Since, 2007, when I became the heartless bastard that I am,  I haven’t had a Valentine on Valentine’s Day.  It’s almost like clockwork; life happens to me just before everyone’s favourite Hallmark holiday and I am single as ever. Nothing has really changed since last year, I suppose.

Well, to be exact, there are still people I send valentine’s wishes to but there usually isn’t a significant other that gets all that usual pampering and attention and whatnot. Since I have not had a long-term girlfriend that made it to Valentine’s Day for so long, I have since had a yearly tradition of buying one more rose than I need above and beyond the friendly roses I send flowers to. Some years it’s a new friend, some years it’s an ex-girlfriend and some years I give a rose to a completely random stranger who looks lonely.

It never hurts to be nice to someone you don’t know as it’s always easy to be cold in February.

Happy Valentine’s Day.
