dustinprewittToday is the 13th of Friday, tomarrow is the day of St. Valentine... could there be a more fitting juxtopisistion of dates?
The workplace today was filled with red. There was a decoration theme contest going on, plus the workplace was offering balloon-o-grams for employees to send to each other... strangly enough, my collective's work area was markedly grey...
Ever since I started grade school, St. Valentine's Day has been a day for exchanging, well, valentines... duh... at first, they were meaningless... cards with your name on them, with the flavour of the month pop-icon printed on them that HAD to be sent to everyone (I think I was the only person in the 5th grade who didnt even bother passing out valentine's)... then as times progressed, they became more personalized, more meaningful...
There was once, in the fourth grade, I actualy recieved a personalized valentine... it wasnt a cartoon piece of cardboard, but an actual card that was actualy personalized... looking back, I regret not being aware or mature enough to truly appreciate it... but I suppose I should not be so hard on myself, being as young as I was...
Anyway... other than that, I never recieved anything for St. Valentine's day. Contrary to popular sentiment, I actualy LIKE Valentine's day... it shouldnt be hated, it should be an extra special day to let people know how much you care about them... of course we should care about our people every day, but one day of the year we should make an extra special effort to show the others, so that they do not forget...
Looking around at all the people who recieved balloons, candy-grams, and other gifts, I felt a tad sad. It would have been nice to recieve a valentine from at least one person, who loved/appreciated me enough to surprise me. For once this year.... of course now that I mentioned it, I would now feel bad about accepted one from anyone, now I would think that it was given out of pity, not out of genuinely desire... like I had to beg for it... but still... it would have been nice to recieve something from someone this year... to remind me that people still care about me...
But anyway...
Looks like Clark is out... Im kinda disappointed due to him being my first choice, but Kerry seems just as well... and Clark seems to like him... but in the end it doesnt matter... I dont care who runs... just:
ANYONE BUT BUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
