There’s Nothing

Let’s be honest, ok?

You google yourself. You just do. You’re curious. You’re intrigued. You’re bored. And mostly, you’re just vain. But whatevs, no skin off your nose.

And hey, by the same token, you google other people, right? Ex-girlfriends and boyfriends, your family, people you went to high school with, old enemies of yours, new ones… I mean, you’ll run anything through trusty old Google.

But what’s the most frustrating? When someone comes up with nothing. That always boggles my mind. Like surely, you were in some dumb club in college or h.s. that has a website right? Or you ran in some charity race sponsored by Chili’s. Or there’s some interview from college with the school newspaper.

Or probably you have some crappy work site that has a dumb picture of you up there. Or of course there’s some self-indulgent website like the one you’re reading right now. But every once in a while, there’s a person who just comes up with:

Your search did not match any documents.

Are these people purposely trying to avoid any sort of web presence whatsoever? These are the people that say they never watch tv. Or they don’t see movies. They don’t trust computers. They prolly own a typewriter.

But people, you’re really hurting yourselves. Because otherwise we can find out some fascinating things. Like for instance, there’s this girl I used to hang out with from college. Not only did she win a hundred large on The Weakest Link, now, apparently she’s a bodybuilder! How insane is that?

So anyway, what’s my point? Put something up on the web. If only so we can find it later. You’ll thank me for this later.
