Do I sound cynical?
That's just because I'm tired. I had really bad insomnia two nights ago and after one hour of sleep I woke up to the sound of drilling at 8:00 am. When do people drill outside of my apartment? Apparently, only when I've had one fucking hour of sleep. I woke up thinking that God clearly hates me.
So, lo and behold, it's Valentine's Day and another perfect opportunity to feel depressed and victimized by the ungenerous forces of the universe.
However, in truth, I'm not really bothered by it and am looking forward to seeing There Will Be Blood (because blood is red and it is Valentine's Day) with a friend, and celebrating this Free From Assholes Day (yes, I am cynical). I've spent most of the day rehashing my previous relationships with my friend in Coffee Shop Land. Probably not healthy, but certainly fun.
Just for today, I can celebrate Free From Assholes Day!

Benjamin, I know how you feel. I object to the Hallmark Card "holy" days because these are occasions where you're supposed to feel one way or another- as if each day were an episode out of a 1950s television show. Perhaps this can be the inspiration to try and bring a bit of holiday into ever day. There are people like Stella and SCB who try and bring a little love and sunshine into everyday- and not always with a smile. Just gifts of understanding and perspective. If we make a point of sharing a little love every day, perhaps each day can be Valentine's day - just a little. Pax, Karl
