2011 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 23,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 9 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

2011 – The Debacle (January-March)

“Duh, Winning!”

January:

2011 was a bad year all around.  While the future of Egypt and Wisconsin were in balance, we were more concerned with Charlie Sheen and his goddesses.  (I am guilty of the latter).  I took a look on how Washington and the federal agencies will affect us in 2011.  With the exception of us still having Saturday mail, I nailed it.

February:

A nightmare in my personal life.  My bathroom all but exploded due to a leak from my upstairs neighbor’s bathroom.  Both of my parents got hurt shoveling during a snowstorm and I had to take care of them for what seemed to be a month (but was only for three days.)  My warnings of the Cinemafia started to show that on some things, I know what I am talking about.

March:

The “birthers” compelled me to show my birth certificate.  I finally was mentioned on TV via one of my tweets.  I also mentioned my “Getting America Back to Work” plan.  But March was not too rosy for the campaign.  I had forgotten to mention that the infamous “Walk-a-Thon for Affordable Entertainment Awareness” was canceled in October.  I thought the almost daily blog entries since would have helped people figure that out, but it didn’t.

Tomorrow I will review April through June.

2011 – A Look Back (Goals)

I had high hopes for 2011.  Not only did I not reach any of the goals I had set for the campaign, I did not get high.  Below are the goals I had set for 2011:2011 – 151475 total hits (415.00 hits/day) [projected]

Below are my goals I had set for the campaign for 2011.

1. Averaging 500 unique hits per day on this website.
2. 1,000,000  results when people search for “Ahmnodt Heare” on Google.  (we are currently at 17,600)
3. Enough write-in votes in upcoming 2012 primaries (Democratic and Republican).
4. At least 1,000 blogs mentioning Ahmnodt Heare and the campaign.
5. An “Ahmnodt Girl” video.
6. At least five national television appearances (broadcast or cable).
7. One scandal involving a multitude of women.  (More people are talking about Tiger Woods now than ever before!)

Not only did the number of hits get nowhere 500 a day, they went down for 2011.  I blame this on the CineMafia and America’s hidden love affair for all things Atlanta Falcons.  While I am nowhere near a million results when searching on Google, I am approaching 30,000 when the safe filter is off.  (The number dwindles to 47 when using the safe filter.)  My worst target was hoping 1,000 blogs would write something about my campaign.  It turns out that only 10 blogs mentioned me (9 of which were in the comments section after I had left a comment.)

I am optimistic that 2012 will be the year that someone steps up and does the “Ahmnodt Girl” video.  While I didn’t have an actual appearance, my tweets did.  (One on MSNBC and two on local TV.)  I couldn’t get myself in a scandal no matter how hard I tried.  My scandal plans failed, everything from sending tweets of myself to writing racist newsletters fell upon deaf eyes and ears.  Even the “running into the ladies’ locker room naked” at the gym backfired as there were no women in there when I did it.

My resolution for 2012 is simple:  Learn from my mistakes.  I will learn from my mistakes as soon as I learn what the mistakes I made were.

2011 and Federal Agencies

This week I will be taking a look at what will be happening to Washington in 2011. I will be looking at the House, the Senate, the White House, the Supreme Court, and Federal agencies. Today I will look at federal agencies.

The Republicans are now in  control of the House of the Representatives.  They say they want to make government smaller.  There are two problems with that.  The first problem is the last time Republicans made government smaller, they added $5 trillion to the debt.  The other problem is that Democrats still control the Senate and the White House, and they’re more concerned with keeping and strengthening government programs than they are with managing the debt (Currently at $14 trillion).

Democrats want to give federal agencies more power while Republicans want to give government less power.  This is the opposite from when Bush was President and Republicans wanted more power for the government and Democrats wanted government to have less power (and more money.)  The general rule is that the majority wants more power and the minority wants less.  This pattern will continue until the minority has more people than the majority.

The one agency that could buck this trend is the U.S. Postal Service.  Unlike other agencies, the Postal Service is funded by revenue they generate.  They haven’t been generating as much revenue in recent years as more people are realizing that you can send e-mail without paying $.44 per e-mail.  This is making the Postal Service want to cut mail delivery to 5 days per week and getting rid of Saturday delivery.

While the Postal Service cuts service and personnel, you can breath easy knowing that there will be more TSA agents at airports to grope you and more IRS agents to make sure you’re paying your taxes so the government can pay the TSA agents to grope you.

There will be more government to protect you in 2011 than ever before.  You’ll only to be able to read about it in the mail five days a week.

I’m posting Every Day in 2011!

I’ve decided I want to blog more. Rather than just thinking about doing it, I’m starting right now.  I will be posting on this blog once a day / once a week for all of 2011.

I know it won’t be easy, but it might be fun, inspiring, awesome and wonderful. Therefore I’m promising to make use of The DailyPost, and the community of other bloggers with similiar goals, to help me along the way, including asking for help when I need it and encouraging others when I can.

If you already read my blog, I hope you’ll encourage me with comments and likes, and good will along the way.

Signed,

Ahmnodt Heare

Independent Write-in Candidate for President
