Hollywood Rant

As a society we worship Hollywood so much, they are the trendsetters that decide what is "hip and cool", what we are supposed to wear, and we ooh and ahh over everything they do and watch plastic people like Mary Hart going to these $1,000 a plate "charity dinners" more concerned about who designed their clothes than what the charity is about.
Hollywood has never placed an emphasis on committment and fidelity in relationships. Celebrities change lovers like most people change socks and they get married for all the wrong reasons and then break up when they get bored. Nobody wants to watch a soap opera if a couple stays happily married, everytime a problem happens, the answer is to end up in someone else's bed.
I am tired of living in poverty, but is this what I could look forward to if I became rich

My x didn't place an emphasis on fidelity or committment either. My life was like a soap opera..infidelity , abuse, drug abuse, etc.. I don't like living on 1/4 of the income we used to either. The good news is that I no longer put my life in jeopardy by sleeping with him, my children,s dignity in jeopardy by him openly having affairs, and if he gots caught by the police for his illicit drug use,only he will suffer for it now.

is hollywood a pace setter, or just a reflection of society, or an inevitability when directors and producers pair people up and just naturally spending day in and day out in kissing scenes, they develop feelings and rules go out the window ?

ok I talk like his girlfriend now. I meant children's, and if he gets caught. Bad grammar is so catching. His girlfriend is also a crackhead and an excon, there goes the soap opera again.

Geo- maybe you are right, maybe it is a reflection of society- because the ratings are so high for these shows- nobody wants to watch the "Waltons" or the "Brady Bunch" anymore.

maybe they have the right idea.. variety... I never had the courage, the thought or the finances to go from one to the other to the other.. but it sure sounds a lot more fun than spending 24 years that you thought would be a lifetime and then yourself outside looking in.

All those opportunities but "foresaking all others". Oh well.

Sure is no making for lost time, either.

Appearances deceive. Being rich is about being glad with what you have. There are poor people who were truly joyful. It's all in gratitude. Celebrities are people too, the media is there to get our attention, it is not necessarily showing us the whole truth. "He who is happy is wealthy." Not everyone is a slave to popular media "culture". It's supposed to be for entertainment, not to emmulate.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
