Holidays

Let me start by saying there is no point to this post. To be honest i`ve been thinking about what i wanted to blog all day, and i`ve decided just now that i will be rambling about February 14th. Other than it being my Commanding Officer`s birthday (hope the sir doesn't see that) I had not thought of anything else when i woke up this morning. I proceeded to call it  "half way through February day". I myself am not a bitter person. Lately holidays just haven't seemed more pointless to me than ever before. I realized this over the past Christmas, a holiday that i used to care about at least a little. I`m not sure if it`s just me but it always feels like a speed bump like: hey let me drop everything for a day or two and focus on this for a second before i get back to what really matters(that sounded really bitter). And not to mention the consumerism aspect. Why does everyone feel so obligated to buy someone shit that they would have bought already if they needed it? Maybe that`s what being selfish means, though.
