Happy Singles’ Awareness Day


Oh, we have come to another Hallmark holiday, where the price of roses sky-rocket and the knees of good men turn to jelly. It is that time when singles are forced to be made aware that they are single. A Spanish philosopher, Jose Gasset once said "We fall in love when our imagination projects nonexistent perfection upon another person. One day, the fantasy evaporates and with it, love dies." There you have it, so back off Hallmark.

I better be careful as it is leap year so I'll keep low and allow wine and chocolate cake to be the best cure for Valentines. So happy unimaginative, consumerist orientated entirely arbitrary, manipulative and shallow interpretation of Singles' Awareness Day.
