Movies
The greatests of all time. Apocalypse now, In the mood for love, A bout de souffle. Favorite directors: Obviously Coppola, Wong Kar Wai and Goddard but also the Cohen Brothers, Wim Wenders, Jim Jarmush, Lynch, Terry Gilliam, Beat Takeshi, Miyasaki especially for Spirited Away, Zhang Yimou, Scorsese, Luc Besson for the Big Blue, PETER GREENAWAY, Lars Von Trier, Kurosawa, Leos Carax, Nikita Mikhalkov, Tarantino, Peter Jackson for Lord of the Ring but I still favor Braindead, and so forth, and so forth... I must pay a special tribute though to Takashi Miike for most of his films, and also to Jodorowsky for El Topo. And why not to Trey Parker/Matt Stone for Team America.

Cang Xin is a bona fide shaman; he holds the profound belief that all things have spirit – both animate and inanimate objects – and is a member of an order of enlightened holy men who have the ability to enter various forms at will. As one of China’s most celebrated performance artists, Cang approaches his work as a means to promote harmonious communication with nature. His works have included bathing with lizards, adorning the clothing of strangers, and prostrating himself on icy glaciers: each act representing a ritual of becoming the other.
Sekkyo asked one of his accomplished monks, "Can you take hold of empty space?"
"Yes, sir", he replied.
"Show me how you do it".
The monk stretched out his arm and clutched at empty space.
Sekkyo said: "Is that the way? But after all you have not got anything".
"What then", asked the monk, "is your way?"
The master straightway took hold of the monk's nose and gave it a hard pull, which made the latter excl.. "Oh, oh, how hard you pull at my nose! You are hurting me terribly!"
"That is the way to have good hold of empty space", said the master.
Those who see worldly life as an obstacle to Dharma see no Dharma in everyday actions. They have not yet discovered that there are no everyday actions outside of Dharma. Dogen
Ouaips, J'avais l'intention de m'activer aujourd'hui mais le fait que ma fan ne me suit pas dans mes déplacements fait que je suis assise sur mon steak à nerdiner... J'en profite donc pour répandre un peu de fraîcheur sur myspace...
Today was such a beautiful day. I rode thru the city in the clatter of spinning burning belching farting hissing machines and felt like the angel in this painting but kneeling in motion and kneeling for the glory of the wind and the sun and the rage of the entirety throttling up and racing on a rusty beast.
