Awful Beautiful Life

Scrounging around the dumpster that is the mainstream media, digging for something worthy of my comment, I came across this strange piece of gossip. I can imagine how disappointing this would be for a man, but he must not have known the character of the woman he was with.

The other amazing part of this gossip column is the request for privacy. I've always been astounded at how people will ask for privacy on a matter they've completely expounded on online. If you don't want people to know what is going on in your personal life, the internet is a very strange place to tell them that, after telling them what's going on. If you don't want crazy people following you to work, don't tell them where you work. Don't post your picture if you don't want people knowing what you look like. Don't tell people the details of your tragic situation and then ask them to stay out of it. Seems elementary to me, but that is just me.
