Bret Michaels thinking about settling down...

The buzz is that Bret is about 50/50 on whether or not to become engaged to his long-time girlfriend. They've been together on and off for 16 years, and have two kids together.

Forgive me, but I kinda laughed. After 16 years, and two kids, Wouldn't you already have the marriage question figured out? I mean, how much more do you have to know about a person to be able to make a decision one way or another? And what's the point now, anyway? I mean, I have nothing against living together forever or whatnot, but if it's working this long, why mess with it? And if it ain't...Bret, honey, a word of advice...marriage ain't gonna fix it.

I think the divorce rates for couples that finally marry after several years together are actually pretty high. I'm sorta pulling that out of my ass though.

I'm also wondering what the point would be.

I get the feeling Bret just wants a home. And by home, I mean a place he can just go, take off his bandana, cry tough, and be balding and 45. And he feels marriage is the gateway to that. I wish him the best and hope that this rose holds no thorns for him.

I still want him to marry Heather from the first Rock of Love.

Which there is probably still a chance for because they'd probably get their own reality show from it guaranteed.
