Extra! Extra! Read all about it!

In the land of webdom, the strings of information sat idle in their
kingdoms while packets came in and out to feed the non-binary friends
of data.

Have I got your attention?
How many times do we judge the content of things by reading the
labels, titles, or seeing the graphics, photos, faces, etc.?

I'll let you think on that, while you read some funny things i found
via the web...

On facebook I saw my good friend Bruce write about his needs - I
thought, hey?! Bruce has needs besides the ones he sometimes shares? -
I clicked and read {I picked and ate}
It was funny needs, not the usual needs one finds everyday. They were
googled needs and I had good fun reding his "needs" that I tried it on
myself!

The idea is to google "yr_name needs" and make a note of the top 10
results. So I googled "Malcolm needs" and got bored with the results -
Malcolm Needs is a guy - his name is Malcolm and his surname is Needs.
Next I tried my popular short name, Malcs. "Malcs needs" only got two
results. Finally I tried a name that only a few of my friends call me,
Malc. This got my funny bone laughing so loudly that my elbow
complained to my brain.

These are the top 10 results for "Malc needs" and my comments are
within [square] brackets:
1. Malc needs help !!
2. Malc needs smackers... 2 years ago. [huh? crayons perhaps?]
3. Malc needs to be on the weekly morning slot we all need a ...
[haha, true in a mean way...]
4. Malc needs to have a better game than Vasquez, and we need to
rebound well. [no comment..]
5. Malc needs to get the point. [yes..haha, guess i do]
6. Malc needs Pen Pals [see that? PEN, not email!]
7. Malc needs YOU(r telephone numbers) [do i?]
8. Malc needs to address this as Emily has had no response. [almost
answering my above query...]
9. Malc needs to read up a bit more on the benefits of saturated fats.
[ah ye..so they finally figured i'm not fat?]
10. Malc needs your help ! [indeed i do!]

I made the comment to Bruce that he should try the same using the
Pages from South Africa option.
I did the same, but Malc and Malcs returned nothing, so I used
"Malcolm needs" - not as funny, but fun anyway!
1. Malcolm Needs; Actors alongside
2. (Malcolm Needs); Poseidon Adventure
3. Malcolm needs to attend a funeral in Cape Town and will be away for
a full week. [haven't been to Cape Town in years]
4. Malcolm Needs by Anne Taylor.
5. Malcolm Needs and Starring... [yawn]
6. Malcolm Needs Producer [so I can launch my short filming career]
7. Malcolm Needs Proteus
8. Malcolm Needs Citizen Verdict
9. Malcolm Needs [it's open ended]
10. Malcolm Needs – Enigma Pictures

I needed to spice this up, so went onto the second page:
A. Malcolm Needs Video casette.
B. Malcolm, needs to be opened to see the quality.
C. Malcolm needs to develop self-esteem and confidence to meet the
right woman... [more confidence than self-esteem]

Have your eyes run away from facebook? Those ads on facebook look bad
in my eyes - dumb double images, 4btw.

Lastly, my friendships with people I made while on Ignite last year
are taking strain. I didnt quite realise what it would do to me if I
started working. Sure, I got friendships developing at the office, but
I'm wasted after work hours sometimes. I think it is because I have so
much fun. I do what I really enjoy - hands on technical with linux.
GUI is cool, but text is better..... I don't want my friendships to
disappear, so I've decided to come to youth on Fridays when I can so
that I can maintain friendships and develop new friendships!

Don't judge, period. As christians(disciples of Jesus) we should be
the example setters and refrain from judging books, sites, people,
food, etc. just from first glance.

As I finish these strings of informative characters, I'll dump them
into the idle kingdoms of the world wide web.
