Due to increasingly being tagged in this over on my Facesbook, and in honor of the 250th post on BTAA, here is my official “25 Things You Didn’t Know About Brian Spaeth”.

1) I don’t want anyone to know anything about me.
2) I like to be an enigma.
3) I keep secrets about myself.
4) I have a bad shoulder tattoo.
5) One time, I didn’t tell anyone anything about myself.
6) I have been known to be private.
7) I have a twin sister.
8) My twin sister won’t tell you anything about me.
9) I wrote my entire family into the first and only novel I will ever write.
10) You can get $3 off that book through Monday with this promo code: JGPTR476
11) I make a wonderful chicken dish.
12) I use Twitter.
13) My Twitter feed is becoming more useful than my blog at generating humor.
14) I had to walk a horse around in the background of CSI:NY once, and Gary Senise told me I looked scared of the horse.
15) Gary Senise can see inside my soul with regard to horses.
16) I don’t like telling people things about me.
17) I don’t like you telling people things about me.
18) I like telling things about you, as long as it doesn’t involve me.
19) I don’t want anyone to know I am yoked.
20) I once had to kiss a girl on the set of Las Vegas, and I screwed up twice on purpose because her boyfriend was there.
21) Scoop Jackson is my favorite writer at ESPN, and I don’t think he gets a fair shake.
22) I ended Gilbert Arenas’s career. (Not on purpose.)
23) I once told a tall girl we needed to reproduce for the advancement of mankind.
24) I don’t want attention drawn to me that I did not initiate in some fashion.
25) All of this said, I love being the center of attention.

Really, my book has everything you could possibly want to know about me, plus it’s all fictionalized. Why haven’t you bought it yet?

    For the record I really am scared of horses. They're creepy.

    I know it's coming, so Brian, I urge you to be the conduit. This “25 Things About Me” thing is bound to become a book, and I suggest you 1) float the idea, quietly, to other facebook people and friends, 2) get commitments, 3) write a book proposal, and 4) tell me when you have so I can tell you to whom to submit it. Personally I think it's abhorrent, but “book”.

    Thank me with steak.

    Exactly – heavily designed, but essentially just lists of people's “Things” with an appropriate amount of other profile information, depending on the person.

    I am SO THERE with #23. My life plan goes like this:
    1. Marry a WNBA forward.
    2. Have 20 kids.
    3. Retire after our 6'5 son makes it to the NBA.
    4. ??????

    Then I realize that I have zero athletic talent and that our kids would probably be Muresan-types. Hmm, maybe I can adopt?

    You act like an enigma, but after reading your novel and reading your scripts, you don't really leave much a mystery: you are a megalomaniac. Isn't that all we need to know?

    Yes but my adamant declarations of being private create the aura of enigmaticism.

    The NBA took aways LeBron's triple-double. I guess this confirms that the NBA is out to destroy LeBron James.

    Scoop never gets a fair shake.

    Also, all this book stuff, while very encouraging and enterprising, is making your overall blog posts weak. I mourn for the pre-book Airplanes :(

    On the plus side, the poems are wonderful!

    What you're actually mourning for is a pre-Twitter BTAA. I would go tag the RSS feed of my Twitter – a lot of things that would've been posts end up over there.

    The point is, I apparently can't win with you people lol.
