FEAR in February

‘Cupid’ - Wikipedia defines that in Roman mythology he is the God of erotic love (come on now, keep it clean) and beauty…………. (Oh, sorry, got distracted by my handsome reflection in the monitor). He is frequently shown shooting his bow to inspire romantic love, often as an icon of Valentine’s Day. Now that we have the politically correct statement of bull honky presented, I offer you this to ponder over.

Ry defines ‘Cupid’ that in the American present, he is the icon of recession and economic struggles. I mean think about it. Each February he promotes a purchasing frenzy in the attempt to attain that one special gift showing love and devotion through fear. YES FEAR… can any of you honestly say that happening upon a little person clad in Paper Mache wings and pointing a bow/arrow at you wouldn’t make you need the same brand of diaper that he is sporting?

Ok, Ok… cynical blogging aside… We could all use more days like February 14th where we just let those around us know how much we care. And tell you what; having such a handsome and charismatic boy as I do I wasn’t one bit surprised that his Valentine Bag was jam packed with “Will you Be Mine’s?” and Conversation Hearts. Being the 5 year old boy that he is (still holding on the absolute truth that girls have cooties) he could have cared less about the handmade Valentine from Isabella …. OOOOOooooOO H. (tell you what, when that day does come and Xaine no longer feels girls have cooties I’m sure he will be ever so happy silently making honey at a secluded Monastery)

Here's wishing you all the greatest of love…. And if you see Cupid… RUUUUUUUnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!
