Googling Yourself
May 15th, 2009 - Uncategorized - 13 Comments »Is it vain to Google yourself? Probably. But I decided to give it a try anyway. Man, am I glad I did. Here are some of the gems that I came across (that have nothing to do with me).
1. This romance novel with Tyler Stanton as the main character. Please (oh please) read this book description:
Genevieve Courtney thought of life at her bed and breakfast as routine and ordinary, and that’s just the way she liked it. When Tyler Stanton appeared before her, tall and handsome in his firefighter’s uniform, she wondered if she was being given a second chance at love. But nothing good ever comes easy. Could Tyler’s love and strength overcome all obstacles on the way to their love of a lifetime?
2. This video of a 12-year-old Tyler Stanton doing the robot. It is the first video that comes up in Google when you search my name.
3. This dating service profile of Tyler Stanton. Or should I call him Free Rider, his self-given nickname? Here is how he describes himself (in his one chance to tell the world what he is all about):
i live 2 work and i work 2 live. i ride my bike wen i can but it urs 4 a price.
4. These fan sites of former American Idol contestants run by, you guessed it, Tyler Stanton.

And she’s about it. According to Google, I might not even exist.
Well, between the 31 year old Brian Krawczyk who abucted an 8-year old girl in New York and the international tree climbing champion, I’d say I prefer being known as an ISA-certified arborist.
Apparently, I’m a famous athletic trainer known as “The Speed Guy.”
First it asks me if I meant “Mack Mitchell”… Thanks douche.
Second, apparently I am a 246 pound 6’7 Defensive end for the Browns.
Everything below that is actually me and not interesting…
Uh. The first five options are all really about me. Apparently, being on facebook is a high ranking item.
When you search Anna Sexton, there is a nice girl from California that says “I like pot and nothing else.” Thanks for making my job search that much harder, Anna.

Interestingly enough Stantoniouston, the first reference of me on Google really is me — on your website. What the heck? I have my own blog and it is pretty successful. Did you really need to post this fake blog entry just to show me that your blog is better than mine?
That is low Stantoniouston, really low.
Mine is the football player, of course, who played first for Coastal Carolina, then the Chiefs, and now…who knows. The entries go something like this:
Tyler Thigpen highlights
Tyler Thigpen stats
Tyler Thigpen screensavers
Tyler Thigpen’s girlfriend
Tyler Thigpen sucks
Tyler Thigpen violates a skeleton
I even own tylerthigpen.com, which I thought about selling to him for $$$$ until the whole skeleton debauchery. But still I don’t show up on Google until page 22.
