A Meme Runs Through it

Well, there’s a meme (which is internetspeak for ‘thing’) running around ‘tagging’ people to tell about themselves. I got hit by Bruce Allen of the Marketing Catalyst blog. Bruce is one of my favorite marketing people and I read his blog daily. So here goes, I’ll leave it to the amateur psychologists as to what this reveals about me.

Four Jobs I've had (in addition to being a Trial Lawyer):

  1. Busboy / Dishwasher
  2. Hungarian and Arabic Interrogator (and Interrogation Instructor)
  3. Computer Consultant / Programmer
  4. Stand-up Comedian

Four movies I can watch over and over:

  1. The Blues Brothers
  2. Real Genius
  3. Lawrence of Arabia
  4. The Mission


Four TV shows I love to watch:


  1. Boston Legal
  2. The Sopranos
  3. The Daily Show
  4. The Family Guy

Four places I've been on vacation:



  1. Las Vegas, Nevada
  2. Grand Canyon, Arizona
  3. Seabird Key, Marathon, Florida

  4. Nassau, Bahamas

Four tunes that play through my head:



  1. Blister in the Sun, Violent Femmes
  2. I Got Life, Soundtrack to Hair
  3. Passacaglia and Fugue in C Minor, BWV 582, J.S. Bach
  4. The Impression That I Get; Mighty, Mighty Bosstones
Four favorite dishes:


  1. Popcorn
  2. Grilled cheese sandwiches
  3. Anything with cheese
  4. Steak and potatoes (I’m a simple guy)
Four websites I visit daily:


  1. Yahoo News
  2. Engadget
  3. Salon
  4. Slate
Four books I really love:


  1. To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee
  2. Neuromancer, William Gibson
  3. The Goal, Eli Goldratt
  4. Anansi Boys, Neil Gaiman
  5. Anything and Everything by Lawrence Block,  Michael Chrichton or Harlan Ellison (I know it’s cheating. But it’s still my answer. I read too much to be pinned down to four books).
Four places I'd rather be:


  1. Sharing ideas with a friend over a beer
  2. Anywhere with a book, or connected to the net
  3. The comedy club

  4. The aquarium with my daughter and wife

Four bloggers I'm tagging:



  1. Mark Zamora, A Georgia Lawyer
  2. John Day, Day on Torts
  3. Kevin O’Keefe, Real Lawyers Have Blogs
  4. Adriana, Linares - I Heart Tech
So that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. I could have doubled or tripled the movies that I love, and cut the television shows in half. So have fun with it and I hope the insight is at least a bit amusing.
