Oh the tragedy of St. Valentines day. Last night one of my buddy who shall remain nameless, called and said "what are you doing this Sat?" I said "Nothing that I know of." He was silent. So I asked "What is this Sat?" He said "Valentine's Day fool!" I am so out of touch with these couple things that I completely forgot. Yup. It has been years since I actually cared about Valentine's Day. I remember light years ago, when me and my ex, went to La Cienega and celebrated the jovial day. I remember how we laughed and had a moment to tell each other sweet nothin's.... But last couple of years, I pretty much remember hangin' with fools and getting drunk..... Truly a pathetic day for singles. I don't even have that option anymore due to the fact I pretty much gave up alcohol.
So... going back to this friend, he and another friend of mine made a pact earlier this year that they were gonna have a date this Valentine no matter what... hahahaha. But they wanted to include me in their Valentine's day shinanagan. This means I have to get out of my comfort zone and ask some one on a date.... Normally I am all about going after what I want. But just axing some one to be my Valentine is something I do not want to do. Because there are consequences of that I might not want to deal with. You see I am not down with asking someone out that I have no desire for what so ever. Why? Why would I want to do that? To be a nice guy? Or just fufill my needs on the tragic day and say "At least I have a date on Valentine's day?" These friends already had someone in mind for me. CLOWNS! So I told him that I will not participate in this little event. I hate being a single on Valentine.
It starts with your friends who are either in a relationship or married. They throw in this "What do single people do on Valentine's Day?" As if they've never been single during Valentine's Day in their life. Then it's your family. They keep throwing in this "I am worried about you." Oh jeeze. Then there are these terrible single group events. Where all the friends that are single's get together and go out together and keep each other company. What a terrible day for singles. A day that corporate America has branded as this special day so they can make money from all the poor saps that get suckered. Well I am only saying this cause I am starting to feel insecure as I am writing this blog.... Pathetic.
