Blogger Interview With Mark Jabbour

Blogger Interview With Rita

Today, I wanted to share my Blogger Interview with Mark Jabbour. I know him through blogging and we have been visiting one another’s site for quite a while now. He has been very supportive of Lifesfinewhine and my upcoming book, All The Words I Kept Inside, which I really appreciate.

We conducted this interview quite a while back but we decided this may be a good time to share it. We talk about writing, blogging, politics and much more. I hope you enjoy the interview and do feel free to share your thoughts here, on Spotify and on YouTube.

Also, just a little disclaimer. I have had a lot of people asking to be interviewed but unfortunately I am going to be taking July off from interviews and focusing on my health and enjoying the release of my first book. However, starting August, I will be conducting interviews again. I will share a post in August when the interviews start up again and anyone interested in being interviewed is of course welcome to throw their name in the hat. And I don’t mean metaphorically, I plan to wear a giant hat like Pharrell from now on. Lol just kidding, but not really.

    It was an interesting interview. I liked the tip on writing to stop while you know what comes next so you can pick up easier when you return to continue where you left off.

          Hi Opher, Jack passed away 2 months ago, after a 3 yr. battle with Long Covid. I’ve posted about it on my blog: ‘Jack’s Service’ & ‘Jack’s Eulogy’. Don’t feel bad. It’s okay. He was also a blogger here on WordPress and wrote about his life and COVID: ‘LONG HAUL COVID TRAIN’. He also frequently commented on my blog. Check it out if you’ve time. Take care.

    I enjoyed the podcast, especially Mark decision-making to pursue writing, selling his properties and starting ground zero!

    It’s good to take sometime out when keeping healthy comes into play. Goodluck

    Our president is senile. We don’t know who is actually running the government. He’s good at reading a teleprompter sometimes. Our intelligence services staged a coup d’état twice. Once they failed in 2016, but succeeded in 2020. All of our news media except for Fox lie. The Hunter Biden laptop is real. Through 20 shell corporations bribes were taken from China, Russia , Ukraine and more by Hunter who passed it along to his father or paid for his expenses etc. Presently, there is no democracy in the US. The Democrats cheat as much as they can. But I suppose that the dead are entitled to vote. In some districts they hold a séance to determine who the dead person would have wanted to vote for. Everybody must vote democrat the academic elites say. And they truck in blank ballots to polling places for democrat election workers to fill out at 2 a.m. after the poll watchers have been expelled.

      And Trump is a rapist, a conman, a serial liar, a convicted felon, tax evader, narcissistic megalomaniac and fascist hypocrite.

        That was never even a charge. His employees made an accounting entry marked “legal expenses” for money that was reputed to be for a Porn Star who was extorting money for his silence. At worst, he had consensual sex. Incidentally, these are supposed to be State charges only — a local prosecutor can not charge a Federal crime. The Supreme Court will invalidate this democrat abuse and banana republic tactics.

    I listened on my walk this morning. Just as it was getting juicy it had to end..I do hope he returns at some point.
    I’m glad you’re gonna focus on your health. It’s been my mindset the last few weeks, just trying to find a balance and refocus my energy on my health and wellness.. feels like I’m starting all over again. But baby steps. Thanks for sharing the podcast, PoojaG

    Interesting interview, Pooja and impressive how Mark has written novels and owned a bookstore and started teaching.

    I was impressed with how well you navigated this when it took a turn to politics which I know is not your jam to talk about generally. You handled it well!

    That part threw me for a loop a little when he shifted stances from Barak to Trump as the character of the two have such a huge discrepancy and most of the time around it’s been the complete opposite where they voted for Trump the first time and bailed ship the last time.

    I don’t either but I will just say it was a sad night the other night with the debates. Let’s say on fact check Trump had 30 lies, Biden had 9.

      Thanks so much. I very much agree with you, I think Trump has been caught lying on so many occasions it’s difficult to even keep count. All politicians lie from time to time but I think some do it so excessively.

        I so agree! It’s a trait I honor the sleaze in a human Beings. that being said, I think it would be very difficult to be 100% and not fabricate some thing even out of your awareness when you’re pressured in the moment and things are going fast. All I know is I will take human decency over ego of self any day of the week. 🩷

    I loved to hear about the writing process and not so much about the politics in the States. Politics is dirty business, people always take sides to piss others off. I remember those elections in Colorado in 2020, a lot of hostility and confrontation. We even took part in a video interview supporting Biden. It was a big thing happening at the time.

      Yeah, politics can become exhausting over time because people are so divided.
