For twenty three years, I have wanted to escape this sappy little piece of fluff based on a Roman fertility cult that we call a holiday.
This year, I have finally succeeded.
In America, the whole thing is overdone, and love itself becomes a commodity to be packaged and sold. And Dubai has proven to be no escape--Valentine's Day is catching on big time (minus the idiotic little cupids). No, in Dubai, rich folks buy their girlfriends the newest Blackberry as a gift, and think nothing of it. Holy crap! I'd be happy with a box of chocolates.
Fortunately, neither of these things are going to happen to me this Valentine's Day because Yemen is one country that this humiliating debacle has yet to penetrate. I am free at last. Thank God!
Happy Valentine's Day! Now get lost.
