Anyone else as miserable as I am on this most dreaded of days?  I just got off work from walmart as a cashier checking out happy people buying heart shaped boxes and giant "love" cards, not to mention dozens of roses by which a couple have poked my hand with thorns.  Plus on the way home, hearing the local rock station at some porn shop giving away a bunch of sex toys to those same happy couple who've been married 25 - 30 years.  And now here I sit, hoping for some good news in the mail, but not holding my breath.  Anyone else feeling (not "ever felt", but currently feeling) my pain?

Games aren't going anywhere.  Candy's not important to me.  There's that one thing that eluded me and the chase has forced me into a brick wall.

I fail to see the point of this day at the first place. I think you should love your chosen one every day like its valentine's day.

Exactly my thoughts as well.

 

I think you're both missing the point.  The problem is noone has chosen me.

Yeah. I'm not a fan of valentine's day on the whole.

 

If you're single (and don't want to be) it rubs your nose in it. Though it can sometimes lead to decent opportunities of not staying single. But if you're in a relationship it's kind of a no-win situation. If my partner doesn't do anything it's like: "Don't you care enough?" If my partner does do something, it's like: "Are you doing this because you feel you have to?" Heh. I'm awful!

 

I'm glad for everyone that enjoys it, but it just seems to me that a romantic gesture made on pretty much any other day of the year means so much more than it does today.

Well, I can't really say I get depressed around this time. I think of it as my 'Lucky Day', because I'm not into the commercially-overinflated holiday that makes many a male of the species harried into spending oodles of cash just to make their females happy. I'm not running out to buy up bouquets of dying plants, unHeart-shaped boxes of fattening sweets, or going to see what makes for 'her' choice in movies, knowing that it won't have any action, real plot, and I'll have to fight my eyelids just to pretend it's interesting (oh, and if some hot women are on screen, I have to look at her, away, or comment on their bad choice of clothing...when you KNOW you want to take your woman AND them back to the domicile for a romp).

 

So, cheer up! You saved money, you didn't have to jump through smeggin' hoops for THIS day, and you didn't HAVE to participate in something that, by and large, every couple should do FOR EACH OTHER on random occasions to keep being together a great experience for both without the hyped-up mess.

 

So, I'll get drunk (FRIDAYYYY!!!) while killing things or blowing shit up in a game of choice, or sit back and relax to some soothing, melodious Metal while surfing for scantily-clad lovelies to adorn my PC desktop. In other words....

 

I'm enjoying my Solitude, and leaving the crap to others.

 

P.S: Don't say forever, man! Just think....'one day....' and get back to making you OWN life enjoyable first. Your 'self' happiness is a draw for those that want to share in it.

Who cares? Somebody labels a day as such and such and it makes someone miserable? It IS just another day, label or no label. Go ahead and find something fun or exciting to do. Something that will leave behind a couple cool memories. Heck, try doing that every day if you want to have a truly satisfying life.

 

Wanna' know a little secret? If you live life like that you're more apt to be "picked". ;)

I like how we're talking about Sex shops and Vodka. 

 

I happen to manage an "Adult Store" and 1st thing I did after work was a shot of vodka. Fuck V-day lol.

 

EVERYONE wants me to "be their valentine" Without even taking a minute to actually get to know me. They just look at the body and assume it's also open for business.

 

What the hell does it even mean when someone says "Be my Valentine"???? Do people think it's some bf/gf for a day thing?

It is about splurging-you get the horseshit about it being a day where you give your attention to that special someone. By the looks of it though that isn't the case because their are airheads already complaining on facebook about not getting roses, sending them to themselves (lol), or having a shit fit about not being invited/making plans. When I was a kid it wasn't a holiday, and now they get the day off from school-what kind of shit is that? It is get rich day for the flower shops, jewelry stores, overpriced restaurants, xmas for the naughty people, and gray goose day for everyone else.

Never liked the day myself, it has gone from an execution and been made into a day of lovers? like so many other lies we tell ourselves to keep the guilt at bay.

 

Saint Valentine of Rome was imprisoned for performing weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry and for ministering to Christians, who were persecuted under the Roman Empire. during his imprisonment, he healed the daughter of his jailer, Asterius.  Before his execution he wrote her a letter signed "Your Valentine" as a farewell.

And so we are supposed to celebrate an execution?

I guess we should be thankful they haven't made a holiday for all the executions since then.

Don't forget about the other St. Valentines Day massacre.  Chicago, February 14, 1929.  Seven members of the North Side Gang, plus gang collaborators Reinhardt H. Schwimmer and John May, were lined up against the rear inside wall of the garage at 2122 North Clark Street, in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago's North Side, and executed. Two of the shooters were dressed as uniformed police officers, while the others wore suits, ties, overcoats and hats, according to witnesses who saw the "police" leading the other men at gunpoint out of the garage after the shooting.  Etc and so on.

As per the original question, no, not really.  This day hasn't meant anything other than another day to me for many, many years.  7th grade, to be exact.

LOL the catchy names the media always plays with for gruesome events, the massacre had nothing to do with that day in particular, it was just another day in the life of the mob, it just happen to be Feb. 14th. I guess it was lucky for the media it happened on the 14th. if it had happened on the 13th it would sound rather off, "The almost Valentines day Massacre". But it's about the same type of hype though. Whether it be St. Valentines execution or a catchy name for a Massacre it boils down to turning a blind eye to a disgusting event and trying to make it something it isn't .

My GF and I both share the opinion that Valentine's day is like any other day. Just another day that has been hijacked by corporate interests. If you're not being affectionate every day, why bother?
