Feeling a little lonely as of late? Are you dreading that upcoming world-wide holiday of mushiness—the one the romantics call Valentine’s Day?! Let me assure you that you are NOT the only one. Why does it seem like everyone but you is coupled up? Look at that guy over there (look immediately to your left) I bet he’s got a girlfriend (or a boyfriend—we don’t discriminate in Massachusetts. What about that girl sitting across from you? I bet she’s got a special someone too. For those of us lonely hearts out there we can choose to react one of two ways to this cruel turn of events. We can ball our fists a la John Cleese, (please tell me you know who that is) raise our gaze to the heavens and curse whoever it is up there that decides these things. Seriously, just try screaming every now and then—it’s quite fun. Secondly, you could always just go on a bender—provided you are of an appropriate age that is. Yet, how cliché of you to even think of something like that? Side note: please do NOT go on a bender. Alcohol should always be enjoyed responsibly. Now that we’ve cleared that up, on to more important matters—your love life. And it does matter. For this Valentine’s Day, even if you’re alone remember that life is still good. You know what? This is all just a load of crap. A great comedian once said “I have NO idea what the hell I’m saying. I just thought it would make me sound cool.” So, for those of you reading this, consider this my Will Ferrell moment. We’re all allowed at least one of those. Being alone kind of sucks doesn’t it? I mean what am I supposed to do with my life if I don’t have someone else to share it with? Yes, I could be doing work. Sure, I could play less Black Ops. Hell, I might even DO something with my life. But doesn’t that all seem to pale in comparison with having someone to send you text messages every thirty seconds?
