Googleing Yourself

You know you have done it - googled yourself... My comic strip at my site this week is based on googleing yourself, so I googled my username and website name "spacebooger."
I found out that there is some 16 to 18 year-old on XBox Live that uses Spacebooger as his name for games and other forums... Man thats annoying because I'm 34 and don't have XBox Live. I wonder if people have mistaken the two of us.

So have you ever googled yourself or the name you commonly use on the internet? What did you find about about yourself or your "handle?"

Well, apparently Brittney loves me. She said so on her myspace blog.

Edit- Oh, and if you're just going by my first name all results are overshadowed by a certain Bob Dylan.

I'm a textual expression. My real name pulled up Shiatsu Message therapist and animator of the film "More from life." That was it. Boo

I never knew there was a guy named Veno who was the prince of R&B and pop.

Well, I used this name because Vino is the Italian term for wine, but people might mispronounce it like dino, so I changed it to Veno so it would sound more like Reno.

Plus, Vino is an awesome character in one of my anime's I watched.
