on growing up in a buddhist household

Dec 18, 2001 17:23

in comparison to some people i know, i guess it's kind of cool not being raised as a homophobic, sexist, cycle breaking, flesh eating, narrow minded, spiritually, and religiously dependant mental crippple who is scared of sex, but when december comes around, oh how i envy those non buddhists. everyones all going apeshit about christmas, channukah, quanzaa, and eid, and are bombarded with presents and cookies and all the nice crap. what do buddhist kids get? we get fucking lotus lanterns on sukamuni's birthday. a fuckin lotus lantern. what the fuck am i going to do with a lotus lantern? it's not edible, it's too fragile to use as a container. i guess i can hang it up on the ceiling, but why would i want to waste that space? i already have a fucking paper lantern that i stole from a psudo yatai in a grocery store in new jersey.

and yeah, i know i'm not supposed to have desire and all, but i'm rarely dissapointed, and i have no feelings to suffer, so i think that i am above that level. also by admitting to have desire, i am being modest in accepting the fact that i am only a human, which makes it all even.

so, oh, beautiful Avalokitesvaya the great Bodhisattva, if you are reading this, please bless my broke ass with one or all of following goods:

1. yashica T5
2. that new victoria's secret miracle bra with the fake breast implant baggage that gives the instant clevage effect
3. Comfort Women Speak: Testimony by Sex Slaves of the Japanese Military by Sangmie Choi Schellstede (Editor) Soon Mi Yu (Photographer) - (side note: get this book, muthafuckaz, and help setting some shit straight.)
4. the new Fugazi release
5. paper towels
6. a rolleiflex TLR
7. yummy cookies
8. MAC white eye shadow
9. a gym (synergy) membership
10. toilet papers

thank you.
