Redundancy and Haste
Two are not always better than one
Xin chao folks!
I realized a few days ago that I’d mistakingly created (2) different sections for Citizen44 with Mark Arinsberg consisting of one with writing and podcasts and the other one with just the podcast versus rolling everything into one convenient location for you or whomever comes to check out at yours or their convenience when you have some free time and don’t have to get to a fire or deliver a baby. I want to thank you from the tippy most top of my predominantly bald head to the bottom of my “see the whole footprint in the wet sand”, flat feet. My mom always said that I could never become a cop b’cuz of my damn flat irons. Oh well, I’m probably not really cop material. Or, am I? Officer Flatfoot, I presume?
It’s very much appreciated that you devote any of your invaluable time into checking out whatever it is I’ve got going on here which could be easily construed as mental masturbation on level ten. And so it is as I see it, and that’s all it is really. Nothing personal other than my feelings about this and that. I will tell you that most of what I say and write is me just opening my mouth or pressing the keys and trusting that whatever comes out is helpful and or entertaining in some way. I know very little in the scheme of things as most of us. However, I as well as all y’all do, have a special relationship going on with shall we say “whatever”. No disrespect whatsoever. Pure humility. I know without a doubt that there are incredible communications in some form or another constantly happening in my life rich with a variety of perfectly placed gifts. This indescribable relationship of trust, caring and unconditional love in addition to the incredible bond I have with my two children, family and friends are the basis compelling me to think and speak with some level of hopefulness in spite of my faithless relationship with humanity.
Kurt Vonnegut was a humor driven hope-fullest with no faith in humanity.
Xmas is almost here. Wow.
Much love from Saigon,
Mark
