Here's your Daily Open Thread for Thursday, Feb. 14, 2013, Valentine's Day.
As usual, come discuss whatever your heart desires, or unload the depths of your despair, we are here for you either way, for better or for worse. Whether you get bored at work, have something on your mind, or just want to chat with all your favorite lovely Cagesiders on any topic you want -- even some wrestling!
Today, I would like to share a highly creative and adorably sweet little video of a song by Kina Grannis, "Valentine":
Enjoy ~
Then, after checking that out, you should be sure to scroll on down through the thread, make a comment or two -- or dozens; revisit it throughout the day (and night). You will likely enjoy some of the usual gems from your fellow Cagesiders, including:
Match of the Day, Music Video Link of the day, Babe of the day, Bro of the day, Alison Brie gif of the day, AJ Lee pic of the day, Photo Caption of the Day, and more!
This thread is not guaranteed to cheer up any form of blues you may have; maybe the ones you love always seem to turn out to be in love with someone other than you, maybe you think Valentine's Day is a farce and love is a cruel and elusive joke, maybe you need a venue to gripe about your work, your boss, your lesser half, the brats, heels or faces in your life, or the general public at large.
Or perhaps, this is a place where you can celebrate all the shit that makes you happy in this world. Maybe chat about someone who makes you feel like broken hearts can be mended and come out stronger than ever, despite the scar tissue, maybe not... just come chill out with us, regardless.
Give it a go, or comment, or lurk... 'til your heart is content! Lyrics below the line for those who want to follow along...

"Valentine"
Kina Grannis
Love, it's a special day
We should celebrate and appreciate
That you and me found something pretty neat
And I know some say this day is arbitrary
But, it's a good excuse
That I love to use baby
I know what to do baby
I, I will love you
I'll love you
I'll love you
Love, I don't need those things
I don't need no ring
I don't need anything
But you and me, cause in your company
I feel happier, so happy and complete
And it's a good excuse
That I love to use baby
I know what to do baby
I, I will love you
I'll love you
I'll love you
Yeah, it's a good excuse
That I love to use baby
I know what to do baby
I, I will love you
I'll love you
I'll love you
So, won't you be my honeybee?
Giving me kisses all the time
Be mine
Be my valentine
So, won't you be my honeybee?
Giving sweet kisses all the time
Be mine
Be my valentine
Oh oh oh oh oh
Be my Valentine

BONUS VIDEO FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO READ THE WHOLE POST:
A classic for anyone on the other side of the half empty vs. half full Valentine's Day cup debate:
"Love Stinks" by the J. Geils Band, enjoy ~
And Lyrics for you as well, sing it, loud and proud:
"LOVE STINKS"
The J. Geils Band
You love her, but she loves him
And he loves somebody else -- you just can't win
And so it goes, till the day you die
This thing they call love, it's gonna make you cry
I've had the blues, the reds, and the pinks
One thing is for sure...
(Love stinks)
LOVE STINKS! (yeah, yeah)
[X4]
Two-by-two and side-by-side
Love's gonna find you, yes it is, you just can't hide!
You'll hear it call... your heart will fall
Then love will fly, it's gonna soar
I don't care for any Casanova thing
All I can say is...
(Love stinks)
LOVE STINKS! (yeah, yeah)
[X4]
I've been through diamonds
I've been through minks -- I've been through it all
LOVE STINKS!!!
(CHORUS REPEATS)
