Nielsen’s Nook

If anyone ever tells me to lighten up on this blog I will point vociferously to this post. But now you can know a little about me because I have been tagged, sociologically speaking that means I am obligated to tell you about myself upon the pain of banishment from the bloggoshpere by Mike Vendsel and Joel (Garver?).

Four Jobs I Have Had:
1. Singer-Song Writer (Don’t worry, you are not losing your prowess in the music world. I am sure you have never heard of me, but we did get paid more than beer)
2. Underwriter for a High-Risk Auto-Insurance Company
3. Missionary
4. President/CEO Nielsen Digital

Four Movies I Could Watch Over and Over Again:
1. Luther (Joseph Fienes) - We get a human Luther, to whom I relate to very much. The only historical quams I have with the movie is that they portray Luther as tall, skinny and handsome!
2. Shadow Lands (I know there were Hollywood embellishments, thanks for ruining it for me!)
3. Lord of the Rings Trilogy
4. Bourne Series

Four Books I Could Read Over and Over:
1. Lord of the Rings Trilogy
2. Братя Карамазови (Brothers Karamazov)
3. The Little Giant by Oscar Wilde (it’s a shortstory with enormous redemptive qualities)
4. The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde (an incredibly creative conveying of the sinfulness present at the very core of human beings)

Four Places I Have Lived:
Dallas, Texas
Moscow, Russia
Tver, Russia
Columbia, South Carolina

Four TV Shows I Watch:
1. CSI - Miami - when it is not overly gross, which lately is the case.
2. Law & Order
3. Law & Order:SVU
4. Without a Trace

Gee, I guess we like cop shows.

Four Places I Have Been On Vacation:
1. Prague, Czech Republic
2. Tallinn, Estonia
3. Maui
4. Fairplay, Colorado

Four Websites I visit Daily:
What is a website?

1. The Website Nielsen Digital is developing that day.
2. Yahoo/MSN Finance
3. CNN
4. NY Times

Four Favorite Foods:
1. Cynthia’s Pitzis
2. Chipotle Fajita Burrito
3. Greek Veal
4. Shiner Bock

Four Places I’d Like To Be Now:
All assume that I am with my wife, for to be without her there is not a place I would want to be at all, ever.
1. Any place but Texas
2. In a church body that demonstrates Christ in community and daily worship/living (that is not to say that the one that I am at does not do these things - but you asked where I wanted to be now)
3. Someplace where women are not subtly suppressed with arbitrary strictures of society and where there is at least a seed of appreciation for the diversity God instilled in the entirety of the human race.
4. Any place that has good Mexican food.
