Valentine's day my arse....

First of all I'd like to say that Valentine's day is pathethic. In my opinion, of course. Any day that gets ''created'' for lovers throughout the world to show their feelings to one another is, yes you guessed it, a bloody joke.
I hate Valentine's day...And I'm most likely sure that the vast majority of men out there share my ''ridiculous'' emotion too. If we could ever get it right, we'd turn off the tv, the radio just so that our girlfriends, wives, lovers and whatnot don't know about it. Of course the big ''surprise'' is spoiled once you'd venture out in the city and you'd find yourselves immersed in tons of expensive, yet of low quality, cheesy products that are supposed to be bought....no, scratch that...that should be bought so that the bond between you and your partner be felt. See, this is what I don't get: you love your companion but you need a day picked out randomly by who-knows-who to show off....??? Explain me the cards , the flowers, those bloody heart-shaped awful balloons...What's that all about?
You see, I've never understood why folks need a day to tell them to show their love to whomever they reckon they're worth it. Why not do it a day before, a day after, any day of the year? No, it has to be this day, named after a saint that has got nothing to do with it, but it had to be called somewhat and, well, he's got a cute-sounding name...like a metrosexual ..:)) What happens inside our brains on this day could be equalized to going to battle : ''Oh, shit! It's Valentine's day! Honey, I'm going out to buy some bread, milk, eggs and flowers... But you've never bought me flowers!...Yeah, but today the calendar tells me otherwise!''.
Do you see where I'm getting at?
I'd call it robot-acting/thinking. We enjoy being human and having our own opinions, yet sometime we're just too dumb to be ourselves and just follow the flock of remote controlled trendies.
It's Valentine's day, thus you got to love your wife! Any other day you can kick the shit out of her, cause hey!, there are no hearts in every goddamn store that read ''be my valentine'' or some other shit.
Same stuff happens with Christmas. You know what they say, when holiday season's coming we're expected to be more humble, to help each other out more, to be better persons. What happened to the rest of the year? Oh, I get it, we're just taking a break from poking our eyes out or strangling each other. Picture this : it's 3 minutes before midnight on December 24th and you're trying to slit someone's throat; the knife goes under the skin but then bang! it's Christmas and you, as a good person and christian that you've become on this holly day , patch the cut with some scotch tape and resume watching tv, while asking the victim ''so, did you get me any present?''. Nice, innit? Wrong.
You know, they had a day in September in Rome called La Notte Bianca ( The White Night)( it doesn't happen anymore due to the recession, or so I've heard) when lots of restaurants and pubs would remain open all night long and folks would flood the streets and get wasted big time. But they would do it just on that night! Any other past-midnight was clear and quiet like a government session when asked about salaries and pensions. My question: couldn't they, the participants, do that more often?
And my final point is we need some sort of approval before we do and think things. If everybody else does it, then it's safe to get out your bunker and give your lovely chocolate bonbons. Your neighbour does it too.....



P.S. Yes, I know you're thinking I'm bitter cause I'm single...Truth is, I hated this bloody day even more when I had a girlfriend...At least I don't have to buy flowers and shit..What a pathethic world we're living in....

Welcome back, folks...

Yep, I'm back! Thought you had it with me, hadn't you? Well, the devil is hard to kill...
And now I'm back with a vengeance....No, wait, don't run, I ain't having a gun on me...:))
As some of you might know, this blog( well, actually, the ex version of it) was getting to be a big pain in the arse for some others.. Not that I'm not like that in real life, but at least strangers would expect less bullshitting from me than people that know me. I used to post links to music albums that I did not own the copyright for....you could guess what happened from that point on.
Thus, this new improved ( it's just a nice word, it doesn't mean anything) version of this blog comes back with no music links, no albums to be downloaded and no copyright infringements, just me, some rants, some music or film reviews and some of the stuff I'm writing, have written or will write. Ok, throw the rotten eggs at me already...!!!
That being said, I welcome everyone back( I'm not sure there were any , in the first place...:))) and let's get this going.

P.S. Anyone out there with a slight humour can be part of the writing team and that means you'd have to bring your own rants and ideas to the table....
