Fuck You In Particular, Valentines Day.
Its a Sunday night bar pushing closing time, a bitter reminder of the inevitability of the blizzard outside. Spilled throughout the joint is a wide spectrum of Valentines playing out. A dry-humping couple; a young man with a rose in his breast pocket, frown on his face; singles, floating in the sea of the dance floor grab hold to each other like life preservers.

Your Ultimate Anti Valentines Track list
Valentine’s Day is the Day for lovers. The odds are that if you made your way to this article, you yourself may indeed be single, while on a holiday meant for non-single folks. I’m here to tell you that being a single person on Valentine’s Day is not necessarily a bad thing. You may not get those sweet nothings on a seemingly otherwise unimportant day, but you for sure will not be burdened by the reasons your relationship came to an end! That is what you call freedom my dear. Nevertheless, we still tend to beat ourselves up about it any way. I’m guilty at times myself. So here is a specially curated track list designed to guide your emotions during this solidarity. Here’s to all the ups and downs, and to better days ahead.

Anti-Valentine's Day OST
Is it sad that when I saw this challenge pop up, I already had a playlist ready to go to be posted? Valentine’s Day is a day I’ve never really cared about. Not in an edgy, anti-consumerism way, but simply just because it’s a day that doesn’t really resonate with me. It’s definitely one of those Marmite types of days - you either love it and spend the day romantically with your partner, or you hate it and spend the day wallowing in self-pity and anguish like myself.

Never Remember the 14th of....February
The Romans had it with the annual festival Lupercalia. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lupercalia) A multi day gathering to ward off evil; your ex, and rain in good health and fertilaity; a DM full of organic produce that gives you all the dopamine one could ask for in a single day.

BAH-LOVE-DAY!
Wow! this is a tough one, this Valentine's Day 2021, I'm 52 years old and always had a valentine, well maybe missed a few years in between 2 failed marriages, but in between and in my younger days I had a collection of boyfriends, and of course lots of heartaches. Nowadays, with online dating I find it challenging and nauseating! I can't drink enough wine to face the technology of trying to find love. I get a lot of messages, some are actually enticing but then poof! where did he go? Just writing that I figured out the first song for my anti-valentine's day playlist....ready? are you still there?, the thrill is gone by B.B.King. You know what I'm writing about, once the high, the euphoria, the bliss of love hits reality that is when the thrill starts to diminish, sometimes slowly and painfully or immediatley like a flash in the pan.

"Moving on"
I'm recently single, So I was already hitting the break up songs when I found this contest and my inner monologue was like "ummmmmm YAS Queen"!!! I like to think that I have several different sides to myself (as do most Queens) so here's a sample of what them sides be jamming to these days…

Blue Valentine
In time with my vintage baby blue kitchen timer, I vigorously scrub the dye from the spaces and lines that make up my fingerprints. The plastic shower cap traps all of the moisture while my locks steep. The heat and humidity radiating is like a temperate rainforest, all of it trapped inside my terrarium crown. Unsure of what this “Extreme Teal” will transform my mixture of sand and saffron strands into, I daydream of tides and sea foam.
