Congratulations Kim Kardashian, you’re finally someone.

So much EFFORT!

And I know. This is NOT a topic that I would usually pay any attention to, much less write a blog post about, but really — I am left with a big empty space where my faith all things underbelly used to just sit and stew in its own filth.

Because people behave badly, most of the time… with the exception of people that I know and/or am related to, right? Because TALK about going through the motions of the extreme while taking advantage of, well — EVERYTHING. While we, because I know I’m not alone, not only ask, WHO is Kim Kardashian? What has she done to be this famous? Who takes the time… I mean, who HAS the time, to be so fake? And even with people, on the whole, being less than well-behaved, apparently even those that are famous — making ungodly amounts of money for doing pretty much nothing — Even they have to reach deep down into the inner core of all things WRONG and RIDICULOUS to achieve — something? Because that is what has happened here, right? Pop culture — our society taken for a celebrity circus ride through things that don’t really exist all for the sake of an enormous dollar amount for a weird little group of people that are obsessed with “reality” television and their own reflections… right? Because the rest of us are so silly to imagine that love and marriage – you know, the BASIS of FAMILY are really all so worth it? Especially when there is a career of doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING on the line.

And it’s just that — the doing of absolutely nothing that makes this all so much more dark. While we really don’t care, we are still being blasted at every turn with details of a planned to be failed marriage, the scandal that doesn’t really exist because it was planned, and the crazy dollar amounts that people are making for nothing short of make-believe. Was it love? No. Was it arranged even before an engagement? Probably. Can the groom in question read? Not likely. Does Kim Kardashian even exist, or did we make her up so that we would have someone to grace the covers of all publications everywhere? Possibly. Will more people than it’s worth go to bank on nothing more than a figment of our imaginations? OBVIOUSLY.

Because, in the light of day, she wasn’t really anyone… That is, until she filed for divorce.

Mari’s Random Five – Any Excuse to Love

| 5 Comments

I have already mentioned over at Small for Big that I’m not really into hearts, red and pink, lace, doilies, red roses, or padded heart-shaped boxes. They make the stores look very chipper this time of year but they’re not for me. So, giving and getting on Valentine’s Day is a little bit harder. But I refuse to ignore the holiday because frankly, any excuse to love and be loved seems like a good one to me. In my hunt for gift-giving ideas I ran across several things I thought worthy of sharing. (and a couple I can’t share with you because they’re sold out, arrrgh.) All of them would be unique “vessels” for your personal love message – some more literally than others. I’ll assume that you, dear reader, are smart enough to decide how to add your own Sweet Nothings to each item. My favorite has got to be the spare change spy coins– they’ve got secret compartments. Seriously, what self-respecting adult male doesn’t like spy gear?
