... things ...<i>"If I had baller money ..."</i><br /><br />... things won't work out the way you expect, especially if a lot of people know you have that kind of money.<br /><br />Relatives come out of the woodwork seeking your attention and other things, mostly in the form of hand-outs of some kind. Parts of your family who are fugitives from the law think you're the person to contact because you're really good at hiring lawyers.<br /><br />Then after having to crack the whip at these people for a while, you wind up with some paparazzi types who write nasty things about you, which are then picked up as "official sources" by Wikipedia.<br /><br />You try to get most of the lies published about you corrected in the press and on Wikipedia, but eventually you figure out that the lesser lies and rumors are a kind of shield you can keep in place so the would-be leg humpers won't find it quite so easy to latch on.<br /><br />Out of all of this, you find out that ONE, just ONE other person with your actual name is a decent person who doesn't want a ton of stuff from you, and he has a pretty cool career doing something you thought about doing, but didn't.<br /><br />This is in fact the only person outside your most trusted group of friends that you'd let crash in your living room for a few days when things get a little weird.<br /><br />Naturally, this person lives on the other side of the planet, and so this sort of thing never comes up.<br /><br />Even today, Wikipedia still says you're an absolute bastard, and they still depend on all of those "[citations]" from paparazzi types to "prove" it ...<br /><br />Be very, very careful what you wish for.<br /><br />And no, I don't "Google" myself, I learned not to do that a long time ago.Capital of Texas Refugeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8049802.post-12025259424053518262019-04-26T19:56:25.455-07:002019-04-26T19:56:25.455-07:00Yeah. For a very common name you'd expect ever...Yeah. For a very common name you'd expect everyone to be very diverse. But for us lesser common names- I just sort of get a kick out of seeing my alternative selves and thinking - maybe I'd like her. It just makes you very aware of how not special you are. And not in a bad way. I guess it's also sort of interesting to see the opposite you. But the ones who are kind like you are funner in a way.<br /><br />If I had baller money maybe I'd try to form a get together of people with my name. Someone even has my same middle name. I think that would be hilarious. It would be a one off. But a super funny one off.<br /><br />So.... John Smith (if that's really your name) have you ever met anyone in real life with your name?<br /><br />Welcome tot he blog. And if that's not really your name - good job on already getting an anonymous nym. A lot of people here start out anon and it's just easier to tell people apart when they chose an anon nym.she said:https://www.blogger.com/profile/15003430767746896739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8049802.post-41174001811522060892019-04-26T19:28:54.747-07:002019-04-26T19:28:54.747-07:00And depending on the type of name can vary greatly...And depending on the type of name can vary greatly<br /><br />~John SmithAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
