Valentines Day

             Well, its that time of year again..... Valentines bloody day. I don't know
             how I control myself from the immense excitement. Please note the complete
             and utter sarcasm hidden in the latter statement. What a load of crap.
             Valentines day is one great big facade. If there was ever an occasion during
             the year that appears overwhelmingly pleasant, yet in actual fact just
             a sordid excuse for a day, it would be Valentines day. And for those
             unfortunate people who are actually bothering to read this email I suggest
             you refrain from judge me and accusing me of being basically bitter. Yes, I
             do admit that once again I am single on Valentines Day and hence will not
             receive a gift, but this is not foundation of my outright disinterest and
             disapproval of this "loving occasion". What is Valentine's day? In my
             opinion (which I might add probably or definitely doesn't weight much to
             most people, particularly to those who are somewhat tiresome of my
             continuous chain of bitter emails), Valentines Day is not a day where
             people can show "their loved ones'" the extent and deepness of their
             feelings of each other by the purchasing of lame gifts that resemble
             something "warm and fuzzy" like flowers, chocolates or pitiful stuffed toys)
             In reality Valentines Day is fundamentally a day where two goals can be
             achieved. First goal; like any other special day, is a goal for retail,
             where stores can have a field day in selling extensive quantities of
             merchandise. In this case the merchandise only requiring to merely resemble
             love and to exist at a obscenely overprice amount. Now, goal number two;
             this goal is for the partner in the relationship who is needs a desperate
             excuse to earn brownie points. This is essentially because they have done or
             are doing something they shouldn't. Thus, in effect, can then untangle the
             web that they have ever-so-carefully woven with their mistake. For example...
