"The Wireless" by Augusten Burroughs in the November 2008 issue of Details magazine.

"Even the most civilized place on earth can feel like a Third World country when you have to go back to using a modem connection."

Delicious self-mocking humor. Laugh out-loud stuff. I could relate to his tale of himself as internet junkie.

If this is indicative of his writing in general, I'm going to put his books on my reading list.

"Vintage footage in the documentary The Times of Harvey Milk shows that Milk carried himself, as many gay men do (much as we hate to think about this) in a distinct style. Most of us are lit from deep inside by a subtle, unmistakable edge of self-consciousness that is the closet's bequest. Gaydar is the ability to recognize this quality: the faint but indelible separation between mind and body that develops when a man has spent years wondering if everyone can see the truth about him"

Poem: Abu'l-Qasim Sumnun

2008-11-09T23:47:51Z

"Well have I quaffed time's water-skin,
And tasted all its joy and pain;
Yea, I have pressed its mouthpiece in
My lips, and sucked out every drain,
And destiny has poured its cup
Of griefs which drinking, from my sea
Of patience I have filled it up
And passed it back to destiny,
With patience I am shod, and roll
Time's chances round, me for a dress,
Crying, "Have patience, O my soul!
Or thou wilt perish of distress."
So huge a mass my sufferings are
That mountains, trembling at its height,
Would vanish, like a headlong star
And evermore be lost to sight."

- Abu'l-Qasim Sumnun (translated by A. Arberry)

"The fish trap exists because of the fish; once you've gotten the fish, you can forget the trap. The rabbit snare exists because of the rabbit; once you've gotten the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words exists because of meaning; once you've gotten the meaning, you can forget the words. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words so I can have a word with him?"

"There is a beginning. There is not yet beginning to be a beginning. There is a not yet beginning to be a not yet beginning to be a beginning. There is being. There is nonbeing. There is a not yet beginning to be nonbeing. There is a not yet beginning to be a not yet beginning to be nonbeing. Suddenly there is being and nonbeing. But between this being and nonbeing, I don't really know which is being and nonbeing. Now I have just said something. But I don't know whether what I have said has really said something or whether it hasn't said something."

(A student was asking how to explain to his friend the idea of focusing your energy when you meditate. His friend did not understand what this "energy" was.)

Dr. Hull: "Get right up in his face and very sincerely call him a 'motherfucker'. <explosion sound effect>" *class laughs* "There -- transference of energy."
