Welcome to a Valentines edition of our humble Monday Update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>So let&#8217;s take a look around and see what&#8217;s worth mentioning today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8230; Ah here we go:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.friedyoda.com\/noisecast\/2011\/02\/2-turkeys-and-eagle-they-could-become.html\">Microsoft and Nokia pretend to be sneaky, fools no one, now what?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.friedyoda.com\/noisecast\/2011\/02\/mwc-2011-sony-ericsson-roundup.html\">Sony Ericsson Somethingerother<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.friedyoda.com\/noisecast\/2011\/02\/your-revolution-is-not-unique.html\">Need a new novel to read?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.friedyoda.com\/noisecast\/2011\/02\/why-we-need-apple-to-move-away-from-sim.html\">Thoughts on SIM cards, Apple, and iPhone&#8217;s future<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&amp; finally,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.friedyoda.com\/noisecast\/2011\/02\/i-made-this-for-you.html\">A stupid animation clip I made two years ago.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving on, today is Valentines Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A day full of lovers who celebrate, and haters who gonna hate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Couples who hug and kiss, and singles who snarl and hiss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blah blah blah Valentines day poem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s easy to find yourself falling on one of two opposing sides on Valentines day. You either hate all the couples you see, or you&#8217;re part of a couple. So on this &#8220;couples day,&#8221; what can the single individual do to stay sane?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s pretty easy. Just remember, tomorrow is a totally normal day, and while that couple may be having the best day of their lives today, tomorrow, she&#8217;ll want to have dinner at her parents, or he&#8217;ll want to watch some sporting event, and they&#8217;ll be back to reality. The point is, there&#8217;s bad and good in every situation. Couples fight all the time, and single people can sometimes feel lonely. It&#8217;s all a natural part of life. The key is finding the good in your life. Find a silver lining and go with that. The rest of that nonsense can go screw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s some wise words:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Forgetting Sarah Marshall (7\/11) Movie CLIP - When Life Gives You Lemons (2008) HD\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/P8Xg1vVkIh8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>See?
