Back By Popular Demand, With A Hint Of The V-Day Love

Good dy everybody! J-moose is back! I know I haven't really done a formal blog for a while, but tonight i'm finally in the mood for a good blog! First order of business is news I guess, since it's been a little while. Um...I'm 18 now! Yes thats right kids, J-moose can now vote, and buy lottery tickets! Anything that comes with this age is either something I could care less about, or it's just generally degrading to women, if you know what i'm talking about.

Besides my being 18, one of the biggest days of the year is coming up this thursday. No, not winter-een-mass, not easter, not flag day, not st.patricks day, not arbor day. No, this is the holiday that turns men into snivelling little powder puffs. This is the holiday where if you've got money to spend on a significant other, then don't be expecting to get that big screen tv next week. It's....*sigh*....valentines day. WAIT! Before you people decide to pelt me with candy hearts and box's of chocolates that have gone stale and will hurt if they hit me, let me explain my reasoning for not liking this day.

So here's the scoop, valentines day has become one of the most commerical days of the year. Yes, there are still those guys who will think outside of the box and give their girlfriend something meaningful and not something worth over $300. I mean, expensive gifts are nice and all, but really what kind of message are you sending to that special someone if all your focusing on, is how much money you've got to spend on them to make them happy? To me it seems as if valentines day has lost it's true meaning, being that it's about love and spending time with your special person.

Let's look at it this way. What happiness does money bring to a relationship on valentines day? Ok, you might be able to buy one big expensive gift, or get them tons of small gifts. But honestly, if you have to use money as your way to get true love, then sadly you don't understand the point of this day. Example: My 4 best friends all have a significant other, whom they all care for deeply. I'm pretty sure that when I asked Felicia what she got Giacomo, i'm pretty sure she told me at least 3/4 of what she had planned was hand made!! Come on people, it's not that hard a concept to grasp. I know if I was in a relationship, i'd want my gift for my girlfriend to mean something special to her, and vice versa. I would hate to get some $300 gift and be like, "I made yours sweetie" cause then i'd look like a piece of crap. Ok, enough with V-Day blogging, back to work on my new peom/song.
