Back to the subject of St Valentine's Day. I was born a Romantic and have always thought I would live my life as one but as I walk through life I realise things are not always that simple.
As I said, Mr S and I were having our usual conversation/debate/him telling me to shut up/me shouting to get my point across...thing...phew! One point we both agreed on, was that Valentines day is now only defined by a disgusting commercial greed. Why???? Do you need one day of the year to appreciate and be loving with your partner of choice?
Note.... I have not Googled anything to do with St Valentines Day so this is from the heart, oh and pieces of the conversation between Mr S and I. I think, at one point, St Valentines Day was masked in fun and intrigue. A way of telling someone you were interested in them, expressing your intention (lewd or romantic) within an anonymous card. A thrill of excitement as you tried to fathom who the card, flowers, beautiful set of underwear was from, ummm yeah had a few myself! The terrific feeling as bouquets arrived in your office, envious eyes looking on. Sorry to be a Bah! Humbug but apparently florists sales are 50% down this year because the day falls on a Sunday. Hmmm...think of all those Mistresses, Secretaries etc... that are disappointed on this day.
St Valentines Day means nothing to the masses. Just a trip into town to buy a cheap bouquet, an awful tacky card. I drove into Truro today, the city was full of people clutching flowers, hearts and huge cards. They were of all ages, young, older, middle aged etc... What struck me was the amount of guys wandering around with frowns on their foreheads, with, complete confusion in their eyes as they viewed the huge displays of forlorn flowers and soppy sycophantic cards. I felt rather sorry for them and wanted to shout, for gods sake ignore the lot of it. Cook her dinner and kiss her softly...it will mean so much more. Oh and tell her every day that you appreciate her, not just this day...as it will mean nothing.
This leads me neatly onto the 'I Love You' thing. It is not a difficult equation to get ladies...Love x Lust x Attraction x Respect x Give and Take = I Love You, S'agapo, Je T'aime, T'amo, Aloha Au Ia'oe.....
I do not believe in couples that say 'I Love You' to each other every day. It is just going through the motions. A passion, fire, respect, lust, truth, intimacy, enjoyment and delight of each other is the one and only truth.
Good night all you Lovers out there I am off to watch 9 and a half weeks......
Be Naughty
