Why Valentine's Day? Why inflated flower and restaurant prices and momentary declarations of love, when really if we love someone there are 365 perfectly good daily opportunities to show it every year? Do "Hallmark Holidays" such as Mother's Day, Father's Day, and Valentine's Day add anything to the experience of being appreciated, or is it just another opportunity to guilt us into spending more for Roses?
It all dates back to the early days of 269 AD, where the whole thing started. St. Valentine was a Christian Bishop and February 14 is used to celebrate his Christian Martyrs. It was just a celebration of religious shit then those Corporate people did the true American thing, and capitalized on it. It is just a way to make more money, the actual day has no rhyme of reason but to make other people rich at YOUR expense.
Basically posts about this random kid in this random farming town in the middle of coastal California telling the whole world what's going on in his Third Period Class.
