Wise Words

Blogger has been extremely contemplative lately and remembering some of the things that have gotten him so far. Far defined as the writer of his very own blog, dual residencies in the hip cities of Bakersfield and Fresno, the paid friend of the morally challenged and geographically restrained in our society, etc.

A very wise man once said to me. "Mark Bigger, you have an incredible gift. You have something that very few can even dream of not to mention understand. But the market value of being just plain goofy is at an all time low, so stick to law."

And I have.

A friend of mine once said, "Mark, you can't rely on good looks and charm forever. At least if you ever plan to make it outside of Bakersfield."

So I haven't. Unless you count Fresno. Which is a more cars stolen per capita version of Bakersfield. A real jewel of a place. A regular oasis of dust on the desert of central california.

So here I sit, in Fresno, in Bakersfield, also know as the center of the world, the center of the part of the world that most people want to get out of, reflecting on how good life is because I have followed good advice.

Never go out on a blind date.

Take risks while you have a choice so you do not have to take them when you have no choice.

Never take personal advice from Conan O'Brien.
