I type this on a tear-splattered keyboard – my monitor is a blur, my fingers are heavy with sorrow. I, who is usually the perpetual cock-eyed optimist, suddenly find myself with a glass that is half empty. Completely thwarted. Why, God, why?! Let me start at the beginning…

It all begins in London, Ontario… two young thespians go to High School together.

One (Ryan Gosling) stars in a little Canadian TV show called Breaker High. In a cast filled with young pretty people, who would have thought that the dorky little blond guy would become a major Hollywood contender…?

Meanwhile, the other (Rachel McAdams) gets cast as Rob Schneider’s female counterpart in a little-seen movie called The Hot Chick…

Both cross paths again when they star in a much-balleyhooed (and much “boo hoo hooed”) movie called The Notebook. And love is born. A love that is so sweet, endearing, and so utterly Canadian that you have no choice but to root for the two sweethearts.

Then THIS disgusting headline comes along: Gosling confirms McAdams split.

Why not just punch me in the stomach, Ryan?! God! If these two can’t make it work, where does it leave the rest of us?!

I guess I now have to fill my home with cats and Precious Moments figurines. Ugh! We’re all doomed. DOOMED!
