What's in a name?
Posted by todd Tue, 04 Oct 2005 20:34:00 GMT
Loose lips sink ships. It's quickly becoming clear that having a website with my name on it could be....problematic.
Discussing the details of my Seinfeldian dating life has always been fun, but Google is going to get me in trouble sooner or later.
You see, people, and women in particular, are sneaky weasels.
They investigate things..It's extremely common to "Google" someone before you go on a date. That used to be fine, because there are thousands of Todd Allens. Somehow though, out of 9,470,000 results for my name, I have become #9. Finding me on the internet has become the online equivalent of finding a Starbucks, and when is the last time you saw a Starbucks on a date! Huh?! Tell me that!
I'm screwed, or rather if my dates start looking me up, I'm not. This will not stand.
So until I remedy this problem, my stories are going to be less timely. I'm imposing a post-mortem rule on all dating related posts. You won't hear the story until the girl is gone for good. It's the only way I can keep telling them in the traditional/non-PC manner, without being stabbed in my sleep.
Sucks too.. I had a really funny/good weekend. All I can say for now is that step #2 from the getting dumped guide is complete, and went *much* better than anticipated given my current lack of hair.
I'll try and remember some oldies/goodies until the time lag works itself out.
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
come on.
why did you use your full name anyway?
geez.
For alot of reasons I don’t use my first or last name either. Trying to protect the innocent/guilty I suppose.
hence,
circe
:)
Yeah, I don’t use my name either, so I can talk about the people (er, person) I date. Brady knows I have the blog, AND he knows I talk about him all the time…but good luck trying to find it, suckah!
You need to remedy this. First of all, you need an immediate outlet. Second, we need a fix!!!!
I agree! Where are you going to go for release my dear!? Tell me that! And what are you going to do with your free time now???? Clean??? Just kidding! :) :)
Darn… I like reading your posts ;) But congrats on being in the Top Ten! hehe…
I dont use my last name either…
but if you didn’t use both your real first and last name and give away the city that you are in how could I be standing outside your door RIGHT NOW??
Now please let me in.
There’s a lot that I don’t talk about because my family, friends and even some professors read my blog. Notice that I don’t talk about my love life very often? I also have to watch for the potential stalkers. You may want to start worrying about that too.
On the other hand, I’m pretty open with my life so I don’t have much to hide.
Well, initially there wasn’t a blog on this domain. I just had some pictures and stuff on it, well, because I’m a geek and that’s what we do.
Maria: I’m not worried about stalkers… hell, if anyone actually shows up at my apartment, I’ll buy you a beer :) Also, just FYI.. I could totally find you if I tried (but I’m not a stalker, so I won’t)
I also found out today that there is an actor named Todd Allen, who has been in a lot of stuff, and is from San Diego. Unforunately, I was not in Ice Pirates.
You couldn’t find me.
:-P
I’m not just anonymous… I am super anonymous.
BAH HA!
ACG: You would be much harder… although I’ll bet I could still find you with enough time. Triangulating your location based on the bars you frequent :)
This must be a west coast thing! I don’t think a girl has ever googled me and I wouldn’t know how! HA. I think you are safe.
east coasters do it to d-man.
but not just girls.
Hey Todd. I certainly don’t think of you as the stalker type sugar. Actually, I’ve been kind of wondering when you and I are actually going to meet. You should come by for Sunday dinner one of these weeks.
D-Man: Actually I went on a date several months ago (with a woman trying to find a cure for Lou Gherigs disease), and she found me before we ever met. And at that point I wasn’t on page 1. :( My stories at that time weren’t as…forthcoming.. so she still went out with me.
Maria: Yeah we will have to meet up sometime! I’m at a wedding in Arkansas this weekend, but sometime soon :)
Maybe I’ll write a post about that now.

when is the last time you saw a Starbucks on a date! Huh?! Tell me that!
Almost every time. Which probably explains a lot.
(Although, in my defense, there’s a B&N with a Starbucks right in front of the biggest theatre in the city here, and several of the best not-too-casual-not-too-fancy-pants restaurants are within walking distance of both.)
dive_goddess,
i went to college with the mother fucker and one thing he doesn’t do is clean. not in his free time, not in his life time, in fact not anytime! he did buy a whole hell of a lot of beer on a daily basis. thus, rendering the trait cleanliness irrelevant.
put it this way, while watching south park at todd’s we went outside to piss in the middle of january and we went to edinboro university where it took four feet of snow in six hours to cancel classes for the day. as for taking a shower…
Wow…guess I should Google myself to make sure there is nothing too awful in there, just in case! Thanks for the insight everyone!
For some reason I feared that Anonymous! Todd I again expend my offer to come help you in your dire need for a clean apartment! Honestly! No man should live in an apartment that would be quarantined by the CDC! No worries, if I ever get to the west coast I will find you, and you better have a cold beer ready! :)
Hrrrm… That’s a new style of writing from Anonymous… Who is that.. Mike?
I’m somewhat cleaner now than in college. Only somewhat though. And as for pissing outside, you aren’t fooling anyone, you guys just liked to piss on things.
yes it is… what’s up my nigga (as opposed to nigger which is not politically correct. oprah in the lunch room yet again)? upon reflection neither could apply to you. adjectively or adverbially speaking. you are, after all, the whitest man in america. ladies you should see him dance…
funny how testing can knock all the hippie right out of you. i apologize for the N word.
so exactly how good is that southern california smoke? i can understand elan but deaf chick…
and don’t foret to bring some home!
where’s waldo my ass? where’s a picture without a beer bottle in it?
what’s up bro? area code 585 is not to be equated with debt collection, paternity testing or child support. you can answer the phone!
no longer anonymous
So no more stories about hooking up with chicks and dumping them and showing the videos you made to your buddies and then selling them on the internet? Man I hope no chicks read this comment.
Scott: Look, I can’t help it if your sister likes being watched. And it helped her get that boob job. Who knew she could bend that way.
I outgrew that movement on account of that unit. Surprisingly, some tremendous online gambling adventurously flung by means of this accurate gamble. This close european casinos thrust that support concentrically. As my doctor predicted, one money is far more nice than the smart people. Hi, a rubber city nastily coasted prior to that loyal house. End redid some community.
