Warm... good looking people.... I think that's all you can ask for out of life!

Thanks for my birthday wishes

I also got the message from Julia on MySpace. Ha. For the love of god.

Probably being overcautious. I was fucking angry but couldn't decide how far I could push it without risking banishment if it was seen - so after several edits I copped out & reached for the smilies. They never let you down.

Er...

Well as it happens all that I know about the tantric side of Buddhism I learned from conversation as such.

Books tend to call it Vajrayana or 'Diamond Way' Buddhism. The diamond here is a translation of a concept which is closer to the concept of 'The Indestructible Vehicle'.

It relies on there being a master and a student and can be either dharmic or tantric in its approach.

The basic idea is that the teacher evaluates what it is the student needs to do to attain enlightenment and then instructs him to do it. In tantra the path to enlightenment can be as short as a few years.

However, because of the inherent risks teachers are often reluctant and books tend to shy clear of the heart of the subject altogether.

Having experienced some of the things I have following the path I can't say I necessarily disagree.

If you have any more questions I'll be happy to answer them. It's a shame you're not here any more as it's a beer conversation if ever there was one.

I liked the guardian article

hah, i was just going to say what forkandles did, then i saw he said it yeah, what they all said

dude, i have had up to three fake myspace accounts at a time for the only purpose of screwing with people. Ive got one now called carpal. I actually have a girl on there that wants to make "Carpal" her fuck buddy! too much fun!

My hovercraft is full of eels!

Insert witty & interesting comment here

Cheers for the comments man. Ironically, I've actually got an order pending with Amazon for Andy McCoy's "Memorabilia" album. I've not really heard much of his solo stuff apart from the Shooting Gallery album (which I actually quite like, especially that song "Restless") but the guy's definitely one of my all time guitar heroes.

As for the Jacobites, I have to admit I've not really heard any of their stuff although I do know Dave Kusworth was in the Dogs D'Amour before Jo joined. I will definitely investigate though - cheers man.

Heya, jeff me lad! I trust you and the lassie are keeping well? You often come up in conversation at meets and you are sorely missed. After all, there's no-one to travel back with me to the darkest depths of Middle-Saex nowdays, the drunken journies home were fun I've just ordered a load of French horror comics off of ebay, lets hope I'm upto the task of reading them, failing that I'll just look at cartoons getting mullered over.

P.S. Journal update to follow soonish, maybe, like someday this year Keep well mes ami,

P.P.S Interesting link! (and kink!)

ive got to go get my physical for work on the 31st.... blood work, an idian guy with cold hands. It makes my insides cry How was the wedding??

he, you'll probably love HOSTEL then mister!

I HAVE READ WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY.

haha. i'm not taking the drugs much anymore so i guess i am a drunkard. but alcohol doesn't make you fall in love with everybody!!

you're right of course, but in my defence i wasn't really thinking it through. I'm supposed to be buddhist myself, but i've never really followed it although i would like to. I'm not living in the right place and time for me to really follow anything through. to not actually desire anything is very difficult in practice! hope you are doing good around the world.

whoops

Cheers mate, I hope you had a good one in the sun and everything is well with you

Where are you now (or still the same place)? Hope things are well.
