Love bus

Yesterday was Valentines day so love way in the air, and in the bus. I got on the bus a little later than usual because I was guest hosting a radio show on Red River Radio. (You should listen to Red River Radio if you don't. I'm always on it, and I'm hilarious) I stood in front of the MTS centre waiting for my bus. The only other people waiting for the bus were an older couple who were in the middle of a hard core mac sesh. (It was kind of gross) My bus finally came and of course the couple got on with me. I went to the back of the bus and put my head phones on.

As I listened to my music I looked around the bus. There were maybe only 10 or 12 other people on the bus, and they were all in couples. I was the only one on the bus who wasn't with a significant other,  and it was kind of awkward.

Every one gave me that look that said "Awwee poor guy, he's all alone" which made things more... well.. kind of awkward.

I'm not the kind of person that hates on Valentines day, I think it's actually a really nice day. Every where you go people are holding hands, women walk around with flowers in their arms, and men do every thing they can so that they stay out of the dog house. Its a lovely day. And I'm also not the kind of guy that complains about Valentines day because I'm single. I love being single.

The thing I hate about Valentines day is that look you get from couples that say "Awwweee poor guy he's single" Seriously? For 364 days I can walk around and do what ever I want, but this one day I'm suppose to walk with my head down because of how I choose to live. Plus I'm 19, I thought I was at that age where I'm suppose to go out and be single.

So instead of holding my head down like the rest of the couples on the bus wanted me to, I held my head high and I was proud that I was single. As I got off the bus I pulled my phone out and did the only logical thing a single 19 year old boy would do. I called a very good friend of mine named Rachel, and I invited her to my place to have our own Valentines date. I didn't have to buy her flowers, I didn't take her to dinner, we just "hung out" and it was awesome
