I can watch it over and over again, and I have multiple copies too. The soundtrack is the shiznit!<BR/><BR/>And I agree with you Rameer, no tomatoes being thrown here :) The best relationship I was in was one where my boyfriend did things for me simply because it was Tuesday. If I complained about a bad morning at work, he would tell me to take a long lunch to regroup and get myself together. When I would get back from my long lunch, there would be tulips (my favorite) waiting on my desk from him with a note that simply said "it's going to be okay." That is romance to me...and Valentine's Day was no where in site. Romance isn't just about flowers and candy, sometimes it's just about a few words spoken to calm your spirit. It's about listening and paying attention and making your partner feel loved on a regular basis.<BR/><BR/>So I agree, like I said in a previous comment - romance is the moments we create on any given day..not just Valentine's Day. Your opinion is no different than most people I know actually, and I find no problem with that. I'm just a sugary person in general, so I will always take advantage of a day where I can show my love appreciation :)Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-54308839763267693842009-02-13T11:04:00.000-05:002009-02-13T11:04:00.000-05:00P.S. - Love Jones is MY SH*T - literally my favori...P.S. - Love Jones is MY SH*T - literally my favorite romantic movie EVER.

OR Sweetest Day. Or damn near any "holidays", for that matter.<BR/><BR/>I have a philosophical view that I don't need any day to remind me to do or think about anything, nor do I need to do what the rest of the crowd is doing. I can think of ONE V-Day I celebrated outside of when I was a lil' kid (which I don't really count - you go to school and they give you V-Day candy...what kid turns down candy?). It was with an ex-girlfriend, and it really didn't amount to spit in my opinion. Manufacturing romance for a particular day cuz everyone else is doing it is wack to me.<BR/><BR/>Funny thing is, people who don't know me sometimes assume "I'd hate to be your girl or dating you". And my response is "ask any woman I've been with where I rate on the romance meter." And, inevitably, I'm always near the top in terms of romantic guys. That's cuz I do romantic, sweet things JUST BECAUSE. Any moron can take a cue from advertisements and everyone getting hyped...<BR/><BR/>Try breakfast in bed, roses, erotic massage, and a trip to a beautiful city on the spur of the moment on October 2nd. <BR/><BR/>I even taught my brother to do things just because when we were lil' ones. He was amazed at the reaction he got and the good rep he garnered...I told him a girl would appreciate it more to do it out of the blue, and not wait a year between occurrences than the morons who do nothing all year, but on that one day pop up with some funky old grocery store flowers. I even taught him to NEVER buy red roses - be original.<BR/><BR/>My personal favorite...peach roses. Kinda rare, and not every florist has 'em...but they're beautiful and original. i'd say 95% of all women I've ever given a peach rose to had never received one in their entire lives...<BR/><BR/>Besides, I went to Catholic school for 12 years. St. Valentine and the subsequent various Valentine's had nothing to do with romance or love. A few were martyrs. As is the case with most holidays, it got changed for a reason that has nothing to do with the original person or purpose, and no one really knows or cares to look up or check out the origin.<BR/><BR/>So, I don't begrudge anyone for doing their thing. I just don't fool with V-Day or most holidays. Days that are important to me are ones that have their own special meaning to me - people's birthdays, anniversaries of events shared between myself and others, etc. Yes, some of y'all may be like "it ain't that deep". So be it. <BR/><BR/>It's kind of why I tend to stand on an island with my beliefs...but I stick by 'em until given a good reason to change 'em.<BR/><BR/>You may commence to booing, tasing and throwing cyber tomatoes at me...<BR/><BR/>An I probably won't be on here too much today...in Buffalo dealing with the plane crash, so I'm gonna be MUCHO busy.<BR/><BR/>Happy Friday the 13th to all!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-60787923748897874982009-02-13T11:02:00.000-05:002009-02-13T11:02:00.000-05:00Thank you Black Man!

And it can symbolize renewal - which is the part I'm most grateful for.<BR/><BR/>And you're right, love isn't what makes the world go round, it's what makes life worth living.<BR/><BR/>Annamaria, you're right. The only thing wrong with Valentine's Day, in my opinion, is not that the day exists, but that it's commercialized as the ONLY day we should show others how we feel about them. So long as I continue to let the people that I love know how much they mean to me on a regular basis, I have no problem with a holiday designed to celebrate the love that already exists. It's just a shame that a lot of people don't share and spread love everday like you say...tomorrow isn't promised to any of us.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-7933014158005931132009-02-13T10:58:00.000-05:002009-02-13T10:58:00.000-05:00Hi Brooke,I had a good feeling that you would post...Hi Brooke,<BR/><BR/>I had a good feeling that you would post something interesting today to post for Valentine's Day.
