What is the measure of success?

I've had over 800 hits from these blogs since their creation and my promotions of them began 2 months ago. Since I don't have a measuring stick to go by I can't really judge whether this is good or not.

The fact that these paid announcements are political in nature causes some animosity in those of a different political view. No matter, they do cause people to turn their heads and react to the message, which is a success in terms of the goals of advertising.

I feel that a good fit for future advertisers would be a couple of non competing restaurants (I could hand out menus, coupons as well.) Also, sales and promotions where name recognition is important would benefit from this type of vocal advertising.

The fact is that there are not many who could do this work today. People are generally too shy, too reserved to sing out confidently, therefore there should be room for me as I can do this expertly. I do like to make my way doing exactly as I please. this makes me happy and gives me joy, which, again in turn, rewards me with good performance in my endeavors.

Meet your Independent Vancouver City Council Candidate: Bud Oracle

I bet this mugshot is on the VPD squad room wall with special instructions.

Yes I am unusual in just about every aspect. I'm not apologizing for my life and its out here in dozens of stories and articles for you to peruse. If you aren't able to figure me out well enough to vote for me from there, I don't wish to trouble you for it.

As I say to people, if it was one or the other I would prefer to be well read/enjoyed, than to be in politics. Yet there is a compelling streak of activism in me which needs to be fed. I do make good decisions and have innovative input on a variety of subjects.

I am beginning to see the light about politics, though. As a former voter/complainer only, I had one perspective, now, being on the target side, I have to re-evaluate my position and afford successful politicians their due. It is a nasty business for people of ethics, because you must always compromise.

Anyways I think that a good leader/politician should be able to re-evaluate their positions constantly and remain malleable using their intelligence and ethical foundation to do the best that they can at any given time...

This is a guaranteed recipe to displease a fair number of people at any given time: Politics. So I will accept this and move on from here.

Simply put, vote for me, because after reading my stories you trust me to do the best in making intelligent decisions on your behalf, on city council.

And please be malleable enough so that I can waffle on the promise to wear my head gear to meetings, if I need to get a more serious face on. I mean let me renege on the promise to wear my Oracle hat to all meetings if I need to gain a more respectable role to serve you better.

Now I've given you a synopsis of what it's like to be a POLITICIAN!

And shown you that I could be one!

Vote for me anyways, please!

When I get cornered in a stressful situation an image such as this gives me perspective and feeds my spirit with past memories.
