音乐、电影和书籍

I always say I am bit of a rip van winkle when it comes to movies and music, rather, I've just been awake to other stuff; My interest has grown, though. I have a handful of favorite movies and musicians, but I dig books the most.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

funnier than amazing - Slept in buena vista park in San Francisco... Had no place to stay, and was not interested in paying for a room. No luck at the SF zen center - turned away. Went to the park knowing it to be a meetup for Anonymous gay sex (as explained by my new street aquaintance Bobby, one of the last true dharma bums) Out of habit knodded at a passerby in the dusk, only to disappoint his eager turn and glance with a chuckled "oh...sorry, no thanks."

教，学，和分享
