Silly Cupid, Valentine's Ain't For Everybody

Ten Reasons Why I'm Not a Fan of St. Valentine's Day:

10. I believe in the scientific reasons for attraction. A cherub with wings armed with a bow and arrow is absolutely absurd to me. Cute, but absurd.

9. Love should be shared and celebrated every day, not have a spotlight shined upon it on a date shared with the burial of a Roman martyr.

8. Valentine's Day is a day fabricated for commercial purposes. Americans are estimated to spend close to $30 billion for Valentine's Day this year. How about pooling that money together for a greater cause, people?

7. Everyone will be out on a date on February 14th, making it impossible to eat and find entertainment on a whim.

6. Couples married on Valentine's Day share their wedding anniversary with millions of others.

5. Grooms and their brides all swarm to wed in Las Vegas on this day, thus creating tons of traffic for the rest of us.

4. Think about all of the calories in a box of chocolates!

3. The letters VD stand for venereal disease. No thanks!

2. Roses die.

1. Why spend money on a Valentine's Day greeting card when you can just blog about your love for someone?

I think that someone's still bitter about the traffic she experienced on VD. BUT, I agree. VD should be every day!
