my 2 cents

years ago my cousin eloped and then had her marriage annulled a year later.  i was 12 and i remember the family being in an uproar, she was 22 and her husband was canadian.  i didn't understand all the fuss, by 22 i was pregnant and who doesn't like syrup or hockey or bacon?  anyhow, my aunt said something back then that stuck with me, "in order to make a marriage work you have to give it at least 5 years.  anything less is just a joke." 
fast forward to august 2011 when kim kardASSian married kris whocares.  their marriage lasted 72 days.  with 10 million dollars being spent on the wedding and 2 million on the ring it averages out to about $168,000 a DAY.  a day!  i heard a clip of kris (husband not mother) saying something to kim about her having the wedding planned out since she was a little girl and not really caring about WHO the man was.  all that insight and he still married her, but whatever. 
and let us not forget how kim kardASSians became famous, she took it in the ass by a black guy who video taped it.  i know plenty of girls who have done a lot more for a lot less. my point being, how are people like this considered "celebrities" and given front page news and magazine covers?  shouldn't we be talking about the soldiers who are dying in the middle east, orphans who are starving all over the world or gays who aren't even allowed to get married?!
what the fuck is wrong with people?  will kim ever find true, lasting love?  will I ever give a fuck?  do kids today know that there use to be sitcoms that were really funny?  that tv shows had to be clever and witty to make it?  would dallas or seinfeld or golden girls make it in todays programing?     
that being said, if this generation does not accept bevis and butthead and make it a huge success, im giving up and moving to hollywood.  look for my ass in a movie somewhere.
