Roses, please!

I can't believe I'm writing this post right now. I've succumbed to the masses. I should be ashamed of myself but I'm not. And because I know that everyone either knows what I'm talking about, because they either watched it or have a friendly neighbor who will fill them in, I will not recap last night's two episodes of the Bachelor. This is purely my thoughts on the evening.

The Bachelor. A clear-cut indication that women are not the only ones who don't know what they want in life. I've heard more then once from a male that women ALWAYS change their minds and never know what they want and if women could just improve upon this point, the world would be such a better place. False statement BOYS. Exhibit A: Jason M. What a punk to dump his fiancee do it on TV. He didn't HAVE to do it in front of all of the world. I curse him here and now to remain a bachelor forever. That's kind of rude of me, huh? I'll take it back and settle with the universe taking care of things, what goes around comes around. I firmly believe in that principle.

Melissa. Loved her response to him. Specificially I thought her name for him was very fitting. Now, I don't think, personally, it's the kindest, most respectful word in the English language, but he deserved it.

Molly. Poor girl. Men (and women) don't change that easily. He's going to do it again. Wake up, girl! He's a playa.

You know what my question has been through the whole show? What about his ex-wife? What happened to their relationship. I know he's repeatedly said they're friends. That's like the most cliche thing to say when you break up, spouse, or boyf or girlf or best friend, "Oh, we still get along great!" False. It really means you smile and are cordial when you see them in person. That's it. What I'm thinking is a marriage/relationship is very much a two-way thing, so is a break-up of any kind. Obviously, and now very apparently, we know that Jason has lot's of issues. Why were these never discussed on the show? Why were just constantly nit-picking girls without focusing on the guy with the issues? Why did we never get his ex-wife's take on things? Why isn't the media asking these questions? Maybe I should have been a pop culture, soft news, fluff journalist.

Oh, and my friend at work sent me this, Chris Harrison's Blog. It's entertaining and thought provoking. I like the angle he takes on things and the time perspective he gives. Final quesiton: How many hours did I invest in this reality show? I don't want to talk about it.
