I googled something and found something completely unrelated to it, but that thing has a direct real life reference to me.
First off, I googled "staring out across the ocean, I can see a green light in the distance."
This is a quote from The Great Gatsby. I was watching a Smosh video and one of their old twitter posts came up from 2011 with this quote on it.
Some side information, a friend of mine had told me months ago that they loved a song and that I should give it a listen. I've put it off for quite a while, probably 6 months or so. Well, the result of googling that Gatsby quote was just a bunch of links to that song, Michael Jackson - Human Nature. I can't tell if this was the universe telling me to listen to this song or what, but it freaked me out a little. So like any sane person, I finally listened to the song.
Some more side information, no I haven't said that song name out loud since they told me about it. I've thought about it and keep remembering that I should listen to it but not wanting to listen to it knowing that I probably won't like it. So it's not some "google is listening" thing.
tldr: Google took me from Gatsby to Michael Jackson.
