Post Valentine's Day Rant

I was going to write this post last week when it would seem more relevant but I got busy.  But I said to myself, no matter how late the day I'm still going to blog this.  So here it is.

Last year, I wrote a Valentine's themed blog entitled 'Part Time Valentine' where I just had a flashback of a conversation I had with a female friend of mine back in high school.  Check it out when you get a chance.  This year, as Valentine's Day came and went, I noticed alot of the same thing.  We have the posts about those who love Valentine's Day. . . . We also have the bitter bitches. . . .But I'm going to focus on the ones that say 'Valentine's Day should be everyday'.

Is it really though?  I'll add my two cents but my good friend Patrice L. said it best when she wrote this in a fb status:

"My V-day twitter rant...

Valentine's day CAN'T be everyday. People have jobs and children and shit to do. That's why there IS a day set aside for all the lovers of the world to stop everything else and recognize it. Let it live. I hate when people say ! Valentine's Day should be everyday"! No it shouldn't. That takes the fun out of it! Should you show your s/o love and affection and let them know they're appreciated everyday? Of course! But all the extra shit for Vday is not, cannot, should not be an everyday thing. That's like saying your birthday should be celebrated everyday because you should celebrate everyday you're alive. While this may be true, who the hell has the time, energy, or even the WILL to do that?! So can we please cut the "Vday should be everyday" nonsense?! Cuz it shouldn't."

Whether you like it or not, she has a point.  Valentine's Day should be celebrated in that one day.  Of course you  should love and admire the person you are with everyday but all of the extra stuff just isn't possible every single day.  Of course it's good sometimes but it if was received EVERY SINGLE DAY, it would lose it appeal and its flair.
