Your looks are laughable, Unphotographable, Yet you're my favourite work of art

(i bet this guy had it right hehe )

Oh Valentines day... I pretty sure your the one holiday that I despise (maybe the bunny craziness of Easter, but just the commercial part not the holiday). Everyone rushes out to buy things for their significant other or someone they like and want to hypnotize them with their loving nature and their ability wooooo hehe.
Valentines is mainly for new couples who feel they have to prove something and husbands who have been mean to their wives, get them presents, and cards and their wives forget how crappy they have been treated and may possibly let them off the hook for the night. 
Normal couples love each other everyday and don't feel the need to splash this one day with unnecessary red ribbons and shitty chocolate. 
BUT, if you are going to celebrate Valentines day do me the favor and think out of the box there is nothing worse than a predictable Valentines that has been played out over and over again. Try doing something the other person doesn't expect, something spontaneous.
 I may be a lil biased because every single valentine I every had was either my mother, my father, my best friend, or a lil boy who gave me a power ranger valentine, when I was in elementary school. I just think the holiday is a bit tacky and if your going to celebrate it really celebrate it don't half ass it. Put some thought into the card you pick, into the chocolates you buy. Don't just grab a cliché card and some crappy drugstore chocolates that are probably stale considering they put them out in January. Make a card, or really look at the cards and pick one that is significant. Buy the nicest chocolates you can afford if your going that route. AND please don't just pick the stuffed animal nearest the door. They are cheap looking, and smell funny. Try actually looking at the stuffed animals to see which one he/she may like, pick accordingly. You can be Romantic and dorky in a non-tacky way. 
So I may hate Valentines day because I'm the one who sits at home doing nothing. But No matter what its a holiday fueled by consumerism and....RED (not like the other holidays aren't, this one is just a little more taste-less at times)and if you are going to celebrate it how about making it less predictable so she expects the flower, the chocolate and the Hall mark card but gets those funky earrings she's been wanting or he gets the poster he's been staring at for weeks, mix it up have fun with it, actually give it some thought. Now go my lovebirds and make this the least tacky Valentines ever.
