letter from a friendJust got this from a wise friend. Perhaps it's pertinent.
"anyway, I read an interesting letter in the book Mudra early songs and poems by Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche a Tibetan that started Naropa Univ.......there is a letter from a Teacher(Patrul Rinpoche) to his friend, very funny depending on the translation (I think the one in Chogyam's book is the best), the following is a mix of translations, I think the one I have in book form is the BEST....I'll dig it up and send you the whole letter, but I remember one part that went something like....
You've studied hundreds of philosophies Without grasping any of them.
What's the point of further study?
You've studied without remembering
Anything when you needed it.
What's the point of contemplation?
Forget about your "meditation"!
It doesn't seem to be
The Cure for conflicting emotions
a few stanzas on....
Your girlfriend puts on a smiling face
But who knows what she really feels?
For one night of pleasure it's nine months of heartache.
You can spend a month trying to bed her and still not succeed.
It's really not worth all the scandal and gossip, So forget about her.
Giving teachings on meditation texts
Without yourself having
Gained actual experience through practice,
Is like reciting a dance-manual out loud
And thinking that's the same as actually dancing.
People may be listening to you with devotion,
But it just isn't the real thing.
Sooner or later, when your own actions
Contradict the teachings, you'll feel ashamed.
Just mouthing the words,
Giving dharma explanations that sound so eloquent-
Forget about it!
When you don't have a text, you long for it;
Then when you've finally gotten it, you hardly look at it.
Just sleep, eat, piss, shit.
There's nothing else in life that has to be done.
Don't get involved with other things:
They're not the point.
Keep a low profile,
Sleep.
In the triple universe
When you're lower than your company
You should take the low seat.
Should you happen to be the superior one,
Don't get arrogant.
When you're without any worldly or religious obligations,
Don't keep on longing to acquire some!
If you let go of everything-
Everything, everything-
That's the real point!"

more youtube nonsenseOk, to continue the youtube trend-
this one isn't synced so well, but it amuses me nonetheless. The original song is this bad disco thing... Prodigy is much funnier.
Watch long enough for the 'indian maidens' to come out. They're the best part. Well aside from mustache-man.

yeah, and it sucks b/c the links can break then the journal is meaningless.
Actually that reminds me- I just noticed that some of my early journals are gone. The title is there, and the comments, but no text. Hmmm.
[I decided I would read my journal from the beginning. But I quickly got bored. How do you peeps put up with me?? But I thank you!]

So I have been thinking about this youtube madness some more. It really pains me that the site exists as an entity on its own, containing all media accept these youtube videos. I like to think that someday it could stand alone as an archive running off a machine in a museum like the historical society were people can see what blogging was like at the beginning.
The youtube content is not included because it is the only media not directly eaten by the server, it is just a link and requires both a live internet connection and the existence of youtube for it to work. In order to get around this I am thinking about building an estrip web tv station where each user can pick youtube videos and embed them into the estrip web tv channel, where other peeps and viewers can watch them but in a separate place from the journals so that they stay pure. That way it will say suggested by "insert peep name here" and the other peeps can still comment.
I need another weekend to get that going.

Nice web, Mr. Crack SpiderDuh, I totally forgot- the whole reason I signed on to estrip oh-so-many hours ago was to post this, but I got sidetracked.
Don't know how to post it inline, but go to the link. It's funny. I promise.

ummm...wow.
Well that's 8 minutes of my life I'll never get back.
Although the first time Marcy says "f you" it is pretty funny.
