Hit Diggity!!!

Click here, right now. Now I know what you’re thinking, “What is Matt making us click now? Maybe I shouldn’t, although that date thing was pretty funny…” Well to save the lazier among you some trouble, that’s the second page of Google results for “matt” and yours truly is at #13. Now before you call me the most narcissistic blogger ever in my defense I was merely vanity surfing my referrers when this popped up. Vanity surfing is not nearly as bad as vanity searching.
Anyway I’ve joked for a long time that the only reason I’m on the web is to become the #1 hit for “matt” on Google, it’s been the brass ring of my online existence. Before this latest Google dance I was somewhere toward the end of the 18th page if I remember correctly, so obviously something has been going right. Better yet, I now have a nice short hit list of people that have to go so I can make #1. 
I am so going to start using this at parties!

Damn you, Haughey, Drudge, Welch, and crappy Perl programmer!

I’m the #1 hit for Dougal .
Neener neener neener

As #1 for Christine, I’ll share a tip … post your name after every single post you make. I know it looks redundant on my index page, but damn it - I’m NUMBER ONE!

I’m just glad I beat that Damon character. I see I have two #1s in my audience, Christine’s tip sounds righteous and I’m going to add it right now.

Oh NO! Don’t encourage him! Matt, you are a total dork! But I’m grinning like a Cheshire Cat as I type this, so I guess I’ll shut up now…
CHEERS!

Hey Matt, I’ve got to admit that it’s pretty damn cool that your name Matt is number 13 on the search results for “matt”. Congratulations, Matt!
