Click on the link below to see the new oDFx (Zero Defex) video.

"Two Minute Hate" by 0DFx

The video was put together by the immortal Ms. Spanky Butt Bitch of the Screaming Smoldering Butt Bitches. Pretty cool, if you ask me. Nice combination of stuff shot at our shows in Akron and Cleveland last year plus some vintage footage. The soundtrack is from the new recordings we did last year, which will hopefully see the light soon.

I got the world's worst Internet connection. My next door neighbors, an organization called Insight LA, gave me their password and told me to use their wireless all I wanted. The problem is that the signal is unreliable. Sometimes it'll be so strong I can sit there watching YouTube videos and sometimes it's like the dial-up I had in 1997 that took two hours to download an e-mail (and I thought, That's so cool! It takes a whole week for a letter to arrive in the mail!). Is there any kind of antenna I can hook up to my iBook? Or rabbit ears or something? Right now I'm on my back porch, where the signal is stronger. It's a little chilly. But it's not like February in the real world, here in Santa Monica. Chilly in February here means it's below 60.

I got invited to a Suicide Girls party on Thursday at the Roxy. That should be fun. I'll see if I can get some better pictures this time. Surely the "Brad is the Porno Buddhist" guys need something new to post rants about. I found a big long thread all about that the other day. Good God in Heaven, don't people have anything better to occupy themselves? The Internet must be the greatest time wasting device ever created.

This afternoon I had lunch with one of the Suicide Girls. A certain spiritual teacher of hers caused her much grief by saying that she couldn't be a real Buddhist if she posed naked on the Internet. I just find that attitude incredibly weird. I do not get it at all. Not even when I try to get it. It's such a pervasive attitude that I sometimes wonder if I should think there's some kind of problem with people posing naked on the Internet. But I don't. And I don't imagine I ever will. It's art. Deal with it. Sorry, world.

Steve Gay, who flies all the way out from Phoenix to attend our Zen things in Santa Monica, posted a couple quotes from an author he likes named Byron Katie to our Dogen Sangha Los Angeles Google group. I've never read any of Katie's books. But I do like These quotes, so here they are:

"Life is simple. Everything happens FOR you, not TO you. Everything
happens at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late.
You don't have to like it - it's just easier if you do."

and

"The great way is easy. It's what reveals itself right here, right
now. "Do the dishes." Answer the e-mail." "Don't answer the e-
mail."

Have a nice day!

I've had thoughts around the appropriateness of SG with the rest of my lifestyle... Sometimes I wonder "Is it wrong for someone's yoga teacher to be naked on the internet?". I don't have the answers.

Ha! Awesome video!

Great quotes, too. You know, I stopped asking questions about porn and Buddhism after reading Ikkyu's poetry. biggrin

You updated! See how much better that is?

Wrap your laptop in tinfoil and see if that helps.

I'll make sure you get a creepy picture to create an internet fuss.

Haha funny rant. I was sort of joking, I am not becoming a millionaire or anything like that, but seeing I haven't a set up since 2005 tongue
It's just handy money if you write good reviews and people like them. I write in Spanish so this might be no help to you, but there must be something like that for English speakers too. Basically you just have to join and review whatever you feel like it. It pays better if you are the first one to review something. You can review from books to records to washing machines or tv shows.
Hope that was helpful and hope that people ask you to review stuff soon! smile
