Mic Check, One Two, One Two Three
Let's see if this works!
Just switched to Google's Blogger so lets see how it works. It came highly recommended and so far looks good.
Have I mentioned how much I love my iPod? I didn't even like Apple before (One mouse button? Ewww) but iTunes and the iPod are just awesome. Even if I didn't have an iPod I'd still use iTunes, it's just such a nice management tool. If you're on the decision see-saw about whether to get one or not, I hightly recommend doing so.
Think about it man! Every song you own on one little device! All your adio books, albums, everything in the palm of your hand. After a week you won't know how you lived without it.
I've been listening to Nine Inch Nails' new album "With Teeth" a bunch lately. At first I didn't like it and set it aside for like a month. But then I went back after the "Only" music video came out. (P.S. this song rocks) What I took at first to be a butt-rock album (Sorry Trent!) is actually really good. Some of my favorite songs are "Right Where it Belongs", "Only", "All the Love in the World", and "Sunspots". It's like $10 on iTunes, go get it!
I just finished reading this cute little book called "The Tao of Pooh". I didn't know much about Taoism before reading this but I'd heard good things about it and I like books with this type of format. I'm still reading "The Dharma of Star Wars" and it's honestly the best book on Buddhism I've ever read. The best thing, actually. And I've read a bunch. It's so much easier to understand abstract philosophy when it's based on things like Star Wars and Whinnie the Pooh.
Taoism (pronounced DAOism) is pretty simple. Now I may not have this exactly right, but the gist of it is as follows: Everything is governed by the laws of nature, i.e. cause and effect. The same laws that govern trees growing and snow falling and the formation of planets also governs us. The harder one works against these laws the farther away one moves from harmony and the unhappier one gets. Sooo...the more free-flowing one is and the more one can just let things be the happier one will be. I have to read a lot more to be sure, but I think that's it. So that's new and cool for me.
Imma post this because I still don't know if everything is working correctly, so I'll add more later if necessary.
Adios!
