V-Day

So, the second worst day of the year is coming... Or maybe the third worst.  Obviously the worst is November 4th.  That's the day my mom passed away.

The second worst then would be her birthday... Followed by Valentine's Day.  I've never been a fan.  I mean, who knows, maybe years from now I'll finally find love and be all about it.  For right now?  I'm not a fan.

It just reminds me of all the loves I tried to chase and lost the chase to some other guy.

Oh well.

Love sucks.

What can you do?

I guess the fourth worst day is... Hmmm, well, it's probably the birthday of this girl I once dated.  Or, maybe it's the day that we started dating.

Isn't it strange, the days we associate with people?

I mean, so, when I was born, none of the days of the year meant anything.  Then suddenly... each one of the days of the year had meaning...

365 days in a year.  Some had good meanings... Some had bad meanings.  Obviously my own birthday took on a good meaning...

Then of course the first day of school each year was just blah.

This was all when I was a little kid.  Fast forward a bit...

Now, nearly all the days of the year have at least some kind of memory tied to them.  Obviously different days take on different meaning.

I guess if I ever do meet someone and fall in love... Maybe the day that we met, or the day we get married might mean something, just like other people who have actually found love have their own one year anniversary, or wedding day that means something.

Although, to those who have loved and lost, days that were once good, turn into bad.

I mean, I guess that's just how it goes.

Anyways... This year at least... V-day is a day I'm just not looking forward to.

But, what can you do?  I plan to go to my friend's concert and drink a few beers and take my mind off the fact that it's a crap-tastic type of day.

Hopefully it goes quick and the alcohol takes the "sting" off.

I guess if you've got someone special, you're one f the lucky ones.  For me at least... I'm not looking forward to Valentine's Day at all.  I can't wait for it to be over and done with, that's all I can say.
