Our Topic: What do you think of Valentine's Day?
Before I start off my response to this month's topic, I have
to make a few announcements. First off, THANKS DAVE
CARTER (inking) and GLOOMY (coloring) for the amazing cover!
I know everyone out there has to agree that this cover is quite
good. The next thing I wanted to say was that we have a new
addition to the Editorial team. Although he really wasn't supposed
to post an Editorial, I've decided to give HyperSonicSpeed
a place on our panel (at least for this time. :p). And finally,
this is now THE OFFICIAL RPG MAKER MAGAZINE endorsed by
ASCIIDave! How about that? The only thing is that we now have
to watch the content of this magazine a little more closely
now. No more "FUs" or "synonym for butt" here. See? It's happening
already! Anyway, on with my thoughts.
So, what does the Big Boss Man think about Valentine's Day?
Honestly, I don't have any personal stance on it either way. As
we all know, it was invented by Big Business to boost sales after
Christmas and before the next big holiday. But I digress, let me
move to the sentimental value of it.
From a romantic's standpoint, Valentine's Day is probably the most
perfect holiday in the world. There's candles, candy hearts, roses,
cards, you name it, all waiting to be presented to your sweetheart,
if you have one. Which brings me to a counterpoint of this day.
If you have no one to celebrate with, then Valentine's Day simply
blows. That wasn't too professional of me, but that's the idea in a
nutshell. It's a reminder of your social standing, and may bring your
spirits down a bit. Or you don't care. And not caring about it is
a good thing.
I just don't understand the need to buy so much stuff for
Valentine's. Don't buy a dozen red roses. And where did THAT come
from, anyway? What if you bought 11? Then it's not good enough?
Get the heck outta here. I'd buy a single rose, if anything.
Something you make yourself shows that you care more, imo.
So...that's all of my thoughts on this holiday. I hope
I killed some of your brain cells reading my random thoughts
on this subject. :D
