Really?! with Seth and Katie (well without the Seth)

Okay, it is bothering me how much this Sandra Bullock thing is bothering me. I don’t know her. It is really none of my business, but I keep finding myself really feeling hurt for her and so sad. What is that about!? Maybe because she is an Austin transplant. Maybe because my family swears she was playing a dark-haired version of me in “The Thing Called Love”. I don’t know. My husband says I get too involved in other people’s problems and, apparently, this now extends to random celebrities I’ve never met (or Ms. Bullock’s case, met only once).

I dabble in the more respectable tabloids, People, etc. for fun and entertainment, but there is nothing fun or entertaining about this. Maybe I should start reading something less depressing, like the Wall Street Journal. First, I sort of felt for Mr. James. Everyone can make a mistake and he seemed truly grief stricken about it. I truly believe that you can be unfaithful for reasons that don’t make you a terrible person. The man broke America’s Sweetheart’s heart- he was going to be in for it no matter what. But now the hoes (how do you pluralize that word) are coming out of the woodwork and the previously settled sexual harassment lawsuits are coming to light and it is just so disheartening. A one-time mistake is a whole other thing from spreading it around town. I refuse to be one of those women that contend that all men are dogs. I just don’t generalize that way, but with the Tiger thing just cooling down and now this dominating the press, and any one of the “he done me wrong” stories you can hear from 1 out of 10 women on the street, it makes one wonder.

I recognize that men are very different than women, especially when it comes to sex, but REALLY?! Is it really so difficult? If a man is so distracted by and interested in and actually getting with so many different women, why not just stay unmarried? Why pull wives and kids and grandparents and family pets into the mix to be hurt? It’s just not logical. Then again, what about love and sex and emotion is logical? I know I don’t want to be with someone that doesn’t want to be there. I don’t think anyone does, but what is so sad is that some of these guys must want to be there on some level, but just not enough. So, Sandra I say to you, since of course you are reading my blog, keep your lovely head up. Remember it really isn’t you, it’s him and I hope you handle this in whatever way you see fit. Oh and you were fabulous in Hope Floats- just sayin.
