Valen-tine.

Today has been very pleasant. I am mildy surprised. The best thing is that here, we use dates a lot. I input today's date (2/14/05) like a hundred times a day. And, well, today, each time I type it in 050214 (yearmonthday format) I get a little pick-up. "oh, hey, today's valentine's day" Really, like every time. It's been nice.

Also a good way to feel good on valentine's day, is to send somebody a valentine, or some chocolates, or tell them you like them a lot. Or that it was them in the dream you had about drinking and tearing off each other's clothes. That'll make them smile. And that'll make you smile. It's a good idea.

Also a good idea is to take tonight off (if you're single) and just hang out, and then hit on other people who are single and hanging out (and cute, duh). That's what I'll be doing tonight I think. Just a "hey, how you doin?" could really give someone's night a little lift. And well maybe it'll get you their phone number too, peolpe are more friendly on valentine's day.

unless they're that bitter "I hate all men" type. stay away from them, really the best thing for you to do if you find yourself in a situation with that type, is to leave and find another bar with cuter patrons. or cuter waitresses. oh yeah, that's another thing. if there's a cute waitress out working on valentine's night that means she's just recently broken up with her boyfriend (because honestly, we all know cute girls who'd like to go out on valentine's don't have much trouble finding someone to ask them) anyway, recently broken up, but not devastated (or she wouldn't be working) so you can try and get their number too. That does not go for hot bartenders however. Ladies, be careful of overly-friendly servers. They're hoping to prey on young vulnerable or bitter females. if this happens to you, mace 'em.

ok, that's it for Tom's romantic valentine advice
I recommend you download a song about a guy who kills his ex's new boyfriend and then calls and tells her about it. (no really, that's what this song is about...I had no idea until started paying attention to the lyrics)
