Partners and Marriages by Eduardo Jose E. Calasanz

                   

Hi guys, I found this while I was blog hopping; it's a little long, but I hope you'll enjoy it like I did...

I have never met a man who didn’t want to be loved. But I have seldom met a man who didn’t fear marriage.Something about the closure seems constricting, not enabling. Marriage seems easier to understand for what it cuts out of our lives than for what it makes possible within our lives.

When I was younger this fear immobilized me. I did not want to make a mistake. I saw my friends get married for reasons of social acceptability, or sexual fever, or just because they thought it was the logical thing to do. Then I watched, as they and their partners became embittered and petty in their dealings with each other. I looked at older couples and saw, at best, mutual toleration of each other. I imagined a lifetime of loveless nights and bickering days and could not imagine subjecting myself or someone else to such a fate.
And yet, on rare occasions, I would see old couples who somehow seemed to glow in each other’s presence. They seemed really in love, not just dependent upon each other and tolerant of each other’s foibles.

Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen launch handbags worth $39,000

The Olsen twins have come a long way since their straight-to-video films of the 90’s and tween clothing collection for Wal-Mart. The twosome have become seasoned designers with their luxury apparel and accessory brand, The Row.

Now Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are expanding their brand by launching a handbag line with The Row.

The bags are sleek and elegant and modern and the twins will stop by Barney’s New York this week to launch the line with the bags available for purchase in August.

After four years of The Row, this is their first handbag line, although the brand does have a sunglass collection. And yes, the sunglasses are both oversized and perfect for celebrities who want to wear them indoors to avoid being “seen.”

The nine styles of bags include a day tote, backpack, doctor bag, a classic shoulder bag and minaudieres. So it seems backpacks are the new It Bags, or so Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are trying to tell us.

Believe it or not, these handbags cost $39,000. Whattttttttt? Yep! you heard rite!

Pharrell Williams, the man behind at least half of all of your favorite sounds and the leader of the production team The Neptunes, has announced that he's going into the liquor business, ya'll!

He'll be the cultural ambassador for Qream, and as he explains, it's all for the ladies. ....yeah! yeah!! yeah!!!

Sexuality Orientation & your Kids.

Early this morning, I read my friend's status on Facebook. She mentioned a current reality about homosexuality in which it is featured a lot in movies and T.V programs to promote its acceptance. Now this sexual orientation which is most common in Western world, is slowing gaining ground in this part of the world, Nigeria inclusive. Although, this sexual disposition is as old as the Bible, it is a sexual practice which is looked down on.

Personally, this is a sexual practice I find rather disgusting and I believe homosexuality and any other weird sexual practice other than the norm is  one of the greatest conspiracy theory  from Hell.  That aside, I've come to accept it as one of the craziness of this world.
