Kevin Jonas Gets Engaged

At the risk of appearing like a gossip columnist, I decided to write about Mr. Jonas getting married here.

http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20288983,00.html?cnn=yes
I have gotten into the habit of reading books by their cover. And its a habit that pays off usually. When it comes to buying things from shady looking places. As they say "Your first impression is usually the right one." That is almost the polar opposite of "You can never judge a book by its cover." Anyway, I came upon this article about Kevin Jonas, and this girl from NJ getting engaged. I look at the picture, the first thing I think is "That chick is 22?"

I have noticed that this obsession over tanning has really led some girls to look way older than they really are. Now Kevin I can't say looks 21, but he still has that "wet behind the ears" look, just as I did when I was his age. And I believe to some extent I was wet behind the ears. People shouldn't get married before 23 I don't think. Especially people that are worth millions of dollars. Research has shown that those young marriages are far more likely to fail than the ones that start in the mid to late 20's. All I am saying Kev is wait it out a little longer. If she starts getting impatient, and starts mentally spending your money before you are even married, its time to get away. Far, far, away. Also if you are marrying this woman because you are waiting for marriage to have sex, just because she is pretty doesn't mean the sex will be good. Just some food for thought. In conclusion, sex is only one piece of the puzzle, so choose wisely. You don't want to wake up next to a psycho money grubbing wench a couple of years down the line saying,"this is not my house, how did I get here." Sneaky like a snake.

'Reality TV stars Jon and Kate are divorcing'

Yep I am sure you have heard the news by now. I don't agree with their decision. I believe people give up too easily on marriage now a days. Thats why we have a 50% divorce rate. People don't take it seriously enough because divorcing is so easy. You could bet the farm that if divorcing weren't allowed, only by death, like in some other countries, people would think a lot longer about who they are going to marry.
This is not the case for Jon and Kate, to me at least. Unless one or the other has been unhappy from the start, this should have been fixed. I have not heard anything about them going to counseling or anything similar. As Dr. Phil has said, divorce is only the answer when all other avenues have been exhausted, and there is nothing left to do. No unfinished feelings, etc. That doesn't seem like the Jon and Kate I know. It looks more like two pissed off people who care more about their selfish feelings than that of their children. Unless a relationship is flat out abusive, you should always try to resolve it for your children. Thats my opinion anyway, coming from a single parent household. People always will try to find the easy way out, the easy money making scheme, the road MORE traveled. We really should get on that "road less traveled" every once in a while.
Think it over guys, will ya?

Son of american man REMAINS in Brazil after 11th try

I have been following this story loosely since before the mother of this child died in Brazil during child birth. Here is the short: This man and woman were married, she is Brazilian, she goes to Brazil with the child on a "2 week vacation". While she is down there, she divorces the american man and marries a Brazilian lawyer. According to Brazilian courts they don't know how this could have happened seeing as the husband was not in Brazil to sign the papers. So this was in 2004 I believe. The whole time the Dad is trying to get his son back, because what this woman did was dishonest. Then THANK GOD, this woman died in childbirth, trying to have the lawyer's devil spawn. This was 2008, but the Brazilian "relatives" if you could call them that, refuse to give up custody of the boy still. They now say that the boy is damaged, and letting him go home after all this time would not be good for him! HA. If this is the way the legal system works in Brazil, I never want to go there. Someone would accuse me of something with no proof and I would be in prison for the rest of my life.
Check out the newest of the story:

I hope the mom is burning right now, and I hope the lawyer joins her soon.
