Koan: A Parable

Buddha told a parable in sutra:

A man traveling across a field encountered a tiger. He fled, the tiger after him. Coming to a precipice, he caught hold of the root of a wild vine and swung himself down over the edge. The tiger sniffed at him from above. Trembling, the man looked down to where, far below, another tiger was waiting to eat him. Only the vine sustained him.

Two mice, one white and one black, little by little started to gnaw away the vine. The man saw a luscious strawberry near him. Grasping the vine with one hand, he plucked the strawberry with the other. How sweet it tasted!

Deoxy will change your brain.

Remember when you were a child and you wanted the best bike? Just seems like all of a sudden cultured people are allowed to drool over 'material things' like silly clothes. I just want to put sticks in the spokes of every cyclist I see on one of these beautiful beautiful bikes.

Sent this Tweet last night, steaming drunk.

Probably the best / worst thing I'll ever say.
