Yes folks Hell's Mark and Herkey's Chocolates favorite time of the year is here. Herby called V-day. Now I'm all for showing affections to the special somebody in your life but for that fact that you have to have a special day to do it is stupid. That's what Anniversaries are for anyways.
Walk into any store and you'll be bobarded with pictures of roses, candy, and of course plenty of jewelry. You won't be able to get food at any decent... erm i mean expensive restaurants. And the fast food places you'll here plenty of grousing and nagging that the cheapskate couldn't afford lobbster cuz the poor guy spent his last dimes on bling for the primadonna. Of course this brings up a perfect opportunity to insult one of my generation's stupidest trends... The Promise Ring. Now jewelry is not inherently evil. Though the idea of shiney rocks in shiney metal just doesn't seem very romantic if you ask me. But I concur sure its rare and there's nothing wrong about that. Commitment is great and that's what Wedding Rings and to a much lesser extent engagement rings are for.
What are promise ring's purpose? Well I guess its some sort of pre-engagement. Kinda as dumb to me as 18 year olds getting married. What in the world do they know of love? Its just a way to shame a guy into spending money that should be going to college (or... umm... car insurance) on a stupid ring that means diddily squat. I guess its just a primadonna contest to brag to her dateless (sometimes ugly) friends and rub it in their faces that just because they don't have boyfriends means they are of lesser importance than them.
But nobody that is engaged or married is off the hook in my book. Ha that rhymed. Being a dateless wonder is great on a time like this. Poor chumps having to spend money on crap that'll be dead or eaten within a week.
