The Moon

Mood: Wondering
Reading: the five people you meet in heaven

Why is it that all the other planets have cool names for their moons like Ganymede, Titan, and Phobos, but Earth's moon is just called "the moon?"

...and don't say Luna. That's just "moon" in Latin.

Maybe there are other cultures that have names for the moon, but what would you name our moon?

The Book On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are, by Alan Watts

Mood: Happy
Listening to: Doors -- Break on Through
Reading: The Book -- Alan Watts

You were never born; you never die.

Birth = forgetting who you really are.

Death = remembering again who you really are.

Break free of your conditioned condition.

BEERS IN THE RAIN

Mood: Happy
Listening to: Tears in Rain --Oakenfold (Vangelis)
Reading: Dancing in the Shadows of the Moon
Watching: Blade Runner

I'd like to modify a quote made by Rutger Hauer in Blade Runner right before his character died. --"All those moments will be lost in time like tears in the rain."

"More moments have been gained, thanks to beers in the rain."

Thanks also to Deviot for making it all possible.
