I never really understood the Zen koans. such as:

What is the sound of one hand clapping? I would say, there is no sound. But is that too easy?

If a tree falls in the forest and no one sees it, does it make a sound? I would say yes, right?

And stuff like, such and such monk said, I am finished eating, and then the zen master said, now go wash your bowl, then he was enlightened. Hm.

:laugh:

There are some cool lines in the Tao Te Ching, like where it talks about the 'old masters' or whatnot, they were "alert, like travelers crossing a dangerous stream" etc. Hm.

I can answer this one... because the 7-11 employees dont really feel like working so they make a ghetto sign that sais "store closed at da moment, try gan lata" 

this seriously happened to me. I walked to the 7-11 and saw this. you know what they were doing? eating food and listening to rap music super loud. awesome!

I tried opening the door and shook it real hard. scared the crap out of them walked away laughing.


moral of the story...

Give as much effort to your job as you would like employees to do for you as a customer.

Just because swans mate for life, I don't think its that big a deal. First of all, if you're a swan, you're probably not going to find a swan that looks much better than the one you've got, so why not mate for life?

i thought i posted in here but i guess i'm just retarded.

My life's philosophy is tattooed on my left arm.

"The answer to life the universe and everything is to love blindly and live like theres no tomorrow"

it was inspired by Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, then i added the love blindly/no tomorrow part.

"i'd much rather be happy than right any day..." "Then are you?" "Ha, no, but thats where it all falls down i guess..." Slartibartfast in HGTTG

"music is your only friend in the end" jim morrison

"God is an illusion from which the faint of heart gain strength. Does he exist? Who knows. Does it matter? No. To those who need him, he does, to those that don't, let the believers believe what they wish."

"Everyone is f-ed up. Just because you don't think you are, doesn't mean no one else does."
