Cell Phone Fun!

After a month of resarching new phones & plans, I felt this was appropriate! BTW, I picked neither...go Sprint & the Samsung Moment!

The more I look around, the more I find that Alan Watts is all over! It seems that even South Park is in on Mr. Watts. SP co-creator Trey Parker, was raised in Colorado, where his father tried to teach him Buddhism. Now, years later, Trey and his animation pal Matt Stone have brought to life the teachings of comparative religion expert and philosopher Alan Watts! Here are some of the Watts’ pieces...

Alan Watts, philosopher

I just ran across this lecture on the radio over the weekend by a gentleman named Alan Watts called "Ecology & Religion" and found it REALLY thought provoking. Alan Watts (1915-1973) was a philosopher, writer, and speaker. He wrote over twenty books and numerous articles on subjects such as personal identity, the true nature of reality, and the pursuit of happiness, relating his experience to scientific knowledge and to the teachings of Eastern and Western religions and philosophies. He really struck a chord with me and the more I listen to Mr. Watts, the more enthralled I am with his words. This particular lecture was done in 1970 and has been edited into four parts. Unfortunately, I've only been able to find parts 1 & 3 online thus far. Take a listen!
