It could be worse, it could be valentines,oh wait

Good day to all. Not much going on. Honestly, Valentine’s is not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Honestly, I had forgotten until reminded by someone special. I’ve already been wished a happy val’s day by a couple of speical people in my life. My mother suprised me by giving me a gift certificate the one of the video rental places round here. It wasn’t much, but I know it what she could afford and it’s the thought that counts. I’m tired…I’d like to sleep some more. But too untrusting to fall asleep round here even though I see many people do so. Ah well, I’ll catch up on my sleep this weekend. Hmm…I wish I had more to talk about but I can’t really think of much. Hmm…how bout this one..on this day that has pretty much nothing to do with St. Valentine and everything to do with mass marketing of stuff that people feel that should buy just today to show their love. *laughs* Okay, that was cynical, but it’s true. Why do people need this day to go around being loving with that special better half. Why can’t they do that every day? Life is a wonderful thing. Honestly, sometimes I’m hard pressed to say that, but it is. I enjoy many things out of life. I look about me, I smile at the sun shining down. At the colors of the sky and the clouds. The natural world around me. The lights of the city after dark. The people going around their daily lives. These are all everyday natural things. But many times we miss them in our day to day lives. Life is wonderful. Touch those close to you, reach out to those that could be, and love those that truly are. With that, I do believe I’ll end this entry. Take care and happy valentines day to all.

So, it would seem that instant messenger has died here on campus. Apparently, the number of users was causing severe problems with the server and they shut off access for the weekend, until they can reinstall some thing or another. In any case, if you don’t see me, it’s because they’re still doing repairs. Word has it that they should be done by late tomorrow. *crossing my fingers*

In the mean time, I miss you already.. and of course, Happy Valentine’s day. There was a red ribbon. *grin* I’ll hopefully talk to you very soon. IF

“I see trees of green, red roses too….” Sorry. But part of this entry screamed Satchmo (L. Armstrong). I mean that as a compliment. And I see your point about the mass marketing and the falseness of having one day to treat your love in a special way. But believe it or not, some can’t even live up to it on that one day, so…
