Favor to Ask

I have a favor to ask. I was just walking back from class and thinking: wouldn't it be great if I could get feedback on how I come across to other people? And then I thought: I bet I can. So long story short, I think it would be awesome if anybody here was willing to basically narrate me to me. I've been focusing lately on being super intentional about how I live day to day, from activities I choose to (or not to) engage in to how I interact and relate with people, and it would be super helpful to get a view from the other end. Obviously I haven't been around for a while, but I think everyone knows me well enough to have some observations. I find it really hard to get real, personal feedback and I couldn't think of better people to ask for it. I don't want this to be a mutual masturbation exercise, so honesty is the name of the game. If I'm an asshole, I'd love to hear about it. If my dick is my best characteristic, I'd love to hear about it. I'm pretty hard to offend these days. If you don't have time or don't feel like saying anything, that's totally cool too. E-mailing me is probably the best way to do this, mine is mattbaranmickle@gmail.com, which I think everyone has. Many thanks in advance.

1. Has anyone answered your request

2. it would be even more interesting (for all of us) if we responded withen this blog post throught the comments so that our perspectives could be seen side by side--one after the other. Nathan pointed out though that one person's post may influnce the next but i think we could subvert that or send you our perspectives then have you repost them for all...

WHAT DO YOU THINK??

No responses yet. I had the same concern as Nathan, but I don't really care either way. Re-posting from email is a good idea though.

Matt, Ill send you some thoughts when I have time(right now im struggling to finish an big paper) but I just thought of an interesting idea that I wanted to throw out there. wouldnt it be interesting to see your own funeral? I think you would learn alot about yourself by seeing who came to your funeral and by what they said. maybe you should have a mock funeral.....
