V-day
"You're just jealous" she said teasingly.
"Of the balloon giraffe! For God's sake, be realistic." I sarcastically dismissed the charge.
And walking home that night, alone, engulfed by a red sea of roses and balloons and my own generation of oversexed post-teens, I could not help thinking about what she said.
Jealous of what? Of their idiocy, of their blind imitation and lack of originality, of their characterless behaviors, of the way they adopted alien traditions that were totally pointless in our sexually frustrated society.
Jealous of what? Of the way they materialized love, and turned it into a commodity. Of their cheap gestures that stripped it from that element of the Extraordinary and made it just a common thing in their endless list of mediocrities.
Jealous of what? Of their synthesized feelings and mis-used words. Of their silly attitudes and fabricated confusion. Of their red roses and outfits, of their chocolate hearts, of their BALLOON GIRAFFES!!!!
For God's sake Lara, of course I was jealous.

Cool blog, this is my first time around here.
Yes I do despise the way holidays are becoming heavily commercialized; I have the same stigma with Halloween parties and birthdays, but I really think that it might be jealousy (at least in my case). I envy people who have yet become so cynical to be able to enjoy such mundane things.
