The number simply means, well, statistically speaking, that I probably have about the same number of years behind me as I do ahead. It's the same reason Dallas Sidekicks players Ricardinho (#79), Michael Uremovich (#84, Mike's son), and Arthur Ivo (#89) chose their numbers (check out the roster at DallasSidekicks.net). Any other meaning beyond that I can only leave for you to work out in your own minds. Just sayin'.
You know the question is several years old, and thus I can't take it personally? But I do have a tendency to play along with the joke.
