There’s a little game of tag going around the blogosphere. Jeff Pulver started it and through about 10 degrees of separation (part of the chain being: Greywolf’s SEO Blog –> Lisa Barone –> Small Business SEM –> me) , the ball has finally fallen in my court.
I’m supposed to tell you 5 things you don’t know about me…
1. I studied Japanese and Chinese in college – until my English got really bad
2. My favorite drink is freshly squeezed orange juice
3. I performed improv and sketch comedy in LA for 3 years
4. My favorite quotation: Some men see things as they are and ask why. I dream things that never were and say, “why not?”
5. I love to bake desserts, and I’m pretty darn good at it. Chocolate Souffle and Creme Brulee. Yummm.
Now I’m supposed to tag 5 other people:
Justin Kitch – CEO Unplugged, Blog Maverick, Frank Addante’s FounderBlog, Ejove Nuwere, Recognizing Deven
Brian, I like the favorite quote – isn’t that the same one that George just couldn’t get right on seinfeld?
one of my first jobs was as a dishwasher in a restaurant. the worst thing there was having to clean/wash the little ramakins that the creme brulee came in. hope you have a dishwasher.
[...] es, but its taken probably 12 degrees of seperation to get to me, I was tagged by Brian at Comparis [...]
Hi Brian –
Was just about to tag you and see you’ve already been tagged.
If you’re interested, I did some digging into the origins of ‘blog tag’ and traced it back to Sharon Jacobsen’s 10/18/06 post, details at

Cheers — a great 2007 to you

In like your quotation
The phrase originated in Shaw’s play Back to Methuselah (1921), pt. I, act I: You see things; and you say, “Why?” But I dream things that never were; and I say, “Why not?”
There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why? I dream of things that never were, and ask why not~John F. Kennedy used these words in a 1963 speech and correctly attributed them to George Bernard Shaw. His brother, Robert, used them as a theme for his presidential campaign.
