Hell yes February!

Oh crap it's February? I think not, ladies. Nevermind that January is finally over and that spring is just around the corner. February is the month of groundhogs, the month of superbowls, the month of hot Olympic athletes, and the month of Singletons. That's right, Single's Awareness Day (if you didn't know you're single, you do now). If you're new with us at WWBD? you should know one thing. We do not celebrate Valentine's day, because we do not believe in Valentine's day. We do not need dinner plans. We do not need red fuzzy teddy bears that will gather dust. We do not need overpriced red roses that will die. We do not need candy that will go straight to our hips. We don't need anything because Valentine's day is not a holiday. (Please refer to previous arguments supporting this simple fact).

Please understand that we are not bitter Singletons. We have simply joined/started the revolution that is SAD and this belief has spanned many a men and many relationships. It's liberating to be a nonbeliever! It's not that we don't believe in love, we just don't believe you need a declared "holiday" to show love. It's not that we don't believe in romance, we just don't believe romance is defined by tacky gifts of the pink and red assortment. It's not that we don't believe in celebrations, hell yes we believe in celebration. Lucky for us, SAD falls on a Sunday of a 3-day weekend. While all those smug marrieds are out with the usual holiday rituals (What is so "romantic" about going out to dinner?) we will be out at the bar. Seriously, put on your dancing shoes because the clubs should be crawling with singles ready to mingle! Can you say snogfest?! It's a great time to be a Singleton!

So jam out with that playlist, join the cause and celebrate Single's Awareness Day (only let's learn from my mistakes last year).

I agree with all of the above. Except Monday isn't a holiday over here so I'll be doing all my drinking and dancing on Saturday.

Suggestions for SAD Playlist Volume II:

Love Song For No One - John Mayer
I'm Yours - Jason Mraz
and pretty much anything by Matchbox 20.

Hope this helps!
