Comprised of essays, musings, and meanderings, these articles will make you go Hmmm...
I am, like, sitting in the café, you know, next to two girls, who use “Like” and “You Know” every other word.
They are, like, surprised, you know, that they are unable to, like, get the job that they want…you know.
And, like, I just don’t understand it. You know.
It’s like employers don’t understand brevity.
I recently had a Skype chat with my friend Lynne about sex and the 3 categories of women.
Lynne is French, resides in London, and she runs a Sex in the City type of blog about being single in the city of London. She mentioned to me that she had not had sex in awhile. She speculated that, at this point in her life, she was dormant. Her femininity was there and ready to be activated but, currently, she had no libido. She joked that she should rename her blog No Sex in The City.
So, I said: “I wonder what category you fall into?”
Michael Lewis Princeton Speech, 2012
Michael Lewis, author of the acclaimed books “Liar’s Poker” and “Moneyball”, delivered the baccalaureate speech at Princeton on June 3rd, 2012 and put forth some interesting theories regarding the role of luck in successful people.
These words have caused quite a stir, most notably among successful people who refuse to acknowledge that luck played quite a role in their successes.
I was recently adding some how to videos to the home page of my site when I came across a web page that allows you to Put Your Face on a Dancing Body. This site is called JibJab and they not only allow you to put your face on a dancing body but you can also put your face on another body.
You know those moments that you intend to be productive and then get completely sidetracked by some new Internet thing. You will get definitely get sidetracked with jibjab. It is so much fun.
After having just finished a book by Jimmy Buffet entitled A Salty Piece of Land, I got to thinking about who I would rather be: Jimmy Buffet or Warren Buffet?
Considering my surroundings at the moment, a beautiful sunny beach on the coast of South America, the decision was really a “no-brainer”.
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 the night before?
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.
Are you feeling lucky? There’s a lottery going on right now and you could run out and buy a ticket.
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 you might not want to win the lottery today. This sounds silly I know (who would not delight in winning $3,000,000 today?). But experts say that “excessive wealth, particularly for people unaccustomed to it, such as lottery winners, can actually cause unhappiness.” In fact, over 1/3 of lottery winners end up declaring bankruptcy.
