"Novemburrrr" 5, 2006
(check out this vid)
"G & R's - November Rain"
It's my song of the month!
"Divorce" - (it's not what it use to be) -
"CherryTAP"
(I hope this finds you all happy and healthy)
Although I don't do a lot of research for my blogs,
if I state something as fact -
I have read it and have a resource to confirm any 'fact' based references.
Any stats I mention are pulled from here today:
Divorce Statistics Collection
(some interesting facts and stats if you like that sort of thing)
I don't like to state a lot of fact though, I just like to voice my opinion most of the time ...
I happen to find the above link while browsing an interesting story about divorce.
I'm a product of divorced parents, and I've had personal divorce(s) in my life.
*whispers 'three' under his breath*
I was amazed at all the different stats that been accumulated threw out the years concerning divorce ...
Seriously - It's like baseball cards!
There's a breakdown on everything from:
Age
Race
Religion
Date
Time
Place
(and the list goes on and on)
In my youth there was a totally different perception to divorce,
You JUST didn't DO IT!
(talk about ripping your world apart)
A divorce wasn't a common occurrence in small town USA.
It was looked at as taboo subject, shunned by EVERY religion.
It was look at as a failure of the worst kind ...
People thought divorce happened to Movie stars and sinners,
So if you weren't a movie star ...
I was the first kid in my class to have their parents split.
I recall how people looked at me, how they would whisper behind our backs.
They acted as if (the kids in my family)
As a children that were like the 'poor' and 'abused.'
(well, they got the 'poor' part right) ... the abused(?)
I wouldn't figure that part out until years later ...
Um as a 'shrink' would later insist it's why I am the way I am ...
Oops 'TMI'
(lol, that a whole another can of worms & issues)
I'll save that for a three part series of short storys
(just torn apart a household)
It's no big deal now-a-day ...
Life goes on, not only is it not uncommon to see divorces in a family -- there might be multiple divorces.
The family dynamic as I once knew doesn't exist,
divorce is common ...
Let alone step-siblings/parents and not just a 'half siblings' but multiples of those.
My own LEXY has a half brother and sister that is mine and my first wife's.
Then a half brother that is from her mothers first marriage ...
AND a half brother that her mother had with husband number three.
(Confusing eh?)
I'm amazed how desensitize the world has become to divorce,
It was announce once that:
"The divorce rate is not as high as perviously announced ...
It is only at 43% instead of the 50% that was found piror."
Like 43% is a good thing???
With that I'll segue to:
MY
Make Up My Mind 
(click above to answer @ my current MUMM)
Has the public come to expect marriages to fail?
Yes (it is a fail ritual, past its use) -or- No (divorce rates will start going down in time)
Maybe it's just me, but I always liked a saying I once heard: at a bar or on TV or something ... "If there was any real Justice - it wouldn't be so cheap to get a marriage license and so expensive for a divorce decree -- because if it were reversed the other way around - There wouldn't be as many divorces in the courts. sorry I had to make that stupid joke
