(no subject)

didn't i make it clear already? i have nothing to say. i don't need any more closure...it's closed, and it has been for a long time.

life takes spontenaity, but the old ball and chain ought to take thought.

i'm watching the olympics. the ads came on, and visa has this new catch phrase..."life takes visa." to build up to that, they list off all these "inspirational" qualities that life takes...joy, talent, etc. one of them is spontenaity.

okay, i agree that being spontaneous is something that life takes. but, there was something about that part of the ad that really disturbed me. the visuals for that part of the ad showed a wedding chapel, and a couple getting married.

maybe it's my commitment-phobia and my distaste for marriage. i don't know. but, am i stupid to think that marriage and spontaneous should not go in the same sentence? it's one of those lifelong, irrevocable decisions...either you'll stay with that person for the rest of your life, or you will deal with the drama of the divorce for a long time to come. it's a decision that takes deliberate decision-making and thought.

show people on a rollercoaster. show people dancing in the rain. show people deciding to buy gum or a stupid magazine in the checkout aisle of their local supermarket. but, please, don't show marriage as a spontaneous thing, when it ought to be the furthest thing from that.

besides, they might give stupid people either ideas or validation...both bad things for idiots to have.
