A man once told the Buddha, “I want happiness.” The Buddha then replied with:Remove the ‘I’ — that’s ego. Remove the ‘want’ — that’s desire. Then all you are left with is happiness.

I was never more certain of how far away I was from my goal than when I was standing right beside it.

Stadiums as Cultural Icons by Brian Basner

I would like to introduce you to two of my new favorite tumblrs of all time: Stadium Porn and Stadium Love. Quite simply, they take you on a glorious visual journey of different stadia from around the world, sometimes in varying degrees of construction. I tell you the truth when I say I have spent several hours at a time looking through both of these tumblrs, often imagining what it’d be like in person or what I’d do with it if I could.  
It’s also given me a new thesis: Stadiums are as important to the culture and history of a people as, say, Independence Hall or the US Capitol building.  
Think of how many people that care about the halftime score at the Champions League Final in Munich this past weekend. Or the millions of Americans who watched the Super Bowl this past winter and those last two minutes of the game. Now compare that to the number of people who care about the poll numbers for the 2012 presidential race. Or Senate race. Or their Congressional district race. Admittedly based on instinct, I would guess that more people care about football scores than poll numbers. Read More
