Stuff that annoys the shit out of me…Part One.

Valentine’s Day:

Well, where to start? How’s about that the day in itself is a complete sham, purely set up for commercialistic gain, and to make you feel that you in some way HAVE to conform to it, otherwise you are made to feel inadequate and in some ways, a complete loser.

Wikipedia defines Valentines day as: "The day is most closely associated with the mutual exchange of love notes in the form of "valentines." Modern Valentine symbols include the heart-shaped outline and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten notes have largely given way to mass-produced greeting cards.^[1] The mid-nineteenth century Valentine's Day trade was a harbinger of further commercialized holidays in the United States to follow.^[2] The U.S. Greeting Card Association estimates that approximately one billion valentines are sent each year worldwide, making the day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year behind Christmas. The association estimates that women purchase approximately 85 percent of all valentines."

Notice two things that support my claim:

. Handwritten notes have largely given way to mass-produced cards.
. Approximately one billion valentines are sent each year.

What does this tell us, if not that we have been brainwashed to believe that we cannot survive without this day? And that its sole purpose is for the economy to get a boost all in one day?! However this is just a by-product of my anger, my hate for consumerism is great, true, but the single most annoying thing is the way women act on this day. You know the story, it gets close to the day, and in a spur of the moment feeling of generosity, you ask the girl what she wants, knowing full well the answer will be “Oh don’t worry, I don’t want anything” Yeah, bullshit. You know full well, that if you DO NOT turn up with some form of gift that has cost you a major portion of your wage, that you will not be receiving ANY form sexual pleasures, and you can certainly count out oral sex.
Lets face facts, you are damned if you do, and you’re damned if you don’t. What you have to do is give in to the masses, act on accord with everyone else, make a decision that in on a whole, will only gain to make corporations a large amount of money, and in essence, make you waste a perfectly good day, trying to hunt for that special gift, which 90% of the time has to be jewellery, as if you are to get chocolates and flowers you are seen to be “cheesy” or “unimaginative” There is no way out, we have to face facts, we have to do one of two things. Either find the girl who doesn’t care about the day, and shares the same view (Lets face it, that’s either a butch lesbian, or a blow up doll) or just tow the line, as if you don’t…. You aren’t getting anything, except an argument about how cheap you are.

So what is the answer? I imagine you are thinking. Have you read this all for nothing? Well, sadly yes. The only way out of this is to be single, and be classed as a loser, and the fact that everyone is so hyped up about the day will only serve to fuel the fires of your depression, or you can be incredibly narcissistic, and just never settle down, thus avoiding the day perfectly. But there is one lesson we learnt today…. Women are the targets of this day. And you have to admit, as far as commercialism and marketing strategy goes, they did a pretty damn good job.

Till next time happy readers.
