LA's Valentine: Where did cupid go?
Valentine’s Day came and left this year without any serious effect. I did not spend it alone, but I did not spend it with "my significant other" either. It was more like a quasi-date. Despite the fact that some of my friends and co-workers felt compelled to browse earnestly through the “little black book” in order to have a plan for that night, I felt no need to do that. For some reason I felt comfortable knowing that after work I would have class, then most likely would hit the gym and finally would watch a movie at home before calling it a night. It did not bother me, as it did in previous years, the fact that I did not have a romantic relationship at the moment - or for this particular day. I will admit that I would have loved to share that day with that “special” someone. But, then again, I would love to spend not only that day, but many more with that special someone.
For some unknown reason cupid did not make it to my home in time, again. Even though for a moment it seemed that I was going to have a hard time deciding who to spend it with due to three guys who I've been getting to know. But, at the last minute I decided it was not worth it to rush things just to go out on Valentine's. So, in short, Cupid has skipped my door during the last couple of Valentine's Days. Wherevere Cupid is, I hope he is fine ... no I take that back ... I hope he's handcuffed and tied up somewhere and/or critically ill at a hospital's bed, that way I would understand his absence from my love life. Let's hope that whenever he finds himself with some free time he would come and, just as in Reyli's song, he will have mercy on me.
This Valentine's I found myself at Pershing Square in Downtown L.A. sipping some Coffee Bean coffee and discussing life with my friend Miguel. The lights of the high-rise buildings were shinning behind us as the never-ending LA traffic moved around us. Inevitably so, we talked about Love. We shared our victories and defeats in the love arena. We laughed at our stupid mistakes and empathized with our experiences of broken hearts. Under the bright lights of a “new” city in the making, we exposed our fears and let our imaginations fly to what destiny will bring in our lives.
In any case, it was good to learn that: L.A. + Coffee + Moon + Chat + Friend = a Great Valentine’s Day!
