Valentine's Day

#1 Post by Fluenza »

Even though I don't like girls and haven't the stomach for all of that romance crap, I realize that Valentine's Day is upon us. And while it will be a cold day in Hell before I will ever celebrate Valentine's Day myself, I would just like to take this opportunity to wish all of the lovers of the world a most spectacular and rewarding Valentine's Day. Happy Valentine's Day folks. :D

Yeah its coming and I see some friends who have girl friends try to prepare somethings to gift them. I find that easy and comic. Nevertime anybody can't specify for me such days. Gift ? Okey but leave me myself. It gift can be wortful and meanfull only if I give it to you when I want. It must be comletely my self think. It must come from my hearth. Not a day's force.

If a girl don't care , is this gift comes from his heart or only a day's tradition, she doesn't worth anything for me. Because she lives with affectations. And I hate from them.

But if you not so, happy valentin days for you. ( It must be already so, in this circumstances ) :D
If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, it's yours. If it's run over by a car, you don't want it.

This is a stupid holiday.
I think so because if only on this day you take your gf somewhere, or buy her s.th. and if only on this day you care about her, you are a fool and you don't deserve her..

I don't know, if it is only in Bulgaria, but tomorrow is 'Trifon Zarezan'. The holiday of wine and grape. So I will celebrate it :)

Just last night I was asking my wife if there were any things in particular she'd like. She mentioned a few things (earrings mainly). When it came my turn to offer suggestions, I said that I could really do with an external HDD; my wife was bowled over by the romance of it all.

Valentine's has never really taken off in Norway. The stores try to push all kinds of crap that's supposed to prove you love someone. Some people actually buys it...

My SO and I don't need a special day to say we love each other, we do so several times a day. We don't need a special day to buy a gift. We do so every now and when we find something special that the other will like.

I never understand why someone need a mark in their calendars to remember to do something special for their spouse/ girlfriend/ boyfriend/ whatever.

When you love someone, every day is valentines day...

Aye, fight and you may fail, sellout, and you may live, a while. And dying in your MScash beds, you'll be willin' to trade ALL the cash, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may FUD our customers, but they'll never take...OUR FREEDOM!

Just dont tell the wife! Actually she know I am weird and she would probably understand my GNU luv, :D Heck we have been married almost 17 years which is just about half of our lifetime so far so I think she is stuck with me no matter how weird I am.

Well what do you know?! I wake up this morning, unwrap my gift and find a nice 250GB external HDD :D Just in time for me to backup, format and install the latest release of sidux (my other Valentine's treat).
