I guess I need to find a new fight
A few days ago, I inquired about all these extra search hits I was getting. Not sure why it didn't dawn on me at the time, but today, I decided to check my Google Page Rank.
So, I guess I'm a 4 now. The only word that comes to mind is bittersweet.
Yeah, I wrote that song about wanting to increase my page rank. You would think that now that I got what I was all but begging for, that I'd be ecstatic. And on some levels, I am. Really I'm quite full of myself, and I like that Google thinks slightly higher of me now. It's great. Really.
There is a downside, however. Yes, I like to complain, and now I have one less thing to complain about. But it's more than that. Like this girl I hired to picket out in front of Google's headquarters.
I've already paid her to picket through the end of the month, now I'm out $100. Think I'm getting that back? She's probably already spent it on some sort of sprouts to snack on and some natural fuels for her VW hippie wagon.
In addition, I've already signed an artist to perform the previously mentioned song, and studio work was expected to start shortly. I may continue, but not with the same enthusiasm. I had gotten together a group of fellow 3's and started the "Three's the Place to Be" campaign. I hate to leave that group, but how can I stay when I no longer meet the sole criterion? All I can say is thank god I didn't yet shell out the money for the website we were starting, foursarewhores.com. That would have been embarrasing.
So I guess I need to apologize to the 4's out there that I had previously accused of being elitist snobs. Sorry about that. Oh, and about the website I almost helped launch. I'll try to get a hold on my blog jealousy.
To Google, soon enough, I'll be complaining about not being a 5. But for now, I guess I'll say thanks, and sorry for the picketing.

poor thing is holding up a sign that is almost as big as she is- I say give her another $50 so she can afford a glove for the other hand. She looks cold!!

Mazel Tov on your new ranking. Getting a 4 is truly one of the greatest titles a human can ever recieve.
RaJ said:
My first thought was "congratulations." And I apologize because my second thought was "Photoshop?"
:-O
I said:
cadiz - I checked, yes :)
berry - Wait, who's side are you on? And $50 for gloves? No, one glove? No way!
squeaky - It's one of the greatest titles indeed.
RaJ - Part of me wants to be mad about that. But then the rest of me realizes that I've made my bed, and now I must lay in it.

I guess my first question would be, did you check all the other 4’s to make sure they aren’t now 5’s? You know, just to make sure google wasn’t inflating the numbers. Kind of like a few years back when they changed the scale for SAT scores… I recall a lot of people with 1520’s on their SAT’s being miffed that under the new rules they would have had a 1600. Basically I’m just trying to keep the dream of complaining alive.

You know what would impress google and make them think twice? An army of yellow topped, one gloved picketeers,

I'm still a 3. Boo hoo.

My only question is why you did not picket yourself... from my point of view, if your severed arm can hold a gun, it can hold a sign. Anyway, it seems you have an ally with Dan the Disgruntled Intern, he who infamously shamed Google Earth...
jasmine said:
this was classic.
sorry about the song. i'll echo jon though and think you should check where the rest of us are at.
oh yeah, i talked to google pagerank today and they said you smell really bad.
so be upset about that.
I said:
jon - I most certainly did check to make sure you all aren't 5's now. I was mad about that SAT score thing! Punk kids get all the breaks.
dom - Welcome! And should I need them, I do have 100 more picketers like that one.
viking - I think it was the song that put me over the hump.
Dem - I guess I could have had my severed arm picket, but the rest of me had to go to work. My earthy-crunchy picketer doesn't have that burden.
jasmine - Thanks for giving me something else to be upset about. If you hear those SOBs talking about me any more, please do let me know.

Dude. You want complaint fodder? Try rehosting with a non-blogspot domain. Current pagerank: 0. It's okay to let fly with a derisive laugh; that's what I'm doing.
