Happy Valentines Day! I always tell myself that its just a ridiculous nonsensical holiday created as a marketing scam to get you to purchase more STUFF. That sounds so cold and cynical but might be some truth to it. When the day actually gets here I can't help but be a little melancholy. It forces me to really examine my non-married status. Which most days doesn't bother me. I'm doing my best to work on relationships and all that fun crap. When this day comes around all I can do is make cute Valentines for my loved ones. Curl in bed and binge watch TV and eat some ice cream!
This song by the Shirelles always helps keep my head on straight. "My eyes were wide open, but all that I could see is, the chapel bells were tollin', for everyone-a but-a me. But I don't worry 'cause...
Mama said there'll be days like this." I need to worry less and find happiness in the here and now!
I hope you all have a lovely day of self refection and what love means to you! There's so much love in the world lets not forget its out there!
I didn't really send Valentines this year, but I did make some cutesy red mail! I filled all of these with hearts after I came across my heart hole punch while looking for something else. Seemed like the universe was sending me a sign! I can't help but play into the Valentine thing at least just a wee bit! Its all around how can you avoid it! My reply pile is also down to one letter! It hasn't been this small in quite sometime! I might need to find some new pen pals to write too!
My current favorite song is Overflow by Ghost Loft. I quickly fell in love with this song. I always approach electronic-ish music with a critical ear. So much of it sounds alike that it really needs something special to draw me in. In this song it was the trumpets in the background, right when that started I knew this song was one that was going to stick with me for a while. The rest of their stuff is pretty decent but this song is by far my favorite! Anyways, let me know what you think! Any suggestions of stuff I should listen too?

Valentines is one of those things that is very silly and pointless to ignore. You can't go a whole day without seeing it or hearing it. I'm at the point where I just accept it and enjoy the concept that is Valentines day! Here are some really neat things I've come across that are Valentine-eey.
