Today, my brother Bobby would have turned the big three-o. The following is a real conversation he and I had before band practice one day:

Matt (age 15): There is nothing more sad than old people playing rock music.
Bobby (age 17): I know.
Matt: We need to get this out of our system now because when I\’m 30, I\’m gonna end the band.
Bobby: What, you think I\’m gonna be 32 and going \”Come on man, one more year!\” ???

My, how perspectives change.

2/24/2007 | Is there non-scented Pledge?

From time to time, Dr. Frank holds the Google-lympics over at his blog. It\’s where he posts some of the most recent (and random) Google searches that have led people to his page.

Having just gone through two years\’ worth of the queries that have brought people here, I just couldn\’t help but share some – categorized, of course – as Frank would have it.

We\’ll start off slowly and build up some bizarro momentum as we go.

This first group is made up of what appear to be actual attempts at finding this website. Who cares if those typing weren\’t sure of a few measly numbers, letters and, in some cases, words? The important thing is they found us:

Next, we have some instances where you can pretty much assume the typist wasn\’t looking for us:

old yogurt

pizza music

livid woman

guitar center & al roker

And at first, these next three were going just going to be included in that last group:

ugly faces

most ugly faces

ugly faces 2005

That is, until I discovered this one along with them:

ugly faces 41 gorgeous

My ego bruised and a bit bloodied , I trekked on, this time finding questions, some of which I\’d even asked myself before. Though, I hadn\’t been smart enough to ask the internet:

is there non scented pledge

why punk rock

does matt dallas have kids?

what is meant by gawking?

what is a 41 year old roadie to do ?

where did gorgeous go

what have i been doing today

There also seems to have been someone looking for, um, \”things\” in Lewisville, TX:

vista ridge amphitheater lewisville tx

lewisville car show

lewisville tx strip bar

lewisville tx strip clubs

strip club lewisville tx

gentlemen s clubs near lewisville tx

strip clubs lewisville tx

strip bar in lewisville tx

lewisville texas gentlemen s club

lewisville tx strip clubs

auto junkyard lewisville tx

strip club lewisville texas

Then, there were those who might have benefited more from a doctor than a search engine:

how to get rid of a jammed finger

a lot of head rushes

boredom and depression

heat brain damage

sore middle finger

computer stomachaches

This next group… well… I just call it \”Yikes\”:

gorgeous hunks getting it on

creep-stand here with me

shirtless grandma

my sister is gorgeous

websites that block people from seeing what you are really doing

suicide pardon the mess

fleshlight for men

And sometimes Google is the only friend who understands you:

christmas isn t christmas

i like hitting myself with a guitar in the morning

one day someone will walk into your life and you will realize why it never worked with anyone else

being gorgeous gets me a long

But don\’t believe for a minute that all of this is as random and meaningless as it appears. You know, in this hectic world of ours, it\’s so easy to become cynical – to get caught up scrutinizing every little thing you come across, looking only for the easiest way to prove to yourself, and everyone else, that you are the victim here. And even though every now and then you become aware that you take for granted all that you have going for you, often you don\’t realize what you\’ve been missing all along. Yep, sometimes it takes the serendipitous hands a stranger on the other end of a keyboard far, far away to really drive the message home:
