Just Another Day...

I do this every year, and anyone who knows me knows that I don't necessarily think that Valentines Day should even be a holiday. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I think Valentines Day is a holiday created by the greeting card companies, chocolate manufacturers, flower shops, and single guys looking for their shot at "love." I think it's wonderful that guys want to do something special for their girlfriends and wives on Valentines Day, but I don't like that we've had to set aside a day to help us remember. If a man is truly pursuing a woman, shouldn't he go out of his way to do little things to make her feel special all the time? The answer is yes guys. It is not a difficult (or expensive) task to write a letter or buy a flower every once in awhile. And when I say write a letter, I mean WRITE a letter. Don't go to the store and buy some cheesy card and sign your name! Oh goodness, Valentine's Day frustrates me. It's just so sad that Google's most common search this past week was "when is Valentine's Day", and that was closely followed by, "Cheap engagement rings." Come on guys! Are we really that dense? I want to write a law that states every man must watch a movie made between 1930 and 1950 every day until they understand what a real man looks like.

I dedicate this post to all of the guys who think Valentine's Day is just another day on the pursuit for their princesses. Keep up the good work gentlemen.
