What bothers most critics of my work is the goofiness. One reviewer said I need to make up my mind if want to be funny or serious.

There is a very simple secret to being happy. Just let go of your "demand" on this moment. Any time you have a demand on the moment to give you something or remove something, there is suffering. You are arguing with "what is." Your demands keep you chained to the "dream state" of the conditioned mind. The desire to "control" is, ultimately, our unwillingness to just be awake. ~Adyashanti

Something that will either change your life for the better, or end it forever. Chaos. ~James Michael
