What I learned yesterday
There are some things I could live my whole life without knowing.
Anyway, yesterday I was looking at the blog stats. One of the web thingies I subscribe to suggests that you can make a passive income from writing a blog by having advertisements on it. I'm not ready for that, I don't think, but every now and again, I look to see how many people read the thing. After all, if nobody read it, there's really no point in writing the thing, save for my own sanity.
One of the search terms that popped up in the blog stats yesterday was "dale cooper big God". That interested me because in the back of my mind, I know I'd written something about telling your problem how big your God is. I looked through the blogs from 2012 for an hour and couldn't find it. But clicking on that bing search that showed up in my stats revealed a couple of things.
First off, there is/was a chaplain at a college that shares my name so, I can't say with any certainty that whoever was looking for that particular subject was looking for something I'd written. When I recalled where I'd written on that subject (not on the blog, of course), I kind of doubt it was someone looking for what I'd recalled writing. You never know, though, so in the off chance it was, I need to say it was a private message so look elsewhere to find what you're looking for.
But there was more the search results revealed. I knew about the "Twin Peaks" character. I didn't know of the other um, for lack of a better word, entertainer(?) and Huffingtonpost contributor that shares the same first and last name. I could have lived the rest of my life not knowing that. Let me save you the time of looking for yourself by saying trust me, you don't want to know either.
The world is a strange place and if you'll allow me a private observation, seems to be lacking in shame these days.
