Googlegangers and you

I wish that more people who visit my site would vote on my poll. How difficult is it, really? I mean, just click the button that most appeals to you! One click, just one little click -- that's all I ask.

As of this posting, none of the voters say that they are named Tim Dowling. Really? There are TONS of us out there. Well, dozens at least (although I suppose that a couple dozen 175-pound men would in fact be "tons"). Don't tell me that I'm the only one vain enough to google myself on a daily basis occasionally. I know for a fact that at least one other does. And it appears that for all the visits to this site, a good chunk of them result from searches for him. There's an actor with my name, too. Surely he has looked for and desired this eponymous domain at some point. And strangely, I get emails every once in a while that are intended for a Tim Dowling who holds what seems to be a rather important position at McAfee (apparently Comcast recycles email addresses rather quickly after customers cancel their accounts).

I guess the point of all this is that we need to organize a Tim Dowling convention.

In other news, I have finally found the perfect pen. For the first time, I can write in my freakish left-handed way without fear of smearing, smudging, or splotching. Its ink dries amazingly fast, and it flows as smooth as silk. What is this magical pen, you ask? The Uni-Ball Jetstream. My lefty friends, write that down and go immediately to your local office supply store. I assure you, you will not be disappointed.

Why is Ozzy Osbourne in like every third commercial that I see on TV? He's already been overexposed once; I do not need to deal with this again.

Why are they trying to pour beer in her nose?

First of all, I think it's hilarious that Obama's head speech writer was born in 1981 and is named Jon Favreau. Second, the guy is a dumbass for allowing stupid pictures of be taken of him as if he were some random fratboy who would expect to get a few more high fives than CNN stories. Thirdly, I cannot believe that Hilary Clinton is not only condoning his behavior, but defending it. There are plenty of good writers out there with more political common sense. There's no reason to have to stick with someone who clearly hasn't fully left adolescence yet.

I wouldn't sexually harass a cardboard cut-out, Mr. Obama. I'm just sayin', is all...

I discovered this afternoon that my blog's comment filter has caught 934 spam comments in the past 24 hours. For the first time ever, I feel popular!

Lights and music

Step one: Turn on your speakers and turn off the lights in the room
Step two: Look at the box below these steps and press the "full-screen" button in the bottom right corner
Step three: Press the big "play" button
Step four: Commence meditation or seizure
Step five: Regain consciousness and wonder how long it will be before you see a bloodshot-eyed neighbor appear on screen with a large shotgun
