Wrong Bobby Brown

A bunch of you Peeps have been asking me if the Champion Xtreme Skier, Bobby Brown, is one and the same as our own Nanepashemet,  other Mountain of a Man, Bobby Brown.
~
The answer is "HELL NO!"
~
Our Bobby Brown doesn't need no freaking skis to perform his tricks.

Freedom of Speech.

A friend of mine is all worked up because of a work reprimand that was received due to a private Facebook post. I don't blame her for being upset. 
~
In this country we have Freedom of Speech.
~
Which means you can voice your opinion and not be jailed. 
~
And that's it.
~
That doesn't mean that you can't be punished economically by losing your job, or socially by being ostracized for saying what you think.  You can say whatever you want, and can't be prosecuted for it publically.
~
How people treat you privately is a different matter.... even if they are dead wrong.
~
So, Cherish your freedom.... but use it wisely.... especially in this new information age.

Thank you for that ... :)

my neighbor is a secret service agent and he was telling me he can get on any ones facebook account. I guess I am a tad niave (did I spell that right?) for not thinking that was a possibility, or maybe I have nothing to hide. But that is crazy...so when his wife wants dirt on someone he can just look it up.

Weird Work Week

It's been a weird work week and we still have two days left.   Naturally you expect certain issues from the whackjobs that you have to put up with in life.   So if these psychos act up, it's no big deal.
~
But it seems like a lot of crazy shit is hitting the fan from a couple of extra directions.  Lots of CYA, fabrications and cover ups.  It just doesn't have to be this hard.
~
Naturally, being a Mountain of a Man helps to take the hits with little or no effect.  Although I will admit that a lesser person may have trouble coping with some of the unprofessional and psycho bullshit.  When the smoke clears, it always helps to have things in writing.

Lull

Seems like quite a lull for news out there.
~
All this coverage of John Edwards fathering a kid to one of his campaign groupies while his wife is battling cancer..
~
I really don't care who he porks or who he impregnates.
~
Both he and his wife seem like assholes, but who am I to talk?
~
Like I said.... we're kind of in a lull.

...an affront to the flag he stands in front of...White: Signifies purity and innocence Red: Signifies valor and bravery
Blue: Signifies vigilance, perseverance, and justice...John Edwards: Signigies low-life, scum-sucking, sewer rat...

Ize can not imagine throwin' a hump into that saucer-faced bridde of his, nor go guessin' on who would. Its dissgusten. I am keen on hearin' about these other jezebelles he is pleasurin' from behind, like livestock does. Sorta ow natural, like them Frenchies says.

Land of the Free

We live in a country where you have to declare all of your income to the government. And they take a huge piece. And if you don't do it, they seize your property and incarcerate you.
~
That's no exaggeration.
~
Just wondering if this was what the Founding Fathers had in mind.

All Hands on Deck

One of my old friends from Lynn English High School, Tom Holmes, used his camera magic to catch me just as my day started today.
~
Maybe it's  time to set sail.

Budget for Legal

So I'm getting ready to prepare my taxes, and find it incredible how much money I spent last year in legal fees.  For all kinds of stuff.
~
But I'd do it again this year in a nanosecond.  Sorry but I can't let you screw with me, my business,  or anyone in my family.....
~
Since I'm getting a little along in age, I vastly prefer having my lawyers to do my fighting.    And,  I highly recommend that you  keep your hands to yourself.   So if you want to take a slap at me or mine, get out your wallet.  It's going to cost you.

Barbara Walters and Brown

Just watched Scott Brown being interviewed by Baba Wawa.  We've elected one hell of a Senator.  He pinned back the pointy headed, self righteous Walters really well.  
~
Barbara seems to measure him so much on his answers on Gays in the Military, and Abortion.

She's got an original copy of that 28year old Cosmo issue which also had an article about her in it.  Wonder which photo she stared at the most.???

Ideas and Memories

We have the grandkids this weekend, and had a nice visit at FreshAyer.  They really have fun there which is kind of weird.  These visits will be nice memories for them when they get older, if they can remember them at all.  I don't think that we have memories from the toddler age as much as flashes of recognition.   Like if you see a photo of yourself at age three, and seem to remember the Halloween costume you were wearing in the picture.
~
Supposedly, everything that you do is permanently recorded in the collective consciousness that the Hindu's call the Akashic Records.  It's probably good that we mortals forget stuff.  If you remembered everything, you would be so encumbered with memories that you couldn't address the present.
~
In the future, science will figure out what our brains really do....  I wonder how many Gigabits of memory they hold, or how powerful they are as radio transmitters.  I'll bet the answers are that our hearts and brains are virtually powerplants of energy that our senses cannot perceive.   Science will discover that our thoughts are tangible things that forge the reality that we experience.
~
So think good thoughts... just in case I'm right about this.

POTW Week 4

 It was a long, hard fought week at Nanepashemet Telecom.  Keeping your eye on business prospects while maintaining operational quality is not an easy mix.  It's times like this when I thank God that he saw fit to make me the Mountain of a Man that I am.

Announcing....

Nanepashemet Peeps of the Week for the Fourth Week of 2010.

Harvey Leonard

Kerry D'Orio

Steve Ferrar

Tommy O'Shea

Brian Butler

Sarah Crawford

Maybe I'll ratchet the activity down for this weekend, but there is a lot going on, and I can't afford to disappoint any Peeps who need a full dose of MOAM.

Attention Span

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.

• 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.

The cycle takes from six months to a year.... generally the time for our projects to meet their milestones.  We achieve out success by staying true to the big picture, while constantly pushing past the nonsense and nitpicking.
~
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.
