Sometimes no news is good news

Today, like every second weekday, started out a little uneasy for me as it was my business partner's (Robert) turn to drive us to work. I think the uneasiness (and I'm sugar coating the feeling quite a bit here) leads us (well at least me) to chat a little less about our business and about what's going on in the world that we can solve. I don't know about you, but I find it somewhat difficult to focus upon the world's problems when I'm trying to calculate the probabilities of making it to the next traffic light safely, but I think I'm getting a little better at it (perhaps I'm starting to fear death slightly less than before). On the positive side, I seem to appreciate my life (and even sometimes my job) a little more every second day as well, once I arrive at work.

Anyway, here's what was on my mind this morning as I was catching up on what's going on out there. Like every responsible adult (maturity level was not considered when choosing the term "adult") I have my homepage set to a site providing me with the most recent news from around the world (my choice is MSN), so I can start my day in the know, if you will. However, it often amazes me what things actually make the news. Like Pam Anderson and Kid Rock's SHOCKING break-up or Britney Spears hanging around with Paris Hilton and forgeting to put on her underwear ... why is this news to people? We all already know that any celebrity marriage will ultimately end, regardless of the number of times the same couple gets married (by the way, if you get married to the same person 3 times in 3 separate places, when you break up does it also count as 3 divorces? Or are they only getting divorced in one State but remaining married in two others? These are the types of things I'd like to see in the news ... something we can all learn from).

And the whole young, drunken, forgetting to wear underwear and then letting someone take your picture thing is also not news or even somewhat surprising anymore. By the way Britney, now listen closely to me sweetheart, you may be interested in acquiring a very fashionable "Where not only the eagles are bald" thong from Cross the Line Designs. That way you stay a little warmer plus we'll still get the idea without you actually having to show us everything ... just a suggestion ....

Now, here's my plea to MSN (but don't take me wrong, you're still one of my favorite sites): please give me some REAL news to talk about (and maybe even make some t-shirts about) ... you're killing me here!
