I keep it cool.

the 44th President of the United States...Bara...

My goodness, will you just look at the time? It’s inauguration day already! Where did the months fly off too?

I have a confession to make – I’m not really here. Meaning that I’m not actually writing this on the day of the inauguration, because I plan on being firmly ensconced in a comfortable chair with a beer and bowl of Cheetos® to keep me company.

Oh, and coffeesister, of course.

I’m writing this the night before and setting it to auto-post early in the morning, because I don’t plan on being online at all. I don’t want to miss a moment of this historic event. I fully realize that all of this will be shown online, but when I’m logged-in I get easily distracted by girls in bikinis and funny news stories (not necessarily in that order).

So tomorrow, the computer goes off and the TV goes on.

I’ve often looked at photos of Lincoln’s inaugural and wished I could have been there, but I’m glad I wasn’t only because I’d be dead by now and I wouldn’t have been able to blog about it at the time because it was a couple of years before the internet came around. They didn’t have TV cameras and Brian Wilson, er.. I mean Williams..  in Lincoln’s time either, although it’s a safe bet they had Walter Cronkite but he was in knee pants and hadn’t gotten started yet.

It’ll be interesting to watch it live to see if anything’s going to happen, and by that I mean anything other than swearing in the first black President of the United States. I mean anything that I’d really rather didn’t happen, but if it’s going to, I want to witness it live right along with the rest of the world.

Like, there’s this guy – I’ve forgotten his name but I don’t want to give him search engine juice anyway, so it’s okay – he’s this total racist who’s said publicly that he’s going to send drones with explosives into the crowd and blow everyone up. I read somewhere that the secret service has “interviewed” such people as a part of their preparation for this momentous occasion, and I’m really hoping that by “interviewed” they mean “chained this nut to a radiator for a week”.

I realize that I sound like someone who goes to the Indy 500 wanting to see cars crash and burn, so don’t get me wrong here; I certainly hope there aren’t any drones or bombs or nuts with bombs and drones. I’m all for Barack and what he’s done so far, not to mention what he’s going to do in the years ahead. You regular readers know I don’t get into the political stuff here, but today (or.. tomorrow?) I have little choice.

I’m excited.

Admittedly, a big part of that excitement comes from “President fatigue”, meaning that I’m absolutely sick and tired of seeing W everywhere. And as funny as it is, I’m even tired of Letterman’s “great moments in presidential speeches” bit because I’m so tired of W in any context, even if they’re poking fun at him.

But on the other hand, I think that if we’d had a great President for the past 8 years, and I don’t mean Al Gore, but some kind of mythical “movie star crossed with a great intellect” President, such as if George Clooney had the brain of Stephen Hawking, the compassion of Ghandi and the wardrobe of Fitty Cent, and he’d been elected in 2000 and was now our outgoing President, I think that even then I’d be excited about Barack Obama.

So that just shows to go ya that it’s not entirely just how sick we all are of GWB, but that Barack is really something.

I mean, he’s cool.

Even Ronald Reagan wasn’t that. He was a great orator with charisma and style, but we haven’t had a cool President since JFK.. so it’s about time.

To heck with a beer and Cheetos®.. a mimosa and some quiche please, with a side of water crackers and brie. After all, we’re ushering in the era of cool.

I have decided to take immediate action and do something about my hit count.

This is because in spite of  winning a contest and getting my little banner thingy posted on big blogs like MEN WITH PENS and WRITING JOURNEY, both of which get millions of hits a day, I am still only getting like 20 hits a day, and most of  those are my wife, coffeesister, and my cat, shadow, when I’m not looking because I’m in the bathroom.

So I’ve decided to model this blog after the ones out there that get the big hits, starting today.  I’m quite  serious about it, and so as to not miss anything, I’ve decided not to just zero in on one tactic, but rather to use them all.  Here we go..

HOW TO INCREASE YOUR TRAFFIC THROUGH AD REVENUE WIDGETS

We all want more traffic, don’t we?  I mean the kind that visits your blog, not the kind you get stuck in on the way home.  AD REVENUE WIDGETS can help you get more traffic.  GOOGLE the term “AD REVENUE WIDGETS” and read what comes up – you’ll find all kinds of helpful advice on how to INCREASE YOUR TRAFFIC!

How, you ask?

