Bloggers, Real Estate Agents, and Why I Spent 2 Min Googling “Chartreuse Photo”

I’ve taken some flack from a good friend for giving that damn real estate thing even a single brain cycle.

I’m not going to lie – every now and then I still give it a quick thought.

When things don’t sit well in my mind, no matter how silly, I tend to give it some thought. Some call it a bad habit. I call it a positive trait

Well, the other day I found myself spending a few minutes google image searching “chartreuse” and variations of key words – trying to find a photo of the guy.

Why?

Because I realized that I have seen (photos) every blogger that I read regularly (not in a “we trade webcam pictures over email” creepy type of thing, but in the less creepy “their picture is easily available on their blog” type of way).

And I like it. It adds to the experience and to the authenticity.

However, I have no clue what Chartreuse looks like. So I went looking. For a few minutes. And came up with nothing.

Except for a thought. Was there a connection between what sent me googling a series of odd key words and real estate glamour shots?

Char is working a “Wizardof Oz” angle. He wants no pictures, just mystique. I’ve heard that “he” is really a 75 year old Korean woman who lives in Kentucky. Just a rumor though.

I think Chartreuse is Al Gore. Not just looks like him actually is the former VP.

Chartreuse being Al Gore would definitely explain Gore’s sudden resurgence. Interesting discussion to come from this post. I wanted at least someone to take my bait!
