olive Garden. Because, as we all know, nothing spells romance like free breadsticks and a waiter named Romeo effing up your fettucine.

Don't Cry Love


Welp, Valentine's day is 26 days away and stop pretending like you're not thinking about it in Mid-January. After the New Year, the ad campaign to put a Hershey's Caramel/Chocolate kiss in every American's hand only reminds me that, as it seems, once again, this will be the gazillionith year that I will possibly be Valentine-less again. But you know what, it's cool though. My fellow bloggers and readers love me, of this I am sure. Enjoy this poem about love and how I strongly advice against throwing that word around unless you really mean it. (As if, anyone really knows what it really means anyway).

P.S. I'm taking applications for a Valentine this upcoming month. No experience necessary. Must have 2 reliable references.
