On Being Faithful Part II

Ok, so the other day I was ranting about what's wrong with people and how they are unfaithful and how it's specifically men.... Well...someone near and dear to me has been dealing with a cheating husband and I was upset and shocked to find out.

Let me go on to explain that not all people (specifically men) are like that. My parents just celebrated 28 years of marriage. (A big congratulations to them!!) As much as they fight and carry on, I know that they are in love and have made a life together. I cannot tell you that they are perfect, but they try to love each other as best they can. I think marriage is a lot of work, but hopefully the rewards are worth the work.

I do not know the reasons behind one being unfaithful... and even though I believe it is wrong, I understand that they may believe they have good reason for it. It may be a result of fear or anger or some other disabling thing. I find it rather sad and I still think that it just should not happen.

My advice? Don't get married if you think this will be a problem. If you don't know that it will be a problem until it is a problem, don't pretend that everything is alright. Everything is not alright.

Strange Things

Here are some strange things that I have learned in my lifetime so far:

- Never put glow sticks in your mouth
- Always check that the toilet seat is down
- Never go near a beauty school student who has bobbie pins
- Always make sure who the person is behind the mask before you react
- Never put the end of a phone charger in your mouth while it is plugged in
- Always make sure of where the cat is before opening the dog food
- Never agree to retrieve javelins
- Always wear boots in a warehouse in winter, even if it doesn't feel that cold
- Never assume all is clear when quickly ducking into a bunk bed
- Never agree to be the front of the train while sledding
- Always make sure the horse you are touching is not touching the electric fence
- Never jump on really large boxes in order to destroy them
- Always check your pillow for stink bugs, or any bug for that matter

Why do I always have to learn the hard way?! LOL!

Bolt and Rhino

So I was watching the movie Bolt this weekend and if you haven't seen it and you find creepy hamsters funny... you have to see it! I don't know why I got such a kick out of that hamster named Rhino... Everytime that thing spoke I foud myself in a fit of laughter. What a creepy little guy!

On Being Faithful

Is it really that difficult to be faithful? Maybe I am from planet Mars or something, but I don't understand it. When you get married, you take an oath to be faithful to the other person. Once you break that, does that mean your marraige is null? What is wrong with people? More specifically...men. I just need to get that off my chest. Okay, I'm good now. --Oh, and this has nothing to do with me--

Eminent Domain

I just read that the government is condemning land near Shanksville, Pennsylvania for the flight 93 memorial. 2,200 acres are required for the memorial and $58 billion dollars will be used.

Question 1: Who is going to pay for this?
Question 2: Why do they need that much land?
Question 3: Will many people visit this memorial?

This story has me really upset today. As a property owner, I feel the pain. Okay, so I don't have 500 acres of land, but I still understand that these people pay taxes on their property and they have ideas and uses for their property. They never knew that a plane was going to crash on their land and cause a tragedy that needs to be remembered. I understand the need to remember, the need to create something for the families, the need to allow people to mourn the loss, but do they really need that much land to do so?

To end on a positive note: Dress Down Day at work tomorrow!!! :) That so made my day!

It's Complicated

Sometimes I think I make life more complicated than it has to be. Sometimes life is about living, not thinking. I worry way too much. If I would just stop over thinking every move I make, maybe life wouldn't be so complicated. I would like to STOP and just have fun. This is my exit and I'm getting off for a while. My path will continue when I am ready. Sometimes I like taking the winding road in which I have no idea where it leads. Who cares? I need to have fun during the journey and stop worrying about what lies ahead. Lol, I feel like I'm making it more complicated by even writing this post about it. So, I'm done over complicating things.... If it wasn't really late on a weeknight, I'd be enjoying life! For now I'll just dream about enjoying it.

Just Jargon
