Lets get smarter together.
me: Valentines day
worst holiday ever
you don’t even get it off
Brandon: i know
it’s weak.
me: seriously, I sent Jessica flowers
but does she feel special
she might say she does
but does she really
no I’m sure she doesn’t, because I’m sure everyone else working with her or around her probably got flowers as well. Then it simply becomes this flower comparing contest.
Did I mean it when I sent those flowers. Sure, but does it matter. No.
the only people effected
are those who don’t get something
and those people go home
alone
and want to kill themselves
why?
all in the name of love
which is spelled
c o m m e r c i a l i s m
“oh what did you get?”
“I got flowers”
“oh I did too, how unoriginal of our boyfriends”
“oh what did you get?”
“I think my boyfriend forgot”
“oh well, he’s a jerk, you should dump him”
“oh, how about you, cindy?”
“I don’t have a boyfriend . . . ”
Brandon: HAHAHAHAHA
dude…BLOG this!
me: “wow that must really stink to be you, being such a lonely loser with no one wasting money on you for the sake of keeping with societal conventions”
if society were a person
I would fiercely maim him/her/whatever
Brandon: lol
me: for all of mankind
Brandon: i agree
i’d help

I hope you are happy, FTD, 1800flowers, and all the rest of you thieves of joy and societal peace. Don’t worry, I’ll resume happier posts tomorrow. Till then I’ll be frustrated with the concept of Valentines day and the forcing of affectionate gestures diluting the value of genuine gestures once a year.
I am constantly trying to learn more and work smarter. The idea here is to share what I find along the way. Maybe you'll find some things here that will help you too. The main areas of my curiosity are technology, leadership, business and working with children. I hope you like what you find.
