Oh, the horror! Life without Google

"When Google Owns You" So, some guy is devastated when he is locked out of all (yes, you read that right, ALL) of his Google accounts.
Oh come on. Suck it up. You lose access to your Google for a day. What happens?

• You miss a few emails from your friends about some party they're having: they'll call you or something. Or you can stay in. Or go to a random bar and pick up a stranger for a night of wild sex. Whatever.
• You miss your update from the various stupid websites that you never read anyway, but always intend to 'get around to'. Try a book.
• You can't update your blog for a day or so. Well, honey, neither can I half the time, but I'm blaming that on Grey Goose, not Google.
• You lose access to the Google spreadsheet you and your housemates use to keep track of who bought the Tide and toilet paper. Pin your reciepts to their door and take the money out of their wallet. You don't live with uptight people, right?
• You can't check on Google analytics to see who is reading your blog, and you've been noticing for a while than one of your fourteen regular readers is from Korea, and you suspect it is a cute Korean girl who likes your picture, so you've been dropping some cool references to Asian pop stars in and are dying to see if she read them... You need to get out more. Really.
• Your photos should be on facebook or on your wall.
• Your groups won't notice you are gone.

Face it, the only Google apps that are necessary for life as we know it are maps and search, and you don't need an account for those.

If I lost access to facebook for a day, though... no, I can't even picture it. It's too painful.
