someone told me he saw a family picture of ours and was asking whether the guy in the pic was my ex. i asked where he saw it. he said on the web. hmmmm... i haven't posted any family pics recently. neither have i uploaded any pics with any ex.
he described the guy and from the description it did seem like my ex but i said i really did not want to confirm as it's possible it could be some other guy. he said the guy was big/tall, goodlooking and looked very masculine. wow, if that is an ex then what on earth was i thinking?! ha-ha-ha. he added the guy had his arm around me. oh, ok. there are not too many of those pics with a non-ex for sure. the few that are around would most likely be with a relative. anyhow, i said i'll save my confirmation for when i have seen the pic.
then last week, he showed me the pics. ooops, yup, it was my ex. the pics were taken a few years back.
i asked how he saw it. he said he searched me in google. oh. that is creepy sweet.
i googled myself to see what comes out. in the web tab, there's several. in images, a LOT. pics from picasa, from flickr. hmmm... i posted them on the web so i don't really expect them to be hidden or private. but then i'm thinking people would be googling themselves. i really don't expect them to be googling me, ha-ha-ha.
anyhow, i've lived, and have been striving to live, a good life. it's not always easy but i'm happy to say that i've managed to get by.
yup, i don't mind the search. my life could withstand scrutiny... : )
i had the same case. i was on a job interview when suddenly i was asked about mariah carey! and I was surprised that it was not included in my resume or any document i submitted... nah, i did not deny my "affinity" (dream on, mandy..lol) to mariah so i tell this little story that yes, mariah and myself are related, somehow.. haha.. then, i asked why and how that question came about...
ReplyDeleteand yup, google was the key... hahaha... i really found that so funny i love to recall that day often..
