I love the Smell of Napalm during Valentine’s Week.
Is there anything better than Valentine’s Day?
I think not. Unless it is Valentine’s Week.
To kick off this week, I rented a movie based on Joseph Conrad's 'Heart of Darkness." I thought it was going to be a romantic comedy with its delightful juxtaposition of 'heart' and 'darkness.' The movie, Apocalypse Now, is not the most romantic of comedies.
Silly me!
I seem to pick out movies on a sixth grader level.
Anyway, I can't encourage you enough to do something to get in the spirit of this week.
Here's a funny little joke, I like to play. I tell a lady friend how lonely I am, ask her to be my valentine and than mock her if she says yes. "Ha! I was totally joking! I don't even have the slightest emotional connection with you."
Not funny?
Well, I don't really do that. But girls seem to think it funny when they pull that on me.
"Like I could ever be involved with a man of your spelling abilities!"
Oh, the horror!
Anyway, don't worry about ol' conceptofirony being alone. I've gotten some amazing matches on eharmony.
Perhaps some day I will be able to say with Martin Sheen's character in Apocalypse Now: “I was going to the worst place in the world…and I didn’t even know it.”
Oh, the horror!
