Punk Ass: Biker, Zen Stress Monkey
Gasp
I believe I can see the future
Cause I repeat the same routine
I think I used to have a purpose
But then again
That might have been a dream
I think I used to have a voice
Now I never make a sound
I just do what I've been told
I really don't want them to come around
Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same
I can feel their eyes are watching
In case I lose myself again
Sometimes I think I'm happy here
Sometimes, yet I still pretend
I can't remember how this got started
But I can tell you exactly how it will end
I'm writing on a little piece of paper
I'm hoping someday you might find
Well I'll hide it behind something
They won't look behind
I'm still inside here
A little bit comes bleeding through
I wish this could have been any other way
But I just don't know, I don't know what else I can do

"Zen does not confuse spirituality with thinking about God while one is peeling potatoes. Zen spirituality is just to peel the potatoes."
What to Do, What to Do
So I was driving into work this morning, scanning the radio for something to listen to (not to mention a station that would actually come in on my low budget POS radio) and I happened across a station playing the
AC/DC classic
"For Those About to Rock". So, this got me to thinking. Is there really any effective way to actually know when someone is
ABOUT to rock. Is there some outward sign they give off? Maybe a particular odor or chemical signal like a ROCK pheromone?
I mean If someone is already rocking, It's pretty damn obvious, even if they're trying to keep it to themselves. It can't help but oooze out just a little.
But
ABOUT to rock? That's a completely different animal. Of course this also begs the question; Why are we saluting people who are only ABOUT to rock. I mean they haven't even really committed themselves yet. What if they stop short, a kind of ROCK misfire and we've already saluted them? Won't we look like quite the fools then! Shouldn't the saluting be reserved for those brave, un wavering souls who have crossed over the event horizon into full blown ROCKING?
Ahhh...Dilemmas Dilemmas.....
And now here it is..your moment of
Zen:
"No, No..You're not thinking, you're just being logical" - Niels Bohr
This is a shout out.....
"'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button, girl.
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe"

"Human beings understand too much. But what they understand is just opinion. Like a dog barking. American dogs say "Woof Woof". Korean dogs say "Mung Mung". Polish dogs say "How How". So which dog is barking correctly? That is human beings barking, not dogs barking. If a dog and you become one hundred percent on, then you know the sound of barking."

"We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection"
Say it isn't so....
I'm so bummed. I'm shocked and disappointed. Lance Armstrong and Cheryl Crow are calling off their engagement and splitting up. NO! This can't be! They're the perfect couple the like of which all should aspire to.
Now what am I supposed to do? I have no one to live vicariously through. I guess I'll just go back to sleep.....
..and now here it is, your moment of Zen:
"Don't chase after thoughts and don't push them away. Just let them come in and go out like a swinging door"

"Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly"
