Cellophane

I just spent the last ten minutes looking at the results of googling “Anthony Jackson”. I simply wanted to find out how easy it was to find some reference to myself in that big ole world wide web.

This innocent episode started when I searched the name Germanique Pickens. Why search that name? Because I went to lunch with one of my mentor’s from work, and he was like, ‘you need to meet Germanique’. But he said it in a manner that says ‘I wish I was twenty years younger so I could meet Germanique’ wink, wink. So I proceeded to look her up on our phone system. Unfortunately she did not pick up the phone, leaving my curiosity roaming free. So I googled her. It did not take much foresight to imagine she was probably the only Germanique Pickens in existence, and that there would probably be a pic of her somewhere (Facebook, myspace, etc.). Sure enough, there was a pic. My interest to meet her has gone down somewhat. BUT, the whole exercise made me want to look up my own name.

I knew my name was popular, and that many people such as bass guitarists, criminals, and authors shared my moniker. But I figured that if I filtered through all the clutter that they created, I would get to that diamond in the rough that is Me. Thirty google pages later, I gave up. If I am not google-worthy, what good is my existence? It really hurt when, on page 28 or so, I see GEM – Anthony Jackson. Thinking I had finally hit pay dirt, because I was indeed a GEM scholar (which there are not many), I click on the link to discover there was even another Anthony Jackson GEM scholar… that cheeky bastard, with his PhD and accomplishments. So it turns out I am an unoticable speck in the universe that is the internet.

All this has given me hope though, a new purpose even. I will be the most famous Anthony Jackson to ever hit the internet!!! I realize such an ambitious goal is not easily accomplishment. First I will become the most famous Anthony Jackson in Texas (evidently there are 50 of us according to White Pages), then I will become the most famous Anthony Jackson on Facebook (random friending, here I come), and finally I will take on the entire internet. I will need all your support in this most important of tasks.

I really need to be more productive at work.

I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the structure of your website?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so
people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two pictures.
Maybe you could space it out better?

I think what you typed was very reasonable. But,
consider this, suppose you wrote a catchier post title?
I mean, I don't wish to tell you how to run your blog, but suppose you added a headline that makes people desire more? I mean "Cellophane" is a little vanilla. You could peek at Yahoo's front page and watch how they create article headlines
to get viewers to click. You might add a related video or a related pic or two to get
readers excited about everything've written. In my opinion, it might bring your blog a little bit more interesting.

Woah! I'm really enjoying the template/theme of this website. It's simple,

Greetings, I think your site could be having internet browser compatibility issues.

When I look at your web site in Safari, it looks fine however,
when opening in Internet Explorer, it's got some overlapping issues. I simply wanted to provide you with a quick heads up! Aside from that, fantastic website!
