A year ago or so, I was listening to an audiobook and thought I heard “where moss and rust consume”. I just found out it’s “where MOTH and rust consume”

The full quote is Matthew 6:19 –
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal.

Live and learn, right?

Lately, I hear J. Cole’s rework of Paula Abdul’s Straight Up 2 or 3 times a day, but her version works better for this overview of last years iPhone pictures. Love Forever!

Last night I watched Hereafter again, which got me thinking about the Bardo Thodol, which got me thinking about the day the Dalai Lama visited Santa Fe.

At the time I was working the evening shift as an intake specialist for a alcohol/drug addiction hotline. I got home late and usually slept until noon, but found myself lying awake at 7am when the phone rang. A friend had tickets to a teaching by the Dalai Lama at the local Buddhist stupa, did I want to go? Sure.

Lotsa people, had a pretty good seat, but I’d heard this one a thousand times before, so I went for some air.

Taking up the lotus position, I watched the Mercedes and the people. That day I saw more blondes then in the rest of the seven years I lived in Santa Fe. This was the super rich getting on their Enlightenment Chic.

Has the new year started for you yet? Here are some Coffee Shop Quotes to get you started!

As with people, it takes all kinds of coffee shops to make a world!

To get a rough idea of how it worked, I shot this pilot of a video I’ve been thinking about. Let me know what you think!

I started watching The Orgasm Diaries, but 40 minutes in I just wasn’t feeling it. I took a break and ended up thinking about those same old used to be’s. I recalled James Taylor’s song and found this video. Yeah, I used to need 4 walls and a honky tonk angel, but not now.

Over the last two months I’ve watched Hereafter about five times. Not because it’s about people dying, but because it’s about a place where people go to create realities, and that’s what we’re all interested in, isn’t it. Creating our own reality?

Just watched Pirates of the Caribbean: On Strange Tides. Jack and Teague had the best lines of the movie –

Does this face look like it’s been to the Fountain of Youth?

Depends on the light.
