So, it's been awhile

I haven't blogged in months -as you probably haven't noticed, seeing as there are actually 3 or 4 people who know this blog existed. Ah well. What started as an idea to blog has become a failure in my eyes. Perhaps my life is too boring or I'm simply too lazy to share my thoughts. I will try to change that in the upcoming months. Maybe I can catch a spark and get this thing rolling.

Time will tell.

OK, so what I want to know is when is accepting an aplogy acceptable? Tough sentance to swallow but bare with me. The reason I ask is due to all the crap that celebrities have been getting caught with. Whether it's David Letterman banging his co-workers for promised promotions or athletes stealing or betting on games, or just your average Joe cheating on his wife or your average Jane following suit.

When you say you are sorry, how the hell is someone supposed to believe it or take it to heart? Let us use Letterman as an example. Would it have been better for him to tell his wife after his affairs occured rather than wait until he's being blackballed? Would the consequences be any different? I highly doubt it, but would he be able to slavage anything in his wife's eyes that he can not do now?

Most of the apologies and scandals revolve around affairs, whether it be a man or a woman. This brings me to ask another question -- is it unrealistic to believe you will remain faithful to your partner during marriage? Aren't men and women attracted to the oppoosite sex by nature? Hasn't it been this way since the days of Adam and Eve? I'm not saying it's right to mess around (I've personally never done it while in a relationship) but is it something that should end a marriage? Will the scope of things change in the near future, or in the next century?

I'd like to hear your thoughts, if nothing else, for food of thought.
