OMG its me! ummm my real name is Brian! shocking! exclamation points! I try to be a hippie everyday i think Buddhism is totally amazing. The only problem I have is that I don't wanna get rid of my material things I'm actually very confused with my religion and what I believe in, but I see Buddhism as more of a philosophy. I also think the blocking of marijuana's legalization is ridiculous. If you don't, than you need to do some research. When I'm high, I become EXTREMELY inspired, as I know many people do. I believe that being in that state of mind is the state of mind one is in when they are very close to reaching enlightenment. It makes sense, no? I play the guitar and violin... and I listen to just about anything when it comes to music. Let's see... a few more random facts about me: I hate Bush, I love politics, and ummm I like food.
Well, aren't you just a bundle of energy.... The best thing to do with religion - regardless of what you practice, is take what you can to better your life... having the material stuff is fun, regardless of what buddhism preaches!
