Valentines Day – A Cynical Bloggers Romance
Monday, February 14, 2011It is nearing the end of Valentines Day here in Australia, and while the blog posts, twitter and facebook pages suggest, Valentines is only special for those who aren’t treated special normally (or something along those lines) Outside in the real world, the shops have the usual specials on Chocolates, flowers are coming in by the bundle, and all the lightweight net users are doing the mushy Valentines special thing.
In all honesty, us cynical bloggers LOVE Valentines Day. No other day of the year do we get such a free pass to mock those celebrating this (and I use the term loosely) Holiday. But they open themselves up for ridicule don’t they? Celebrating your love one day isn’t nearly enough. In fact the very next day the men and women will be back to the old tricks, complaining about their significant others lack of interest in them and their interests, whilst they fight tooth and nail to get involved in any of their interests. This is valid for both genders, but refers to 90% of women.
