Lying Low

I was told to "lay low" for a little while (although proper grammar tells me that people lie and things lay so technically it would be "lie low"...) so that's what I'm doing. I'll come back in a few weeks and tell you guys what's been going on, until then- read into this as much as you can ;)

 Also watch this  and this  (poor quality though) and while you're at it, watch this too. Oh, just go watch the whole movie and oogle over Skylar Astin yourself. Go ahead, he's hot ;) and Fat Amy is HILAROUS. You won't regret it. Go.

It's Like Looking Into A Mirror

I'm pretty sure John and I have had multiple conversations identical to this exact one concerning concert tickets.  People these days just have no respect for the classics. I feel ya girl ;)

The Covenant of Marriage

Dear Kim Kardashian and People Alike,

Today I typed the word “Marriage” into my Google search bar and the first thing that came up was ,”After just 72 days Kim Kardashian has filed for divorce from Kris Humphries”. So congratulations. You’ve made a mockery of everything marriage stands for. Marriage is a commitment of yourself to your spouse; it’s a promise to hang in there through the amazingly good times and the dreadfully bad times; marriage is a covenant “a solemn binding relationship which is meant to last a lifetime”.

People have this idolized idea of what marriage will be like, that after the wedding day you’ll both live “happily ever after” but you won’t. Not every day. You’re merging two different people, two different families, two different pasts, to create “one flesh”, one family, and one future together….that is bound to get rocky. But you made a commitment to stick it out through times just like that. And you Kim, you couldn’t do it for longer than 72 days. 72 days? Really? That’s absurd. Did you even try to make it work? Did you do everything you could to save your marriage? In 72 days, I know you didn’t. Once it got hard, you ran for the hills.

Yeah, I’ve read the reports on what’s been going on with them but nothing I’ve read is worth a divorce. People have gone through so much worse than what these two have gone through and they’ve made their marriage last for their whole lives. He’s currently out of a job? So is half of America; he’s partying too much? He’ll get over it…it’s called growing up and maturing, she knew going into it that he wasn’t the most mature guy in the world; He’s spending her money? Welcome to marriage. These are just excuses. She wants to move on, find something better, get more face-time in the press. I’m sure she’ll find a way to make money off of this.

It sickens me that people go into marriage thinking of an out. What I mean by that is, in the back of their minds, maybe even subconsciously, they think “if it doesn’t work we can get divorced”; “it doesn’t have to be permanent” but that’s exactly what it should be-permanent.

It’s easy to promise forever on a day when your happy, true character is being able to promise forever even when you’re not.












*P.S. I’m sure people who are divorced will not be happy by this post. Unless there is an extreme case like abuse or adultery, I will stand by what I said. Marriage is supposed to be permanent. If it’s not, then what’s the point of it?*
