Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is celebrated in many countries worldwide. The origins of Valentine's Day are not clear but many sources believe that it stems from the story of St Valentine, a Roman priest who was martyred on or around February 14 in the year 270 CE. Valentine’s Day has become increasingly popular in Australia over the years, particularly during the late 20th century, and it continues to be observed among many Australians today. Choosing a Card and Buying Flowers  Many people in countries such as Australia celebrate Valentine’s Day by giving flowers, chocolates, jewelry or other presents of all shapes and sizes to their loved ones or those they admire. This event falls on February 14 each year.

Do we get a funny one; do we get a serious one?  Do we get one of those musical cards, but what is her favorite song of the moment?  Flowers?   Flowers just make no sense to me.  They die in a few days.  What kind of sense does that make?  Besides, the vacuum is on its last legs.  Wouldn’t that make more sense?

Or jewelry as it usually is, but I can’t tell the difference between a good piece of jewelry and cubic zirconium.  Heck, for the price of a good diamond, we could get a new flat screen TV and spend hours watching Monday Night Football or even those silly romantic comedies my wife loves so much.  What’s wrong with that?

Since My Valentine Got A Computer

Since my Valentine got a computer

My love life has taken a hit.

Nothing I say is important

Unless it’s a byte or a bit.

Before she got her new laptop,

Everything was just fine;

Now she says we can’t talk

Unless we both go online.

"But honey," I said, "I’m attached to you;

Love is what I feel."

"That keyword isn’t relevant,"

She said, with eyes of steel.

She clicked the keyboard furiously;

The screen was all she could see,

And then to my horror and shame,

She started describing me:

"Your motherboard needs upgrading;

Your OS needs help, too.

And you definitely need a big heatsink

To cool your CPU."

"Don’t flame me, my sweet," I pleaded.

"Not on Valentine’s Day."

"Fix the bugs, and I’ll see," she said,

While looking at me with dismay.

"What ever you want, my darling;

Whatever you need; you call it.

I’ll upload or download anything,

And then I’ll go install it."

(Her hostile CD keeps replaying,

And though I don’t want to fight her,

Is this what I want for a Valentine?

I’ve been burned; can I rewrite her?)

"Are you all hard drive now," I asked

"Is there no software in you?

Don’t you remember the good times?

Let our memories see us through."

"LOL," she said to me, chuckling.

"You’re nothing but adware.

"I’ve got four gigs of memory;

I’ve got no problem there."

"Please, honey, we can save it," I said.

"Our love means more than that."

"That’s not in my cache; we’re going to crash,"

She said, as she turned me down flat.

(This woman has really changed;

Do I really want to chase her?

More and more I’m thinking

It might be nice to erase her.)

"Aw, honey, don’t talk like that," I said.

"Can’t we just plug and play?

I hereby accept default,

And I’m yours, my love, come what may.

My goal is to make you happy;

I want to be your portal,

But your sudden, distant coldness

Would test the strongest mortal.

If we need a brand new interface,

So we can FTP,

I’m your go along, get along guy,

And I want you to stay with me."

"If you want to get into my favorites," she said,

And you want to get past my encryption,

If you want to get through my firewall,

Here is my only prescription."

"First, put up your own Web site,

And e-mail me when it’s done.

I’ll check your page rank with Google,

And tell you if you’re the one."

My life has become a real trial,

Since my Valentine got a computer.

If I want her to care about me again,

I guess I’ll have to reboot her.

HAPPY VALENTIME DAY

so it's valentine day

so the calender did say

you pick up roses

on your way

and a big chocolate heart

to help plan your night

not a bad way to start

you even lit the fire light

getting the mood ready

along with soft music

cause it's valentine day

so the calender did say

so you put on your red tie

she wears her red dress

you both dance real close

not wanting the night to die

cause it's valentine day

so the calender did say

as you both go upstairs

following a pool of roses

you both go upstairs

without a care

letting your love

take it from here

so it's must be

valentine day

so the calender did say

so happy valentine day
