Google, I hate you! (But I want you to love me!)
Do you resent the fact that "Google" has become a verb? Sick of SEO? Tired of obsessing over PageRank? Wish you could quit Google, but secretly crave Google's attention and acceptance? You're not alone!
I hate myself for loving you (my Google rant)
by hmsweaver
But it's getting out of hand. I think about Google all the time -- keywords, backlinks, SEO strategies... What will Google think if I do this? Will Google like that? What if that makes Google mad? I don't want to upset Google!
But I hate that I HAVE to do that! Google's looming Google-icious omnipresence gets on my nerves and under my skin, and I hate myself for having to love Google, especially when Google gives no evidence of loving me in return. Some days it seems like Google loves me, and other days, Google turns all fickle and ignores me for no apparent reason. It's maddening!
Some days, I just want to break up with Google. I want Google to take all his stuff and get out, and leave me alone with my own quiet life. And I can make my place just the way I like it, without having to worry about what Google will think.
But then I'm jerked back to reality. I can't live without Google. Nobody will like me if Google doesn't like me. I'm nothing without Google.
And then I'm back to where I started. I hate myself for loving Google. I hate Google for making me love him. Google, come back! I didn't mean it! Call me!

Former Google Adsense Partner - Oh no, what ever shall I do? The Gevil Greedle Google refuses to permit allowing me to partner with them. Apparently the sites weren't up to Google snuff.
Brain inside former google adsense partner - I know, spend every waking second and minute toppling the Gonglomerate? Sounds like an idea pinky!

I AM FURIOUS! Why? Because today, while talking to my friends, one of them used 'Google' as an adjective! So, to see if you could actually do that, I wrote, 'I'll Google it' on Word. And no red or green line! Then I wrote the same sentence, but replaced Google with Yahoo. RED LINE! Now, I don't like Yahoo, but should it have a red line while Google is acceptable??? NO!

every morning, i wake up in a state of chronic depression.. if i don't take my meds i just can't find joy in the day. i started this new job that has me working too much, and i never have time to search and learn over google anymore.. it's a painful thing to give up. i just always loved reading and learning.. and now i just can't. i'd spend day in and day out just searching random things like hobos and snakes, and it was always an adventure.. i'm depressed because google is everywhere, and i'm incapable of using it. i wish they would just get rid of the terrible site.. the site that haunts my every dream and worsens my every nightmare.. i just know so many people take it for granted, being capable of searching google at any time, but what i would give to be able to give it all up and get google back. i yearn for it's touch.. it's soft, warm caress when i'm down.. i'm lonely and sad. suffering is an understatement.. google is a monster.. an addictive MONSTER.
