Tag, I'm It!

NextStage: Predictive Intelligence, Persuasion Engineering, Interactive Analytics and Behavioral MetricsBrad Berens honors me by allowing me to call him "friend" and with his mention of me in Answering Tom Hespos with 5 Things About Myself. Evidently there's a blogging game going on "...in which the blogger shares five non-obvious things about him or herself...". This is very difficult for me. I saw this post this morning and it's taken me most of the day and several conversations with my wife, Susan, to come up with some responses.

I'm of the opinion that I'm not a very interesting person. Dull and boring, in fact. I tend to answer questions about myself and my life when asked as I'm usually flattered by the attention. Okay. Here goes...

  • I cry every time I watch The Iron Giant.
  • It's only been the past five or six years that I've felt I'm actually ready to be serious about my life, which means I've done more laughing in the past five or six years than in the previous forty-five.
  • Each morning I wake up and both give a blessing and say a thank you for what I have around me.
  • I'm perpetually dumbfounded by people's opinions of me.
  • There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the most wonderful, beautiful thing that has ever happened to me will be the next thing that happens to me.
Now, who to tag? Sorry, I don't know that many bloggers well enough to invite them to play tag. Like I told you, I'm boring and dull.

Hey Joseph - I am honored. But, I already played the tag game (and don't be offended, I actually tagged all my readers). The fact that I was already tagged goes to the heart of social network theory: if we only know 100 people, and they each know 100 people, and they each know 100 people, we are technically 3 or fewer degrees of separation away from 1 million people. But in fact, the 100 people we know mostly know the same people as we do (the way that I know Eric Mattson, the other person you tagged), and hence the theory diverges from reality.

Once again, I've demonstrated my luddiosity! This does lend credence to my 2nd unobvious thing, though. I now have something else to laugh at about myself.
Happy holidays, all. - Joseph
