what's the coolest/weirdest thing that shows up when you google your name?

Posted at

here's me:

weirdest: this drawing of a dragon I did in seventh grade

coolest: this art sort of critical essay that mentions me! Actually I just discovered that it was online. Who knew I engaged in the reversal of Lacanian theory? What does that even mean? Who's Lacan again?

anyway, this might not work for those of you with names like bob jones… but I'm interested anyway!

This article about two murderers. One of them also has my brothers name, which is kind of spooky.

There was also an incredibly racist short story I wrote when I was sixteen. I deleted that a while ago, though.

Awww…such a cute dragon!

And my name is sooo common that there are tens of thousands of hits including a famous writer (I have some published stuff too but this guy is all over the place), teachers, janitors, you name it. The cool thing is that I can pretend to be any of them if I want… of course for the most part they are a pretty boring lot :)

Werid:

slightly unrelated to the Google search… but once a upon a time this guy kept on calling my phone, asking for me with my full name. he would claim to have met me at an bar or have done things with me that I didn't recall ever doing AT ALL. not to mention I had never seen this guy before…

so I thought he was just some creepy, insane weirdo or something. He even got super pissed off when my father answered the phone while he was over here one time, thinking it was some guy I was apparently "cheating" on him with. now on to the weird Google story part…

Anyway, I then heard that you could Google somebody's full name and the state to get their phone number or something online, so I tried that. guess what? to my surprise, both MY phone number and this other woman's phone number appeared. apparently, there was another woman who had the EXACT FULL NAME as I did living in the same EXACT state as I were. what was the odds? not to mention our phone numbers were pretty close together… so it seemed that the guy who kept on calling me weren't insane… he just kept on botching up our phone numbers together.

Anyway, I didn't like the fact that anybody who could Google my full name and state could get my phone number so easily, but lucky there was a way to remove the phone number off Google so I did it.

And then I goggled my full name and my state some more, and apparently the other woman who had my name and lived in the same state I did, was some sort of sports director who organized sporting events… mainly hockey and things like that.

And you know something? ever since I removed my phone number from Google, I haven't had any problems with HER boyfriend calling me. :p talk about weird!

Coolest:
well, I did manage to discover that my old geocities website was still up even long after I abandoned it… so I was able to reread some of my old stuff, since it was an fan fiction site. :p it brought back some old memories, that was for sure.

I googled my username, and THIS was result two:



I guess if there's ONE QUOTE I'd like to have attributed to me, it'd really have to be THAT. It's especially laudable when taken out of context!

Various rather unattractive looking middle-aged men who I hope to high hell I don't wind up looking like, some college football player from California, a couple people lookup accounts with my info plastered all over them. Other than that there's a couple pages that linked my comic at some point including a gothic e-zine, which is kind of odd considering I didn't really think of my comic as incredibly dark or anything.

Not much weird there really.

Apparently I've been booked on the Late Show with David Letterman.


I just found this:

Ben Robinson: Oh wretched man that I am, who will save me from this body of death? Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord!

That's really funny, Ochitsukanai! I wonder why that's the one that would show up?

The only things that come up for me are annoying…without giving away my name to all of you, someone who's got a tv show always pops up because my last name is a word and that's what they are.
Then there's a really bad Christian rock musician. And I think a baseball player.
An article about me actually used to come up because when I was like six I won the local newspaper's Christmas art contest(they put me on the front page, lol). But for some reason that doesn't seem to be anywhere on the internet anymore.
Oh, what's kind of funny is that all the people that come up are male. Durned unisex(kinda) name.

I have no idea! Out of everything, it's gotta choose that.

People usually abbreviate it to "Ochi," and Googling THAT results in "OCHI: The Lesbian Cyberclub," the page of an African-American lesbian rapper! She's probably having a way more interesting life than I am - my actual name doesn't even provoke interesting results. XD

#1 is Titus Vineyards, followed by a bunch of other things. I don't show up until #10 on the search, for all the programs I created for the TI-calculator.

By googling my full name I get information on a run I participated in as a kid. Don't know why? It's not like I won.

I'm not gonna bother checking out my username. I'm pretty sure what kind of stuff I'll find.

The other day I found out the true meaning of "Jonko" via urban dictionary in a google search:

—————————-
1. Jonko

A big fat joint stuffed with weed from beginning to the end.

Also known as; The fatty bomba joint.
A : yo zwa pass that jonko
B : is cool zwa
—————————–

Yeah… I was pretty surprised. All this time I was just a big fat joint.

Some people might take that as a compliment, Jonko. I mean, I personally wouldn't call someone a Jonko, but hey… Also, I had no idea that's what it was, either…huh, learned something new.

Wow, I learned a lot about you…

"Kristen is really really good-looking."

and…

"'Hello my peeps!! I am Kristen, your savior!! What am I saving you from?! Bad art!"

It's endearing! :)

Various things show up, but I'm the top, both for my actual name and my nick.
Originally nothing except me showed up for Ozoneocean, but it's been there a while now and other's have started to try and use it for their searches.- Spammers including it as a keyword on their junk sites is pretty silly, especially when it gets included in porn sites.

I haven't done a vanity search in a while but I use a Google keyword feature so I see some of the search results e-mailed to me. one of the latest was for Ozone Ocean body wash. lol!
For my own name there used to be some American marine captain who died in Vietnam… Recently there have been more people with my name… some are professional people doing various things and I think one is some bastard banker or fund-manager who defrauded some people out of their money. :gem:

My name is Matt Summers, and one day I idly typed it into Google just to see.

If you do this, be wary before you hit the "image" search, since apparently there's a gay porn star with the EXACT same name as me.

Imagine my family's mirth when I told them. Sheesh. :p

Yeah, I was pretty rambunctious. And most of my thoughts seemed to be punctuated by Queen lyrics.
Who is Kristen? That is a question that many people ask, yet none ever find out.
I didn't realize it then, but I may have stumbled upon one of the greatest tragedies of life. ; o

The irony is that a lot of comics go by the mantra "sex sells"… apparently it's the other way around.

are you at least getting the royalties ; D

Is your real name… Bernie Madoff?

For my name there's this mathematician who's written a pile of textbooks, has his own scholarship, did a documentary on teaching math etc, etc. The guy's awesome. I don't even show up on facebook.
Then there's a Nigerian ambassador and St. Stephen's Church in Willoughby, Sydney, NSW.

I used to show up with some pictures of my model work I posted, but no more. Edit: Oh wait I show up on page 11 with those models!

But don't Google my sister Melanie; she's everywhere.

When I google my name it comes up with this guy who does this really dumb webcomic about cows and pigs. It's pretty retarded, oh wait that is me.
