One More Thing...

When I go to one of my email accounts, I’m met with a log in page which has “news” stories on it. Right near the top, right where I have to click to open my email, they have a little ribbon of scrolling thumbnails of what someone considers to be “Top Videos”. I never click on these thumbnails, unless it’s by accident. They almost always include things about how some so-called celebrity’s outfit “turns heads” or how they “wow” in some outfit. I Hate that stuff. I Hate those expressions.

First of all, who talks like that? I have never heard those expressions come up in conversation, thank God. I hope I never do. If I’m hanging around a crowd that talks like that, just shoot me and get it over with.

Second of all, in terms of the subject matter, Who Cares? If that’s what's important in my life, please see my comment above.

As for the "news stories, today there’s a story lower down with a headline that reads “Malls of the Future Might Blow Your Mind”. Really? I can’t wait to read it!

Why is someone wasting their time on this? I avoid stories that have headlines with words like “might” in them. Yeah, ok, it might happen. And I might buy a dog who learns how to talk and then won’t shut up.

Then again, I might not.

I actually started to read this thing- not because I was thinking “Oh Boy! What will the malls of the future look like? Please tell me- I MUST KNOW!!!”, but more to see just what this piece of journalistic road-kill looked like. I couldn't get past the first few lines. 

This is the kind of thing that, if written fifty years ago, would also have predicted that we would now be traveling around in flying cars and jet-packs, fueled by the nuclear reactors in our basements. To that, I can only say...

If you’re the type that can’t sleep at night unless you have answers to such burning hypotheses, you can read the article here. You might find it interesting.

Then again, you might not.
