Cupid is a slick little SOB. And, honestly, I never really trusted the little guy. (Cupid is a he, right? Isn't he like the son of Mars or something?)
Sometimes the little asshole will shoot you with that arrow of his when you least expect it. ---Like he did to yours truly a few years back. And sometimes he will just do shit to be funny (Think Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupree, J Lo and Ben Affleck, or Halle Berry and whoever.)
But you really have to wonder about a guy who wastes his time shooting people like Newt Gingrich and Elizabeth Taylor over and over again with that damn arrow of his, yet he still can't find the time to shoot the Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland, the Sunnis and Shiites in Iraq, or the Jews and Palestinians, just once.
And now we have an entire day dedicated to this little asshole. --Like I need a day to be reminded that I have to bring Mrs Field flowers, or that I have to take her to a really nice restaurant every now and then-- Ladies , if your man only does nice things for you on Valentine's Day you might have a problem. Valentine's Day is great if you are a florist or a chocolate maker, but for all of us left vulnerable and exposed to that damn arrow; it's anything but nice. (Hell, here in Philly we literally have a love train for folks.) Now before you go ripping me for being all negative, I have some good things to say about Cupid as well: His arrow seemed to have been right on the mark with folks like Michelle and Barack, Will and Jada, and the Augers of Louisiana. So the little sucker doesn't always miss. Sometimes he shoots straight for the heart and hits his mark. Still, you have to wonder why he doesn't do that all the time. If he did, I wouldn't have a problem giving him a day, a year, or whatever the hell he wanted.
So, for now, I am officially not feeling Valentine's Day. But I am going to wish you all a happy one. Maybe you can put it to better use than I can.
OK, I gotta go. I am still checking with florist online who can deliver by tomorrow. :(

Field,
I bet most people have heard of a story like the Augers. That's what you call true love. One can't live without the other.
I was very encouraged to find this site. I wanted to thank you for this special read. I definitely savored every little bit of it and I have you bookmarked to check out new stuff you post.
Happy Valentine's Day to you and the Mrs. Mr. Moon and I have been dealing with that "little sucker" for 42 yrs.. You're right...sometimes he does hit the mark! :-)
I'm cool with cupid now but the little asshole made me do some embarrasing shit back in college.
@PilotX...LOL...I bet a number of us can attest to that as well. But he eventually comes through!!

42 years? Wow! Congrats Carolyn. You should give folks some pointers.
Wesley, you are right, there are quite a few stories like that out there. I think I had a couple of FNOTD a few months ago who were like that.
I am not sure if it was the Fishers, but I think they have the Augurs beat:

Field,
Yes, Cupid is the son of Mars (Ares) and Venus (Aphrodite). The names in parentheses are the Roman deities' Greek counterparts. Happy Valentine's day to you and Mrs. Field.

You better have your own $$, cause that's the only way you're geting any flowers.

Thats not correct. AB is sending her twolips to put on her organ. Or was it rose on her piano?

Cool and Mold is the son of Uranus. Happy Heart Day.
I doubt Mrs. Field gives a hoot whether or not you feel Valentines Day, as long as you remember she feels it. ;)
"You better have your own $$, cause that's the only way you're geting any flowers."
That's not true. As a bm I would readily send Maria flowers and candy. She deserves it just like anybody else.
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY, MARIA!
and don't let some of these mean-spirited ghetto fools bother you. They are asshole ignoramuses.
The Augers story represent what two human being can be in love, marriage and life. But these days, a commitment to one another is scarce. It is common that most marriages end in divorce in America.
Cupid has nothing to do with it. People just don't know how to be a true partner to another human being in a relationship.
Happy Valentines Day to you and Mrs. Field.
I'm glad I got the right woman, she hates Valentine's Day as much as I do. I always felt it was much better for people to pick their own special days so it was personal. Two grouchy Smurfs, gotta love it.

Don't be too hard on Cupid, field...he's got bad eyesight. It takes him a while to get it right.
Happy V.D., oops, I mean Happy Valentine's Day.
Damn, using initials can be as troublesome as forgetting your significant other on this day.
"Spartacus, you were supposed to burn those! Damn."
Classic!
Happy V-Day to all, and to all a good day.
Thanks Maria, I found a florist.
I think.
*keeping fingers crossed*
AB, I will try not to be so jaded.
Tell you what; just for today I will like the little guy,(Cupid)if you promise to like his O- ness.
Deal? :)
"Happy V.D., oops, I mean Happy Valentine's Day."
Zing, you are a mess.
hope you are feeling better today, field.

