negativity

    Hello one and all! Happy Valentines day well whats left of it. I hear the collective groans from the crowd. Geez, people lighten up. This is the perfect segway into this blog. Right down to business tonight...
    Okay, i am a simple kind of a guy. I enjoy the little things in life and as i get older i have noticed i take less and less for granted. People come and go in our lives, thats just the way it goes. They are brought into our life for a purpose weither it be a stranger at the store or a friend of five years. I find myself enjoying holidays more now for the time i spend with my family rather the gifts or the food. Not that those were the reasons i looked forward to holidays but you get the point. Time starts moving so fast at a point in life we just seemingly run out of time for the ones that truley matter the most. Friends turn into family then into strangers in the blink of an eye. Now i know Valentines day isnt a "real" holiday and i read online that its just a waste of money. Flowers die, candy is bad for you and we shouldnt need a "holiday" to tell or show our significant other how we appriciate them. Pretty much, the article was somebody pissing and moaning about it. Probably a person that was "burned" in a relationship and although i know it does leave scars that will never fully heal. Move the fuck on already!! Why the hell are people so negative? Do you seriously not realize its rather pathetic. Always complaining it gets old real fast. Do you really think the rest of us wanna hear it day in and day out? Life isnt always easy this is a fact that i know better than most. And there have been days i have questioned the very existance of the sun. But, i did what most do and i dealt with it. I tell my girlfriend ever day that i love her. I told her the day before valentines day i dont need a special day to let her know how i feel. In fact she probably is tired of me telling her all the time but, i know what its like to be single. Or as the "anti-love" people call it "left to die alone" I chuckle. Telling her everyday how i feel doesnt make me better than anybody i just never want her to go a day without knowing i love her. And i appriciate all that she is.
     Im not here bragging or anything like that i just find it annoying that people whine about being alone. There has to be a reason you are alone. Step outside of your bubble and be honest with yourself. Its probably rather easy. Maybe you dont treat people the way they deserve. Maybe you shouldnt be a player.( guys and girls apply to this) You probably shouldnt have taken advantage of that one person who actully cared. But, instead you played games. And look now Its valentines day and youre against it. So whats the difference between birthdays and valentines day? Its the same concept isnt it? You buy birthday cards, cake and ice cream. Balloons, streamers yada yada. Well eventully the balloons lose the air and get thrown away. Why do we spend money to celebrate a birthday? Valentines day is a day where we celebrate love and well if its the only day you let your significant other know you care then shame on you. So now people are against love? Only against it because they burned it and throw it away. Do i agree that its just a cooperations way to exploit people and make money? Yes, i do but, isnt that the way this world works? Its all about the dolla bill yall. Heres an example i use all the time. After 9/11 how many of you became "patriotic" and ran out and "bought flags to show support for America"? Or the support the Troops magnets that were on ever car it seemed. Well since when is it okay to exploit men and women dying for this country? Thats what it was/is. Those magnets and flags all should be free, instead they are lining somebodys pockets because "freedom dont come free".
     I didnt see anybody posting on facebook or twitter about that. Or bitching  and complaining about spending money on that. I really dont know what my point is on this blog. Maybe im just kind of ranting again. If your unhappy with your life change it, Do something about it. If you have burned a bridge you have nobody to blame but yourself. Right? Exactly. Its a "Hallmark Holiday" because you made it that way on yourself. Instead of being so caught up in yourself think of others for a change. I know that means being unselfish. A concept that some fail to do. Life is what we make of it. If you complain and play the poor me card people get tired of that hand. And we move on in our lives or" ditch you" but in reality youve done it to yourselfs.
    On a happy note NASCAR starts this saturday night. Kind of like a preseason race. Then next sunday is the 500!!!! This guy cant freakin wait! Im not doing fantasy NASCAR this year though. Im going to play fantasy Baseball instead. I probably wont do very good but, its fun and thats all that matters because if i do lose..I promise i wont piss and moan about how horrible my life is and carry on. I wont waste your time on that pity party. Theres plenty out there to read about if you want to waste your time on it :) Have a gr88t weekend everybody!!!
