Liars

The bad thing about liars is that they lie so much that they forget their lies.   Then they deny that they said the lie in the first place.    This inconsistency doesn't really bother them.
~
Because they're liars.
~
In the end they hurt themselves.... and complain to everybody who will listen about how hard, unfair and bad their lives are.  
~
Another Lie.
~
Here's a little word of advice from the Bard... you pathetic losers.
This above all: to thine own self be true,
Hamlet Act 1, scene 3, 78–82

Fishing Plans

Its' the last real week of the summer.  Eighty Degree temps are predicted for Friday, so I think that I will be taking the WhaleEye out for a last ditch chance to find some Striper or Bluefish Blitzes.
~
They'll be some fine Peeps on board and plenty of libation, so it really won't matter if we catch fish.  But catching fish would go so well with friends and drinks.

Find some cod.

The Cod is a species of fish that has been a proven commodity in trade markets internationally. Its great population off the shores of Massachusetts in the 17th and 18th centuries enabled the idea of economic stabilization and independence for the early settlers.

Now, hippies try to protect them....Vona's try to catch them...I like to stick them in my pants

Super Salmon

There is a big furor on the news tonight about genetically engineered salmon.  Seems like science has introduced some Pacific Salmon genes as well as those from other fish into Atlantic Salmon that causes it to grow three times as fast and bigger than its wild counterpart.
~
Protesters are calling it "Franken Fish" and urging the FDA  to ban it.
~
I hope they don't stop at a KFC on the way home from the protest.   Because the chicken that they eat have been genetically engineered for centuries.   Have you seen a white feathered chicken pecking around in the field and woods lately?
~
If you don't want to eat some beefed up Salmon, then freaking don't eat it.   But don't tell me what to eat.  In fact, I'm kind of in the mood for a Kentucky Fried Chicken Double Down right about now.

Just remember, modified chickens can't escape and wipe out the wild population of, oh, say partridge. Generally when we (the smart ones?) introduce a non-native life form, some unforeseen disaster follows. I'd hate to see some freak salmon that shouldn't exist eat all of the lobsters in Marblehead harbor. And yes, this particular scenario is far-fetched; but not that far-fetched.

Aggies Scare

Florida International University gave the Nanepashemet Official Division I NCAA Football Team, the Texas A&M Agggies whose assistant Offensive Line Coach is our own SuperPeep, Benny Martin, quite a scare, as the Aggies had to come from behind in the 4th quarter to salvage a win, 27 to 20.
~
A win is a win.  The Martin Dynasty contines.

Off the Wagon

Tommy O and Linda dropped by for an innocent cocktail last evening, and after my third Mount Gay and Coke Zero, I lost all of my self control and ordered Chinese from Feng Wah.
~
Completely off of the no carb wagon - especially with the garlic noodles and the pork fried rice.
~
Normally there would be extensive remorse and self loathing over this act of dietary weakness, but I had a very physically active morning yesterday... shoveling and spreading two yard of loam into the backyard and Beverly Ave. and doing four property showings.
~
Our Beverly Ave. property showed very well, and we have a hot prospect for the Sundance School site, so optimism prevails.   Since we got Beverly Ave so spiffy clean and organized, I think that it might be our preference to stay here, but I'm sure that when Khalsa Design architects have finished the plans for Sundance, that will be an exciting option too.
~
Crunch time will be when the offers start to appear, which might not be too long.
~
But it's back on the no carb regimen today.  I'll get my exercise in by pulling the lobster traps before the Patriots Game.

POTW Week 35

I was just talking to Kevin Rockett up at the Gerry about how unbelieveable it is that people stiff you in business.  They ask you to do the work and then they just don't pay you.

Announcing....
Nanepashemet Peeps pf the Week for the 35th Week of 2010,

Kevin Rockett
Dave Bruett
Leonardo DiCaprio
Jane Curtain
Maria Rowen
Mike Murphy

We don't have that problem at Nanepashemet Telecom.  Because we are such pricks to you if you don't pay us.

Smooth Sailing

Our Nanepashemet Telecom work in Washington and Baltimore is going well.  So is the project in Richmond, VA.  The New England work continues to cook away.  The Oregon work is on hold, but I'm pretty optimistic that it can kick in.
~
So what is the problem???
~
Nothing.
~
I was just saying.

Deck Chair Arrangement

So the Spindoctor ABC Newscasters are saying that the Tea Party victories in Tuesday's primary elections represent a split and challenge to the Republican Party.
~
It can't be that they just don't get it.
~
They are trying to build a breakwater in front of a tsunami.
~
Pelosi and Obama and their advocacy for the incursion of Big Government into our private lives.... these are the targets of this movement.  The Republican primaries were just the first indication of this wave.
~
Any efforts by the thought police to deflect this tsumani are counter productive....  Rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.  
~
Let's see how they spin things in November.

Professional Sports Reporting

My heart goes out for Inez Sainz, the Mexican Sports reporter who was harassed by the New York Jets by catcalls and footballs thrown her way during practice.
~
The marrried, mother of three was just trying to do her job.
~
Imagine the depravity of someone who would catcall her!!!  Sexcrazed, perverted Jets players.
~
It's just another reason why I'm a Patriots fan.
~
There's just no justice for a smoking hot Reporter who has to hang around in professional football player's locker rooms in skin tight every day attire.
~
When can we finally learn to treat people with the respect that they deserve?

If you meet our reasonable asking price, I may even throw in a kayak or two.

Eat to Live

A side benefit of my low carb diet has been increased energy.  You don't get that heavy fatigue in the late afternoon, and you can get a lot more done.
~
As much as I like pizza, bread, pasta and potatoes.... it's easy to give them up in exchange for losing weight and feeling more energetic throughout the day.
~
So when I get to my ideal weight around the end of this year, it will be interesting to see if I can integrate the foods that I love, while maintaining the energy level.   I'm starting to see the logic in "Eating to Live" rather than "Living to Eat".

Aggies Roll

Texas A&M romped over Louisiana Tech yesterday by a lopsided score of 48 to 16.
~
Our boy Benny is undefeated.
