Help!

My friend needs your help:

Ramen ramen ramen...

So, starting yesterday i will have to live off of ramen until tuesday at midnight. This is not by choice really... it is because as usual i have failed to follow any sort of budget. I really try to plan out a budget in my head... then i see things and i think ehhh why not buy it? So, i do and then i wind up eating ramen for 3 days... why ramen you ask? well, its because i never go shopping for food and happen to own a lifetime supply of chicken flavored ramen. (A life time supply cost me only $5!!!) Think of me when you eat your tasty meals... i'll be dreaming my ramen into pizza, gyros, and steak.





My number one craving is an apple. Fresh fruit hmmm so tasty. I think wednesday i will actually go to the store and purchase items to be eaten at home and work. I can estimate that it would save lots of money... an exact number? who needs those.

Mythbuster.... Valentines Day was it created by Hallmark???

So, to those of you that are reading this on February 14th, 2006 i wish you a Happy Valentines Day. In 24 years i have only really celebrated one Valentines Day and i don't really consider myself to be that "into" the holiday. Sure the idea is great but i feel that love should be celebrated on a daily basis. I'm not going to go on and on about how i think Valentines Day sucks or anything but, i have heard people refer to it as a Hallmark Holiday. Meaning, it was inventing/created to sell more cards. This is a theory i am going to check into....

Personally i have found that the best place to find information is Wikipedia. You can type in your favorite TV show and it will have a history of it... go ahead type in Day's Of Our Lives, i dare you!

Here is the best reason why Valentines day is around... and on the 14th.

"The association of the middle of February with love and fertility dates to ancient times. In the calendar of Ancient Athens, the period between mid January and mid February was the month of Gamelion, which was dedicated to the sacred marriage of Zeus and Hera.

In Ancient Rome, the day of February 15 was Lupercalia, the festival of Lupercus, the god of fertility, who was represented as half-naked and dressed in goat skins. As part of the purification ritual, the priests of Lupercus would sacrifice goats to the god, and after drinking wine, they would run through the streets of Rome holding pieces of the goat skin above their heads, touching anyone they met. Young women especially would come forth voluntarily for the occasion, in the belief that being so touched would render them fruitful and bring easy childbirth."

I decided that was the better reason for Valentines day than the Catholic idea

"According to the Catholic Encyclopedia (1908), at least three different Saints Valentine, all of them martyrs and all quite obscure, are mentioned in the early martyrologies under the date of February 14:

• a priest in Rome who suffered martyrdom in the second half of the 3rd century and was buried on the Via Flaminia.
• a bishop of Interamna (modern Terni) also suffered martyrdom in the second half of the 3rd century and was also buried on the Via Flaminia, but in a different location than the priest.
• a martyr in North Africa, about whom little else is known.

The connection between St. Valentine and romantic love is not mentioned in any early histories and is regarded by secular historians as purely a matter of legend (see below). The feast of St. Valentine was first declared to be on February 14 by Pope Gelasius I in 496. There is a widespread legend that he created the day to counter the practice held on Lupercalia of young men and women pairing off as lovers by drawing their names out of an urn, but this practice is not attested in any sources from that era."

Pretty amusing stuff... i think still consider Valentines day as a rather fake holiday. I guess its a good excuse to dress up and make someone else feel special and, that really can't be that bad of an idea right?
