Happy Valentine's Day !! Ok, it's one of my most hated days because of all the commercialism associated to it. It's almost as bad as Christmas. But if guys wanna spend a boat load of money on their special someone, then so be it. I myself think it should be about the quality of time you spend with your mate on this day. Probably the reason why I'm still single. ;)

Actually I read up on good ol' St. Valentine and how the day came to be. Here's a link from the wiki:

Very interesting to say the least.

Complaint: I have a problem now with modern day culture and the 'fist pound' instead of a handshake. The person doing the 'fist pound' as his hello, should make it obviously clear from the beginning that this is what he is doing. Then If I offer a handshake at the same time, well it looks ridiculous. Now what really erks me, is that if the error is made by the recipient on the mix-up of hand gestures, then the offerer should stay on the original gesture made (the 'fist pound' or handshake) and the recipient would change his gesture. Sounds confusing I know but there's gotta be some sendse to it somehow.
