One of the things about living in Nashville is you see "stars" doing mundane things. Yesterday a couple of us went to lunch near Music Row (yes, we work on Music Row) and walking down the street was Big Kenny (the tall one above). I've known this guy for years - not friends or anything - I had a friend who worked at the publishing company he wrote for back in the days of his band LuvJoi, or whatever he called it. I've known many woman to fawn over him. So, when he walks past yesterday my office manager, a very oversexed woman, looked at him and was disappointed. "Oh, I don't want to do him anymore." I think was what she said. Apparently, Big Kenny in real life isn't as "big" as some people have been led to believe. Hope stories like this don't bruise Kenny's big ole EGO.

MLS & Budweiser introduce the Budweiser Golden Boot

Boy Scout official pleads guilty to child porn You know, for the longest time there was all of this stuff about the Priesthood and how it fostered homosexuality and thus, pedophilia. I think alot of that came from the fact that people wanted to hate Catholics. They needed an excuse to say..."see, I told you they were freaks." We'll what about this...the BSA is one of the most honored civic organizations in America and now this guy who went camping with boys, propbably showered with men and maybe even boys, is found to have be caught in the same situation as these priests. Did anybody ever think about they fact that this has to do with 1. personal problems, not organizational and 2. access? If the priesthood or altarboys, included more girls don't you think they might have suffered the same fate as so many of those boys? I just think it's ridiculous to blame this stuff, or claim this stuff is about homosexuality.

What is most essential to Buddhism is based on clarifying the mind. If you want your mind to be clear, it is important to put opinions to rest. If opinions are not stopped, then wrong and right are confused; if the mind is not clear, reality and illusion are mixed up. If you stop opinions and clear the mind, then reality and illusion are both empty, wrong and right do not stand. Hsueh-yen

When the wise person drives out heedlessness with heedfulness, having climbed the high tower of discernment, sorrow-free, he observes the sorrowing crowd-- as the enlightened man, having scaled a summit, the fools on the ground below. Dhammapada, 2, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.

Those who argue and discuss without understanding the truth are lost amid all the forms of relative knowledge, running about here and there and trying to justify their view of the substance of ego. If you realize the self in your inmost consciousness, it will appear in its purity. This is the womb of wonder, which is not the realm of those who live only by reason. Pure in its own nature and free from the categories of finite and infinite, Universal Mind is the undefiled wonder, which is wrongly apprehended by many. Lankavatara Sutra

As I'm watching TV I keep seeing this Expedia commercial. The one where the guy sees himself at the poker table and then his wife asks him to change the toliet paper... Now that I'm about to embark on the married life to a woman who is light years more practical than me I wonder if that really is the way of the world. Are wives more practical than husbands? Is that the case everywhere, or is it an American thing? Is this a new phenom or is this old news? I remember TV shows like " I Love Lucy " where the wife was the ditsy one. Has that changed? Just wondering.

Planning Department eyes East Nashville Concerns & issues cited include 1. redevelopment in East Nashville has the potential to increase the “intensity” of the land there — the density of residential and commercial development on it. 2. a desire exists for redevelopment and economic revitalization to occur along Gallatin Road and Dickerson Pike at a rate equal to what they have been in other sections of East Nashville. 3. redevelopment in East Nashville could potentially further “gentrification” there, “making it difficult for current and some potential residents to be able to afford to live in the area.” Jennifer Carlat, Planning Department policy analysis and communications officer, said that though the community plan update cannot directly create affordable housing, “what we can do, through the update, is provide land use policy that encourages a variety of housing types at different price points” to help make housing affordable.
