I didn't really listen to President Obama's speech last night. I tried to pay attention, but kept drifting off practicing scales on my guitar.
~
Every time I tried to get into it, I ended up being sidetracked by Sappy Biden nodding his head like a mindless moron or Speaker Pelosi smirking, drooling and jumping out of her chair at every opportunity to clap like a sophomore cheerleader.
~
Am I the only one who feels nauseous by the sight of these two adults acting like pitiful airheads everytime Barack raises his voice?
~
I did listen when the President said that he was elected for "change" but he never said that he could do it by himself. No Shit. He hasn't got the votes.
~
And I'm so happy that he is going to let gays serve in the military. Does anybody give a shit about that? One tenth of the population is gay. They've always served in the military. Clinton already jumped on a sword with this non-issue. How stupid is Obama to do the same?
~
I'd like to give you an intellectual critique of his State of the Union Speech,... but I didn't/couldn't pay attention.

Business Cycle
We have a business cycle as a small consulting/contracting company that I really didn't anticipate when we founded Nanepashemet Telecom a few years ago. Here is the way that the cycle works.
~
Not sure if this is a model that the Harvard Business School can use in its case studies. But that's the way it seems to work for Nanepashemet Telecom.
~
And we understand what we sell.... not telecom services.... but career advancement of the rank and file. We provide the opportunity for customer staff to attach their corporate career success to the project metrics that Nanepashemet can achieve for them when they identify with our output.
- Nanepashemet fights its way into a customer project contract using prior contacts.
- Various lower tier customer staff have loyalties to a host of other competitors, and throw all kinds of roadblocks.
- Nanepashemet dodges all obstacles and provides superior service regardless of the pitfalls.
- Senior staff of the customer start saying nice things about Nanepashemet because of positive metrics and results.
- Rank and File customer staff start to kiss our ass, and claim that they were in our corner all along.
- Recurring work comes our way from lower tier staff who want to impress senior staff that they are tight with Nanepashemet.

Next Big Thing
Apple is slated to come out with the next big thing tomorrow - the escalation of it's IPhone/ IPod to personal computer status. Pundits call it an Apple Tablet or ISlate and Verizon is rumored to provide on line connectivity.
~
My prediction is that these devices will replace PC's, Telephones and Books within 5 years. This will be the convenient standard necessary for instant intercommunication on a video, voice and data basis.
~
People will have instant access to each other, and all of the information, books and records that they need. It's impossible to predict how this capacity will mold our lives.
~
We will truly be limited only by our imagination, intelligence, and creativity.
~
It will enable all of us to think for ourselves and take personal responsibility. That will be a huge change for the better.

POTW Week 3
I feel bad that our President needed such a jolt of a wake up call this week. When I get woken up that way, I'm generally pretty cranky with Joanne and stuff. Poor Barack probably can't pull that act off wth Michelle, without getting his ass kicked. I'd be afraid to piss her off too.
This has been a special weekend with one day left. For security reasons, I can't give you any details
Announcing.....
Nanepashemet Peeps of the Week for the Third Week of 2010.
Dale Johnson
Senator Robert Menendez
Nancy Pelosi
Christos Laganos
Julie Johnson
Angelina Joli

Bottomless Pitt
So I wake up this morning and get slammed with the rumor that Brad Pitt and Angelina Joli are breaking up.
~
No, there wasn't any screeching or wailing on my part.... just a whole pile of hurt and heartache.
~
I'm willing to offer my considerable skills in marriage counseling for a reduced fee... if only they will make another go.

Cold Morning
It's eight degrees below zero this morning.
~
I know that this would stop most of you in your tracks, but a Mountan of a Man like me doesn't lose a step. As soon as Joanne gets the trash ready for me to take out, I'll get off this couch, put on my boots and ski pants, and bring those bags to the trash bin.
~
I won't even wait for her to shovel the path.

Sleep Tight
I began the day by torturing myself again and watching the ABC Good Morning America show. I pretty much can protect myself from their insidious thought police attempts, (which is a standard attribute of a Mountain of a Man) and today's episode wasn 't one of their worse attempts.
~
But since it was a down news day, they came out with this bit on dirty hotel rooms, and how to detect bed bugs and such. Unfortunately, I'm such an expert on that, having traveled at the government per diem rate for so many years previously.
~
I think that if I still went on business trips for a living, I would pack my own sleeping bag.

Feeder Focus
So this wicked irritating Peep sends me an email yesterday saying, "J. Now that Scott Brown has pulled off his election to the Senate, what will you have to focus on?"
~
What a stupid, irritating, idiotic, moronic, and again stupid question!!!!!
~
Not to mention being wicked annoying.
~
I'll just be paying more attention to the bird feeder.... that's what I'll be focusing on.... you freaking goofball.
~
But now that you mention it, there were two sparrows, a dark eyed junco and the squirrel at the feeder this morning.

Getting Off the Juggernaut Express
Don't know about you, but I woke up this morning for the first time in the last six months or so, not feeling like I was a helpless passenger on the Juggernaut Express with crazy Nancy Pelosi as the Conductor.
~
Stimulate the economy? Sure..... let's flow trillions to zip codes that don't exist. Do you know of one job that has been created???? Me either!
~
Reform Health care? No Problem. Open up the Checkbook, there's always more where that came from. And ram this down everybody's throats while the votes are there.
~
But when I woke up this morning, I just felt like the craziness might be starting to be moderated.

Great Power
Once again, the power of the Nanepashemet Blog is not to be denied.
~
Was Scott Brown not endorsed by Nanepashemet over a week ago????
~
Did Scott Brown not take this "Kennedy Seat" election running away????
~
I rest my case.
~
With great power comes great responsibility. Even though it is obvious that Nanepashemet tipped the scales for Brown, rest assured I will use this power prudently and wisely.
~
When is John Kerry's term up anyway?
Maria Rowen said...
At 9:15 PM last night the Democrats in Washington got their wake-up call from the Park Plaza Hotel and the rest of us got to party with Senator Scott Brown. Please weild your N-Power for Charlie Baker to make the same thing happen in November.
__________________________________________________________________________
I will carefully consider your request, Maria. But what if Harvey decides to run instead? I think you are jumping the gun.

Voice of the People
Just left the polls in mid morning. It was packed with voters. The people are speaking.
~
Thank God we live in a society where the people have an impact.
~
Even if the hapless, misguided Democrats win this seat, this outpouring of citizenship has been inspiring.
~
My head tells me that Scott Brown will win this going away. But I've been wrong before.... once or twice.
Kerry D'Orio said....
I agree. It was nice to young people at the polls exercising their right to vote!

- If you are of a mind, continue to contribute to Brown, the machine will cry fowl and the SEIU thugs are shameless. Lawyers are the next call. We are kicking ass at 9 pm
Major Milestone
Today is slated to be a milestone day.
~
Obama gets a huge message that his policies are polarizing rather than bringing the country together. Hopefully he takes the hint.
~
But by far, the most important milestone is that the Nanepashemet Blog will be hit for the 70,000th time today. That's alot of reaching out in angst, anxiety and inspiration. I certainly hope that you received the solace/vengeance that you were seeking when you went to this Blog 70k times over the past three years or so.
~
Scott Brown is just frosting on the cake.
