Happy Thursday

Today is Valentine's Day. I am not a fan of the holiday personally. After the binge on commercialism and sappy hearts that is Christmas and New Year's, Valentine's Day seems forced and unnecessary. Do I really need a day to tell those whom I love that I do? This day also produces another reaction without fail. It always calls for reflection. Today, 14 February 2008, I am sitting in an airport in Liverpool waiting for the morning bus to Lancaster. My body aches from the cold floor that was my bed and my stomach longs for a hot meal yet I am happier this year than I have been in a long time. Things in my life seem to be heading in a direction that makes sense and I do have someone to keep today from being "Single Awareness Day". Maybe its the sleep deprivation, or the constant distraction from the smell of a full English Breakfast, but I can't think of any great revelations that this year brings, and though pride cometh before the fall, I am going to pat myself on the back anyways...and go buy some beans on toast!*


(beans on toast is part of the full English breakfast which comprises of eggs, bacon, tomatoes, beans, mushrooms and toast)
