Happy Feb. 14th

So I figure I should post a non-fluffy piece to equalize with the Captain's earlier post and keep the Universe in balance. I don't want to come off as jaded or sounding pathetic or anything, so we'll stick to simple:

First and foremost, I'd like to wish my parents a happy 36th anniversary today! Love you guys!

Nothing else to report, certainly no VD celebrations for yours truly. I think its an insipid overcommercialized holiday (and I use the term "holiday" loosely) that guilts people into shows of affection, gifts, etc. for loved ones. In my opinion, if you only do that when Hallmark tells you to, get your friggin' head examined or take a good look at your relationship. You should thank God every single day for having someone special in your life and cherish the time you have together, not just when the chocolate heart and flower people remind you. There's a hint for you younger bucks out there: surprise her any of the other 362 days a year (I also subtract for birthday and the anniversary).

So what did the Sarge do today in the spirit of things? I drew a heart. While marking up a target plate at work. And then blasted it to bits. Hehe, and they say romance is dead...

Kidding aside, I hope all of you who did choose to celebrate today had a wonderful evening.
