These days, we hear a lot of warnings about how we should be careful about what we put on our personals blogs and MySpace pages, because one day it might come back to haunt us when we're looking for a job or running for office or whatever it is that grown-ups do. But until today, we hadn't thought about the impression our online trail might give if we're ever accused of murder. We imagine Sean Brown and Matthew McCombs, the teens accused of killing 16-year-old Ashton Glover, never thought about it either — but they may wish they had.

As the Chronicle notes today, Brown and McCombs' MySpace pages show their interests center on "guns, girls, video games and 'things that go BOOM!'" Brown's page is definitely the more high school misfit of the two, with a black-and-gray skull theme and a graphic of a revolving handgun in the "Interests" section. But McCombs' page, with a tropical beach photo and a George Strait song playing, also has its interesting points: To the question "Do you play an instrument," he replied, "Is Remmington [sic] an instrument?" Elsewhere in the profile, McCombs said he wants to be a "Killer...'Soldier'...whatever" when he grows up and said he wants to die in "COMBAT!...Or in a rodeo."

Of course, MySpace profiles don't prove anything other than that teenage guys often have strange notions of what impresses people. Brown and McCombs' classmates told the Chronicle they were surprised to hear that the pair had been accused of Glover's murder. And yet McCombs' lying to police about the night Glover disappeared and the pair's foiled attempt to flee to Canada don't really work in their favor, we'd say.

Brown and McCombs are being held in Michigan, where border police nabbed them. Brown has asked for an extradition hearing, which is set for Aug. 5; McCombs waived extradition rights and will be brought back to Texas by Fort Bend County sheriff's officers who are expected to arrive in Michigan today.
