I just spent the past four weeks in a Zen monastery in the mountains where sex is not allowed. Now I'm in San Francisco on Friday night typing on my damned computer! This is what happens when your only friends are Zen people.
So it looks like I'll be back writing for Suicide Girls. Got a call from Nicole asking me to get on board....

Hope to read you soon!

Thanks. And I re-read that post & realized it makes no sense. The ref was to the new book I've got out -- Sex Sin And Zen. But the plug was worded too weird to make sense.

Your trusted reporter, reporting today from a bagel shop in Brooklyn where he has just finished a pumpernickel bagel with butter and a too expensive cup of orange juice.
The place I slept last night was not fit for human habitation. That's not a judgment call, or even my personal opinion. I was actually OK with the place. But it was inside a disused factory...

Gah. Sorry you got screwed over in Brooklyn. I've got friends in NYC too, if you're ever up shit's creek without a couch. A couple of friends who I've loaned your books to, actually, so you could pull rank probably. lol. And a couple of folks who would just put you up cuz they're awesome.
Oh: This is Aikido Mike on FB, too. Popped back on here to cancel my account. But yeah, if you're stuck, feel free to holler. I'm in NYC often, in both Manhatten and Brooklyn/Park Slope, for aikido stuff.

That's a big step to decide not to go back, Buddhist monk or not! ;-)
Here are some "Buddhists" who don't have a fucking clue what Buddhism is all about.
This story just disgusts me to no end. I have no idea what the fuck is up with these so-called "Buddhists" in Sri Lanka. But I do not represent them and I want nothing at all to do with jack-offs like this. I hope they ban my books over there...

Here's a photo (scroll down) of the survivors of the Austin Dharma Punx Zen Retreat 2010. We all made it through alive, but just barely!
The retreat was held March 18-21 at the Recreation Plantation campsite a little ways outside of Austin, Texas. My first teacher routinely runs retreats at campsites in Ohio so I figured this would work out OK. But I was too...

That sounds pretty great, Brad. Despite the epic weather, y'all look like a bunch of happy campers. (D'oh!)
I'm leaving Los Angeles this weekend for good and all.
I've lived in LA for a bit more than 5 years now and it's been good and bad. You can't beat the weather. You can see just about any film ever made, even when they don't play other cities. Every band plays this town.
But in the end what tipped the scales was that it's...

A change of scenery isn't all bad. Good luck. Love your books and your blog.
porphyria:
I really appreciated you leaving love on my new multi with drave "made you blush", thanks for the support <3
I am having more fun in St. Paul, Minnesota than anyone should be allowed to have!
nufaname:
Oh I didn't know you still used this blog.
I'm really looking forward to your new book. I've got quite the Brad Warner collection already, but sometimes at night, when it's real quiet, I can hearing them calling out for their unborn friend. There seems to be a distinct lack of books on Sex from a Buddhist perspective. I'm glad that someone has finally decided to address an issue that so many others either pussy foot around or ignore completely.
Also, When are you touring Australia?! You have quite a few fans here in Aussieland, We have Zen centres too! (note, Centres, not Centers. I really hate that my spellchecker picks me up on this.)
P.S - I signed up to SG because of your columns. But after they let all their columnists go, I stayed on because, well, you know.

Hey thanks! I'd looooove to go to the Land of Oz. But I'm not wealthy enough to jet down there on my own money. If I could find a sponsor of some sort I'd go in a heartbeat. Do my books sell in Australia?
The family is going to Wal Mart this morning. Wal Mart!
sonoframbow:
Well that's what Black Friday is for. And maybe even Cyber Monday.
Just getting back from Canada. I love Canada! On my way to Dallas to visit familiy and then on to some speaking gigs in Minneapolis/St. Paul. Woo!
There was a peculiar notion going around my high school in the white bread and meatloaf suburb of Akron, Ohio where I grew up that said that bands like DEVO were wimp rock. But seeing DEVO at the Music Box Theater in Hollywood where I had the privilege of sitting in on the final rehearsal for their current tour gave the lie to that. Even...
