Happy Black Tuesday, Everyone!

Well, I bet you're wondering: Why is this Tuesday black?

"I can't tell you, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
"Well, can you at least give me a hint?"
"You want a hint?"
"Yes, please."
"How long... can you tread water, ha ha ha ha ha ha." - Bill Cosby

Seriously, it is Valentine's Day (or for us R. C., Saint Valenine's Feast Day) and it wouldn't mater if it landed on a Sunday, for me it becomes Black *insert day*. I have never liked this quasi-holiday, as it always seemed like a day devoted to everyone with a girlfriend/lover/fiance/spouse/what-have-you to flaunt that fact before everyone who doesn't, e.g. me. A person can only take so much of that before the holiday associated with it becomes evil in their eyes. To all of you who have any of the above and plan on doing something fun/romantic/whatever today, fine good on you. The rest of us will be in the bars/where-ever-they-serve-cheap-drinks trying to ignore your very existence. Don't mind us, but don't bother us either!
Be well.
