I think blogging is a type of journalism. And the reason people say it isn't is because they fear the change. I like the quote: "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, not the most intellegent that suvives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change." If people are not willing to accept the change that maybe blogging is entering the field as journalism, then how long will what they think journalism last.
I never thought so many people blogged about things or their lives, until I got one for a class. There is a lot of followers and very popular bloggers. All kinds of different topics people write about. It is very interesting to read some of the blogs, to see what people's oppinion is. More and more are switching to blogging as their way of jouralism.

Love or Hate the day?
So why do people now days either hate it or love Valentines Day? I think the ones who don't like Valentine's Day might not because it's a day that reminds them of not having someone. Ones who do enjoy the red heart day share it with the special person. I don't know why some make it such a negitive day.
Giving and receiving gifts, like the classic chocolates and roses, are just a fun thing. 73% of Valentine Day flowers are bought by men, where as women buy only 23% of Valentine flowers.
There are different ideas to the way Valentines Day celebration began. Some think it is from the Lupercalia, an ancient Roman festival while others say the event with two saints named valentine of the early Christian church. One of them would secretly conduct marriage of couples by disobeying the rule of Roman Emperor, Claudius; he was a lover of children but, was imprisoned when he would not honor different gods. The children missed him and wrote messages to him through the bars of his jail cell. This can be considered as the first of exchanging messages. Still people link it with an old English belief that love birds choose their mates on February 14. Pope Gelasius declared February 14 St. Valentine's Day around 498 A.D.
