Hallmark invented Valentines Day

OK. I know that this is not really true. I have long disliked Valentines Day. I simply find it very ridiculous. The fact that there is one day of the year that you should show your wife, husband, boyfriend, girlfriend, mistress, pool boy, Latin lover, paid escort, etc. how much you care about them is strange. I mean, conventional wisdom says that you should show these feelings all the time, not just on one particular day. So, that means this one day is not about you expressing your feelings, rather it is about society saying that if you do not buy flowers, chocolate, or jewelery for your "other",they will think that you do not care.

Now, there are two ladies that I love beyond words in my house. While one would be very excited to get a dinner at Chick-Fil-A, the other would not be impressed by that. So, being the reasonable person that I am, (unlike those in congress), I will compromise. No, there will not be flowers, chocolate, or jewelery, but the words of a great song by Jack Johnson.

I've got an angel
She doesn't wear any wings
She wears a heart that can melt my own
She wears a smile that can make me wanna sing
She gives me presents
With her presence alone
She gives me everything I could wish for
She gives me kisses on the lips just for coming home

She could make angels
I've seen it with my own eyes
You gotta be careful when you've got good love
Cause the angels will just keep on multiplying

But you're so busy changing the world
Just one smile can change all of mine
We share the same soul
Oh oh oh oh oh ohhh
We Share the same soul
Oh oh oh oh oh ohhh
We Share the same soul
Oh oh oh oh oh ohhh
Oh oh oh oh oh ohhh
Umm umm umm uhhhhhhmm

Happy Valentines Day.
