The World So Sweet...

Over 25 percent of the performers from Wrestlemania VII have died

Over one-quarter of the performers who took part in 1991's Wrestlemania VII have died, a wrestling website noted in the wake of the death of "Macho Man" Randy Savage.
The Wrestling Observer newsletter discovered that 14 of the 51 performers at the event have died in the past 20 years, with many of the deaths attributed to drug use (link is subscription only).
The list of wrestlers who have died since 1991 include some of the biggest stars in the sport like Savage, Andre the Giant, Miss Elizabeth and The British Bulldog. Causes of death include suicides, murder and heart attacks, some the result of years of anabolic steroid use. Savage died last week after suffering an apparent heart attack behind the wheel of his truck. His ex-wife, Miss Elizabeth, passed away after overdosing on a variety of drugs in 2003.
Looking at the list is a sobering reminder of the realities of a make-believe sport like professional wrestling. Not all of the men and women listed played a part in their own demise; referee Joey Marella was the victim of a car crash that occurred when he was driving home from a match.

As wrestlinginc.com points out, none of the 44 starters from the Super Bowl played in 1991 have passed away and only two of 44 boxers who held a championship belt that year are gone.
At 58, Savage made it nearly a decade longer than some of his deceased colleagues.

4:20 - The Definition

@via wikipedia 420(cannabis culture) Origins of term :

The term was allegedly coined by a group of teenagers, most notably Parker Haney, in San Rafael, California in 1971.^] Calling themselves the Waldos, because "their chosen hang-out spot was a wall outside the school," the group first used the term in connection to a fall 1971 plan to search for an abandoned cannabis crop that they had learned about. The Waldos designated the Louis Pasteur statue on the grounds of San Rafael High School as their meeting place, and 4:20 p.m. as their meeting time. The Waldos referred to this plan with the phrase "4:20 Louis". Multiple failed attempts to find the crop eventually shortened their phrase to simply "4:20", which ultimately evolved into a codeword the teens used to mean pot-smoking in general.

High Times Creative Director Steven Hager was the first person to track down the Waldos and publish their account of the origins of the term. Hager wrote "Are You Stoner Smart or Stoner Stupid?" (October 1998) in which he called for 4:20 PM to be the socially accepted hour of the day to consume cannabis. "I believe 420 is a ritualization of cannabis use that holds deep meaning for our subculture," wrote Hager. "It also points us in a direction for the responsible use of cannabis."

Sooooooooooooooooo What does the term 420 mean?

If you don't know that it is an international code word for smoking marijuana -- especially at 4:20 and on 4/20 -- you are not as with it as you think you are.

The term floats just below the radar of many baby boomer parents who are totally clueless about the vast underground that celebrates the term.

Parents will hear about it by spring. The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) intends to drag the code word into the mainstream. For the first time, it will hold its annual conference on 4/20 --April 20, a day known as Stoners' New Year.

"We have scheduled the conference to coincide with 4/20, the date that has become associated in the popular culture as a special day for marijuana smokers -- sort of what 'Miller time' has become to beer drinkers," says its Web site, norml.org. "We hope to build on that tradition."

NORML's Allen St. Pierre notes that, unfortunately, 4/20/99 was the day of the Columbine school shootings, but says he believes the two were not connected.

The origin of the term is a bit hazy. Some say it has been a police radio code for "pot smoking in progress." But Steven Hager, editor of High Times, has traced it back to 1971, to some pot-smoking wiseacres at a California high school who met frequently at 4:20 to light up. The term caught on and was popularized in the counterculture by the Grateful Dead, Hager says.

It is now "known universally around the world by people in the (drug) culture,"
Hager says. "And for 20 years, there have been important rituals and ceremonies that happen on April 20," including those on college campuses.

Those observations now include some teens staying home from school. "At most public schools, April 20 is an (unofficial) holiday," says John Heydinger, 16, of St. Paul, Minn. "Kids hang out and party."

Those who party too hearty might say they are "420-ed," he says, or really stoned.

St. Pierre is amazed "by the mass commercialization that has grown up around 420. Kids can buy all kinds of stuff with 420 on it," including clothing through the Net and "skateboards, surfboards, snowboards."

Some teens say they use the term almost as a joke. "It's like you see someone in the hall at 4:20 and say, '420, dude, ha, ha,' " says Brady Welch, 17, of Mt. Pleasant, S.C.

Teens don't make much of it at his school, says Jared Holst, 15, of Englewood, Colo. "Kids just happen to know what it means. Someone will say when it is 4:20."

Parents are usually oblivious to the reference, says Beth Kane Davidson, director of the addiction treatment center at Suburban Hospital in Bethesda, MD. "This is a whole culture with kids." The message is, she says, "even if your adolescent is at home alone at 4:20, and he smokes up, he is not alone. He knows somebody somewhere else is smoking also."

