Okay, so this is my first official blog entry and I don't have to time stamp this. Haha. Well, I think about Valentine's Day a lot, esp. now when the holiday is looming over over heads. I always thought it was a commercialized Hallmark Holiday, and I still thnk that, though I have someone to celebrate it with. Why do we need a special day, just to show someone we care? Why do we need to pick out a day to write a heartfelt letter or buy a box of chocolates for someone? Granted, these occurences shouldn't be an every day deal, but I think that Valentine's Day shouldn't be the only time we express our love. Anyone could die tommorow, so why not tell someone you care today?
Valentine's Day reminds me of other holidays I'm not too keen on, like Veteran's Day. I support our troops wholeheartadly, and I think that we should dedicate more time to them. Not just more days, I mean more of OUR time, as people. Maybe instead of going to the mall you can help spruce up a soldier's house while he's in Iraq. Mow his yard, or even give his family a nice gift card for a decent resturant. These people are sacrificing so much.
Maybe I'm just in a weird holiday mood. Who knows? I don't dislike all holiday's by the way. I love Thanksgiving and a lot of other one's. Okay, well here's to a Happy Valentine's Day to all Mizaharian's and those they cherish.
