valentine's day
i reckon i have told everyone within a metre of my vicinity that i dont believe in Valentine's day...
doesa nyone know that Valentine's day was a creation of an American card company in the 1920's? indeed there was a figure known as St Valentine, however, it was celebrated very much differently from what it is today...
the notion of romantic love in Western societies didnt appear until Hollywood started churning out it's endless movies through its movie making treadmill... hence, the idea of a romantic love didnt appear until Tinsletown... er... romanticised it.
true enough the Bard himself, churned timeless romance tales in his plays and sonnets... however, let it be known to all that he was still pretty much frowned upon during his 'heyday'... and wasnt as succcessful as we all like to think ...
lustful, filthy, erotic, errogenous sex wasnt invented by the West, i doubt they had experienced such a thing at that point of time in history... well especially when the Church reigned supreme in the whole of Europe... and to a certain extent early America... but not to ignore the fact that Muslim countries are exactly that nowadys....
do you know that they have 'special' garments for sex? and the attitude towards sex was one of disgust? in other words you are not supposed to enjoy it... because the Lord never enjoyed it...
how sad...
love between husband and wife wasnt encouraged...
during the time of King Arthur... not the legend but the historical figure... knights are supposed to take on a princess or noble lady in which they would love... one of whom they would die or lie ... ok sorry, transgressing into Adam's 'everything i do...' in any case, their very own wives were 'pushed aside' because they have committed the act and hence not as pure as the love...
how audacious is that?
yes their forays into sex is a recent accident of civilisation my dear friends and foes...
aha...
on the other hand.. the east...
i dont need to tell you people about Karma Sutra...
need not tell you about Layla and Majnun...
need not tell you about the smile of the princess that shattered the Great Wall...
and the notion in Islamic tradition that loving your partner is a prerequisite towards attaining a ticket to heaven...
we shall not dwell into Africa cos... they have always been cool about these kinds of thing..
so boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen... dont be blinded by the valentine day's commercialism... theres is nothing in it, let alone a cosmic significance, plus there is gross miscalculation somewhere (because of the whims and fancies of the Roman Rulers, 14th of Feb wasnt always on 14th of Feb)... yes good that we celebrate a day of love... but cant we do that every day? if anyone wants that day to be beneficial... at least make it a public holiday...
with that said, (not in order of merit, soundtrack playing.. where is the love - black eye peas) to my gorgeous girl (she gets first priority though, sorry guys!!)... i love you to bits...
to my friends.... you know who you are! yes the ones who are wasting time to read this blog... i love you to pieces too... very much indeed...
to my mama (this i have to mention especially) ... i love you dearly...
to my papa (also, especially) ... i love so much...
to my siblings... with special mention... my baby sister... Mega... love you and missing you...
love, love, love...
ok cheers everyone!!!!
o yeah... just for the record... Felicia is a happy girl now...
