I was searching for information today and discovered that people prefer useless information to useful information. Huh? Yes, that’s right. There are more searches on the Internet everyday for the term “useless information” than for the term “useful information“. Don’t believe me? Check out this chart.
Is all the news bad and is it simply time to stop watching bad news? Let’s have a look at my recent viewing of news. I was not seeking bad news. In fact, I prefer good news. But here’s what I got.
There are many different ways to wake up. You can’t control them; they just are. I liked the way I woke today. Normally, I wouldn’t have liked it because I woke up too early. When you wake up too early, it often means that you did not get enough sleep. Who wants to start a new day without enough sleep …
Catching up on the upcoming weekend in sports on ESPN.com, I just came across a story entitled Book: Williams’ head abused at facility. This initially may not strike you as odd if you do not know the story.

Do you know that today, there are hundreds of people who are going to visit google or other search engines and type in the following: “What are the most lucky mega numbers played?” You might be one of them. But …
Yesterday, I did not go to church because I was watching the PGA Golf tournament. One of the ten commandments says: I am the LORD your God: you shall not have strange Gods before me! Was I putting golf before God? Was golf my strange God?
When it comes to July 4th celebrations, the place to be is Hermosa Beach, California. My friends and I celebrated our independence last year on The Strand in Hermosa Beach. The Strand is the sidewalk area just behind the beach but in front of the houses. The Strand carries weight. People use and abuse this term regularly, so much so …

Last night, I sat down to watch the evening news when I heard: Michael Jackson is dead. My first reaction was utter disbelief–he’s too young to be dead! We received no clues, no warnings, no serious ill-health reports. For a moment, I thought they must have the report wrong. How could Michael Jackson be dead?
My uncle just came by for a visit. My uncle is a priest, a Jesuit priest no less. If you want to get technical, they’re super-priests. My uncle has like 5 masters degrees. Jesuits are uber-educated as they have to study for like 13 years before becoming full-fledged Jesuits. It’s great-you to get to keep going to school well beyond …
Are you a know-it-all? If so, I have one piece of information that you do not know: You annoy everybody! There are two kinds of know-it-alls: know-it-alls who know nothing and know-it-alls who actually do know almost everything. I am not sure which is more annoying.

This morning I was checking out the latest Top Rap Songs and came across a rap video performed on…Southwest Airlines? How great is Southwest Airlines for allowing their employees to exercise creativity like this? Let’s see…small seats, old airplanes, no assigned seating…but I always enjoy flying Southwest because of things like this. They just do things right. Clearly the passengers …
Over three million people have viewed this video on You Tube of Tricia Walsh Smith, the present and future ex-spouse of Philip Smith, a theatre executive worth about sixty million dollars. In the video, she lambastes her husband for many things: that he is not giving her what she deserves, his sexual ineptitude, his infidelities…basically, his entire character. This is …
I recently read about Dr. Phil and Robin McGraw Divorce Rumors. I never thought Dr. Phil would make my Top Ten 10 Fraudulent self-help gurus list, but, if this news is true, he certainly might. I cannot say I was delighted with this news (who wants to wish ill on someone?) but it won’t disrupt my day. Dr. Phil …
