“If you have the ability to love, love yourself first.”
― Charles Bukowski
My friend and I were slightly drunk in a hotel room. It happened to be Valentine’s day, so there was all these creepy and disgusting Valentine’s Day posts on instagram. It made me feel nauseous and that’s when I came up with this parody.
Parody shit for Valentine’s day
Valentine’s Day, also called Saint Valentine’s Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine,[1] is an annual holiday celebrated on February 14. It originated as a Western Christian liturgical feast day honoring one or more early saints named Valentinus, and is recognized as a significant cultural and commercial celebration in many regions around the world, although it is not a public holiday in any country.

lol… this made my day… 😀
Thanks Alex!
…and mine , too!
Love your parody and share Bukowsky’s words.
Thank you Sanfermo. I’m glad I can spread some joy. 🙂
“creepy and disgusting Valentine’s Day posts on instagram” Oh yes 😀
My IG feed was filled with Valentine’s regurgitation, it was like mass-psychosis.
Makes me wonder did Bukowski get any tattoos done?
Not that I know of. He had severe skin problems and he probably didn’t even like tattoos.
Yeah good point. He’s had enough things poking him
I remember that this pic made my day when I saw it on Instagram. I couldn’t stop laughing at your ingenuity 🙂 Needles to say that I like your version much better. The original picture makes me sick.
It’s good to know that I’m able to make people laugh. 😀 Thank you very much Mara.
The original makes me feel nauseous too.
Great post.
Woohoo!
HA! One thing, though: I’m fairly certain that is a Dr. Seuss quote! Or Moe from the Three Stooges. Bah, humbug!
It’s a Charles Bukowski quote, but someone else might have written or said similar things both before and after.
Haha! I was just joking! Bukowski rules….
I second that!
😀
HA!