Simple!  By using AD REVENUE WIDGETS!  Google the term and read what comes up and then USE THEM.  This will INCREASE YOUR TRAFFIC!  Put them in your sidebar, and monetize your blog TODAY!  That’s what AD REVENUE WIDGETS do!  They will monetize your sidebar by categorizing the fluctuation rhythm of the feedback loop, driving unprecedented amounts of traffic to your blog while at the same time MONETIZING IT!  It’s simple.. and safe.  So what are you waiting for?

Do it TODAY!

A SIMPLE TIP TO INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY IN COMPOSITIONAL ANALYSIS OF THE FORMS ON THE LEFT SIDE BY THE MENU

The form is simple in itself.  THAT’S the key to remembering how to increase productivity.  Because, if you’re stuck in traffic under a bridge or something, and your cell phone rings, and it’s the wife wondering where you are, well.. I don’t blame her.  Where ARE you? DRIVING IN TRAFFIC TO NOWHERE.. if you’re not simplifying the compositional analysis!  So get out there and get it done.  It’s simple.

DON’T BE SLOW TO SEO


Have you gotten your SEO done yet?  SEO stands for Search Engine Orgasms, which every blog needs and every blog should have.  Keywords like “French” and “sexy” should be worked into posts about cooking oil and summers spent at that house down by the lake, where the loons are a’cryin.  If you haven’t gotten it done by now, you just may never get to it and, as a result, you’ll never see your blog blossom into the mega-blog it’s meant to be!  So get to it.  NOW.

COOKING ON CAMP STOVES IN THE RAIN

Let’s say you’re camping, and it’s raining.  You’d be ill-advised to cook on any kind of apparatus OUTSIDE!  But let’s just say, for the sake of argument, that bears have snuck into your camping unit – be it a tent, RV or whatever – and they’ve locked you out so that they can consume all of the bacon inside.

Well, it looks as though you are NOT going to have bacon for dinner, my friend!

But that’s okay – you can still have trout, or baked beans – as long as you brought it outside before the bears came – and so it looks as though you’ll be cooking in the rain.  It’s simple! Get a tarp.  Cover the fire pit.  Wait until it dries off.  Start a fire.  Cook your trout and/or baked beans.  If the bears finish the bacon and come back out..

..run like hell.

PLANTING A BEAUTIFUL ROOFTOP GARDEN WHEN YOU LIVE ON THE FIRST FLOOR OF AN APARTMENT BUILDING

Everyone loves gardens.  BEAUTIFUL gardens, on rooftops!  But we all have mean building superintendents and/or managers who won’t let us go up there and PLANT beautiful rooftop gardens.

Oh, what to DO?

First, it’s helpful if your building superintendent and/or manager is male – doesn’t matter if he’s married or not – just go out and get him the the best damn looking hooker you can find – spare no expense.  Get a Julia Roberts type.  Not Julia NOW, with those teeth, but Julia from “Pretty Woman.”  Pay for about a day’s worth of action, because that’s what it’s going to take you to get this done.

Send the hooker up to the building superintendent and/or manager’s office and once you hear the appropriate sounds, get to work.  Presumably, you did a little preliminary planning by visiting a nursery before scouting the boulevard for the right girl?

GOOD!

Now get up there and PLANT THAT GARDEN! Petunias are best in high altitudes – say, over ten stories – and you’ll want to use a high grade topsoil for the roses and radishes (might as well make this as functional as it is beautiful).  MOST IMPORTANTLY, when you hear screaming noises coming from below, your building superintendent and/or manager is almost finished, but not quite.  CALL THE COPS!

Give them the apartment number where the action is taking place.  This will assure that your building superintendent and/or manager will go away for a good long time, so your newly planted rooftop garden won’t be discovered and ripped out.

CONGRATULATIONS! Enjoy the beauty and the breath taking view of the roofs across the street.

BRAD AND ANGELINA CALL IT QUITS!

Film star BRAD PITT, and his lovely film star wife ANGELINA JOLIE, called it quits today on the set of their latest action film, “ASSASSIN IN THE RAIN“.  Confidential sources close to the elusive couple cited the reason for “calling it quits” was that every scene scheduled to be shot that day had been completed, and the director of the film, Ron Sheldon, was overheard telling the couple, “See you both back here at six AM sharp”.

“BRANGELINA”, as they have been affectionately dubbed by the press, then “called it quits” and went home for the evening, or perhaps out to rendezvous with another Hollywood mega-star couple, “TOMKAT“.

Ooooh, hey LOOKBEAUTIFUL, SEXY SUPER MODELS IN LINGERIE!

Now I’ll just kick back and watch the bucks roll in.
