and yes I am taking applications for being my Valentine this year. I am feeling the love, and I want to make sure those in my heart are around and that they know just how much I care for them. Aside from the love of friends, I am looking for a new beau that I can spend V-day with and be all cuddled up and cutesy. I do not however promote or condone the commercialism of the holiday. Spending hundreds of dollars on gifts, flowers, chocolate, and dinner is utterly ridiculous, because a good partner would do that regularly and Valentines day should be more about spending quality time just the two of you. But then again, I'm not a materialistic type of chick, you can't buy my love or my time.
On a separate note, we also have black history month. Me being half black I feel that I have the right to say and I quote from my facebook status update "I feel like if you know the well known facts about black history don't try to act like you're smart when February rolls around like you put me up on something...if I learned it in 3rd grade...upgrade the wisdom and tell me something I couldn't find on a poster about black history...I love my heritage, and I respect it, but I refuse to disrespect it by faking knowledge just because of the date...." If you don't like it, I'm sorry you feel that way, but then again I don't care cause its my opinion, you don't have to like it. I love my black people, but too many times am I embarrassed, ashamed and apologizing for them. So how dare they act all high and mighty when February rolls around and try to spit some 3rd grade knowledge at me like I'm the moron. I love you black people, but we need to do better and expect better of ourselves.
