Today in Snaqwells History

I'm going to take a moment, a day really, to celebrate an event that should have never had to happen. It's now after midnight here in Chicago, so it's Friday, September 24th. I will be returning home later today, and it will be a rather sentimental and emotional homecoming for me.

In June of 2009, I filed for divorce for reasons that really don't matter at this point. After a summer of deep animosity and struggle, during which she never gave up on me, I collapsed in a heap in a hotel room in Montana. I returned home that night, went to the house to help put the kids to bed; had a pleasant evening with her and then returned to my apartment. The next night, September 24th, was different. After putting the kids to bed, I returned again to my apartment and cried some more. Not 5 minutes after I got home, I called her on the phone. I told her I was going to call my attorney and tell him to call off the whole thing; and she told me to come home.

I won't go so far as to suggest every marriage can or should be salvaged; but in direct opposition to so many words I uttered in the summer of 2009, mine was both worthy and capable of being saved. We celebrated 12 years this past June, but today is my 1 year celebration of clarity.

That’s the Way We Do It In a Capitalist Society!

Chelsea

So today Chelsea Clinton is getting married. I heard somewhere that her CAKE cost $11,000. WOW...I hope that cake made itself. lol But that really isn't my point here. My point is..why am I hearing anyone that loves Capitalism bitch about how much is being spent on this wedding? If I had 5M dollars and my niece wanted a 5M dollar wedding..I'd give it to her. I personally don't understand spending that much on a dress you're only gonna wear once and things that will be gone by the end of the day like flowers, cake and chicken..but that's just me. I didn't hear anyone complain about how much Rush's last wedding cost....does anyone even know? Elton John was there...I'm guessing a buttload of money. But he has a buttload of money and in a free, capitalist society, if you want to pile your money in the front yard and set it on fire...that's your right.

I get so irritated, (to the point of wanting to punch people in the face) listening to people like Garafolo, Pelosi, and that crowd talk about "evil successful, rich, white people"...like they aren't successful, rich and white. And listening to them talk about "redistribution of wealth, and giving back" when they mean everyone but them. I get just as irritated listening to people in "our crowd" begrudge a woman, whose Daddy has the bucks, the wedding she wants.

So, Chelsea I hope your wedding is everything you hoped for and dreamed about when you were a little girl. And, I hope your marriage is a fun, interesting, strong, and lasting one.

Labor Day Funneh!

Do yourself a favor and check out this Tim Hawkins video.Â Not only is it funny, but it can be instructive too; especially for men who are less than tactful...