President Barack Obama, less than two months after signing tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans into law, is proposing a budget to congress that attacks programs that assist the working poor, help the needy heat their homes, expand access to graduate-level education and undermine that type of community-based organizations that gave the president his start in Chicago. Obama’s new budget puts forward a plan to achieve $1.1 trillion in deficit reductions over the next decade, according to an administration official who spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity in advance of the formal release of the budget...

Come on Field you can do better than this! Love is what it is and in our society romantic love is too romanticized and too often it takes precedence over common sense and committment. Thus the divorce rate.
While love is a good thing and cupid --which represents primarily romantic love-- is nice, what's needed to fix the situations you alluded to are agape love. But failing that a little justice would go a long way toward freeing the Palestinians and solving the problem of Great Britian's colonial hold on Northern Ireland.
A friend of mine keeps trying to tell me that us black folks want to be loved and I keep telling her that I think we think that love is good, but failing that if we had justice we would do just fine.
It is Christians and other religious adherents which are required to, love their neighbor as themselves.
After all you can't make anyone love you, but you can request that they treat you equally and fairly.
And one does not have to be loving to be just.
In other words, if you just treat us right and treat us like you do other folks and evaluate us like you do others and consider our qualifications like you do others then we will be just fine.
Wish you and your wife a happy Valentine Field!
Also wish, AB, LAA, Focused Purpose, Maria,Jody my man LAC and my man PilotX and Steve, Mold a good Valentines Day as well.
And I hope the anons, the haters, the conscending and the bigoted find some joy on this day as well

May peace, love and lots and lots of great sex be with you today (and always) !!! ;P Because remember, it's actually sex that makes the world go round, not love!
Happy Valentine's Day all.

Gladly be called a lunatic judge Dredd for standing up for those who can't stand for themselves and for advocating freedom justice prosperity and equality for those who don't have it.
You on the other hand are the enemy of the poor the oppressed and the exploited and a supporter of all things backward.
There is another saying that applies to your attempt to smear me and that is:
Evil never rests!
Have a happy Valentines day my friend

Your right. Evil never rests.
Freedom of opportunity exists equally for all mi amigo. However opportunity does not guarantee results without effort. Prosperity is not a guarantee and comes from the use of the readily availible freedoms and sweat from your brow.
The enemy of the poor and oppressed is people like you. You should be preaching that a man can feed his own family from his own efforts, rather then relying on your ungodly redistribution scheme. For only someone evil, backwards and communist would want people NOT to know how to create and flourish from their own efforts with your misdirection of jealousy and hate.
The Modern Day Mell Story.
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be WARM AND WELL-FED while others are COLD AND STARVING. CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and
ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.
America is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, and everybody cries when they sing, ‘It’s Not Easy Being Green.’
Jesse Jackson and Barack Obama stage a demonstration in front of the ant’s house where the news stations film the group singing, ‘We shall overcome”.
Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer & Harry Reid exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.
Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity and Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer! The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government.
Hillary Clinton gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper in a defamation suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a panel of federal judges that Bill Clinton appointed from a list of single-parent welfare recipients.
The ant loses the case.
The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ant’s food while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant’s old house, crumbles around him because he doesn’t maintain it.
The ant has disappeared in the snow.
The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident; and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the once peaceful neighborhood.

JudgeDredge, Thanks for putting that bs-ing Rev mell in his place. He is off the charts. Must be from too much crack.
Desertflower, "May peace, love and lots and lots of great sex be with you today (and always) !!! ;P Because remember, it's actually sex that makes the world go round, not love!"
That explains why there are so many OOW babies in the black community and the bm abandoning their families. It's the sex that counts, right? No wonder bm don't give a damn about bw and the children they father. No love, no conscience.
Only a sick minded person would claim that sex makes the world go round. No wonder the black race is at the end of the line....everyone else is looking for love, but Blacks are looking to be fucked. How pathetically primative.
The end of the line?
