Now... Where Did I Put That Damn Zen???
by Amy Austin on September 24, 2010

Okay... one thing that's always seemed like a great idea in theory, but feels impossible in practice, is meditation. I just cannot quiet my brain... which is so loud that it even produces the night-time head movies that make my eyes rain. ;-p (Never go full retard, folks.)
But watching this comes pretty darned close to a meditative state, and -- more importantly -- it makes me smile.
(Also... take note of the Antoine Dodson update -- good for him!!)

More Sleep Torture... Should Be Unconstitutional
