Leo Moon » fishscales Then Punky’s Whips And Titties and Beer!

Zappa was great!

I love bringing the low and the high together.
The primal base and the highest spiritual and intellectual occupying the same space.

Hopefully that makes sense and gets my meaning across.
It’s a real key idea to me.

fishscales » Leo Moon Speaking of Zappa and beer, here´s a good quote:

"You can´t be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer." - FZ

Don´t know of any titty quotes offhand, but there´s plenty in the song...

Leo Moon » fishscales Frank was , absolutely, a true original.

We were talking comedians tonight and George Carlin shared some characteristics with Frank.

Cutting social satirists. Love them both!

fishscales » Leo Moon And speaking of George Carlin, here´s a great one from him:

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."

fishscales » Leo Moon And a more traditional one from him... although no less accurate:

"Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac? “

fishscales » fishscales If you can´t beat them, arrange to have them beaten.

George Carlin

Wisdom

Leo Moon » fishscales Ha ha great one from Carlin.

I need to get back into his work.

Leo Moon » goldenlion32 Really like those 3 pieces of wisdom You posted.

In my view the world would improve greatly with a dose of Zen and Taoism.

To move away from the concrete , black and white dualism and explore non-theistic philosophies of living, perceiving and being.

Plus somebody had to re-evolve this thread!


( meaning You .....)

Leo Moon “There is nothing good nor bad that thinking makes it so.”

“If you try to learn with your intellect, it is more difficult to absorb the teachings on a deep level. The mind looks at something and says, I don´t want that; I want this instead. But as you simply continue to train, something changes. What changes is deeper than your intellectual knowledge, deeper than mind or heart.”
― Linda Holiday, Journey to the Heart of Aikido: The Teachings of Motomichi Anno Sensei

Awesome one.

I spent some time in an Aikido class. Great experience, but I had to move.

Sensei taught a breathing exercise that I still use to this day.

He looked like Yoda too.
