I listened to that song on my discman (plugged into the tape deck of my 91 ford bronco on the way home home from my high school pizza job at Noble Roman’s) on repeat, every night on the drive home while smoking some northern lights. It was #1 regardless of the official charts.

There’s a specific type of (usually east coast) Jewish kid who idolizes black hip hop culture because it reminds them of a Jewish world they were too young to inhabit. The kind of stories we were told from our grandfathers that only exist outside our world post true assimilation

I have concluded after long, long study that Robert Stone was the greatest American writer since 1970 or so, and I am willing to fight about it. I think it's not even that close.

Confucius says:
at 15 I began to do my own research
at 30 i could stand before an audience and speak
at 40 i had very little doubt left about what I was saying
at 50 i knew my mission
at 60 i could hear and understand all the perspectives that differ from mine
now at 70, i can simply speak my mind

I will never get over the fact that Li Bai, one of China’s greatest poets, was born in Kyrgyzstan.
Coming back through immigration at JFK a rude awakening after a week of cool East Asian efficiency. One window open, line of 400+ US residents getting longer with each new arriving flight. With a tax base like ours, it shouldn’t feel this much like Paraguay!

Visiting the Taoist Priest Dai Tianshan But Not Finding Him
A dog's bark amid the water's sound,
Peach blossom that's made thicker by the rain
Deep in the trees, I sometimes see a deer,
And at the stream I hear no noonday bell
Wild bamboo divides the green mist,
A flying spring hangs from the jasper peak
No-one knows the place to which he's gone,
Sadly, I lean on two or three pines

夢筆生花 is an idiom used to praise someone's exceptional writing skills and talent.
