What about being down with the 213?
For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of our tasks; the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation. -Rainer Maria Rilke
WORD Rilke. Them Germans always know how to express why things are hard.
Man, I have to admit. I know Val Day is a fake holiday, alright? Synthesized straight out of the sticky mucus of Hallmark's bile. I know this. In the midst of knowing this, however, I am a holiday lovah. I love all holidays, I love celebrating things, I love giving shit to people, I love BBQ's down at the park with frisbees, I love cuddling up to the fireplace drinking seasonal warm beverages, all that shit, I loves it!
So when a person like me is confronted with a crappy holiday like Valentine's Day, I feel half cynical/half wanting chocoate and celebration. I'm just a human being.
And don't forget about the other reason to party down Valentine's Day. Tommy Guns, moonshine, back alleys in Chicago...that's what lub is all about.
