Zeddie Little

I don't own "the" photogenic dog, but I do own a good looking pup, seen here: https://twitter.com/#!/watkins_little/status/191224916559921155/photo/1

Her name is Jamma, she's about 3, and was a rescue at about 5 days old. I think she's a golden-chow mix. Best dog I could ever imagine.

Nope. Brooks Running has been in touch, (I was photographed wearing their racing shoes and shorts) and we've been throwing around some ideas.

I haven't been too much in contact with agencies or whatever, but I'm not opposed to doing commercials/modeling/etc. I think it would be a new and fun experience.

I have, however, been contacted by the John Ritter Foundation to run the NYC marathon this year. I'll be running to raise awareness for Aortic Health. I am really glad they contacted me to do it.

I have to say, I really enjoy being part of such a good joke. I was noticed by an older woman around 70 or so in the grocery store on Saturday and she was ecstatic, saying, "I saw you on my TV!"

As well, I'm completely honored to be approached by the John Ritter Foundation for Aortic Health to run the NYC marathon. Any way I can promote healthy living and such positivity is really humbling.

Starting this past Friday, the 13th, people have really started noticing me. It's still a new experience - people knowing you from a random picture. It's all been in good fun, which is cool.

I went running throughout the City last night and a couple people yelled at me throughout my run.

I bartend at a restaurant in NYC and I manage web content and PR material for a pretty rad music venue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Hobbies: I like running, listening to too much music, and am really into the NYC food scene -- I cooked for about 6 years and a little here in the City, and I just can't shake the bug i have for cooking/eating/learning about food and gastronomy.

Haha! I'm pretty sure I'm miles away from even being a contender, nor would I ever expect it.

Ok, I'll give it a shot?

I'm not sure. I am one of several Zeddies in a line of generations. It might be a southern thing?

Oh man, I kinda saw this one coming, haha. Just shampoo, maybe conditioner, no particular brand or whatever. Its really thin so I just use wax/pomade from Keihl's (product placement?). And once in a while go to a cool barber called Freeman's.

yep

Hey guys, I just want to say I'm having a ton of fun doing this interview.

Thanks to all of you for making this random picture such a phenomenon. It would most likely have gone entirely unnoticed without the your collective powers here.

I'll start answering more questions, and quicker. Just been getting a feel for this.

Thanks you all so much, again!

I'm having fun! Thanks!

Rad! Thanks for the likeness!

I got a call from Redditor friends about 4 hours after the images was initially posted on the internet. They were saying I was number one on Reddit, and gave no explanation, so I assumed whatever it was was really bad, but I was racking my brain as to what it could have been.

When I finally saw the photo I laughed for about an hour. It was just surreal. It's still surreal.

Haha, someone set this profile up for me in order to do the AMA.

I knew of Reddit and sort of how it worked, but nowhere near this directly.

Can I have this?

It got to a point where it felt weird looking at a billion pics of mysef, so I might have missed out on any recent ones within the past week or so.

There are a ton of great ones. Off the top of my head, I like the "Record Milk Sales" one, the creepy Wolverine one and definitely the RPG photoshopped into the North By Northwest airplane scene.

They love it. My dad was so proud he would have given away my complete biography, complete with SSN to a journalist until I had to ask him to dial it back a little bit, haha.

Yeah, I've always found memes funny, but never, ever though I'd BECOME one. Bizarre.

1. Recently, yes, kinda frequently.
2. "Really? Wha?"
3. Through my family.
4. No, though I'll take offers, haha.
5. Everyone is enjoying it. It's a joke everyone can have fun with.
6. I don't not like it. It's funny having people recognizing me, and for smiling in a photo, so I can't complain, ya know?
7. Spoiler: It wasn't a marathon, it was a 10K. And no, I've never ran a marathon, so the offer from the Riter Foundation kinda solidified my commitment to actually run one.
8. Yeah, I talked with him a few days before and arranged to have ABC fly him up for the GMA interview, I didn't want to go on alone. We still talk daily.
9. Not really, but now I will start. There's some cool stuff on here, for sure.
10. Nah.

Michaelangelo. Duh.

Nothing yet...

Always, I guess.

The run was a 10K, I've yet to run a marathon, though.

My chip time was 47:16 I believe.

Regardless of who the subject is, Will King took a great photo. I've told Will, the photographer, that as well.

Good, really. Thanks for liking me guys! It's still just a crazy experience, but I'm having fun with it.

I'm sure I have plenty. I haven't been one to take many pictures, honestly.

My phone was bombarded around 5pm that Monday it was posted by Redditor friends.

I do not. Really?

Nope. I'm not against it, though.

I did ok. The race started an hour late, and it was really hot by the time it was underway. I've had better runs, I'd think.

I had a Redditor friend set up an account with this name, just a placeholder I guess. I was unfamiliar with using reddit other than just reading it, before this AMA.

Total fluke. My friend was among the crowd while I was running. They were behind me, actually, and as I turned around I guess I looked straight into a camera lens.

I've never thought of myself as "photogenic". I've heard people say it before, and I've always just said "Thanks?", thinking nothing of it.

I dont really time myself, honestly. I'll just try to go faster or further than the last run, depending. I have never been competitive, so I guess that's why. This was the second official "race" I've run. I like running as an individual activity as well, but I want to enter in some more races.

I just hope to complete the marathon, hopefully without having to walk and under 4 hours, I gues

Ooh, good question, sir. I really like the Grass Fed burger at Back Forty in the East Village in NYC.

I would time and again, and I was actually wondering the correct spelling of it like a day before this all broke. I had a tendency to start by spelling it as "re.."

I've had stage fright in the past, but with TV, there's not really a visible audience to make you nervous. I just got lost in the lights and started going with it.

Hi there!

1. Eggs benedict. Classic.
2. Can you poach an egg?

Cypress. I grew up in the south around a lot of Cypress trees. Their root structure is interesting, too.

Did I? Craziness.

Yep, I speak with him frequently, and we went on Good Morning America together.

I grew up in Charleston, SC.

Anything, really. A lot of underground/alternative/indie stuff, and ambient. Throughout this AMA I have been listening to the new Spiritualized and Lotus Plaza albums.

Got the dog when she was like 10 days old, so I had no clue what she'd look like!

?

Ok everyone, I am going to call it a night.

I really really had a fun time. I hope I answered some solid questions and hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I did.

Again, I want to thank all of you for this opportunity and catapulting my likeness to world renown. I;ve said it before, but it's all so surreal and greatly appreciated.

Looks like I'm now a Redditor! I might change the name, but who knows.

Thank you again for a great time!

Good night! Zeddie

if you'd like, follow me @watkins_little

I had no clue at all.

None, so far.

yep, near the start, by Bacco on Coleman.

T7 racers and PureConnect. My first pair of Brooks was the Trance 6.
