Search Keywords

A good idea will keep you awake during the morning, but a great idea will keep you awake during the night. -Marilyn vos Savant

OK when you can't sleep things get freaky.  A few days ago I noticed a few people being directed to my blog through StumbleUpon and FilmHill?  [Hey there, high five!]  OK StumbleUpon I can understand.  It's suppose to give you super random things.  My blog is definitely super random.

However, I was digging deeper into the stats when I noticed something odd.  Google kindly indicated what keyword phrases that have recently led to my blog.  If you Google "laying down touching myself" my blog post on my trip to the eye doctor ranks first.  I originally meant for the post to be innuendo laid and just fun to read.  Reading it now, I can say I'm both embarrassed and ashamed.  My complete disregard for capitalization is a crime and apparently in 2009 I had a love for the ellipsis... maybe it's coming back...

Anyways, let this be a lesson to all in the power of search.  My sleepless night started out searching for something to do, searching for something I saw and, searching for a deeper understanding.  It lead me to my past.  Search can lead you to the unexpected, not just StumbleUpon.
