Black and Red

Jocelyn pointed out how there are no celebrations for singles in the United States. We celebrate fertility (see Valentine's Day, Birthday, Mother's Day, etc). In Korea they have something called "Black Wednesday" where singles mourn single hood. It's suppose to counter Valentine's Day. Why the separate day? Can't singles just do all that stuff on Valentine's Day? I guess if we're biologically built to procreate we're suppose to show steps towards that. So if you're single, you've failed your biological purpose. Really, you just lose. Society doesn't celebrate losers. Maybe this lack of celebrating single hood is meant to inspire us all to pair off or face death. If you don't have kids there goes biological proof you existed in the world. Take people who have 18 kids. 18 chances to further extend their genetic legacy. Eventually their offspring will take over the world. Or maybe just maybe they're genetic soup will be so diluted they won't survive and nature will just pick them off. So having multiple children won't really guarantee survival down the road. Maybe single people have the right idea. Why share your life with someone and raise kids when there's no guarantee they'll make it? In conclusion, single people are the geniuses of our society and should be celebrated.

I was reading laurie's entry about having conversations with guys and I came up with a counter stance. Why shouldn't a gal talk and learn more about her guy buds? "Spicy pork turns my poo red". Yes, it was an honest and personal statement by a guy friend but it was just too much.
