Valentines. Day.

Three posts in a short amount of time, I do seem to be spoiling you, not that I mind, it makes me feel a little better know at least someone reads this. As you probably guess I aren't the biggest fan of traditional days of romance, I don't understand the point of roses or an expensive box of chocolate or even champagne. All those things don't say love to me, anyone can ask their assistant/secretary to go out and buy those things for them, how is that romantic? I know that a couple of my friends are putting a lot of effort into valentines day, they have bought food and are currently cooking meals for the people they are in a relationship with, I know because I have recieved a call already on how to make a souffle (not something you can explain over the phone by the way) It all seems a little needless to me. So by now you are probably thinking "oh this guy is a miserable tosser" or something along the lines of that, but I really aren't! Romance isn't about how much time you spend together on a certain day of the year, its about everyday, not just the ones where everything is going smoothly but the ones where you fight aswell. I will admit I am single this year and I was last year also. But that does not stop me from seeing what happens around me,I have been watching people rush out into town to buy things for their beloved, showing just how little today means to them apart from a higher chance of getting laid. Some people will be having chinese food others just lots of wine but the best ever valentines day I have ever had was so simple I was sat on the beach at withernsea with a bag of nik-naks nothing special planned ut had a blanket with me, and when my partenr at the time turned up we sat together just watching the stars listening to the sounds of the north sea and then it rained. Simple effective and well not expensive in the slightest. Ok now I sound like some cheapskate don't I. Well that isn't entirely fair, just because I didn't make an effort that day showed how much of an effort I make the rest of the year. I have a friend who I won't name because he might get pissed at me for using him in my blog, he is a bastard seriously, if I weren't his friend I'd hate him, every year I watch him go and buy a cheap botle of wine and some skanky chocolates which he then offers to his partner on valentines day then he tells her that he loves her then goes out and gets well and truly drunk, leaving her at home, and everytime he comes home he pukes on the doorstep and then walks in, he may not seem like a good person to be dating but they have been together for five years, he has it good so he dosn't mind it but she, well she is scared to be on her own, which is strange because she is amazingly attractive and a sweet person on top of that, when I go round theirs I end uphanging out in the kitchen with her cooking, she could have anyone she wanted just by batting her eyelids at them but she doesn't because he says those three little words. It just doesn't seem fair. Now I aren't one for getting champagne and chocolates because one day of the year dictates I should, I do it whenever I feel like doing it, not because I want to get laid but, because I feel people deserve to be special all year round not just on one day! And hopefully one of these years I'll be allowed to feel special aswell.


Fingers crossed x
