    I am a man. And from the way I have always understood the holiday and the way the women in my life have approached it since I started dating; the women always percieved it to be an exchange of gifts. Not a one way street at all. But for several years now, I refuse to be sucked into this whole "Valentine's Day" crap.

    Show your love all year long, as often as possible and none of us will ever need a stupid, corporate "Valentine's Day".

    I mean, how romantic is it when one does something because it's a "National Holiday"?

    Is it not far more romantic when one's lover does something nice, offers love, is kind, offers a nice gift or surprise, when it's unexpected and coming from the heart?

    "Valentine's Day", what a joke.
    All 364 days before Valentine's Day are considered "Valentine's Day rehearsal", and all 364 days after Valentine's Day are considered "Valentine's Day Second Act." Many days are designated with their own labels i.e, wedding anniversary; birthday. I still think it is just a day designated for fun.

    Whatever happened to being spontaneously romantic? Sure, it's nice to let somebody know how much you love them, but why just this once? Every supermarket, card shop, chocolatier and florist I've seen today are stocking the most extravagent products imaginable. Why not have them year-round? It's pretty depressing to think that even love is being dictated by money.

    I mean, even if we both decide not to celebrate it she will still feel sad when she hears her girlfriends talk about what their boyfriends did for them.

    yes - yes - yes! this is the whole problem. most girls probably really don't care, but what are they going to do when all their girlfriends are sitting around talking about it or her friends at work?!

    they all need to collectively ban it. birthday, anniversay, x-mas...they get their share in a given year. i was in hallmark on monday and it looked like best buy at christmas time. they have us by the balls dammit!

    I don't call it Valentine's Day. I called it "Forced Romance Day". I choose not to participate.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    I don't know if you have this day down in the States yet? But up here we have on March 14, a day named Steak & Blow Job day. It is like a Valentine Day for the men. See, we are all about spoiling both sexes. So I hope it catches on down there so you won't feel so jaded about love and just another day of being alive.

    This day falls on today in my household! Because this is actually what I am getting!! HAHA! And I NEVER get steak at my house, NEVER! And today I am!!!

    Oh, and yes, my wife and I came to an agreement a long time ago that this day is stupid and there is no need for it. And she actually meant it! As long as I show her the love today that I show here everyday, then I am good as gold!

    And with you being my myspace friend, it's pretty clear that your wife is a lucky woman! :) "this is actually what I'm getting"... I'm spotting a pattern, here... do you only post in response to the oral sex commentary out here, friend?? ;):)

    HAHA!! Thanks for that Angelica.....no, it was more in response to the STEAK part of it. I never get to eat steak at home! She doesn't care for it and since she is the one that cooks, well, I rarely get it. But if the other part happens....well, then all the better the day will be!

    And if I do only respond to those, well, its safe, this way I don't get into all of the name calling and bashing that I see going on around here everyday!

    And for you friend....Happy Valentine's Day! Your man is pretty lucky as well!!! ;-)

    Okay, thanks for clarifying! You mentioned you NEVER get steak, but just left us hanging on the other part! And good insight: The oral sex posts usually are of the safer type of posts to get involved in, interestingly enough! I wish you and your beautiful wife a WONDERFUL Valentine's day back! Enjoy the steak, and...well, possibly, the other stuff! :)

    Ah, it isn't that great....I don't know many people that actually get the work day off for this "holiday".

    The day itself is inanimate, once again...if you subscribe to that system, then don't complain, be happy you can give to someone...

    Valentines day represents the heart and your heart is the key to your soul...

    I just wanted to climb on board this train and wish to all of you, friends and foe, a healthy heart and home....

    thanks for talking to me sometimes when i need to vent; thanks for letting me be soft when i need to be soft and thanks for not taking me too serriously when that illogical passion comes out...

    LOVE YOU, JAMMERS....

    let's make a better world and peaceful as well......

    rockncanada: i send you a peace sign
    soulsinging: i send you a new pen to write your legal docs
    pearlmutt: if you are out there, i miss you
    mamasan: thank you for caring about the people...
    paperplates: i send you a new picnic basket.....peace and love...
    abook and bong: cheers to you for hangin' in so long..
    kat and sea: thanks for not banning me on those passionate dayz....
    oh and hellcat: be well....

    hippiemom: i see and visualize prosperity for you and yours....u r still a cornerstone, sweet one....

    Sounds like fun.


    I spent the night shagging.
