St. Valentine's Day

I'm one of those people that forgot about Valentine's Day. Well that is until everyone around me decided that it had to be the sole topic of conversation. Everyone spends today either talking about how much the hate the day or how much they love the day. Either way you're a total slave to the holiday.

If you spend the day bitching about how corporate it is and how it's just an excuse for single people to feel sad, then you're just as worried about it as the people who are freaking out about what they're getting their date. Whether you're anti-valentine or pro-valentine it's a day like any other. Honestly, if you don't like the corporate crap, then don't participate. It's really not a hard concept to ignore things. Heck most of you probably spent your teen years practicing on your parents.

Like anything there are pros and cons.

Cons:
1. It's ridiculously corporate.
2. You have to listen to all your friends bitch about it (or brag about it).
3. For three days they only show the Valentine's episodes of your favorite shows.

Pros:
1. It acts as a catalyst for people to tell each other how they feel.
2. The day after, you can buy crap tons of candy for half off.
3.  For three days they only show the Valentine's episodes of your favorite shows.
