Valentine’s Day Doesn’t Have to Suck.

By Jamie TworkowskiFebruary 9, 2009

Hey Guys.

i think we can all relate to all of the following: pain, hope, love, loss, laughter, questions, joy, loneliness, dreams, sickness, fear and friendship.  Sometimes life is this really amazing thing.  Sometimes it hurts like hell.  Sometimes it’s just plain awkward.

Valentine’s Day can be pretty great if you have a date or a wife or boyfriend, or something along those lines.  But like most holidays, it can also remind you what’s missing or what hurts.  It can be a pretty lonely day.  (It can certainly be awkward.)

We believe that conversations are powerful, that with all of the issues we speak to and so many of the messages we respond to, the answer begins there, with choosing to live less alone, choosing to do life with other people. 

So, for the second year in a row, this is our attempt at taming a famous awkward day.  We did this last year and it turned out to be a great night.  We’re aiming for more of the same this year, wanting Saturday night’s live chat to be a taste of community, honesty and hope for a lot of people. 

See you Saturday?

PS: It’s pretty easy.  You’ll just need to go to AbsolutePunk.net at 8pm EST this Saturday night (2/14). If you want to participate in the chat, you’ll need to create an account. It’s easy and it’s free.

PS2: We’ll be in Chicago for events Thursday and Friday.  Check the calendar for info.
