LoOoooVVvee
I just read something sad. My favorite celebrity couple Adam Brody & Rachel Bilson broke-up! Dude, i love them together. Seth, woops, I mean Adam is soooo funny and they made such cute down-to-earth couple. Hopefully this is a false media report.
Come to think of it, a lot of couples have been breaking up lately in good ole Hollywood. It's the holidays people. can't you just work it out!!! I swear, I am not even gonna care about celebrity wedding news anymore. No one ever makes it in la la land. Marriage is not seen as a sacred once in a lifetime commitment. Its viewed more like a "Things to do". Marriage is not a joke and people like Kid Rock and Pamela Anderson ruin it for everyone else. As I type this, a million 'Hollywood couples' come to mind who have made a huge deal tying the knot and then breaking up.
I know that its unrealistic to think that every marriage will work-out and all couples can get passed every obstacle but I think that the current failure-rates for marriage are unbelievable. Are the percentages for success low because people don't take marriage vows seriously or are people really not meant to be monogamous. I mean, I think we can go one forever and debate over that topic but its something that I think about from time to time.
I was talking to someone just the other day about how too many unprepared couples get married and/or have children. Why is it that we have to take a test to get our drivers license, to fly a plane, to sell real estate but we don't have to take a test or obtain a proof of readiness for marriage or t0 have a baby? Wouldn't society be a better place if some people just weren't allowed to reproduce until they were mature? Wouldn't the world be a better place if couples actually stayed TOGETHER?? People such as Kevin Fredaline (aka K-Fed) should not be allowed to bear any more children. I feel terrible for his 4 kids. I wouldn't even acknowledge k-fed as my dad during soccer games and stuff growing up. He's so icky!! And to think, he's going to be a role-model to his kids.
I think I'm gonna put together a Marriage/Baby exam. There are many out there online (i.e. Test Cafe) but mine is gonna be K-fed proof. I think I will focus my marketing for it towards celebrities since it seems that they have a HUGE problem with marriage success rates. Anyone thinking about tying the knot or having a baby will have the opportunity to take it and rate themselves. I'll start with myself. But I can't do much know since the idea is still only in my head. I'll have to think about this one some more. I could change the world with my idea. For now, I'm gonna go take some of the tests out there and see how I rate. =)
