Why I’ll only give Kim Kardashian’s divorce ‘this’ much of my attention.
1. Because its not worthy! My bangs are longer than her marriage.
2. Because its sad. Sad for sooooo many reasons. Sad because again, we’re highlighting another failed marriage. Sad because children growing up without more affirmative forces will potentially assume it’s easy to marry and easy to get a divorce.
3. It’s stupid to focus on her divorce/marriage because people who know better will still be influenced into assuming having a wedding is better than no”love at all.” I’m trying to recall where I read in the bible (or anywhere) that a wedding = love. Oh, you can’t recall either?! Shocker! It’s because a wedding doesn’t equal love misfits.
4. We’ll never truly know how Kim feels. Is she upset? Was this a plot for $$? Is she happy it’s over? Either way, her true feelings won’t make the cut of her impending VH1 1-hour special produced by her mother and Ryan Seacrest.
5. Because she’s already been the highlight of too many discussions. I ‘like’ Kim, but enough honey. I’ve been to one to many dinner parties where her claim to fame “ooh baby shenanigans with Ray J” were an appetizer. Yes, the actual video. (eeek!)
6. Because I haven’t spent enough time writing about education this week!
7. Because I’m the ultimate true love groupie, and anytime I see someone throw it away, or make light of its power I cringe. Because the kind of marriage I believe in lasts. And to last, it takes reaaaal work. Now, of course I can never say if Kim was really in love or not, but I’m 100% sure I don’t want the kind of romantic love she has. These 4 minute Toaster Strudle marriages are bad for my business. C’mon celebrities. Stop it. Some of your marriages deserve their own sub-category of marriage because they’re definitely not the real thing. Yeah, your wedding might be lavish to the tenth degree, but its ‘obvi’ your actual marriage is as legit as a hangover induced Vegas ceremony.
8. Are any of us surprised? No. And that my loves is precisely why I MUST focus on more breaking or honestly, old news. I have nothing else to say, and too much to say about other things that can make me, and NOT her money. Her vagina has already made her enough. (low blow? #punswild Sorry…)
Are you talking about Kim and her marriage/divorce? Why, why not? What ARE you focused on this week?
I will admit to feeding into the Kardashian Kraze from time to time but was I surprised by the divorce? … not at all. Hollywood marriages (if u can even call it that) are a sham .. oops I meant shame. This week and every week I’m focusing on showing my daughter what a real marriage is like and that true love is something to cherish and is worth fighting for. It’s better to lead by example. Thanks for the post Jovi
And thank you for commenting! I gotta say, of course no judgement or harsh thoughts for anyone who will spend tons of time on this divorce/marriage. I spent 17 minutes writing this post, lol. Truth is, I do like Kim (not that that matters) and generally I like the Kardashian’s ‘family first’ mentality. I’m just not a fan of silly marriages. They’re so far from my own reality and what I’ve grown up admiring.
Thanks for saying all that I refuse to give the time to verbalize in regard to Kim K’s situation. Unfortunately, the focus tends to be placed on the extravagent, fairy-tale wedding when it should be on the challenge & reward of STAYING married…just my thoughts. Mad funny & right-on, Jovian!
“Because its sad. Sad for sooooo many reasons. Sad because again, we’re highlighting another failed marriage. Sad because children growing up without more affirmative forces will potentially assume its easy to marry and easy to get a divorce.”
Amen. Amen. Our society continues its numbness to and dumbing down of the sanctity of marriage.
The thing is, I don’t despite Kim as much as most people. I’m like she’s a product of the culture – one that’s she’s helping to shape. PLUS i cant be mad at her hustle.
But THIS?! This made me sad. Not because I had these awesome expectations for the Humphries, but because marriage is FAR more than an opportunity for you to make money and increase your fame. Not saying that’s what happened. I’m just not saying that that’s NOT what happened.
I have been thinking about it since yesterday only because I think our society puts an enormous pressure on people to be married/have elaborate weddings. Some people act like if you don’t have a man, there must be something wrong with you. Although she did it for the money/publicity I also think Kimmy K caved into the pressure of “if you’re not married by 30 your life is over!” that exists out there.
Good point. A pressure she may have felt even more strongly as a public figure. Sucks.
It strains my senses at how insensitive we have become when it comes to powerfil concepts like “marriage”. The fact that two separate entities can indeed become one is like how a perfect God can love imperfect people: It shouldn’t be possible…but it is!! And yet people have gotten used to the statistics of marriage, more than the importance and power of it!
this is what one of my fb friends typed and i agree!
She need to sit her pussy down somewhere! Give it a break!
his words, not mine…but imeanreally Kim….just go away…take all the reality show freaks with ya, too!
