Seeking happiness outside ourselves
Posted in Stones on the Path on February 13th, 2008 by DhammaSeekerSeeking happiness outside ourselves is like waiting for the sun to shine in a cave facing north.

Have you had that happen to you yet, Kanye?
Posted in General on February 10th, 2008 by DhammaSeekerI’m not even finished watching the telecast yet, and I can safely say that the 50th annual Grammy Awards show is the best in years. It was only 2-3 years ago that I had completely written the show off for selling its soul to crap hop and crap pop.
While there have been a few misses along the way tonight (Beyoncé’s lip-synced intro bit and some of the Jesus medley performers), all in all it’s fantastic. Kanye West didn’t talk too much shit and gave an awesome performance, Fergie can sing, Brad Paisley can rock, and Alicia Keys stole my heart.
It’s kind of sad how they are milking the potential train wreck of Amy Winehouse’s performance though. I honestly welled up at the dance performance from LOVE early in the show.
p.s. - Congratulations to the Foo Fighters. Fuck yeah.
