Random Rants XXXVII: The Server Is Too Busy

[_random_]

God, my boyfriend and I just got into a huge argument over this stupid holiday because I called it "Christian Martyr Day" and made fun of it.
He ranted on about some stupid reason about how people celebrate today for love.

What a stupid day. I hate it to the very core.

I think Valentine's Day has gotten it the worst out of all religious holidays. I mean, Christmas and Easter have been commercialized to hell and back, but the vast majority of their celebrants know their significance, and many are more religious on those days than they would be otherwise. How many people actually know anything about St. Valentine? Catholic Encyclopedia doesn't know anything about St. Valentine, besides that he was actually three people. There's no increase in piety, just an increase in gluttony and greed and lust. Gah.

Valentine's Day is 80% complaining about Valentine's Day.

Sweetest Day FTW. No claim on some ancient saint, just pure commercial greed. Heck, it was created by candy companies.

Ah, Valentines Singles Awareness Day. Also known as my birthday.

St. Valentine's Day is better than St. Bartholomew's Day, now more well-known for the brutal slaughter of hundreds of Hugenots in 1572!

Some serious relaxing required methinks ....

I sent a few girls a friendly "happy valentines" texts or calls . They seemed to appreciate it

I received a few friendly " happy valentines" texts or calls which I appreciated

I'm torn - I never got a chance to give the valentine's card I made today. But on the flip side I spent a good while wasting time at work drawing a card with a heap of dinosaurs on it, and drawing dinosaurs is brilliant.

I'll put it as a rant for now.

Rant: I made myself cry today because I can't help but think I'll never be able to step onto a habitable earthlike alien planet, look up, and see two suns in the sky, like in star wars, but on a lot more life-friendly planet.

I really, really, REALLY want that to happen....

There could've been little Kans, man. Imagine the awesomeness of long hair, a kilt and that cane! added to good looks (I suppose the mother has them) multiplied by the number of mini-Kans.

Quick, Photoshop long hair and a cane into this:

I guess it's the closest we'll ever get.

Well, Kan, you'll just have to wait and see if you can get into the place where it is all possible- Japan.

Found out tonight that I'm still notorious around here (CFC) for something I'd rather not be.

St. Valentines Day is known for it's own "massacre" here in the U.S. (Quotation marks are because only 6 people died, five of them gangsters.)

You expected people to forget that?

Yeah, but we've romanticized the gang activity of the Prohibition Era to the point where that's one of the cooler aspects of the Holiday.

Being an American, I haven't even heard of any days aside from St. Valentine and St. Patrick.

Of course, by American standards, that is a massacre.

 

[PlutonianEmpire]

You expected people to forget that?

Yeah. I still knew they'd remember it, but I was hoping at least it wouldn't be that big of a deal anymore.

If it makes you feel any better, I don't know what the heck you're talking about. (No, really, I don't.)

 

[madviking]

Both my girlfriend and I were both busy on Valentine's Day. Meh.

Spoiler Because I do feel shame for it :

I originally heavily promoted incest my first few years here. I've fortunately gotten over this obsession.
