Interesting Divorce Stats in United States

We all know that divorce is on the climb in the United States. Theres that saying that there are more divorces than successful marriages. But, has anyone looked under the hood to see the real stats. Well here they are, and there are some quite interesting ones in there:

Divorce is as common in the Florida Keys as fresh grouper and cold beer. Census statistics released this week show that Monroe County — which includes the cluster of 1,700 islands floating off South Florida — has the second-highest proportion of divorced residents. A little more than 18 percent of the people living in Monroe County are divorced, second only to Indiana’s Wayne County, which had 19 percent. Nationwide, 10.7 percent of people over 15 are divorced.

Three of the top 10 counties the divorced call home are in Florida — rural Putnam County in Northeast Florida and urban Pinellas County on the Gulf Coast are the other two. Indiana had a total of three counties in the top 10 as well. Along with Wayne County, Floyd and Madison counties made the list.

Newly released census figures show that while the number of unmarried people continued its 10-year climb, the ranks of married people in the United States rose by nearly 6 million last year, bucking a decade-long decline. The number of divorced people rose, but only slightly.

Among the other marriage- and divorce-related findings from the census data:

• The number of unmarried people climbed to about one-third of all Americans over 15.

Oklahoma has the highest rate of people who have been married three times or more.

Utah and Idaho tied for the youngest median bride age, at 23.5 years old.

Its no wonder why sites that deal with married and dating are on the rise in popularity, to the point where they now guarantee you a divorce, now thats balls!

Damn Bitches are on a Killin Spree

Lately in the news, you’ve been hearing about girlfriends and wives killing their man.  Steve McNair in his sleep, Gatti while in Brazil…. daaaam. I guess in some way, when you live the lavish lifestyle, you die in this manner as well. McNair is married and with a girlfriend. I know that sites like ashleymadison are flurishing for dating while married, but is it the norm now!

Stop Bashing Caffeine Already

You have many nay sayers trying to sway people away from caffeine. How its not good for you, all these things could happen, yada yada yada. Caffeine has been around for centuries and their has been published reports recently on how caffeine (400-500mg worth) can help cure / reverse alzheimers. I’m sure the energy shot companies like FIXX Extreme are loving this.

But in all seriousness, c’mon people. We all know that kids shouldnt be taking a huge amount of caffeine, but we have no problem to make these kids fat porkers, at least in the United States. How about trying to watch their diet, get them away from the internet/tv to exercise, get them off ridilin cause you did a shitty job raising them.. the list can continue here if you like…..

Underlying Hate with Michael Jackson Coverage

The ironic thing with all this Michael Jackson coverage is the underlying hate that is building, especially within the United States. Similar to the OJ Simpson case, the public is reminded of MJ relationships with children. Regardless of his past statements and beliefs, his behavior with children is flat out wrong. While he was acquittent, it is extremely apparant that money can buy you out of many issues in the court of law. While his settlement got him acquitted, the public still believes he was a pedophilic.

The hate undertone is being built… where it goes, we will have to wait and see

Media’s Coverage of Michael Jackson is KILLING Me

In less than 48 hours, we had 3 high profile deaths : Ed Mcmahan, Farah, and Michael Jackson. We have the unrest in Iran… and what is all over CNN… Michael Jackson…. its just wrong in so many ways… the next few weeks this will play into many angles.

What’s extremely upsetting is that news has stopped, nothing, and I mean nothing, has made its way to the public…. The media just wont shift gears at all here… ugh.. frustrated

March Madness Brings Some Interesting Energy Sponsors

March madness is always a media blitz.  You get the desired 18-35 age group with a high percentage college educated. Which many believe has a greater exposure to becoming sales.

One thing that is happening this year is the increase of energy shots. We all know the energy drinks, the red bull, monster, etc… but energy shots, has been growing in popularity. The most popular one is 5 hour energy. A small 2 oz bottle that is “suppose” to give you 5 hours of energy. The marketing plan, more like the gimmic behind it, is quite clever. Every consumer is looking for that boost of energy, without the side effects. The problem is, most of it is a big smoke screen. Most of the energy shot is truly junk.

Then the best part, is you have all those copy cats out there saying their energy shot is better. 6 hour energy, 7 hour energy.. c’mon now! What gets me boiling is the lack of innovation out there. I came across once site that has 400mg of caffeine energy in one teaspoon of liquid.. now thats a powerful punch

Are the Demons within AROD, or in NY

You have this all star in AROD. He shot up in Seattle, brought the big money in TX, then the megastardom in the Bronx with the $300 million dollar NY Yankees contract. So now what? The guy has hit his peak, and he’s only 33. Has a stunning wife (past tense now), and just is lost out there. Throw in a Madonna affair and who knows how many strippers….

The question that needs to be asked : Is this AROD at his core, or are the temptations in NY too much?

Its ironic right? I mean your wants in life dictate how you handle success. Someone like Jeter seems on top of his game, but is also living his life in a much different fashion. It seems the AROD personality and need for attention is causing a shakeup in his life. Now don’t get me wrong, i’ll NEVER feel sorry for the guy. But you can definitely see personality traits in AROD with many people in our lives.

Is Cheating in Relationships the Silent Norm

Relationships. Couples. Many times, at some point in the relationship, one or both of the people involved cheat. Now why is that. By know means can someone from the outside take the higher ground and pass judgement. There are many many reasons why people stray, but generally there is a void in the existing relationships.

As the internet is allowing easier access to cheat, you are seeing cheating running rampant. It also seems that men and women can find their “non partner” through the internet. This holds true as their are MANY people in similar situation.

One side you can say thats ashame. On the other side, you have two adults that use a similar outlet to “feel better”. As the saying goes: Life Is Short – ““Have An Affair!
