My homepage is the #1 site for my name, that's kind of cool. Then there's some other sites by me, then there's some stuff from a guy name "Matt" who is a "singer" in a band.

The first person named Matt Singer who isn't me, is a student at Hobart and William Smith Colleges. A Matt Singer holds numerous batting records at the University of Cincinnati. I need a less common name!

Rather than searching google.com try this site: Googlism (http://www.googlism.com) . It searches Google for snippets of your name, and prints them out in sentences.....it's very strange indeed.

It's crazy...there's actually some Chris Ryall out there who runs this site called--really, you have to hear this--"Movie Poop Shoot.com." How gay does that sound? Especially for me, Chris Ryall, English doctor/Bridge Champion. Those wacky Americans!

There's also some old stuff that shows up that I'd be okay if it was never seen again...anyone know why only certain things show up on there? At least none of soft-core porn pics have shown up yet. If those ever surface, I'll be kicked right off American Idol.

Is it me, or does the dude on American Idol with the spiky red hair (Clay?) look like a Chucky doll all grown up? He freaks me out.

Heh heh...I just mentioned that to my friend and he said he looked "like a Martin Short character." Man, that is good.
