Happy Pointless Cash Grab Day!

I would like to start of by saying that my bitterness is not the cause of my hatred for this day.  I just think it is silly that if you love someone one, that you have to tell them via an over priced card with flowers or choclates on a specific day of the year.  Shouldn't the "I love you's" be said daily and if not said small gestures of love...that don't cost money.  Nothling like saying I love you with diamonds then cheating on you behind your back...

I have 3 memorable experiences with Vday...all not good or rather uncomfortable:

1. Grade 7 a guy that had a crush on me decides to send me 10$ worth of candy grams (@25cents a pop that was huge for grade school)  I ended up being the person with the most in the  whole school...which you would think would be  an achievement however i got teased out the ying yang...and proceed to yell at the guy who sent them to me.  I have residual guilt over that situation he is now a gay dentist in Poland....

2.  My first real bf gave me a Low Fat cook book for vday  ...hint hint

3.  Then there was my ultimate fav...Mr. Im going to take my "girl friends" (friends that happen to be girls) out for dinner instead cuz they are single.....yeah that means..."i don't want to date you anymore but i have no balls to break up with you so i'll be a shit head and you can break up with me"...which is what i did and then cried about it to the Low Fat Cookbook guy:(

Useless Yet Interesting Fact:

Canadians spend on average 1 Billion $ on vday every year.  Um people are dying around the world...and this is a priority?

Also:

St. Valentine is turning in his grave..he and apparently many others with the same name who died for God did not do so, so that we can have an excuse to eat chocolates  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentine's_Day#Historical_facts    just sayin....


However if you are gleefully in love and enjoy this day...go ahead.

I got a chocolate bear from a married man in my office who took pitty on my sorry ass.

Sick Again....wtf

I must have a horrible immune system.  I was feeling under the weather yesterday thinking it was a slight hangover from casually sipping CC while skiing with the boys (it was bloody cold and the booze was needed).  However hangover it was not but a sinus infection...my head may explode.  However I am treating my sick self to a nice massage. 

.....

I like to eat so I was very excitted to see a new food joint opened up in the base of my office building. "Spring Box Kitchen"  Looked good and super healthy ...however pricey.  But i'm willing to pay a bit more for quality.  I got a Yucatan Wrap with chicken and bean/corn salsa...sounds delish...but it was not. So disappointed:(  So i made up for my disappointment by having a greasy spoon breakfast.  I ate bacon again and felt bad for my pig friends.

Chilling with Alejandro

Its Thursday night...and i'm sitting by my computer attempting to do my reading for tmrws class which I think i may not do so well in after i indirectly called my Tutorial Leader (who marks everthing) a lazy hippy....Whatevs we were having a debate over the actions of the Police during the G20 Summit and I had to argue for being pro the police force (which i wasn't cuz they acted like a bunch of steroid raged juice monkies).  Anyhoo while trying to find valid reasons why the Police force acted the way they did for the spirt of the debate i got on a rant that went something like "this would't be a problem if the hippies just stayed home"  WELL later found out she was one of the hippies...OOOPS.  SO yeah no modivation here.  Its too cold for the gym....and i've watched so much Vampire Diaries latley that its not healty. 

Dear Hot Vampire: You are welcome in my home any day..or nite.

I don't want to do anything! Im such a demotivated blob...
