Hey, you guys: no matter what you've heard, or read about me, I mean well. And if I seem at times harsh and brutish and cold, that never extinguishes my ultimate aim, which is to provoke, liberate, and finally love. It is my formula. Hardly anyone here gets it—but Curtis does. And I guess Sal baby too. (Nice Sal: I am glad you're still a looker too.) Anyhow, guys, I am not sure why, on this Friday night in Amsterdam, I am reaching out to all of you; but I am. And I want to tell you that I look forward to all your posts—Yes, even yours, Robin, which I admit, I read very carefully—Else how do you account for my honest engagement with all that you say to me? You are a miserable c**t-face, by the way, Robin. A real jerk. I wish you would know how pathetic and annoying and just irrelevant you are. Yes, you, Robin. Whoa. Gotta stop there. Don't worry, Robin: I will get down to addressing those uncomfortable questions you have directed my way. I am not a coward and I am not a liar. Else I would not have written this letter. So that dispenses with that. Hey, you guys: enjoy your lives today. Because I am just swimming in the ecstasy of being the kind of person that the good Lord made me. And by the way: I never miss a trick. I am cultured, I am well-read, and believe me, I catch everything that is said about me. I forgive you all for making your unkind remarks. I am your friend. And all of Holland joins me in wishing you all the joys of the Unified Field of Consciousness. There. Feel differently about me? You should.
