The Un-Valentine's Day

I've decided that today is the Un-Valentine's day as it is in the opposite part of the year from regular Valentine's day. I don't want you to get the wrong idea & go about spreading hate or breaking people's hearts or sending dead flowers. I am in no way endorsing such behavior. Rather, I think today should be a day focused on telling your non-significant others you love them. The people who actually hold great significance in your life but will always take a backseat (often not by choice) to your boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse. Sure, some people do that on Valentine's day, but we all know ultimately Valentine's day is not about that. So I am declaring this new holiday, dedicated solely to that. Happy Un-Valentine's day everyone! Let a friend know you love him/her. It'll make their day. Consider this my way of saying I love you. I know writing it in a blog is sort of a cheap way to do it, but give me a break I just created a whole holiday for you. What else do you want from me? Next year I'll send cards. Seriously, though, I do love you guys - my friends, the friends of friends who wander over, the amiable passerby, and though I consider you friends I don't want you to think I forgot you Amber & Raj (& Ravi if you ever actually read this, but I'm pretty sure that's against your religion or something). I love you all. I hope you know that. Thanks for being here, at the good ol' blog but also in the world. You make it a happier place. :)
