Are they kidding me?!?!

Ok, so while procrastinating some more, i came upon this list of things NOT to do on Valentine's day. I couldn't believe some of the things on this list.

#2: Don't be cheap. Valentine's Day should be the day that you celebrate your love for another person. "It's the thought that counts" is fine for Christmas, but it's the gift that counts for Valentine's Day. Some people try to say that they don't believe in commercialized holidays... and those people are usually cheap.

Now, is it just me or does that sound ridiculous to anyone else? If its the gift that counts, and not the thought, then how are you showing your loved ones your appreciation? By how much money you spend on them? Damn capitalist society! I've always believed its the thought that counts. As long as you try your best, shouldn't that count for something? Just like in IM sports. If i'm trying my best, does it matter how much i suck? Oy...but thats another blog altogether. And, according to this list, i must be cheap, cause i sure don't believe in commercialized holidays! Except for halloween...that ones ok in my book.

#9: Don't buy practical gifts. This is always a temptation for us married types. But blenders and vacuum cleaners (even with that pretty red bow) just won't cut it.
Who wrote this?!?! Practical gifts are the greatest! Anyone who knows me would know that I love practical gifts, and I'd love to get a blender or vacuum anyday! But then again, i guess this list is catering to the general public who looks down upon practical gifts, and not me, the cheap and practical Vday hater.

sigh...10:17pm. Paper still has not decided to write itself, instead, paper has made me its bitch, looking up tidbits of info in books, readers, and putting commas here and there. The great Bruce Lee once said, "The possession of anything begins with the mind." If i think about paper enough, will paper finally decide to write itself?

But first, i should probably stop blogging.
