My Statement

"Let me emphatically say that I am not anti-Facebook (Fleecebook), anti-smart phone, anti-Microsoft, anti-Apple, anti-Google or anti-Internet. I do believe, though, that the consumer is being ripped off of his privacy, identity and purchase history. We are being herded into a Facebook corner where what we "Like" and where we go physically and on the net will be scrutinized and sold numerous times to actually corrode and erode our culture while tempting us only with convenience, high tech and flashing video screens. The unsuspecting consumers need to be aware..." - Gary Lapman

Just A Fool No More

Here I sit on All Fool's Day believing that I am the fool.  I am letting this nasty, nasty job market get the best of me.  My perspective is crisp and renewed.  All that I have to do now is to get my momentum going again.  There is a new job for me and I'm going to find it!

 It is so easy to fall into depression.  I have nobody to blame for the way the market is.  It has just changed.  Metamorphosed.  It is now tougher and sleeker and faster moving than it ever was.  I have to run harder and faster just to catch up with the trends.

 What will I reinvent myself as? What positions will I stretch into? What attention will be paid to me? [What can I get away with?]  I just want and need to be part of it all again, very soon...
