Smooches
Kisses for the missus
She's a legend, a champ, a true hero
Cooks, cleans (I help), kicks butt at her job
Brings me a mile wide smile
just because she exists
no convolution, she fires her arrows straight
family, friends, food, health
she's an oyster in the world, and proud
eager to please, sometimes scornful
all in all, a good person

The Sunset Limited
The Sunset Limited is a play and film by Cormac McCarthy. I watched the film recently, and I thought it was provocative and curious. There’s not really that much to spoil, in fact I think there’s almost nothing exceptthat White leaves the apartment at the end of the film as the sun rises. SPOILER> While the acting was good enough in ( Read more... ) -

My first thought is sort of an inquiry into what other people’s lives are like. I used to think that life ( Read more... ) -

Originality. Does it exist? Yes, probably.
What is originality? I always find myself stuck on a question of semantics, ( Read more... ) -
Demotivational
Greatness. Everyday, in pictures, in magazines, on the internet, we encounter greatness. We have access to magnificent feats of strength, wisdom and willpower; we can find role models, mentors and legends. Being inspired is merely a click away, and we are inundated in the achievements and accomplishments of the gods who walk among us.

Frank Yang's Philosophy on Souls
Normally I spend a few hours coming up with my own material and my own writings on things that interest me. But Frank Yang's essay on Souls (truncated, read the full piece and other works on his site here.) expresses my personal view with such accuracy that I thought I would just share it with you instead. Enjoy!

Great Poignancy
So how much control do we have over ‘state’ and ‘worldview’? I don’t profess to reproduce Mr. Robbins teachings here, and in fact, for a long time, I was sceptical of and indignant about the utility of any self-help style books and programs, mostly because of my disagreement with the commoditisation of humans (in other words, to turn us into ( Read more... )
