My Namesake Outdoes Me
Ego-googling is a well-documented phenomenon of the Internet age. The New York Times had an interesting article about it recently. Just a moment ago I took a moment to Google myself because I was looking at our latest blog statistics and my name has lately had a surge on our top keyword list. I wanted to see what was bringing people to type my name in a search engine.
I was distraught to find this guy when I did it. There he is, standing there, reminding me of how I chose to remain a Life Scout because at the age of 17 I was way more interested in hanging around with my girlfriend than in planning service projects.
So what do you call it when a namesake achieves something you yourself failed to do?

If that acheivment is getting an Eagle Scout while you, on the other hand, were getting a little action, I’d call it lame. No one gets a job using that resume fodder, no matter what their parents say…
You could call it an identity shituation?
