| Introduction | Zo: Too damned old; an apparent cranky, demanding old bastard, with too many damned troubles, like my grandfather Arhur Clay Calvert's (b1876), dog Trubles. I have a notoriously bad attitude regarding the American left. Though I follow Zen and meditate, I am bound up in Southern Baptist guilt-trips(Ala Jim Harrison). Sometimes I go the the "funerary" and nearby, I kick around the leaves on the green grass of the cemetery and wonder where Daddy is. Mostly though, in the still quiet moments, on some stream somewhere, sometimes I have found peace, and knew exactly what Norman McLean was writing about when I read his book, when I watched the film, "A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT". I know that I am headed straight on to hell and deserve it...BUT, there are moments when I find peace and contentment daily -- through meditation. Me? I absolutely abhor the Nanny state, most of my peers of the 60s, Marist University in particular. For all of the left I will apply an old quote from the Vietman era: "F--k 'em, feed 'em fish heads the sorry bastards, they can all kiss my ass". |
| Interests | flyfishing in salt or fresh water, camping, politics, writing, theology/buddhist/catholic studies |
| Favorite Movies | "The Brave Cowboy" - Kirk Douglas(Lonely are The Brave-the book by Edward Abbey), and an odd one that too few have seen -- in Spanish so subtitled -- "Guantanamero" -- I laughed my ass off at delivery problems of a single casket from one cuban province to another in Castro's regime with a resumed love affair in the background. |
| Favorite Music | Jazz, R&B, old time country swing - Bob Wills who played at my Uncle's place one time in Tulsa, so it's Big Balls in Cowtown.... |
| Favorite Books | "Outlaw" - Warren Kiefer(Lorenzo Sabatini)-a little known but great work of fiction; Gabriel Garcia Marquez - "Love in the Time of Cholera" and "Memories of my melancholy Whores", I would mention much western lit--Elmer Kelton's "The Good Old Boys" or the "Time it Never Rained"; Abbey's trilogy a la Jack(John W. Burns). Deepak Chopra's "The Third Jesus"; Merton's "Seven Storey Mountain" or how about anything by Thich Nhat Hanh |
