Happy Valentine Day my Love, my sweetheart!

I’ve been watching and listening to people talk about this over exaggerated day. I don’t understand why people get so excited and or nervous because they don’t know what to buy their significant other or their loved one. I’ve for the longest time couldn’t stand valentine day. I don’t know why but I couldn’t stand it. You got a bunch of dudes frantically trying to figure what to get their wives and or girlfriends because lame society makes people believe the man has to buy his woman something.

I sat down the other day and turned the television on just to watch and I saw about 20 commercials about buying flowers and oh not to mention all the jewelry commercials. There is Zale’s, Daniels, Don Roberto’s, Kay’s, Robin Brothers, downtown Los Angeles and so many others to mention. All I hear is sell, sell, sell make money, money, money.

It irritates me because since when did Valentine’s Day become such a money spending day?

I’ve sure there are women who totally love the endless flowers, jewelry and dinners. But I’ve always questioned wouldn’t they just want to spend time, actual time with their significant other. Just curious! Since when has spending money mean and how much you spend as if that’s how you love the other.

Don’t get me wrong ha-ha I am not hating on flowers or dinner and jewelry. I love flowers, flowers are so beautiful, and jewelry is beautiful.

Maybe the sociologist in me questions all these marketing bunch of crap. Oh if you lover her buy her a $1000.00 necklace, ear rings, rings and pearls. I don’t get it, what happened to a beautiful heartfelt card and a single rose it was the thought that counts. Am I missing something?

How did a massacred day turn into a madness of love day? Oh a pope declared the day of love. Who really knows because I’ve researched it and there are so many different types of information so who can really answer the information. Ha-ha

The over exaggerated money spending day continues, I’ve worked in an Italian restaurant for years back in the day and I seen it all, the wonderful guys taking out their woman to break up with them, seeing the girl cry and the guy apologizing, the guy proposing, some say yes some say no. It can turn into a bittersweet day for some people well it can be head over heels full of love.

But to those who receive gifts appreciate them. And to the woman and man who don’t have someone special to receive some chocolates, card, or flowers. You can always buy them for yourself to make yourself happy and feel special.
