an honor to be nominated.....
The Zen Center I go to on Wednesdays for sittings and services has asked me to be on the executive council. I’m pretty surprised. I am not very social with the group there. I don’t do anything with anyone outside of the formal services. I don’t participate in the sesshins - because who can afford to take off 5 days to do zazen all day and night? I don’t do the monthly all...
The Coach's Wife
I guess I’m just a pig. I can’t stop thinking about my sons bball Coach’s wife. So hot.
He’s huge. I would say 6 foot 5 and @300 pounds. Maybe 325. Just a big big big guy. She’s fairly petite. They have 4 children ages 6 to 6 months.
If I asked you to guess how old and how many kids she had, you would say she’s 25 and has no kids. She was wearing tight...
Nuts and Vaginas
Last weekend, my 8 year old girl started asking specific questions about how babies are made. She never asked before and quite frankly it didn’t dawn on either my wife or me to explain it in the absence of any questions. Fortunately she asked because all the books and shit say you’re supposed to start explaining something before 8. Anyway, my wife wants no part of explaining it...

The Tao of Steve
All of the positive states we seek to have or be in – equanimity, joy, sense of humor, appreciation, etc – are all dependent on our ability to find composure in the face of the fact that everything changes all the time. If we strive to make these good states permanent, we never truly experience them. If we can experience impermanence without the struggle, without the striving to make the state...
Partial list of things I don't think I could do
Be homeless. With the neurological pain syndrome, I just couldn’t take the constant discomfort of homelessness. It would trigger waves of constant pain. Sitting on a bench all day? Eating food from a soup kitchen or that costs $2.00 every day? I mean I like Taco Bell as much as the next guy but I eat it once a year. Not once a day. Being out in the heat and rain and mist and cold all day? I...
Cool Story Bro
Long time ago I knew this person who started engaging in increasingly bizarre, hurtful and self-destructive behavior. The person started becoming more and more friendly with others who laughed and clapped and squealed with glee when the person acted in this self-destructive way and who encouraged the harmful behavior.
Eventually, I grew tired of it and I told the person that I thought the...

Body Image
If you ever get down on yourself about the way you look, go immediately to the nearest indoor water park in New Jersey.
People were staring at me because I WASN’T fat. Either that or they were wondering what I did with my gold chain and tattoos.
The name is Bond....
I made a comment to a friends status update on Facebook and it was liked by 4 women I don’t know who are wearing bathing suits in their profile pictures.
In their profile pictures. On facebook.
I’m gonna go wipe my butt with a live rabbit and throw it out the window now.
Later suckahs.
I wonder what Kate Upton is doing this weekend?
Tonight, I’m going to go home and make myself a nice cocktail, put on maybe a little Andrew Hill and read a 45 page legal memo on how to attact Canadian capital for US infrastructure projects by utilizing a “debt stripping” investment into a US blocker corporation which can in turn act as withholding agent in respect of distributions to a Cayman Islands limited partnership.

Feelin' Good Bob!
I got myself confused this week. Culminating in yesterday. But I’ve identified the issue and that alone has resolved most of it. It used to be that I never knew what was going on in my own life until way way past the point where it should have been obvious. But I have a process now yo. And it works. Just need to have a little faith in it.
Man I was mean but I’m changing my...

Zapping Self Doubt →
Sally Adee tested out transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), where electrodes attached to your head send the current of a 9-volt battery through your brain and wrote about it in New Scientist Magazine:
The 20 minutes I spent hitting targets [with a rifle] while electricity coursed through my brain were far from transcendent. I only remember feeling like I had just had an excellent cup...

On Attending a School Committee Meeting Addressing... →
Yesterday I went with Jan and a fair number of folk from First Unitarian to the Cranston School Committee meeting in a suburban Providence town, where they were going to decide whether to appeal a recent court ruling that the prayer banner at the Cranston High School West had to come down. As it was titled “School Prayer,” began with “Our Heavenly Father” and ended with “Amen,” from where I stood...
Love me
Did you ever go to the bathroom?…..AND THERE’S NO TOILET PAPER!
I hate discrimination. Like one time, I saw a dude who was discriminated and it made him cry. And then I cried because he cried. Cause like i have this thing where I really empathize with people and their situations and shit. And I’m like soooo sympathetic. It’s probably because I’m an Aquarius. And...

Craving
I seriously don’t know what is wrong with me. I’m having one different craving each second. Cherry coke, nachos, icy beer, sleep, blowjob, lime ricky, ice cream, steak, massage, Kate Upton. I can’t keep up with all of them.
I must be getting my period or something sexist like that.
I should probably go to bed and start again tomorrow. I’m sure my wife and kids will...

The Tumblr senior prom
When I was a junior in high school, I was approached one day by the group of hot popular girls in the senior class. They were like the Plastics. The Heathers. They kind of knew me and I kind of knew them, but we didn’t hang out. We ran in completely different social cliques, not to mention they were seniors and I was a junior.
They wanted something from me. They had a friend/acquaintance...
