Another part of the plethora of year-long consumer holidays. What's there behind Valentine's? Chocolates, diamonds, expensive restaurants, flowers by the field-crop and maybe a brand new car.
How about a brand new conception? As M!SKA & ~*faeryfly*~ said it's just another day of the year. If you're in love you'd know how it is, if not well it doesn't make a difference. Don't get depressed, it's just another corporate scheme to get you to BUY all kinds of crap. Who needs a man or woman for the comfort of not spending a half-assed, pseudo-Catholic celebration of love only to dump them the next day, bitter about it all. Yeah. Fuck that! |

no being ridiculous being manless is hardly cause for death go out and take one home that night if you need to there will be plenty of boys that don't have any ladies either I don't hate Valentine's - I'm no more or less single on that day then I am any other day. I don't have to follow around any lovesick couples if I don't want to Hallmark may be part of the reason we celebrate , but don't forget about Aphrotie's Pal - Eros (aka Cupid) he's a Greek love tradition ...and believe it or not, Greek Mythology predates Hallmark |

February 14 is Valentine's Day. Although it is celebrated as a lovers' holiday today, with the giving of candy, flowers, or other gifts between couples in love, it originated in 5th Century Rome as a tribute to St. Valentine, a Catholic bishop.
For eight hundred years prior to the establishment of Valentine's Day, the Romans had practiced a pagan celebration in mid-February commemorating young men's rite of passage to the god Lupercus. The celebration featured a lottery in which young men would draw the names of teenage girls from a box. The girl assigned to each young man in that manner would be his sexual companion during the remaining year. In an effort to do away with the pagan festival, Pope Gelasius ordered a slight change in the lottery. Instead of the names of young women, the box would contain the names of saints. Both men and women were allowed to draw from the box, and the game was to emulate the ways of the saint they drew during the rest of the year. Needless to say, many of the young Roman men were not too pleased with the rule changes. Instead of the pagan god Lupercus, the Church looked for a suitable patron saint of love to take his place. They found an appropriate choice in Valentine, who, in AD 270 had been beheaded by Emperor Claudius. Claudius had determined that married men made poor soldiers. So he banned marriage from his empire. But Valentine would secretly marry young men that came to him. When Claudius found out about Valentine, he first tried to convert him to paganism. But Valentine reversed the strategy, trying instead to convert Claudius. When he failed, he was stoned and beheaded. During the days that Valentine was imprisoned, he fell in love with the blind daughter of his jailer. His love for her, and his great faith, managed to miraculously heal her from her blindness before his death. Before he was taken to his death, he signed a farewell message to her, "From your Valentine." The phrase has been used on his day ever since. Although the lottery for women had been banned by the church, the mid-February holiday in commemoration of St. Valentine was still used by Roman men to seek the affection of women. It became a tradition for the men to give the ones they admired handwritten messages of affection, containing Valentine's name. The first Valentine card grew out of this practice. The first true Valentine card was sent in 1415 by Charles, duke of Orleans, to his wife. He was imprisoned in the Tower of London at the time. Cupid, another symbol of the holiday, became associated with it because he was the son of Venus, the Roman god of love and beauty. Cupid often appears on Valentine cards |

Yeah the Church ruined Christmas for the pagans too. It never used to be about Jesus. It used to be about sex, spirits, food and demons.
Anyway, v-day is just another day. This will be the first time I've ever had a boy for it. But it never bothered me when I was alone. |
