An Image to Haunt Your Dreams

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

From a New York Times interview with Columbia University professor of Buddhist studies (and Uma’s dad), Mark Thurman:

What do you think about when you meditate?

Usually, some form of trying to excavate any kind of negative thing cycling in the mind and turn it toward the positive. For example, when I am annoyed with Dick Cheney, I meditate on how Dick Cheney was my mother in a previous life and nursed me at his breast.

    That visual is so disturbing that I’m going to have to kill myself.

    Oh no… now somebody with too much time on their hands is going to photoshop something together and it will go viral. That’s almost as bad as goatse or tubgirl. (P.S. if you haven’t seen those. Don’t look for them)

    I can’t believe all the hate being dished out on man-boobies… The vice-president’s probably a nice hairy c-cup! Get him a tramp stamp and he’s ready to hit the stripper circuit…

    Aaron: Thank you so much for the correction, I thought I’d have to change my first name.
