Am I that guy who used to scoff at Valentines Day and say it was nothing but a drug store holiday designed to sell mass quantities of greeting cards and who actively, enthusiastically even, used to participate in Anti-Valentines day parties that included bowling and mountains of pizza and snickering at the loser couples all around us?
Yes, I am that guy.
Do I still feel that way?
Hells no! I love Valentines Day now! It’s all Jennifer’s fault. You know the story, cynical boy meets perfect girl and suddenly his entire outlook on life changes drastically. That’s me too. Objectively I know that I don’t need a “holiday” to express to Jennifer how much I love her. I know that. That doesn’t mean I’m not going to use the day as an excuse to go over the top and lay it on as thick as I can. Why not? I am head over heels, completely off my rocker, nuts in love with her. Why wouldn’t I take advantage of the situation, even if it is just a drug store holiday?
Happy Valentines Day to the love of my life, Jennifer. Every single aspect of life is infinitely better now that I’m with you. I love you!
