One of the things I thought I would miss but don't is the news. Since I've changed my web browser landing page to blank and cut off NPR in the car, I get all of my news updates via conversations with coworkers.
Most days I don't hear about anything, which shows me that most news is essentially formalized gossip. For example, I heard that Hillary conceded to Obama. Believe it or not, that information didn't change my life! And, even though I know the world's journalists were tripping over themselves to be the first to report it, I could have heard about it a week or two after the fact with no negative implications.
I believe most news falls into this category. And yet, much of my time prior to this month was spent gathering that type of information.
Ditch the media!!!
That's what I'm talking about!

- PBdaddy
- I'm just an average, 40-something white guy who does this for a creative outlet. I don't claim to be consistent, coherent, or cogent, but I am obtuse at times, so maybe that makes up for it. I don't claim to have any answers, just questions, observations, and, on occasion, a bit of tongue-in-cheek humor to share.
