Daily Zen - Thursday, July 27

"I'm bored" is a useless thing to say. I mean,

you live in a great, big, vast world that you've seen 

none percent of. Even the inside of your own mind is 

endless, it goes on forever, inwardly, do you understand?

The fact that you're alive is amazing, 

so you don't get to say "I'm bored."

~ Louis C.K.

Daily Zen - Friday, September 25

You need to build an ability to just be yourself

and not be doing something. That's what the phones

are taking away, the ability to just sit there.

That's being a person. Because underneath everything

in your life, there is that thing, that empty --- forever empty. 

That knowledge that it's all for nothing and that you're alone.

~ Louis C.K.

Life Advice From Louis C.K. That Might Make You Sorry You Asked

A new book of not-so-helpful advice from famous people is being published by the folks at The Believer magazine. This exciting new work, entitled Care To Make Love in That Gross Little Space Between Cars?, contains a wealth of personal guidance from a group of stable well-rounded celebrity-types like Amy Sedaris, Zach Galifianakis, Weird Al, and Bob Saget. What could possibly go wrong?

You can find some hilarious (and curse-filled) samples from the book here. I thought I would share one of my favorites from comedian Louis C.K.

Dear Louis: Is secondhand smoke really as bad as everyone says it is?

Dear Rebekkeh: Very good question. Let me give you some statistics.



1. Your name is stupid.
2. Nobody cares what you think.
3. I hate you.
4. I have a pretty nice penis. It’s not huge, but it’s well sized and it’s nice. This isn’t directed at you. It’s directed at any attractive woman reading this book who might run into me later in her life. I’d rather advertise my penis than answer your stupid question. Idiot.
