So I saw this story come in on the wire, "False alarm means decontamination of Ohio students" and I immediately thought of parallel universe Connor Smith.
That's right, there's a Connor Smith. Except he's not in a parallel universe, he's just a sophomore at Ohio State.
So anyways, I just read that headline, and I instantly wondered if Connor Smith was okay. As it turns out, the article was about a high school, which naturally precluded Connor.
But isn't it weird that now I'm starting to feel concern and worry over this doppelganger? I'm a bit concerned for when he finally makes the NFL draft and when he joins a team. Will he have a good career? Will he be the best offensive tackle there ever was? And to a much lesser extent, when will my friends figure this out and give me crap about it?
And to think, this all happened because I Google'd "Connor Smith" and he won.

Ohio Students Falsely Decontaminated, Connor Smith Okay

Connor's Thoughts' Competitors
So I was on Google, and I decided to see what people were thinking of me. But instead of “Connor Smith,” I searched for “Connor's Thoughts.” Hopefully this would lead to the numerous reviews and opinions that revolve around my blog.
While no such things were to be found, I did find a laughable amount of “competitors.” Thankfully, I'm the first result. Which means they're losing. But I find their attempts funny, so without further ado, here they are.
Terminator Fanfic Guy
While I never expected to see this, here it is. It's a Terminator fanfic, or at least I think it is. I can't be bothered to read about it.
Still, though, it seems pretty long and comprehensive. Although the title kinda sounds like a name for a blog.
Though, I have to say, one thing that really bothers me is when people's last names end in “Connor.” It's not meant to be a last name, and hence that bothers me.
Random Kid's Blog
Next I found something more akin to what I was looking for; some kid's blog.
Of course, I consider my blog superior in terms of quantity of content and type of content. Heck, his last post is a post saying that he should update more often. And that was in January.
It could also be noted that this kid chose the http://connorsthoughts.blogspot.com address. Which is not much of a bother because 1) I came first, and 2) I named it after my screename.
JSTOR Article
Another result, er, competitor I got was this random article.
The title is a longwinded “Paper, area never far from Connor's thoughts: Former editor and publisher still relished experience of boosting paper's fortunes.”
As this is a limited preview, I really have no idea what it's all about. And I don't want to pay money just for the weird thrill of reading an article that has the string “Connor's Thoughts” in the title.
Connor's Corner
A snazzy name, if I was ever trying to be creative about things. Also, I dig the random collage of images as a logo. You don't hardly see enough of awkward bitmaps in this Web 2.0 age.
I'd make more fun of this person, but I had this daydream that the owner of the site would somehow find me and get mad at me. So yeah, I'm done here.
Blank
Finally, I found this. I'm not sure what it is, but it's blank. “Add your content here.”
Maybe this is my blog in an alternate dimension? Or maybe in an alternate dimension, it's filled with content. Ah, who knows?
And that's all for now.

Google "Connor Smith" Update
Well, it seems I have a new competitor for my name in google searches.
Apparently Tom Cruise has a son. And his name is Connor. And he's acting with Will Smith.
Thankfully, an episode of my show is just hanging on near the bottom of the front page. And with the recent... popularity of it, then I think we're cooking with some fire.
So, until next time, keep googling me.

V for Victory
So I googled myself again. Just connor smith, no quotation marks.
I'm on the front page. And it's all thanks to my comedy show. Best idea I've had in a while. Well, that and Expo TV.
So yeah. Connor Smith the famous collegiate offensive lineman, your days at the top of Google searches are numbered.

This Connor's Thoughts Blog; Better than Leading Alternative
So, I did a Google search for "Connor's Thoughts." Apparently I'm the first one you'd get.
I also checked out a few of them, and consider myself the best in that regard as well.
So take that, other Connors. With thoughts.
It also means I'm going somewhere. So, on to the future.
Now I need to edge out that star college lineman named "Connor Smith" for the first Google result on my name...

Update on Googling Myself
So I googled myself the other day. It turns out the highest priorty result is my Expo TV account.
WHAT!? I made that just yesterday!
Oh well, I guess everything else I've done so far is worthless.
There's a link to my profile on the right side of the page.

Google Connor - January '08
Well, it's that time again. Time to Google myself and hope that "Connor Smith the most dominating offensive lineman ever" has somehow disappeared from existence.
So, without further ado, here's what you get when you Google search "Connor Smith" (sans quotes).
Well, the first result is obviously Connor Smith the offensive lineman.
The next one is a puzzling British person's (what I assume to be a) dating profile.
Then, skipping down to me...
6 pages later, and it's a link to my blog.
Well, I'm not famous yet. But at least this blog is helping.
On a brighter note, searching for "cyoshio" pretty much just gets me.
