Outraged By The Blogging Mistress!

On, Tuesday, November 13, 2007, I posted "Cheaper To Keep Her" where I talked about the irony, in my mind, of Michael Jordan's divorce. Yes, I slithered down into the grimy ranks of the paparazzi and tabloids by posting on a celebrity divorce. Yes, I know, I am always pontificating that the dregs of society spend enough time reporting these types of stories. Yet...I posted the story anyway.

Since then, an anonymous commenter provided a link with the address for the following blog: http://mjordanmistress.blogspot.com/. The author of this blog claims to be the mistress of Michael Jordan. U-N-B-E-L-I-E-V-A-B-L-E! Okay... while that role/status/title may give what some would call "bragging rights", I personally find it despicable. Better yet repulsive!

If you can't tell by my posts, I am 100% PRO marriage. Therefore, I abhor the very concept of infidelity. Which brings me to my current point...why in the HELL would someone write a blog detailing her affair with a married man? I am at a loss for words and yet I feel the urge to rant and rave and stamp my feet like a 2 year old bubbling to the surface of my rationality.

Regardless of how their relationship ended, Juanita Jordan spent years married to Michael Jordan, taking care of their home and raising their children. Who? I ask again Who would sink to lowest levels of humanity and write a blog for all mankind with access to the Internet to see? A blog detailing her tawdry affair? I am floored by the audacity of some people! And how humiliating it must be for public figures to have the intimate details of their relationship exposed.

Initially, when I saw the link I was intrigued. I thought...NO, couldn't possibly be real. After reading a couple of posts, I thought even if it's not real...what's the purpose. This psycho needs to find a rock to crawl under!

If my impassioned speech hasn't offended you...what are your thoughts?

The Psycho Ex-Wife

Previously, I posted about bad behavior following a breakup or divorce. A couple weeks later I "Mister M" posted here and provided a link to his sometimes comical, sometimes sad, very informative blog... "The Psycho Ex-Wife"

Check it out and let me know your thoughts. I have truly enjoyed it!

P.S. Pay special attention to the "Cast of Characters". My mother and I were reading and nodding our heads together in agreement. If nothing else, you may recognize someone you know...I know I did!

Achieving financial independence is often a challenge for either one or both parties after a break-up. Especially for married couples or non-married cohabitating couples. The combination of two incomes enables many couples to achieve a lifestyle that otherwise would be impossible to achieve alone. Yikes! The very thought of trying to compensate for the lost income is often overwhelming. How do I make ends meet? What happens if I have an emergency? No, I don't have an emergency fund! Hell, what is an emergency fund?

If you find yourself faced with this challenge you may be in luck. Especially if you own a computer, have access to the Internet, and have the ability to communicate effectively via writing. Why not blog for cash? Make extra income by writing about the things you are passionate about. Check out the salary graph above.
