What I Love

I know yesterday that I spent a lot of time ranting about Valentine’s Day, and hating on the day in general, but despite what you may think based on that rant, I do love a lot of things.

I put this together to show off the things I DO love.

Music used in the video is Love Love Love (Love Love) by The Mountain Goats
On the real though, I hope you have a lovely day, regardless of who or what you love, and how you spend the day.

On Valentine’s Day:

According to history.com, the essential final word on everything history, Valentine’s day is in remembrance of St. Valentine (obviously). The reason, though, is that the Emperor Claudius II decided single men make better soldiers and banned marriage for young men, and then Valentine, the priest, thought this was stupid and was like, “uh no, I’m still going to perform marriages!” and then Claudius II had him killed. The day we celebrate is, supposedly, the anniversary of his death. Other theories involve the Catholic church putting the date in February to “"Christianize" the pagan celebration of Lupercalia” which is a fertility festival.

Okay.
