This is not a song about love, it’s a song about addiction

As I begin to write this, it is 11:15PM. I do not know if I will finish this update tonight. There are a number of factors that could cause me to become side tracked and just leave this thing to wither and die. I hope to avoid these factors. I promised Mike — who, coincidentally, got the 4000th hit and has a beautiful wife — that I would update tonight and damned if I’m going to let Mike down.

It is now 11:18PM. This disappoints me as I was hoping to say “There are X minutes left in Valentine’s Day” but now I don’t feel like doing the math. In any case, it’s the mantra of the lonely to chant “Valentine’s Day is just another normal day” at the top of their lungs, but I wonder how many actually believe it. My Valentine’s Day again found me walking home in the rain, which is rather poetic, in a way. Of course, in another, more accurate, way, it’s really god damned annoying.

It is now 11:24PM. I had to break that paragraph because I didn’t want this to turn into a sappy update just because it’s some stupid day. I could go on and on about the past loves, the right ones and the wrong ones, but I’m not going to. I could write about the one you didn’t love then but love now. I could write about the girl you stupidly left behind and how you’ve convinced yourself that she was the one — the right one. You sat with her on the grass at night and loved her and I didn’t even say goodbye when she left and I’m not going to write about that.

It is now 11:28PM and I have no idea where this is going. I went it to do my volunteer job at the local Elementary School today and some kids gave me cards and candy. That was pretty cool and it made me happy. Sure, they’re just kids but at least kids aren’t LYING BASTARDS like the entire world. Sorry, got angsty there for a minute. Anyway, the kids laugh at all my jokes which is pretty good because I make a lot of lame jokes in real life(Probably on here too; I don’t know). But then I had to walk home in the rain and the early snow and I had to make death-defying leaps just to avoid the puddles.

It is now 11:34PM and this gimmick can’t really go on much longer. This update has gone nowhere. I think I’m just going to post it and then come back tomorrow with a “Month in Quotes” dealie. Happy Valentine’s Day. Here is some Red Text to put you in a festive mood.

It’s about love’s affliction.
