Valentine's Day

Ok, so here's my position on Valentine's Day, it's a load of crap. Love for someone should be celebrated each day. If you are truly in love with someone, it will be demonstrated on a daily basis with kind words, thoughts, and gestures. Valentine's Day is just another excuse for Hallmark and retailers to make a buck, a very important 1st quarter buck.

There are men who treat their women like shit all year round and then run out and get a card, candy, and flowers on February 14th. It's a bunch of nonsense. Like the dude sitting in his recliner, with his spaghetti stained wife beater T-shirt on, yelling "Bitch, get me a beer" the other 364 days of the year, but he's suddenly such a nice guy because he gets you flowers on a February day. Or the woman who's banging the cable guy while her husband is at work....I'm sure that Valentine's Day card will make all the difference in your relationship.

Here are my words of wisdom:

If you really love someone show them daily
Don't take someone you love for granted
Do nice things on days that society and retailers don't tell you to do them
I know it's cheesy, but HONESTY is the root of any healthy relationship
Communicate, even over petty things
In addition to romance, be "friends" with your partner
Learn new things from each other and be open to new experiences
Bring out the BEST in each other
Help each other reach your goals and dreams

Make it "Valentine's Day" all year round.

I think women everywhere are feeling a little envious right now.
