today, as for everybody else, is Valentine's Day. I don't really hate this day even though it's commercial as any other holiday. Reading another blog on commercialization, I wonder if there is any benefit for towards the holidays. If it is existence, then maybe commercializing the holiday works. What if we could commercialize Dia de los Muertos? Wal-Mart would carry skull candies, next to build your own altar kits, and department stores are unable to resist a clothing line. Then we would find upscale hierberias selling hard to find items like hummingbirds wrapped in red string. If you need one I can tell you where you can find one, a bit overpriced, but you don't find these just anywhere. Sure, there will be hacks, but is there an ultimate benefit to the culture?
If you laugh, it is too late. People have already started. Do we embrace a commercialization because of the exposure, or do we despise it for its shortcomings?
See the future...

Maybe I can get these few lines on a Valentine's shirt:
Duele
que mis palabras
ni labios
no te consumen
pero en mis sueños
estamos juntos
y en silencio
Happy Valentine's Day
