Hui: ...14th.
At least I got one multiple right. My memory is not the best but I remotely remember reading about some Valentine's Day tragedy in some kids' nerd magazine (Smarties?? Smarty's?? I have no idea what the damn thing was called but this kept popping into my mind. There's always a cartoon boy wearing thick black rimmed glasses hanging out with his friends though...or is that Doremon? Told ya about my memory.). ANYWAY back to my story, the tragedy was about a school fire that took place on Valentine's Day during a school dance, which resulted in a lot of students burning to death. So that has always been my knowledge of the Valentine's Day tragedy. Until I decided to google "Valentine's Day massacre" and found out that the official Saint Valentine's Day massacre was not a tragic school dance completed with burning children but an Italian gang shoot-out that resulted in 7 deaths instead. So where and why the heck did I have that memory in my mind?! I tried to google for stories about the school fire but there was nothing. Perhaps I was using the wrong keywords, but my search history now has "school fire valentine's day", "valentine's day massacre school", "school dance fire", and a few other similar variations. I might have accidentally flagged myself as a potential sadistic arsonist in my attempt to validate my twisted childhood memory.
By the way, I started on this post wanting to complain about how ridiculously expensive flowers are because I came across a website selling flowers and a 35% impressive looking bouquet of roses will set you back approximately $200. And this is coming from someone who has low standards on bouquet-impressiveness. Wtf I know flowers are not cheap but I never knew they were so exorbitantly priced! As much as I would like to give in to the romanticized notion that flowers are the "most beautiful waste of money"... I just can't. Spending money on a bunch of clipped off reproductive parts of plants is something I will continually struggle to come to terms with because it is such a ridiculous waste of money but ERMAGERD Y SO PRETTY LOOKING. The bulk of my tumblr posts are probably ranked like this: Flowers, cats, band boys (can a 51 year old Anthony Kiedis be called a band boy still?), funny (to me) stuff and others.
Example:
TOO. MUCH. LOLS.
Since I mentioned Anthony Kiedis earlier, how awesome was RHCP's performance at the Superbowl halftime!? They have played live (awesomely) countless times before so I don't think a little air guitar/bass is going to hurt anyone. Plus, Give It Away/Storm In A Teacup/Suck My Kiss-esq funky RHCP songs puts you in the best of moods.
Greedy little people in a sea of distress
Keep your more to receive your less
Unimpressed by material excess
Love is free love me say hell yes
Is there a better combination of unparalleled bass slapping/Will Ferrell drummer/sexy lead singer/legendary guitarists (the eternal debate of Frusciante vs Klinghoffer...why not both?)? I think not.
Okay this random ass post is getting lengthy. It's been awhile since I typed so uninhibitedly, but on a less severe scale. It probably doesn't make sense but this feels...nice.
P.S/ I haven't eaten ba kwa yet this CNY.
Okay random ending now bye!
