Jason posted this exercise in Google usage the other day over on his site, urging others to try it out as well. So, since I’ve got nothing better to post today, I’ll give it a shot. The rules are as follows: using Google images, search for the answer to each question, and use the first image in the search results. Here’s what came from mine:

City Where I Was Born
I was born in Wynne, Arkansas, in 1967. As you can see, it’s located in eastern Arkansas. Since I was only two when we left, I have few memories of actually living there.
City I Grew Up In (Place I Consider “Home”)
My family moved to McCrory, Arkansas, around the beginning of 1970. My parents remained there until after I had left home, so it’s really my hometown. It’s about 25 miles west of Wynne.
City Where I Currently Live
Little Rock, Arkansas. This is my second time living in Little Rock, having also lived here from 1992-2001. We returned in 2005, and hopefully, are here to stay.
My First & Last Name
Since “Gregory” is my middle name, I used my actual first name in the search. I have no idea who these people are, though. I do know that none of them are me.
My Grandmother’s Name
And, of course, this is not my grandmother. It appears to be major leaguer Prince Fielder instead. I should note that he played for the Huntsville Stars for a while during the time I lived there. And, not being a baseball fan, that’s pretty much all I know about him.
My Favorite Food
I didn’t go for a specific food item, but my favorite cuisine. I think the image makes my answer pretty clear. My favorite Mexican (or Tex-Mex) type restaurant would probably be Rosie’s Mexican Cantina in Huntsville. I really miss Rosie’s.
My Favorite Drink
Is there any other?
My Favorite Song
As one who has always listened to a lot of music over forty years, I found it very difficult to come up with just one favorite song. Instead, I picked my favorite song from my favorite band: “2 Minutes To Midnight” by Iron Maiden.
A Place You Have Lived
Huntsville, Alabama (2001-2005). Despite living there for nearly four years, I never actually visited the Space and Rocket Center. That’s really ridiculous.
Place You Have Worked
Acxiom Corporation, Conway & Little Rock, Arkansas. This is where I worked last time I lived in Little Rock. The stock price was lower when I left.
A Place I’d Like To Visit
I’ve wanted to visit Sydney, Australia, ever since my high school girlfriend’s family went on a mission trip to Australia in the mid-80’s. However, after watching Lost for three seasons now, I’d be a bit more apprehensive about the return flight.

Well, there you have it.

    Ahh…Rosies!

    I did Mountain Dew also, but it pulled up a Christmas tree for me. I don’t get it.
