It DOES rain in Southern California

On this side of the earth (which is 10 time zones away from South African Time) things has been crazy! One very good analogy of the JIT experience came from Elbe a follow Jitter in Houston; and she sums it up as follows. “It’s as if you live in a reali...

USA 2006

We set out at 8PM for Washington DC from New York. Once again it was inevitable that we were going to get lost on the way. After eventually arriving after midnight, the lit up Washington Monument stood as a landmark, a reminder that we were in the Ca...

Monastic Silence in the Northwest

I flew to Utah. The snow was dense at the meditation retreat... It was time to walk nowhere to move nowhere.... I was peeling the thick onion layers: Fleeting thoughts and deep physical pain, physical pain and then errupting emotions. The ...

 

Western USA

Disneyland. I want to talk about this critical place. It's really important. This was the meme lab that interested me the most. It was primitive, but effective. Disney was a bold meme pioneer. He was also a drunk, a paranoid, an FBI snitch and a hopele...

Kim's Life Pre-2006

Both sides of my family are all located in Michigan, near Ann Arbor. They are mostly farmers, or used to work for GM. Whenever I go there, I feel like I've hit the Bible Belt. A lot of the area that they inhabit is where a lot of Kentucky people mov...
