What Would Yo Do?
I like the idea that art can take many forms, be so many different things to so many different people, but I've always had trouble with performance art.
Well, here's a piece I can definitely buy into, a piece whose art is just a little mind blowing and very heart …

I'm still trying to appreciate the Harmony, Mother
I have no words right now, but the words of a much greater writer than I moved me today:
O, Porcupine
without a queen the locust swarm
turned the ground to black
descending like a shadowy tower on a fish's back
and scattered the sticks who crawled
like snakes in the sand
as …
Mind Trip
This is pretty trippy: check out http://media.putfile.com/Virtual-Barbershop">The Virtual Barbershop. Oh, and make sure you have a good pair of speakers, or even better, a decent set of earphones. Closing your eyes doesn't hurt either.

Sawasdee Krap Mr. Cowboy
I love how surreal Thailand can be sometimes. Farm Chokcai, one of the largest dairy farms in the country may take take the cake. Where else do you have, well...no, I should let the pictures speak for themselves. Enjoy.
To add to the fun, the farm is also home to a …
Today's Dose of Irony
On my flight to the States yesterday, I heard what may have become my favorite movie line so far.
In the film Blood Diamond, Leonardo DiCaprio and Djimon Hounsou's characters are searching for a diamond buried somewhere in Sierra Leone, each for their own reasons, and …
Antebellum
A few of my friends, John-Michael Brown and Stratton Tingle (fellow film grads) head up a band called Antebellum, and I got a chance to see them in concert yesterday at the Barking Legs Theater.

Urban Oasis
Lizzy and I spent a few hours at the Tamarind Cafe today. If you're in Bangkok one of these days and in search for unique Vegetarian Food (Malay Quesedilla/Sesame Seed Falafels anyone?) as well as a pretty cool assortment of fruit drinks. I highly recommend it and I …
Half-Grumpy, Partly Amused, Semi-Rant
So if I get to be 55 and someone says to me "Oh my! You're so mature for 55, I had thought for sure you were 63," I might have to hurt somebody. I'm just sayin', that's all...

So a Fish Walks Into...
I was wandering a bit aimlessly around Mission College when I saw a dark shape jauntily crossing the road. I blinked a few times before I registered what I was seeing. A fish as large as my hand was bouncing across the road using its fins. It must left the pond on one …

Thoughts on a Buddhist Funeral*
Yesterday, I paid my respects at the funeral of Mr. Utid, the father of one of the graduates of AIMS, the elementary school of which my mom is the administrator. He was 53.
This is the first Buddhist funeral I have attended and it felt like a tangle of an ancient ritual …

So Much for Aquiescence...
Tim Bray of the blog Ongoing came up with a great little concept that I think I'd like to support to continue the success of the American experiment, if only for a few centuries more. His idea? It's time for a radical redesign of our borders. Check out the new North …
A Rare Aquiescence
Author Kittey Kelley writes about why, despite "the messy flaws of U.S. democracy," she's proud of America. For once, I cheerfully agree. Your Majesty? Not in America

Pride
I won't say much, but I'd like to present a short by my good friend Tanya M., a sophomore at Southern's film school, and someone I've had the pleasure of seeing grow up into a fantastic filmmaker. Without anymore blustering, may I present, Fear.

call
these are my people
call the fire dancers
the dreamers
call the lunatics and the poets
these are my people
born of a flaming pillar
the sleepers
born of a dream and a whisper
these are my people
a vagabond tribe
the windblown (let the desert be our home)
a place of freaks and …

Logic, My Blessing, My Bane
Yet another This American Life episode (#188 Kid Logic, for those keeping track) has gifted me with a small epiphany. The episode deals with how kids, through perfect logic come up with answers that are utterly wrong. Like the crew of This American Life apparently, I …
