Freedom ain't quite Free

A sad but true reality. The need to maintain a more professional image on the outside has forced me to take my immature childish nature and appreciation for all things gutter and entertaining into the closet. Do I wish I could rip a fart from a mountaintop and have the whole world hear it....sure I do...but that isn't exactly good for business. Let's face it, though nothing makes me laugh like a meaty fart, money also plays an important role in my life.

Now, the blog name is more anonymous, the location is no longer tied to it's creator and privacy can be better kept. I've spent a huge part of my life working on creating my life the way it is now and continues to grow, the last thing I want to do is tear it down because I might joke about a dump the size of a car fender.

So....what's new you might ask?

Well....my business is rolling well, even though one of my biggest customer's is pulling a hefty chunk away and closing down an entire service element of what they provide. Does that suck...you bet! So far, I have been able to pick up some extra activity, thanks in part to Hillary and Obama for continuing to duke it out. The longer they fight for the right to call themselves a nominee, the better chances I have to provide representation services to folks that support them. Currently, I have a rep covering "Barry" and hope to be able to cover Miss Congeniality's charter in the near future.

Recently, I was on the road flying around with Obama's charter. I had a ball. It's just the kind of work I really thrive on. Fast paced coordination! Sure, it may be kind of a hurry up and wait game, but that hurry up time can be intense. Loved it! I learned a lot about the press while I was onboard. It's fascinating to hear the opinions of the camera and support people vs. what you hear in the newspapers and 24 hour news channels. The filtering that takes place is down right scary. Jeff Conlin is right...the best source for political news is CSPAN. I'll share some inside information on the candidate himself....ready....He likes Cheese and Crackers. If that doesn't make you want to vote for him, I don't know what will. Judging by the way people faint when he sneezes...that kind of information might be life changing for people who love him that much. As for me...I really like the guy....Personally that is. His political message is lacking...well...a message. Hillary is the best thing for the Republican party and as much as I don't want to see her winning a chance to become the president....she might be what the republican's need to get out and vote.

God only knows there is SOOOO much stuff I'm missing from the last time I blogged. I just don't have the energy to type it in. Work has been CRAZY lately and I'm very tired. No sleep last night either. I had about 4-5 hours available, but my body kept waking up with "Alarm anticipation." I hate that!

Rob and I are going to have lunch today. I had the chance to hang out with him last week for a few hours and it was wonderful. Not only did we have a chance to have some dinner and chat...we played a killer game of Scrabble. Had I not gotten the "Q" and the "J" so late in the game...I probably could have won, but the board itself was very tight.

OK, it's 0909L and I'm ready for a nap. Hopefully my comfort level will be more relaxed with blogging here and my loyal fans won't have to wait so long for updates. My stomach just sent me a message....it's time to locate some breakfast. I'm out!

I was wondering when the jump to anonymity was going to happen. Sad but true - its required when you're sticking your neck out on your own like that. Glad to hear its taking root, though, brother. You deserve it.

(you do know that each entry still says, 'posted by Brainsky' at the bottom, right?) Now my comment mentioning this fact will live on in perpetuity, and I just ruined it for you. Ah well.

Nice pic by the way! I think personality goes a long way, and that's a big part of his momentum (same with Huckabee for that matter). I think it would be easier to stomach a president whose politics I don't quite agree with, but whose general demeanor and candor I respect. I wish the candidates were forced to reveal their planned cabinets right now...
