Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I know not everyone has a valentine (myself included) but I won't join the ranks of those "I hate Valentines Day" people who go out of their way to wear black on Feb 14 and sit at home, stuffing their faces with chocolate ice cream and pork rinds while bitter, evil, and unclean thoughts fill their minds. Yeah, I'm sure THAT will make it all better.

I'm also not one of those "I love ME and I don't need a valentine" kinds of single people who go around with forced smiles and wear red just to show everyone how annoyingly and (unrealistically) positive they are. These people are so obviously in denial that that you KNOW they're one step away from throwing themselves in front of the nearest city bus. If they don't, they end up sitting at home, stuffing their faces with chocolate ice cream and pork rinds while bitter, evil, and unclean thoughts fill their minds.

So if you don't have a valentine and feel bad about it, admit to yourself that you feel like sh*t. Emotional sincerity is healthy. Understand that you can''t choose your feelings. However, you DO have control over doing or not doing things that will make you feel worse.

So don't do anything stupid, which includes (but is not limited to) threatening, stalking, prank calling, flashing, and driving your car into a wall at high speed (even if you are curious as to what the air bag smells like). Valentine's Day is just one day out of the year, for God's sake. And if you're like me, you'll be spending most of that day at work anyway.
