Why do people feel obliged to be happy on holidays? Valentine's day is a rather horrible holiday anyway, and when it rains all day, you're single, and broke, there is really not much to recommend it, but you aren't allowed, within the confines of polite society, to say "Fuck this day! I'm going to sulk and there's nothing you can do about it!"
The way I see it, any day that you feel good, and are in a celebratory mood should be a holiday, instead of having your happiness regulated by a calendar. Wouldn't it be great to just make a cake, put up streamers and give gifts on a completely random day? So far as I can tell, Valentine's day is just an excuse for people who have someone to feel that they are not a total failure, and everyone else can just suck it, which makes very little sense to me, unless you look at it from the standpoint of biology, rewarding those who are more likely to pass on their genes.
Anyway, enough of my rambling, and now for my Top Five "Nobody Loves You" songs:
- Telescope Eyes -Eisley
- Bones -The Killers
- Carve Your Heart Out Yourself -Dashboard Confessional
- So What -P!nk
- Everything'll be alright (Will's Lullaby) -Joshua Radin
