Valentines day
Hate it or love it here's some info on the origins of valentines day, before it became a commercial gold mine.
There are many possible creation legends when it comes to the day that we affectionately call St. Valentine's Day. According to The History Channel, the first of these legends suggests that St. Valentine was a third century Roman priest who lived during a time when Claudius II decided that single men made much stronger soldiers and no longer allowed marriage. Valentine, who did not agree with this, performed marriages for young lovers in secret, thus making him the saint of love.
Another possibility is that Valentine was killed for helping Christians escape from Roman prisons where the Christians were being beaten and tortured, allowing them to be reunited with their loved ones.
In another legend, St. Valentine was in prison where he fell in love with a prison guard's daughter with whom he wrote love notes that he signed 'From your Valentine.'
Well there you have it romantic myth or Hallmark cash cow? You decide.

don even joke around like that dude, i had a very close friend that died on that day and this picture does NOT bring feelings of love and joy...
That pic's freaking awesome. Great job. The other 2 commenter's suck.
The drawing is nice... but that is really sickly upsetting that it was put into a day of love when that was a day of terror and horrorrr
you obviously have a deranged mind, you are mentally sick!! would you put that up if your mom was in the twin towers on that day. time to grow up
w0w! Nice work ... people need to wake the fuck up and shut the fuck up.
This cuntry didnt care about anyone ( family or friends ) that worked there or might have been there that day, as they ( the govt ) let it happen and then took both buildings down ... killing more people than the jets that they flew into the towers in the first place.
exactly last poster - time to grow up ;]
Although this is a sick picture. Most of your comments are coming from a Cafe Mom who posted this link. http://www.cafemom.com/journals/read.php?post_id=708967
Sad. Very sad. I can not even believe someone would even joke like that! Do you even know what really went on that day!? You MUST be a child.
Hey asswipe 2 posters above me. Those comments were here already. wah wah wah! Are we a tattle tail now? Grow up and get a life. You know who I am.
Yeah and? LOL Blah blah... Get a fuckin life douch bag. What's with the finger on your picture? TRYING to look sexy? lol You're just trying to get a clique for yourself. Oh ahhhh hey look at me and this site. Did you get an award for it? Dumb ass You know who this is..... Popular? NOT!
This is Baz. I have to say that the commenter before me is really quite a coward. It IS easy to hide behind a website when you are anonymous isn't it? I LOVE you avatar bonkers. I'm going to emulate it myself. Look at it tomorrow. It will be up.
i don't know if i'm more offended by your completely tasteless sense of "humor" or your horrible artistic skills... they both suck. bad.
