Googling My Past

Distractions

Last year on this day I Googled “wet cat nuts”. I have no clue why

In my head I can imagine some poor sap pouring over server logs at Google, in a windowless room, lit with flickering florescent lights and a tinny 70s pop radio on in the background, when he comes across that little nugget of info and he pauses. Reflecting on the frailty of life, human existence, reasons for human growth potential and all the suffering in the world and the good that can overcome that (plus wet cat nuts) when suddenly a robot arm with a 100 volt cattle prod comes down from the ceiling and shocks him back to work.

Two years ago I guess I was working on something for some freelance client. I Googled “Three Character Code color HTML” and I’m glad to note I was smrt enough to exclude the superfluous Canadian U. I also looked up the naughty Miley Cirus photoshoot story on TMZ. Again, I have no clue. Only apologies.

Three years ago I apparently didn’t use the internet at all, according to Google. The day before I looked up Spongebob Squarepants on IMDb. I think I was sad. That or I wanted to see who did the voice of Patrick.

Four years ago I looked up Brian Cox on IMDb. I think I was confused to his identity after watching Xmen 2 or something. Can’t recall. Google does though, and will probably tell me just as I die. The lights will fade and consciousness grows fuzzy around my peripheral being when suddenly a window will pop open in my field of view – Google will then tell me why I looked up Brian Cox (“You thought his goatee in X2 was hot!”) and I will fade from existence. I also looked up some Vatican info. Maybe I was thinking of a Dan Brown/Xmen kind of fever dream?
