Whats On My Mind Right Now

I decided to write a blog mostly out of boredom but also on the off chance someone will read it. It isn't that I have anything truly important to say but I figure if I put what I am thinking onto some form of permanent or semi-permanent media then I can stop thinking about it for a moment or two. I was sitting up this morning killing time before I had to go to work when I came across a story about Tiger Woods' affairs. It isn't that I expect people to completely ignore a story like that but I the fact that I can't go to a news website or a sports website without seeing at least two or three articles about it. It's like somehow by cheating on his wife he let down all of his fans. I strongly disagree with that sentiment. It's not that I condone his actions but at the end of the day Tiger is a professional golfer; nothing more and nothing less. We should not expect that because he gets millions of dollars that he won't make mistakes that any human being to make. I fail to understand how it is always such a shock when a celebrity of any kind does something they shouldn't. The best part is that out of all of these people that are making such a big deal out of this that there are at least a few that have cheated on their own spouses. Wouldn't it be easier to let these people deal with their own mistakes? Maybe the reason it bothers me so much it that it reeks of jealousy and/or self-righteousness. Tiger Woods' infidelity isn't really any one's concern but his and his wife's regardless of our opinion.
