Writer's Block: Heart to Heart
Hate it. I could go into why, but then this journal would just be a cliche, mirroring the other journals bewailing the evils of shallow commercialism and capitalism. So, instead, I propose the holiday be changed to Venereal Disease Awareness Day. Granted, it would still be a holiday ripe with commercialism, what with the increased sales of contraceptives, but what isn't in this day and age? Aside, of course, from Hanukkah, but that is only because you can't easily part a jew from their money. Another advantage of changing the holiday is that it will affect both singles and couples the same. No more having to run out and buy some fancy chocolates and genetically altered flowers to avoid being tossed out. No more having to feel bad because you don't have someone to snuggle up to on a specific day. No more having hordes of people either wailing about not having a special someone or announcing with glee their love in such a manner that makes you want to punch them in the face. Repeatedly.
So, Valentine's Day should be changed to Venereal Disease Awareness Day, or maybe the holiday should just be done away with altogether. Face it, if you need to have a special day to give your love something special, you've failed already.
Addendum: Valentine's Day already has the initials VD which already means venereal disease in most places. Besides, VDAD has a better ring to it. "Hey dad, what did you get Mom for VDAD?" "HERPES! \o/"
