I’m not huge on the flowers, the diamonds, the candlelight dinners, and whatever other rituals the day may stand for. But then how many guys really are? i might be crazy, but Romance should be fun for both I think. And if it’s work, well, then it’s .. work. No one likes work. Single, dating, married, whatever, Just enjoy the day.

Me? Well I’ve got an exam tomorrow at 9am, and because it’s downtown that means I’ll be waking up at 6 – the crappy timing of life is gonna make it hard to take my own advice.

Anyways, there’s a song I just wanted to share. The jazz song ‘My Funny Valentine’ has been covered by a few people over the years. The first time I heard it was in the show ‘Cowboy Bebop’ (man I loved that series). I’m not really a big jazz head or anything, but since then I’ve heard the much longer and more complex version by Miles Davis, but my absolute favorite version is a short and sweet vocal version by Chet Baker.

I don’t really have or listen to much jazz, but this is one of my favorite songs ever. He exudes a certain special kind of humanity that’s not just simply poignant to me, It’s the kind of something I’ve honestly been jealous of. I think it’d be pretty awesome to feel that way about someone – so enjoy the day if you do.
