WIKI vs. MOB GOVERNANCE
By: Iris P. Concepcion

An author once argued for a lean organization (like making an indie film) as a surefire way to do things. Ergo: people implement things better in least cost.That is a good and sound business advice if you ask me.

One need not visit the bottom rung of things to understand the mechanics of how this is achieved. Just do the talk. Do not strut there like a sore cretin implementing things via fake osmosis.

I was joking earlier that there is even a "Good Governance for Dummies" book to weed away those laughable stints where situational comedies are founded on. By now, the clique knows that a forthright take on things gets my respect always.

I do not care whether or not the thing is unpalatable; I often give my respect to people who may fall but who can easily own up, get back on their feet, and spend the rest of the evening crafting say, a "Treatise on Silence" instead of ruining other people's output via insecurity. Insecurity turns me off always. Sometimes, you need to cross out people who imbibe toxic and inept attitude to free your mind for other things. I do not need creative bastards (those who tend to sound and look good only by maligning others). As themselves, they are pathetically silly, transposed in a medium obviously invented ONLY for great adlibbers. It is not a space for potbellied d.o.m.s looking for cheap scores. God, I dread those types like my flying snot.

Anyhow---now that these heroes are getting their harelips done in faraway Virginia and consider muteness the new cool, I listen to their musical arrangements.

Res ipsa loquitor. The thing speaks for itself. Those freaks can truly pack powerful muzak. I wanted them to curse at one point in time but they never did. Instead, they allow their detractors to yack, giving them hecklers some breathing space to enlarge their beautiful souls (yes, they allow them, verily---that is extreme maturity for such young people). I am proud that the expert people mimic them nowadays. It does. It makes my boobs larger, to cup XY (humongous orbs!).

I, as a nurturer of these fellows (hehehehehe I sound like am 90 years old), feel proud nonetheless that they are copied. Reverse homage. Well, not entirely mute. If you hear certain crickets on the background fooling with the music, hold your tongues, those are the heroes I am talking about. They can make a tune sound like a short story (Rendition plus timing. There is also some suspension in the lyrics that is precise). I know awful when I hear one.

I received little notebooks from someone who had listened to my educational musings. Exactly the things I need to distribute to kids. These are the stuff I am talking about. It is corny but it gives me the goosebumps more than say, a P1,000 worth of bread.

Thank you very much for getting it right.
