10 thumbs up
Here's something I put up on my regular blog on Veteran's Day. Maybe people here will enjoy it. Or hate it. Or whatever...
An interesting confluence of things came my way recently. Over the past couple of weeks I received three or four e-mails from people in the military saying how much they'd enjoyed my books. One was reading Hardcore Zen while stationed in Iraq....

I googled "wonder wipes" to buy some online for my guitars and your blog came up in the top 5 results

I always really enjoy reading your articles and posts. They give me alot to think about and also a good dose of mental contentment for lack of a better term. I think what it is......come to think of it, is that you have a very assertive, positive way for sticking up for a person's point of view and for their honest determination in life. You see through the crap. Lately, in my own life, I have come head to head with a great many people who find it great to focus on everything wrong or chose to deal with everything in a way that's ....I don't know, selfish perhaps? It's really draining. To read your articles is like a breath of fresh air and reaffirms that, thank goodness, not everyone is like that. Thank-you!

Brad, how can you stand writing for a website when all you get in response is negative feedback? I couldnt do it

Thanks!! 
Here is the video from CNN:
I will be on CNN Newsroom Sunday on Sunday August 24, 2008 during their Faces of Faith segment at 7AM. I don't imagine they're gonna do the whole show just on me. So I'll be on sometime around 7-ish. I also don't know if that's 7AM throughout the country or just 7AM Eastern Standard Time, which'd make it 6 Central, 5 Mountain and 4 over...

Stories are just stories. Story-tellers are just story-tellers. Amen to that!
Looking forward to the new book, Brad. Good luck with the interview!

I saw you on CNN today totally on accident! You were great.
Lamb of God are very metal. Formed in Richmond, Virginia in 1994 as Burn The Priest, the band quickly became one of the hottest bands on the heavy metal scene. With a name change to Lamb Of God, they signed to Epic Records and went on to conquer the hard rock world. D. Randall Blythe, the bands lead vocalist, has one of the gnarliest sets...

Recently Dusti posted a set in which she posed with Noah Levine's book "Dharma Punx." Now, according to Noah's own website, Noah was offered the job of being Suicide Girls' official Buddhist blogger but turned it down saying that he did not want to be associated with such stuff. I don't know the man personally. Nor has he told me this himself. I only know...

That's a pretty funny idea for a shoot.
scribit:
lol, i heard the Podcast with you and Satya being interviewd whalst i was in hospital, really helped me get through, made me chuckle until i hurt, so i thought I'd send you a message now i'm out and a bit more together
Assumption is a huge part of reading. It's impossible for any writer to communicate his or her whole life to you. And anyway you wouldn't want to hear about their painful bowel movement following last night's Indian dinner or the new toothbrush they just bought at the 99 cent store. Or maybe you would if the writing was really superb. But even if they told...

Great pic, Brad! Sounds--and looks--like it was a fun time!
Wow. Spanky Butt Bitch did another 0DFx video! Here it is:
Better Way - Zero Defects 0dfx
Some people have been mouthing off (or is it "fingering off" since they were typing their comments, why does that sound so rude?) about vegetarianism, both in my Google blog and over at my teacher, Gudo Nishijima's blog. I've commented on the subject numerous times. But here goes...

"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...

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 
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!

Wow, I've read both of your books, but that's the first time I've actually heard 0DFx! You sound way better than you give yourself credit for!
Thanks for all the comments to my latest article. I do appreciate them.
You might be interested in this e-mail I received from one of my "Dharma Brothers" regarding the article. His name is Jundo Cohen. I'm sure he'd enjoy hearing your opinions on his teachings. Good luck to anyone who wants to "go public" on the dirt about me or make me...

Thats not very Zen is it? What exactly is it that bothers him so much?
sougei:
Hm. Another reading comprehension problem. And a writing one. So, you're free to do what you want (passively observe an event and discuss it online) and he's free to...physically stop you from doing what you want (actual teaching in real life)?
I can't believe the crap you get. If you got really smashed in this story and fucked every girl in the bar and claimed to have magical powers that made it all ok, maybe people would start taking you seriously!
Don't change!
