Adroomi;

Got the best guidance in a temple in the mountains of Taos, where a Buddhist monk changed my life and everything I know. It took me months to figure out simple statement:

“Thought is limited and formed by vocabulary, break that barrier and you to can be the next Buddha.”

Incidentally; have you seen Dersu Usala

I need to pay better attention to this tiny yellow box…sorry, it should have read….

I'm assuming you meant Laos....as in the country of my former "Poo Ying Lao" girlfriend.... 🙂

Do you mind if I jot down what he told you? That is one really cool quote and although I've heard others quite similar, it really hits home.

I've never seen that movie. Are you talking the one from the 70's? I think a Japanese guy directed that, right?

I did read a good book 2 years ago though called "The Life of Pi" by Yann Martel. I recommend it. Along with "The old man and the sea" and "the pearl" I cherish it.

Sumrao:

You said it right in #91, at least from a historical perspective. SteveR by his refusal step in and clean up this board is losing posters and will lose business as well. I no longer support either company and purchase my product elsewhere.

Why then do I continue to post? Because I believe CBID will one day realize that they have a responsibility when they host a board such as this and will push these pathetic low-lifes out, or at least force them to participate in a more civil manner. It will be a business decision more likely than an ethical or moral one, but nonetheless these folks, so jealous of others will behave or be gone.

I don't argue with them anymore because they are incapable of rational dialog. Furthermore I uncovered an old adage:

"Don't argue with an idiot because they will bring you down to their level and then you will lose because of their greater experience."

Adroomi......

google "Santiago's Finest Hour".

Adroomi:

Taos New Mexico…many monks have fled there. I admire Laos and despise Lagos.

It was nearly verbatim; my understanding after silencing the noises in my head were as follows:

The extent of our thinking / imagination is confined by terminology. For a thought to exist there must first be a word for it. (Give that some thought…see how you are only thinking along the rails of words invented by others in one combination or the other) it’s when you think free of influence, can you reach enlightenment, not unlike the very people that coin words and phrases (Churchill comes to mind). Which brings us to the second part of his statement; “you too can be Buddha”….Buddhism is not a religion, nor discipline nor guidelines. Buddha was not a god, nor son of, neither a prophet nor priest. Buddha was a common man that reached the pinnacle of enlightenment, or if you will, wisdom. Buddhism is about seeking wisdom.

It starts with humility, which means being able to set aside influences. Some mistake it for meekness and get their gut punched out their rectums. Thus karate.

Yes it was Kurosawa the legendary Japanese director. That’s very astute of you…clearly a man of the world! It was his first movie, ever! He tried to commit suicide shortly before getting a chance to do this movie. He gave it his best as if he was just born without negative influences. YOU MUST SEE…hundreds of movies owe their existence to this film. Anyway the main character Dersu, spoke in a dyslexic manner much like my disjointed writing. George Lucas stole that character and changed on the name to Yoda.

Force may be with you.

Incidentally, poor readers concentrate on what’s written and not the message…. the irony of Islam.

Thank you wagner....Today will be my last day!

Yes my mom always said play with swine and you will stay in the mud.

I have meet some nice folks here...wish there was a way to stay in touch with them.

Andy,

Thanks.....I'd like to check these pictures out

Sumrao,

I'm easy to find. My username at hotmail.

Wagner is the over the hill, Vaudeville entertainer of Cbid. He tells everyone he's leaving, but won't get his ass off the stage.

Same story month, after month, after month.

He's had more combacks than George Foreman.

Don't worry Sumrao. He'll be back to leave again another day.

I'm leaving...

Oops, I mean Sumrao is leaving tomorrow. In a few more days I'll retire Minkou too.

Stop teasing. I'm actually Sumrao. Nice try.

Disco I interviewed Foreman by accident once—snuck in as press—given a royal treatment and then locked in a room with foreman---could not think of what to say, so I asked the obvious, why do you still do it?----response “do you know how many kid I have”

I'd give you my email addy Sumrao, but every time I show the least bit of affection, you start going on about cork soaking.......anyway........so long.

Adroomi has my contact info; you may ask him for it if you ever want to forward me some good british gay porn.

you say the funniest thing as we say goodbye.

P.S. LOL stands for Lots of Love.
