busy with life links

i can’t think of a time in my life where i’ve had more stuff going on personally or professionally. it’s exciting in a way, but i’m looking forward to sleeping in on a weekend day and maybe cutting out a day of work to watch a giants game with my daughter or something. here’s a couple websites to keep you busy:

also, i use google analytics to review stats on the website – it helps me count the 3 visitors who actually come here to read the stories. one of the sections shows what keywords people searched for in google that ended up at my site. here’s the top 10 phrases as measured by google:

  1. evan o’dorney
  2. elliot yamin
  3. evan o’dorney pitch
  4. bruce bowen dirty player
  5. jatbar
  6. kate beckinsale’s feet
  7. “white girls and gang signs”
  8. make your own southpark character
  9. how to sell crystal meth
  10. make a southpark character

item 6 & item 9 are my favorites – item 9 especially. if you go to google and search for “how to sell crystal meth”, my site comes in at #3 [click here to do this in google]. it’s purely by mistake/chance but i know some people pay big money to be right at the top of a google search. i just like the fact that 3 people actually searched for how to sell devil’s dust on google. what’s next a wikipedia article?
