Too lazy to be ambitious

Published by rickswerve October 29th, 2007 in japan, asia, philosophy, Zen and poetry. 0 Comments

Too lazy to be ambitious,
I let the world take care of itself.
Ten days’ worth of rice in my bag;
a bundle of twigs by the fireplace.
Why chatter about delusion and enlightenment?
Listening to the night rain on my roof,
I sit comfortably, with both legs stretched out.

Zeitgeist - too hot for Wikipedia?

Something in this little bit of questioning of Christianity, modern finance, and the 9/11 story was apparently too out-there even for a Wikipedia entry.

See the movie’s page, and its sources to get a sense of where it’s coming from… I’m not much on 9/11 ‘conspiracies’ — not because I think such evil is beyond the present gang of murdering, torturing criminals, but because I simply do not believe the Cheney Administration could have pulled off such a dazzling, flawless operation. But Wikipedia’s apparent disregard for materials that are not rendered “notable” by recognition from “official” sources is troubling. At best, it betrays a tremendous insecurity about its status. By suggesting that online cinema is not significant, aren’t they reinforcing the position of the Michael Gormans of the world, that online resources are inherently inferior?

LTJ Bukem gets Mashed up

Rick Swerve stayed up a little late last night, had a few hits off of a tasty old bong — otherwise known as Mt. Baker — and decided to take his first foray into the exciting world of video editing.

The end result of course displays my raw technical skills, but the video also overflows with the untapped creativity of a talented young artist just waiting to break free from the shackles of our oppressive and rigid society.

So sit back, relax, and groove with LTJ Bukem, MC Conrad, and the fine visual effects of Rick Swerve in “LTJ Elderly” — HotnStinky’s first contribution to the venerable YouTube universe.

Ayn Rand - Mike Wallace Interview 1959 part 1

It’s finds like this that make YouTube so great. And this video is somewhat timely for HotnStinky, because Craig Torso and I were just talking about Ayn Rand the other day.

If you like part I, then you must not be an idiot, so I can assume you can 1) doubleclick on the video, and 2) find parts II and III in the related videos section on that page.
