Tag: Brian Carter Is It. (And so I interview myself…)

Image by Pat McDonald via FlickrI groaned when Gina LaGuardia sent me this. I was flattered, and Gina is awesome, but some people recently accused me of being a Social Media Narcissist. Yeah, they're fun people, aren't they?

Well, interviewing myself is not the best way to appear to be less self-centered, is it? :-)

But Brian Carter is "it". Oh yes, he is so it.

ok THAT was narcissistic.

So what does the image to the right have to do with it? Nothing- Zemanta suggested it. I'm not a dancer and my wife doesn't do the splits. But I thought it was kinda cool and romantic and sexy.

Twitter Tag says I should "Share seven facts about yourself in the post — some random, some weird, some pimpy."

All my facts are pimply. I mean pimpy. I don't know what that means. But I'll try anyhow

I've played guitar for 19 years. Mostly acoustic. I've recorded about 90 hours of music. Most of it's not online. Most of it is just guitar, but on some of it I actually sing- yes, I'm scared too.

I used to rock climb when I lived in a state that had objects taller than 40 feet. I bouldered without a safety rope. I climbed at best 5.10b sport climbs. I'm a monster when I'm in rock climbing shape and have a few red bulls. I can't wait til I can do it again more.

I love feta cheese. At times I have eaten 4 lbs of it a week. I put it on angel hair pasta, often with diced olives and garlic.

One of my dogs is named Brad Pitt, because he's so good looking. The other is named Serotonin (Sera for short), because she's crazy and need some kind of neurochemical help.

My wife and I plan to adopt two children - and tell one of them we only wanted the other one - but they were a package deal. Then I will try hard to make sure their therapy doesn't start til after they leave my house.

I was a painfully shy nerd as a kid, so it's miraculous that I speak professionally, and that I go after conference speaking gigs. I owe that to Toastmasters, a bunch of San Diego and San Francisco comedians that helped me learn stand-up comedy, and one awesome pro keynote motivational speaker.

My wife was my teacher - RELAX, it was in grad school! We were both adults. But when we started dating, I kept hearing Van Halen's "Hot For Teacher" on the radio.

Random and Pimply enough?
