Ah, yes I remember my elementary school years were everyone exchanged valentines with everyone. I didn't understand it then and it still doesn't make much sense now. I can understand the school system doesn't want any of the kids to feel left out, but if its just something for everyone to check the box on without any real passion behind it, than why bother at all?
I doubt that opinion is going to fly with either marketing or the school board, but if an 8 year old can publish his opinion, than I want to get on board that train too.
Valentine's Day in elementary school was the worst. Those lame boxes of 30 valentines that you had to give to everyone. The 'Simpsons' had it so right with 'I chew chew choose you' (and look there is a picture of a train).
Jr High and High School was worse though. You had to PAY to get your computer love matches or charm girls to get their 'hearts' or vice versa. What a nightmare.
At least the chocolate covered cherries are cheap cheap cheap (and look, there is a picture of a canary) the next day.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.
