Relationships and Love

Not a very dorky subject, but one that is going though my mind nonetheless. Why do we have them? If someone you love just leaves after two years you're crushed and they move on. Why do we allow ourselves to do that? I'm not sure but I think that it should be simpler. I'm also not sure how to make it simpler. It just has to be hard I guess, and that's not fair. We get into these relationships, knowing it'll probably end, but then we get so in love and so sure it'll last forever and then it's gone and our original thought comes true, and it hurts bad. All I can say is "love songs suck and fairy-tales aren't true" -thanks to Bowling For Soup!!

Movies on TV

So riddle me this: why does watching a movie on TV take 45 minutes to an hour longer than simply watching the DVD? Commercials. That's why. But why are they so many commercials? Why do TV channels find it necesary to play 45 minutes of 30 second long advertisements? I know it's technically to "make money" but if they're really that hard-pressed for money, should they even be trying to play that movie? Should they even have a TV channel at all?! Snow White and the Seven Dwarves came on TV tonight...it is 83 minutes long; the TV version was 120. Lord of the Rings 3 is 3 and a half hours long by itself...the TV version was 5 hours!! WTF WHY?!? I guess it's just how life works and I'll probably never understand...
