Seth Godin... In My Head

In my head, before today I rehearsed telling you this, over and over, and over again. I've started and stopped, and stopped and started writing this more than a bunch of times. But now, I'm just going to come out and say it... I have a bit of a crush on Seth Godin.

For me to say that, that's big. Especially because there are very few people that I even admire.

I'm attracted to Seth's genius. Because yes, he is a genius. I've been milling over the idea of mentioning that I think he's so awesome, but I just hadn't quite got up the nerve to say it. So I put it off, and put it off, and put it off. In my head, saying it seemed scary.

The truth is, there's a couple of things that makes this seem kind of scary. You know, like, feeling like being kind of secretive about something (or someone), because it's something that no one else knows anything about, but you. And I mean it, no one knew this.

So, I finally told you that I've had a secret. And that, coming from me, is big.

Part of what still makes telling you this scary is that the idea of telling you practically makes my hair stand on end. I mean, what are you going to think? Maybe you think having a crush on Seth Godin is stupid. And maybe you think that my admiration for him is stupid. Lord knows, I've had it with feeling or being judged. Although, I'm think I'm like a lot of you out there. If you ask me, I'll tell you what I think.

See, in my real life, I talk about Seth all the time. In my cyber-life, never. I don't know what my real-life friends think about it, every time - excuse me, I should say, all of the times - that I talk about what Seth said or Seth taught me. I talk about Seth Godin a lot.

In my head, Seth and I are good friends. We're close. In my head, I wonder if we'd talk about all of the things that I think we'd talk about. In my head, we both live nowhere but meet somewhere. In my head, we'd meet somewhere around mid-Manhattan for coffee and conversation and talk for hours about nothing, and talk about important, real stuff too. We'd talk about the future. We'd talk about the Internet. And of course, we'd talk about marketing.

In my head, I think about what it would be like to actually know him - to hang out with him. Because I seriously get a kick out of him. I can't be the only one - there has to be others. I think.

Seth is smart. And he's sexy.
Is he sexy because he's smart?

Probably. Seth is definitely completely adorable. And he's one of the hottest marketing guys on the Net. And look, because I said that, don't go writing me off as some crazy, obsessed person. Because I'm not. I have a healthy type of crush on him. I mean, be for real. I actually have some degree of access to the guy. Yep, I sure do. And not in my head, either.

I'm a member of his Triiibe. We've written back and forth, an email or two, here and there. He told me that he likes my website. I was surprised when he mentioned that he looked at it. The web design guys that designed my site loved getting the compliment and were graciously surprised.

I'm pretty busy doing my party and event planning work. So I don't really want to (or have time to) be all up in Seth's grill, infiltrating his life and everything. What I wonder about is what he thinks about stuff. Like, what does he think about any given subject, today? I mean, sure, he writes on his blog. He spreads his ideas everyday. But in my head, I wonder what he's thinking about when it comes to everything.

In my head, I wonder how far removed genius is from being prophetic. In my head, I've wondered if Seth is prophetic. I think I recently mentioned to him that I thought he was prophetic. Or, maybe I thought that I did... In my head.

I want everyone to know him. I want Oprah to interview him. I can't believe she hasn't already done it. I bet you one day that Oprah will interview him. I'll let you know when it happens. I promise. For sure, I'll let you know when Oprah interviews Seth Godin. And not in my head, either.

Now "the cat is out of the bag". So, in the future - when I mention Seth Godin - you'll know that I'm talking about someone who I greatly admire, who seems to be a beautiful human being. Seth, if you're reading this, this is completely harmless. Because it's just in my head. And sometimes what's in your head can be just as much fun as reality.

If you are also a Seth Godin fan and have something to say, feel free to weigh in. Maybe your mother told you this (and if she didn't, she should have), "If you don't have something nice to say, you shouldn't say anything at all."
