I am NOT late on a Valentines Day post. I celebrated the entire weekend before the day and had to spend Monday recuperating from a not-enough-sleep/too-much-sugar Hangover, thankyouverymuch,fuckoff.
Anyway… its Tuesday (or whatever day I actually post this, *blink blink- is it 2011?!! blink blink*) and I was giggling over the production that Valentines Day has become. Even more I was giggling at the production that Non-Valentines Day has become in the “Happy I’m Single” crap floating all over the internet and across my Facebook page.
In my bleary-eyed, Advil-haze I came to the conclusion that Americans NEED to celebrate. We need to look forward to at least ONE thing a month. I mean, duh! Look at the breakdown:
January – New Years
February – Valentines Day & Presidents Day (who cares for some its a day off work!!
March – St. Patrick’s Day
April – Spring Break
May – Mother’s Day & Memorial Day
June – Father’s Day
July – 4th of July
August – the month everyone takes a vacation month (cuz we grasp at anything)
September – Labor Day
October – Halloween
November – Thanksgiving
December – Christmas
Its an obvious pattern. So just roll with it baby! No need to go all crazy or even anti-holiday crazy… its an excuse to mark time. Hell, this is probably how calendars got started in the FIRST place! Cave woman needed SOMETHING to celebrate every month OTHER than the fact she wasn’t pregnant… AGAIN!
