Divorce

It was interesting when I read this week's issue of Match.com magazine. One of the stories was on Divorce. They talked about rituals to celebrate it. So that caught my attention. The first was about this Australian ritual that someone would do for you for $500. Hmmm if this involves a bunch of beautiful women and me getting laid maybe. Another one was about burning sage to cleanse the area of my ex. I haven't lived in our old apartment in about 3 years. So all I think it would do is set off the smoke alarm. I did like the idea of having a divorce shower to replenish everything you lost. However since I have a room full of the crap that I'm saving for when I move back into an apartment it's not really practical.

I guess for me the divorce stuff just doesn't apply. I spent the last 5 years of marriage trying to save it. I told my friends I wouldn't leave till I tried it all so I would have no regrets. I've never had a day of regret since 7/27/04. I just want it legal now. So that brings me back to some kind of ritual. I remember talking to my brother years ago about how boys have no ritual that moves them to manhood. Women have their period. Guys, I don't know, first wet dream? Hmm so I'm looking for any ideas. What do you people think?

Just so that you know, menstruation isn't exactly a ritual.

Now, a Bat Mizvah, or Bar Mitzvah, a sweet 16 party, confirmation classes, things like that, are rituals.  

Perhaps you just need to develop your own, for you!
