Okay, listen. My confession is this: I don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day. I think that the coolest thing that I ever did on Valentine’s Day was attend a Deicide show at Harpo’s, and since then I seem to have personally retired the holiday… Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I don’t believe in love.
