Hello, Facebook friends.
How's it going.
It's me, Mike Rowe.
Honest. Um ...
It's been two weeks
and I've affirmatively been on Facebook. It's very exciting. Today's January 10th.,
by the way, 2013. New year, new resolutions. I'm resolved
to take control of my online identity, and it's been going great
so far.
Uh, just scrolling through some of the many comments left here
some of which are really great
some of which are mmmmm
uh, but all of which fascinating and interesting, including this one from Kristen, who writes,
"Dear, Mike Rowe.
May I call you Mike Rowe?
I ask this because even though this public page says you're the real Mike Rowe,
how do we know
it's really you?
I've seen other real Mike Rowes on Facebook, Twitter, and elsewhere on the web
including here."
That's the question.
It's really written right there,
really, by a woman named Kristen, I'm really reading it to you right here from my
real actual office as the real Mike Rowe.
However, her question
stirs up a whole
list of imponderables that have sent me down a never-ending rabbit hole
for the last hour or so. I've been clicking around online and lost a lot of our i
have confirmed
uh... personages and
qualifiers answers because prisoners at the right
how do you know why i don't know who you are
all you do
is kind of interest
make a case
here's my kids
work through the web
there i a m
that's that's on face book two that's the dirty jobs website
sunny lessons is that they spoke they said you know there was one
and checked out two point three million friends
and dirty jobs is two point three million friends looking again as he has
on wednesdays attend so that's not true through johnstone insistence on anywhere
anymore as far as i know i don't have to point three billion friends i'd like to
but i don't think there's a real micro
we have twenty thousand press
now throttling
but is not the same place so if you go to their jobs face book page
and you'll see me but
i will really be there talking to you
how do you know it's really neat
it's a question for the aids crisis
because love also on face book you have micros voice
three years ago
four thousand friends and i think that's a picture of me
they should i picture my lyrics but they're one of my face but i've never
been to this page
and this person answers questions and people say really lovely things about me
in the show
it's not a
what about twitter palaces all over the life of its workers i want to be the
real micro on twitter
what do i find first i find micro on twitter
it's a parity of micro and this guy has a bunch of followers and he answers
questions
as he is very funny absolutely hysterical
go a little bit further though
did you find a little out of micro site had no beef with anybody may micro this
guy calls himself the real mike reliable reasons and he's not the real my growing
causes picture
which to discredit you know gives him a certain inconsistency vis-a-vis his
claim
and as i guess the side of beef with that says that he's a real micro
and i was a real crop
but work is really screws were defined people like this
this guy calls himself
the real micro he's on twitter too
but he uses a picture of me
c that's not cool
it so that all wikipedia another bashing accurate web related information but
they're again
and their uses both in his native peoples somewhere here on april tenth
interesa
as microliters your pages finish the deal with the production company for my
birthday orwell
fantastic
building a house with microspheres was released on christmas a happy ending up
eroded it's right there my face it's not really
made the point is
kristen you're exactly right now with more right bounce around here where but
more or if i don't see this that the other this brought back some memories of
the america this see this guy
he's a prisoner
in jail somewhere up in one of the dakotas disdains micro he's suing me
because other teammates are making
fought at his expense
he's a decent dirty jobs comments its own
is complicated
worry one wire hangers here right it so that that's a big deal and this problem
and i have decided the only sensible way to prove it
custody olive passport and showing okay this is really great kristin it is
until their service andy
apoptosis on a brand new you to page so you will also with the same photo on
face book page so the real my growth will really prove he's a real proverbial
real-life rose might really be micro but unless you see
them holding a picture of themselves on their own passport on the social work
i'm going this way is my own way to s verify improving in the future speaking
to his ongoing dialogue and i certainly hope we do you can say with confidence
that the person you're listening to looking at talking to a corresponding
around is in fact
i can see a lot of micro release this one
had no idea how is
flowers to everyone
but i didn't burn this really is my office laid out by flowers through his
mature everywhere
