OK.
This is my first time posting in a blog, so anyone aware of it's existence will have to excuse the fact that I'm a newbie at this whole thing. ^_^"Today is Valentines Day!
Now, I personally like the fact that there's a day set aside so that we can show each other how we love each other. Whether it's school kids handing out little paper valentines, or Husbands buying their wives roses and diamonds, I like that we set aside time to say "You're really special to me."There are however some things that I do NOT agree with that are attached to this holiday.
- The pressure to buy expensive flashy gifts for our significant other is just stupid. I fall prey to it occasionally, but because I like to shower them with gifts out of generosity, not a social pressure to give her diamonds, or roses. This Valentines Day I gave my girlfriend a beautiful bouquet, and a little teddy bear, but I think she would have been just as happy if I gave her a hand drawn card. I know she loves me, and I don't need diamonds to show that I love her.
- The Over-commercial attack on the holiday is getting to me. It's just as highly decorated and marketed as Christmas or Halloween in some places. Yes, it's a day to show love...but, well this just ties into the "Massive gifts aren't needed to show love" thing.
- The cupid thing is just weird. WEIRD I TELL YOU. A baby flying around and shooting people to make the fall in love? Love strikes without warning, and all the time. A baby is not needed. Plus it's just creepy.
As a shameless plug, I'll put up links to my Deviantart account, where you can see my artwork, and my youtube account, where you can see my videos!
Well...I'll probably post more as time goes on
For now,
SEE YA PEOPLES!!
