You should give up atheism and love Me instead.

On seeing your interest in Buddhist philosophy, I thought to write a post for you. I am living close to the site "Texila" where famous largest ancient Buddha university was there (now archeological ruins). I have no religious signs in my house except a artistic picture of Buddha.. I with my friends, are planning nowadays to make a "Budha Huts' in the same vicinity overlooking at beautiful site where is a dam surrounding green mountains.. We want to provide visitors a serene meditational place where they could spend their day off.

I appreciate Buddha philosophy being godless, cast less and classless..

Have you ever read Osho..?

Nice to meet a fellow traveler on the road to Shambhala.

any Gos d'Aturas? best dog I ever had! pero ya se fue ...

The Rocker is surprisingly funny and super sweet. If you are not seeing The Dark Knight, see The Rocker. It's so tender.

Are you ok? Did Gustav get you? Do you need anything? Is your family safe?

I know you aren't in direct path, but did you see any Gustav action?

Will you join my group? Tell your friends.

I agree with you there is only one path, destiny, etc... I am a determinist after all. What I don't agree with is that we have a choice.

Hi Hellrise, Nice to meet you. Thanks for reading my post. You mention that there is only one possible path, and that we choose it. But I don't see how this can be, because we can only "choose" if there are alternatives or options to choose from, but if there are not and there is only "one possible path" then there is nothing to choose from, and we are simply "determined" to our one possible path.

yeah, nice to meet you too. the name is pretty kick ass.

Have you looked into medical social work? There are social workers in hospitals that really help families and patients.

My sister is studying social work. She is starting her third year of study. Hard but noble work, social work.

And... sorry about the loss. Our 4 year old rapscallion keeps asking for a "bird in a cage" so he can pet it - they never let him pet them in the back yard! But we have 2 very large dogs (Lab/Pit Bull and Belgian Shepherd) and a very old, crotchety cat. I can't handle any more - NO... Anyway, we would've loved to have caught a Saints game in Dallas this next season, but they're not scheduled to play each other. I have a feeling we'll meet somewhere down the line, 'cause we love wicked storms, too! We actually put our kid through Hurricane Ivan (though it was no threat to New Orleans - or so we assumed at the time - Katrina wasn't a direct hit, either, but look what happened).

I rather like Pooduagua (I'm assuming I drop the g after d, but you tell ME.

What are you studying?

Why? Didn't you learn Latin growing up?

But that has nothing to do with my choice of name.

Yes, I was raised Catholic.

Of course, I consider guitar, bass, and drums, to be things you play when you don't have the guts to be a real musician, lol.
