"Googling" your name can be competitive, boost self esteem

Saturday September 9, 2006 | 01:22:39 am 208 words, 3985 views  

I cannot stress to you enough the importance of “googling” your name every so often. It’s the only way you can really know how you’re perceived by the Google gods in this digital world.

And the best part is finding out what all the other knuckleheads in your Name Fraternity are up to and how the search engine rankings change week to week. Battling for the top spot on Google is myself, Brandon Tucker the wrestler (toughest BT), Brandon Tucker the “make poverty history” guy (BT with the best cause) and Brandon Tucker the fine artist (poorest BT).

Until today, I thought I had tabs on all the Brandon Tucker’s out there. Then I came across Brandon Tucker the nose-biter.

As a result, I pronounce this Brandon Tucker the most felonious (or hungry) of all B.T.’s. It’s good to know the rest of us Brandon Tuckers can screw up pretty good over the next few years and still be ahead of the “chewy” Brandon Tucker.

I also found by digging way down the list old scores from Michigan’s Powerbilt Junior Tour when I was 14.

So where’s my place amongst Brandon Tuckers? Most written? Most Traveled? Most suave (ladies study on B.T.’s)? or most distasteful?

How many people out there have to share a workplace with someone who has your EXACT same name?

I do, and in my situation, he's "kinda a big deal" at our company. Twenty years my elder, he still gets my friends drunken 3am email rants, online deal special from Urban Outfitters, and the "office youngens" party invites all because he has the "real me" email address. You know, not the email address with all the dots, underscores, and numbers, but the legit firstnamelastname@acme.com

All I'm saying is that he should at least thank me for that "Drink Apple Juice. O.J. Will Kill You." t-shirt he's been wearing.
