    Happy 70th birthday to the worlds most beloved TKD Blackbelt!

    I mean Willie Nelson! I don't care if his black belt is worthless (and according to this article, he earned it when he was in his late 60's, so that's not a promising sign of his martial prowess) but d@mnit, he's one of America's greatest cultural treasures. If you're not thankful for his existence, well, you oughtta be.

    Talk about spinning kick flying too close to the ground.

    That's a great song, but I often wonder about it's authenticity - I mean, what does Willie know about being close to the ground?

    (why don't we have a joint-smoking smiley?)

    been listening to Willie all day.

    the NPR station here will feature a musician's music all day on their birthday.

    he was also on World Cafe` tonight playing a gut stringed Martin geetar.

    oh, hmmm...I'll post a separate thread cuz she is shore worth it.
    "George never did wake up. And, even all that talking didn't make death any easier...at least not for us. Maybe, in the end, all you can really hope for is that your last thought is a nice one...even if it's just about the taste of a nice cold beer."

    "If you find the right balance between desperation and fear you can make people believe anything"

    "Is enlightenment even possible? Or, did I drive by it like a missed exit?"

    It's simpler than you think.

    I could be completely wrong"

    i thought elvis was the worlds most beloved black belt.

    * although i do think willie is waaay cooler. (or at least mellow-er)
    The more you know the less you need to show.

    May you be filled with loving kindness.
    May you be well.
    May you be peaceful and at ease.
    May you be happy.
