Valentine's Day is coming and I've been thinking.... the holiday has become disgustingly commercialized. Also, I've been single every Valentine's Day of my life. With that said, I should join the 'Single Awareness Day' folks. Something inside of me enjoys Valentine's Day though. I gleefully celebrate it every year by watching rom-coms, eating chocolate, smelling roses, and wearing red or pink underwear.
Thinking about things I like about about V-day, got me thinking about Cupid ... Who is Cupid? He is the son of Venus (Goddess of love) and Mercury (messenger God). How sweet, a child who spreads love messages. However, un-sweet is the whole history of Cupid and his love arrows. Roman mythology is whacked.
Researching Cupid got me thinking.... In my astrology profile, I am ruled by Venus. Somewhere in the universe, Cupid and I are linked.
Conclusions: Although I disagree with holidays losing their true meaning because of commercialism, I am a love child ruled by Venus. Therefore, I insist on celebrating love holidays.
Other conclusions: Dear John had some sexy Channing Tatum moments and I like celebrating by watching rom-dramas too. Happy Valentine's Day!!!!

Me L Channing Tatum. Grrrrrr.
V-day is very commercialized but we love it anyway. We love LOVE. I know I'm a sucker for this holiday, but really, everyday should be Valentine's day. We should show our love and be romantic every day. We should say I love you everyday. And not with cards and flowers and chocolate (though those things are nice...;). We should show it in our actions and sincere words. Wow, it's late and I'm getting sappy.
Anyway...
Continue to celebrate love in your own ways (you know I'm always up for a rom-com or a rom-dram) and enjoy your single days. What's that song by Natasha Bedingfield about being single...?
Live it up, sis!
Love you!
ha ha. You make me laugh. I loved this post! Happy V-day!
V day is to Celebrate ALL the people you love in your life.. not just a lover of romance. I love you, so this V day I will be thinking of you and celebrating our boosom friendship of love. Infact... I think that girls night we've been talking about should be soon... and in honor of our amazing friends! I'm jelous that you got to see that movie... I'm somewhat of a channing fan myself:)
