That's Entertainment : Valentine's Day


Wow!  That snuck up fast.  Valentine’s Day!  Watch out, Cupid’s about!

Well, I hope you’ve had a shot of insulin as I infuse the cockles of your heart with some delicious paeans of love from the world of pop.

And who can’t go past a good pop ballad?  Seriously, this is the stuff you belt out when you’re driving around a Westfield’s car park looking for an exit.  Or wail as you drown in tequila.  

I love ballads.  It gives me a chance to use the higher end of my voice box to mishit all those notes.  And not that I’m a passionate one, but once a year I get all warm and fuzzy and thank my lucky stars for what I’ve got…although, when I come to think about it…hmmm…

I’m also very sure you have your special song.  So if you do, give that a whirl.  

And two of my faves on this list is a mincing moustachioed lord of the gay and a sock puppet frog playing banjo.  But who cares.  They nail it perfectly.  It doesn’t matter who you love as long as you do.  And share your neenish tart with them or watch their favourite movies and pretend to really really like them (even if you don’t - you will eventually if you’re forced to watch them more than a few times).  Oh, and always leave the toilet seat down and be big enough to say sorry.  

Finally, if you want any more expert opinions, you can buy my new book What I Know About Love I Wrote On The Head of a Matchstick.  Yep, you suckers ain’t get any more help for free. 

So if you haven’t already done so, give a couple of these a whirl and go out and buy some chocolates, or flowers, or a card.  And if you’re unattached, but there is that special someone - and they don’t know it yet - let them know.  Hell, what’s the worst that can happen?  Rejection.  Ok…but other than that?  Sure, sure…a restraining order.  Remember: Life’s too short.  And if it doesn’t work out, at least you can scoff the box of chocolates and plunk the flowers in a vase to watch them slowly wilt and die, just like your broken heart.  It’s just a commercial gimmick anyways.  

So Happy Valentine’s Day!
