I think one of the funnest things to do is to meet new people and learn about them. Especially when I find them interesting and/or attractive.

But enough about that. Valentines day is just around the corner and while I’m celebrating my Princess Taylors 7th birthday, I suppose the rest of you will be doing the whole love thing. The other day at work one of the girls was asking what she should get for her boyfriend and more in general the conversation came up of just what to get a guy for Valentines day.

My answer is simple. But first lets talk about Valentines day in general. As you may or may not know:

“The holiday is named after one or more early Christian martyrs named Valentine and was established by Pope Gelasius I in 496 AD. It is traditionally a day on which lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as “valentines”). The holiday first became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.

Modern Valentine’s Day symbols include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten valentines have largely given way to mass-produced greeting cards.”

That’s directly from Wikipedia. Also if you’d like to know a little more about Saint Valentine who the holiday was named after, here’s my favorite except: “…whereupon this priest was condemned to death. He was beaten with clubs and stoned; when that didn’t finish him, he was beheaded outside the Flaminian Gate…”

So as you are giving or receiving ‘valentines’ just remember some guy lost his head before it became an actual holiday! In my opinion, Valentines day is just a crock of shit. A big one at that. It’s the one day a year that prostitution is legalized. What you say? Well I consider any time a guy has to buy something to get a girl to sleep with him as prostitution (including “dating”). So if you’re a woman and you’ve received a gift, just remember, all he wants is sex and to keep the peace between you and him. Which brings me back to the beginning and what you should get a guy. My answer at work the other day was simple: “A blow-job, sex or bring another girl home.” That pretty much encompasses what all guys want.

Don’t buy us flowers or chocolate, give us what we really want, and the ultimate reason why we bought something for you to begin with. I’ve NEVER once heard a guy bitch because a woman didn’t get him something for valentines day. In fact, it’s kinda odd when we do get flowers or a gift because all we really want is sexually related. Don’t make us/let us buy you lingerie, and if you’re a guy, don’t buy any for her. We all know women are self conscious about some part of their body and if you make the mistake of buying lingerie for her, she’s probably gonna put it on in the bathroom, stay in there for 45 minutes being self conscious about it and then only turn out the lights before getting it on with you. It’s a waste really. If you want her in lingerie or she tells you that’s what she wants, I suggest loading her ass up and taking her to the mall and letting her pick something out. That way at least you don’t have to hear her bitch about it later on, plus, maybe just maybe, she’ll wear it more than once if she picks out something she likes.

Well that’s for the most part it. As always, here’s a good song.

Of course if you’re really looking for a good song to get it on to on Valentines day, and you don’t like Manson. Then here’s a different one.
