i'm calling you out february

the whole month of february is a fraud.

it's fitting that i write this on valentine's day... which is a fraudulent holiday. valentine's day is a good excuse for people in relationships to buy each other stuff and treat each other real nice. but any good couple already does this sorta nice stuff on a regular basis. they don't need a special day cuz what they have is special.

valentine's day is for the insecure. if you're not confident in your relationship, then go ahead and go all out on this one specific day. but any good boyfriend or girlfriend should have the bases covered on all days.

then i find out while listening to the local classic rock radio station this morning that today is also, 'national condom day.' i guess that's clever since it's also valentine's day and the assumption is a lot of people will be having sex.

1- a lot of people should be having sex everyday. we're humans with sexual desires and needs. i don't think a specific day should increase the amount of sex we have. if so, that says something about the amount of sex we're having every other day. like we need to be pushed by a holiday to make the sparks fly.

2- everyday should be condom day. if that's where you're at in your relationship, using protection and whatnot, then this should definitely not demand a specific special day to inspire you to rock a condom.

if there's gonna be a holiday for condom wearing, it should be a non-condom wearing day (unethical, i know... i'm just sayin). that'd be some shit dudes around the world would celebrate.

but enough about february 14th.

february begins with groundhog's day which is another bunch of bs. we've come so far in advances in science... we should no longer be relying on the shadow of a groundhog to tell us what the weather's gonna be like. we've evolved past silly stuff like this. get rid of it, don't need it. it's a fraud.

february is also black history month. but why should black history be segregated to one month? and not only is it a short month, but it's usually a miserable month weather wise. it's the month when everyone's tired of winter and they just want the whole month to end already.

black history should be an all year thing. we should be ashamed that we even need a specific month to put a spotlight on it. then what does that say about how we view black history those other 11 months of the year?

and february's short. it's 28 days (sometimes 29). it can't even hit the minimum 30 days every other month is able to make. and every leap year it goes crazy and demands an extra day. fuck you february. you're lazy and unstable. be like the rest of the months... 30 or 31 days.
