What a Shock

Last week was a tough week. I'm sure most of you are still recovering from the whole incident and struggling to make sense of your life and what you will do from here on out. You probably slowed down and examined your relationships in light of the tragedy. I'm of course talking about the break-up of Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston.
I mean who saw this coming? Their marriage looked so strong. They had everything everyone wants so that their own marriages will last. They were good looking, had alot of money, were both famous, had really nice hair, spent very little time together, had a million dollar wedding ceremony, slept around with numerous people before getting married, and had worked at their relationship for a whole seven years. It was everything a strong marriage should be.
If marriage can't work for Hollywood stars with that kind of foundation, what kind of chance can us disadvantaged people have? I think that's why so many people are having a hard time with this.
I guess the silver lining is the quote by Brad, "We happily remain committed and caring friends with great love and admiration for one another."
That's great.
Actually, come to think about it, that sounds like a decent definition of marriage. Hmmm... that's interesting.
