  Jun 4 2011: aarons got it right as well as i would think people live a little bit more conscously with a little more discipline in other countrys, plus we probably eat a whole lot more of it as well as the fact they probably get more exercise

• A comment on Talk: Jim Toomey: Learning from Sherman the shark

  Jun 4 2011: He was quick, i love animals, i'm even a vegetarian don't get me wrong i even care for sharks, but as a surfer, forgive me but i'm gonna jump on saving dolphins before i put my life into shark conservation, forgive me if that's wrong to say, that was a good cartoon i've never seen it in the papers, hopefully the sharks ar'nt aware of whats doing this to them, the're extremly intelegent and i would hate to run across a pissed off shark, while i'm surfing in the ocean

• A comment on Conversation: Would world become better if there were no Ego??? How to overcome "ego" ???

  Jun 4 2011: I try not to get too in my head about it, i accept and love my Ego and continue to try and do good for others. because for me it is hard to separate myself from myself if that makes sense. As i feel sensation on my body i automatically identify myself with that sensation and when that sensation is but a memory is that still who i am, is that my ego and how fast do i become my ego, i decided a while ago to love and accept my past and present as a whole and embrace my entire ego and current observer, and stop worrying about it

• A comment on Conversation: Long term relationships with plants

  Jun 3 2011: Thanks for your comments the're all very good, that's funny Debra that was one of the few times your husband got mad at you for neglecting the plant, i'm sure it had a lot to do with the fact his intention behind the plant was to strengthen your bond, i have used my plants a lot for that same purpose in my relationship, and i absolutely agree, you don't need to give them much for them to give you a lot. and your relationship to your guitar is kinda like my relationship to my surfboard, or snowboard, i care for them greatly and they help me express myself through their genius. i've recently started thinking that a simple but worthy goal in this life is to give more then i take, and i believe planting trees, fruits, vege's and even coconut trees are a great means for doing so, i some times think about a lot of the humans today including me at times, veging out in front of the TV and basicaly wasting life force and the life force of those who believe in me including my plants to be selfishly entertained, while plants and trees are basically always in a state of meditation to make this world more beautiful to live in as well as learning how to harness one of the greatest givers of all times gifts, the Sun. IF i can plant enough trees and plants to support the happiness and nutrition of many, then i will Die a Happy fulfilled Human, and sadly enough it may be my greatest accomplishment.
