Today's TLA is HVD.
Happy Valentine's Day
Valentine's day has always reminded me of a Simpson's episode called "I Love Lisa". It is the episode where Lisa Simpson gives Ralph Wiggum the "I choo-choo-choose you" Valentine's day card. Anyways, I guess I always identified with Ralph. So like some girl gives you a hint of attraction and then she crushes your heart and you are left defeated and hurt. (I should probably use my inner voice...inner voice!)
I remember in elementary school my classmates and I would always give each other Valentine's Day grams. I think one year, I gave away Scooby Doo cards. It was fun. We used to get those heart candies with the little messages from our teachers as well. How come when we are adults, we no longer give each other cards and little candies and stuff? Do we "grow" out of that stage? How come girls get flowers and all the girlie stuff during Valentines day? Like how come marketers don't capitalize on manly things? Like tickets to a sporting event, new Black and Decker tools, or even perhaps gift certificates for Fry's Electronics. Who am I kidding? I will probably just get a phone call from my mom during Valentine's day.
On a side note: Today's is Gil's birthday. He only has roughly 175,188 hours till his 48th birthday! We were talking about the urgency with regards to time. We were discussing the question: "What would you do with your time from age 28 to age 48?" On a generic note: What should we do with the precious hours from now till we are 48 or till we reach middle age and essentially till the time we die?
Enjoy,
Jonathan
