A New Feature...

In case you didn't notice, I added a new feature to my blog...right up there. As a way to incorporate one of my favorite things in life, Facebook and Twitter, I added my version of a Status Update titled "On my mind now...". So, now you can all get a feel for my mood every day...aren't you lucky? ;)

For those of you who are my friends on Facebook or follow me on Twitter, you know that one day I may be having sort of a Bi-Polar Status Update kind of day. What I mean by that is, I may post a few different updates throughout the day because, apparently, I have a lot going on in my little noggin. Then, I may go a few days without changing it at all. Anyway, it may change a few times a day, or it may only change a few times a week. I guess you'll all just have to come back and see.

So, I hope you enjoy getting a better feel for who I am on a day to day basis!

I Am Disgusted...

Ok...this pains me to mention because I pride myself on my ability to remain open-minded. I really try to look past what is on the surface and find the shine in everyone and everything below. But, I can not accept or tolerate Polygamy. I watched the first season of the show "Sister Wives" on TLC and am watching the new season now, and I constantly find myself shaking my head in disapproval. I know that I am being judgmental about something that I don't really understand and can't relate to so, I should probably just shut up and view it for the pure purposes of education. But, I feel that I have every right to voice my opinion about this topic. If the Brown family feels comfortable with putting their lives out on TV for public ridicule or acceptance, than I feel that I am entitled to express my view as I see it.

For anyone unfamiliar with this show, it is about a family of Polygamists. One man legally married one woman and then had ceremonies to marry 3 more women. They have many children whom he has fathered with 3 of the 4 women as he only just married the 4th last season and, while they are corrupt in what they see marriage to be...and yes...I do believe their idea of marriage is corrupt...they do hold old traditions as important, such as no premarital sex. Anyway, the show follows them in their day to day lives. And, it leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth.

The worst of it all comes right in the beginning montage. The husband, Cody, says "Love should be multiplied, not divided". That statement is wrong in two ways that I can think of. One is the fact that he believes that because it serves his purposes. Of course he thinks love should be multiplied...because he's letting his freak flag fly with 4 different women. He is multiplying the crap out of his sexual urges. The second reason it is wrong is because, whether he gets it or not, love is being "divided". The women are dividing his love up amongst themselves. They aren't dividing themselves amongst one another or even other men. They are giving themselves to him entirely while he is spreading himself around like horse shit...errr, I mean...fertilizer. And so, that begs the question I had last season that Cody answered in one episode. One of the wives asked him how he would feel if she were giving her attention to another man. He told her, in total honesty, that he wouldn't like it. Well then...I guess that says it all. He wants his cake and to eat it too and that makes me sick.

I have so many more thoughts about this show and their lifestyle but, this is all I care to say about it...at least for now.
