I really can't explain why but these Google Alerts have me anxiously awaiting there arrival. There must be something innate in the human psyche that makes me want to learn about the guys that I share my name with me.
It has been a pretty interesting week for guys named Eric Martin.
Just in the past few days I've been:
- a bank robber that tried to flee the police after he had been arrested causing school lockdown in Iowa
- a high school junior who captained his team to a State Championship in Danvers, MA
- a Congressman that lost an election in York, PA
- a Director of Public Works in Chesapeake, Va that rejected city employees pay increases
- a Twitter account for @RonnieRust whose child had three back to back seizures
- a Rock Star (Formerly of Mr. Big) who is going to sing on a Rick Springfield Tribute Album
So I will continue to watch out for my namesakes and see what kind of moments in their life Google captures for Forever in the supposed Black Hole of the GooglePlex.
In the next day or so I am going to add a new section to A Long Island Nerfherder's Blog called 'Eric Martin: The Google Alerts' in the column on the right.
Come back and check out the alerts if you have time. Or create a Google Alert for your name.
And no, that's not me in the pic. That's the Rock Star who is singing on the Rick Springfield Album.
I actually went out with girl a few times that dated him. He was from Long Island too.
