Googling my posting name on this forum would be relatively pointless since it is so generic, but Googling my real full name comes up 111 hits (considered repeats after only 19 however)... but they're mostly quotes from my father in local/business articles or high school athletic results for myself.
Just googling my last name is more interesting by far since it's rare enough to not get any superfluous links. Apparently I have a distant relative who is a professor at ASU and has written a couple books - he takes up a lot of the links. Another distant relative who is getting married, based upon the bridal registrations out there (congratulations to her!). More high school athletic results for me and quotations from my dad. Many, many generations ago my ancestors owned a castle in Scotland before coming to America which is also mentioned in passing in a link or two.
I Google my last name every now and then for entertainment's sake.

I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