St. Pierre has some qualms about going public with the term for the NORML conference. "As soon as it gets bandied about on the Today show, 420 will fizzle as a cultural phenomenon."

where does your fist go?

By: @ Zen Mirror

To illustrate how thought and language distort our perception of reality,

the great twentieth century Zen Philosopher, Alan Watts, once posed the question, “Where does my fist go when I open my hand?” Watts wrote that in this question the word “fist” is “a verb masquerading as a noun.” He explained that a fist is an activity rather than a physical thing, but that our conceptual thinking hides this fact. If this is so, then are there any physical things anywhere? For example, where does a rock go when it erodes? Where does a cloud go when it dissipates? Where do we go when our body ceases to breathe? Every form that we conceive will eventually lose its form. A rock obviously holds its form longer than a cloud, but the principle is the same. Why, then, do we believe that something continues after our own bodily form disappears? Is it dreaming, or is there some part of us that survives our loss of form? If we have a soul, for example, why doesn’t a fist have a soul? The question about the fist is not nearly as trivial as it might at first seem.
To help sense the truth, we might open and close our hand several times. We could contemplate rather than think about what we see. We might look at this activity with our eyes rather than with our thought habits. Where does our fist come from and where does it go? Why do we imagine that we see a thing called a fist at all? In fact, when we look at the visual field in front of our eyes, our intellect creates an amazing illusion. First, it conceives form and void. Next, it symbolizes our concepts of form and void with words. Then, it repeats this sequence of events so often that we mistake the thoughts and words for the truth. Our intellect divides a seamless action into static states. It is like taking a still-life photograph when we need a video camera to capture the truth. A still-life photograph cannot capture motion. In the same way we see concepts of form rather than the truth. As we do this over and over again, we begin to think that these static images are the truth. This deadly mental process is so subtle and so habitual that it usually goes unexamined.
It is easy to understand that different words can represent the same form. For example, we could call a fist a “furkle” if we wished. However, it is not as easy to understand that concepts of form are equally arbitrary and artificial. Mistakenly, we imagine that the things we imagine are separate things rather than products of imagination. The process of conception thereby creates a kind of mirage that blinds us to reality. A fist is actually a concept a way of statically picturing an aspect of the truth. It is a way of mentally freezing the action. Rocks, trees, and human beings are also concepts. The reality from which these forms are abstracted is beyond all concepts or words! As we grow from childhood to adulthood our thinking gradually creates the illusion that the universe is a big thing composed of many little things, but it simply isn’t true!
The act of conception artificially divides something that is fundamentally indivisible. In the process, it destroys something holy. Conception is the reason that Adam had to leave the Garden of Eden (the real world); he began to create and then live in an imaginary world created by his intellect. He began to conceive ideas of physical objects, ideas of qualities, ideas of relationships, and ideas of measurement. He thereby lost the one thing that transcends all ideas. Each child goes through the same process symbolized by Adam. Born innocent and unified with reality, each child learns to imagine a world composed of things. The challenge of the spiritual life is to find a way to escape that imagined world.
To break free of the illusion that the world is composed of things, we must learn to look without seeing form and void. For example, can we look at our hand without imagining that it is a hand? Can we see what is in front of our eyes without imagining anything? Can we look at the action in front of our eyes without psychologically freeze-framing it? Can we look at the world and not see it as if it were divided into abstract states?
When we first try to see the world without conception, our thoughts will carry us away, but each time that happens, we must bring ourselves back to what our eyes see. We must look until we can see what Is.
The good news that Buddha and every other great spiritual teacher has taught is that the ordinary world of time, space, and objects is an illusion; it is like thinking that we see a fist when we close our hand. Like fists, human bodies appear for a few moments and then disappear. Where do these bodies come from and where do they go? Doesn’t it seem strange that we are not concerned about where we came from? If we do not know where we came from, why should we be concerned about where we are going? Our ordinary thinking about this issue hides the startling truth.
To see through the illusion of thingness requires that we leave the world of the intellect and see who and what we are. In fact, we were here before this body appeared and we will be here long after this body has disappeared. Anyone who is willing to make the effort can wake up and verify this simple fact. It does not require ideas, beliefs, faith, or religious rituals. It only requires using our perception in a different way.
The fist that seems to disappear when we uncurl our fingers does not go away. It is still here. Can we see it? Every single fist that we have ever made in our life is still here! Even if we had wanted to get rid of all of those fists, where could we have put them? No matter where we look, there is only one amazing thing before our eyes. Can we see it?
If we choose to identify with a human body, then we must die when this body dies. However, if we choose not to be attached to a personal identity, then we will perceive something quite different. Forms come and go, but the field from which forms appear and disappear is infinite. The field is who we are.
