The Kennedys

My roommate and I spent all last week following along with "the Kennedys" series.  I knew a lot of the stuff that happened back then, but I learned a LOT of new thing too.  I really enjoyed watching it and getting an inside look at the lives of the Kennedys and the people surrounding them.  Even if it was a controversial series and may or may not have had all the facts straight (I have no idea), it was a great TV series and I was hooked from the first episode. 

I really felt for the Kennedys and the people in the US during that time period.  I felt like I was one of them myeslf while watching.  I wasn't born until 1991, but I could picture myself as a citizen of the US in the 60s, voting for JFK, supporting him, watching him on TV, and hearing about his tragic death also.  It was all so real to me, and then I'd have to take a step back and remind myself, This was real

I watch a lot of movies and TV shows, and the fact that I was so hooked on this show like I am on "The Secret Life of the American Teenager" or "Grey's Anatomy" kind of shocked me.  "The Kennedys" is a story of people's real lives!  And real events that are a part of the history of the US. That's CRAZY! It was a great experience for me.  I will never think of the Kennedys the same way again.  And I feel like I got the chance to live through that time period through this TV show, even though I wasn't even born until 30 years later. 

I have a great respect for Jack, Bobby, their wives, their children, and their parents.  Jackie lost her husband, while he was sitting right next to her.  He was shot dead.  It could have been her.  Maybe she would have preferred it to have been her.  Mr. Kennedy suffered a stroke and was never the same again.  How horrible would that be if it were your father?  He couldn't speak, couldn't walk, and then his sons were both shot dead!  And Ethel!  After dealing with Bobby and Jackie after Jack's death, then Bobby was shot and killed too?  It's such a terrible thing.  I am sorry that they had to deal with that, and I'm sorry that Bobby and Jack had to die that way.  It was an eye-opening experience for me, and I loved every minute of it.

more than 8 million men and women are looking to cheat

Apparently, more than 8 million men and women are looking to cheat on their husbands, wives, fiances, and partners.  I am so shocked and it makes me so sad to have read this!  It makes me wonder if I have a chance at being happily married, which I so want to be.  Check out the link to the article below, or just take my word for it.  Cheaters are alive and well in the world, and there are over 8 million of them.  That number still makes me cringe.  And wonder if I will become one of them.  If I'll have some of the same issues in my marriage.  Or if I'll even be happy later in life.  I read somewhere recently that the Earth is moving into some other area of orbit instead of the one we've been in for the last "really long time."  I think we're moving into Neptune?  Maybe?  Anyway... It's supposed to be the time of love, and maybe we'll all successfully find our life partners and be happily married.  Maybe the divorce rate will go down.  Anything is possible if you just believe right?  Well, I hope I didn't thoroughly depress anyone, or piss them off, or anything else negative.  This article was interesting and sad and made me think a lot.  So i wrote it all down.  Enjoy!
