I can't tell whether the monkey is male or female from the film clip but I immediately thought about the monk video because it focused on their faces. A zen monkey indeed!

I think there are female monks now although traditionally it was a male thing in the same way that priests and rabbis were always male. I don't know why that is with these because there have always been priestesses and their equivalents in the world and always will be. It's a man thing, I guess.

Have you seen 'The Wheel of Time' by Werner Herzog? Incredible film documenting Buddhist monks, religious pilgrimage and the creation of a tme wheel. Another world in our own world. Totslly blew me away when I saw it at the cinema; I was riveted to my seat. It took me a while to get into the rhythm of the film but Herzog's voice and the gathering unfolding, the film's little vignettes and observances, the sound at the end....well, I liked it!

I don't know if Joaquin is a Buddhist or not. I would think that if he was a practising Buddhist he would have been a lot calmer at the Venice red carpet and press conference.

I haven't seen 'Earthlings' and I'll probably never watch it either. Too gruesome for me.


I liked the eighties song!

What a great song and band! Thanks for posting!


I found this vimeo clip of the band playing 'Say When' and another song called 'Again' in a basement. I like to look at musicians play their instruments and this vid is wonderful for that. I like the song 'Again' too. Can't make out all the words but the music more than makes up for the lack.

PS: I tried to send you a pm but it says your inbox is full and you can't receive any more pms until you free up some space.

Thank you for listening to the track, this is a very nice band indeed. I just read and replied your PM. Thanks admin for your technical assistance, I didn't realise my inbox was so full ! I've just put up a real pic of me. I figured I've nothing to hide ! I a a fan of Joaquin Phoenix and the master, YES !!

Thank you Admin It took me a year to put it up

Sometimes I think journos read our posts to get ideas for their articles. Remember when I compared Joaquin to Brando? after a couple days there was an article comparing him to Brando. Another time something similar happened ( I forgot what it was now)that made me suspicious.. maybe not, I cannot help but wonder..

I hope you're right and they are shy.. I think sometimes fans just want to log in and say how sexy and how good JP is Well, there is space for everything !
If you are a Joaquin fan, please do sign in, we are waiting for you

Thank you Admin,

I didn't want to sound pretentious but since you also say its possible it might as well be. I agree that the profession has denigrated a lot. I was reading an article last week about how sometimes certain newspapers publish false news to generate buzz, ppl then flocks to their site to read the false news ( advertisement pays site to place ads there) then they issue a correction, but nobody cares and they already made their money. Very classy, don't you think ? Facebook now does similar strategy to make money. I will get you the link.
If they don't check facts they are creating disinformation . People take what's in the newspapers as truth. It's a lot of responsibility .. not having own ideas is as bad !!

Summer is over for me too, it's raining ! I am most definitely a Summer person. I love it because I enjoy the outdoors . In the winter it's too cold to do stuff out ! Do u have any hobbies ? Just curious xx

Just watching films/documentaries, playing on the internet and experiencing this reality in general How do you pass your time?



I think you made a good move. I personally don't use facebook, i usually avoid voluntarily putting my personal details on government databases whenever possible

I see we've got a couple of new registered users recently Sami, maybe they'd like to post a comment or two, even if it's not related to Joaquin directly...

You guys are enjoying the summer already? Wow didn't realize where you all lived! It's freezing down here in New York! Where I live, we just got hit with 30in of snow! It was crazy! Now it's a rainy, gloomy day with plenty of snow on the ground. I cannot wait for summer though! So much planned

Oh wow! I didn't even realize it! Wow, we both got it pretty bad! I didn't even think I would need snow gear this year, but sure enough, BAM, 30 inches! Crazy weather!

I've been considering moving to Australia or even Peru... I am not a cold weather person. Ppl here take breaks to The Caribbean but i can't afford it at the moment at least.




I'm sorry I don't know why it's upside down, the pic. I tried to fix it !

Here it's melting thanks to rain.. I'm so thankful it won't stick. The worse it's to have the ice around for a month after it snows.. Let's hope tonight it doesn't freeze !

The photo doesn't look upside down to me. You must have fixed it without realising.

Most of the snow has melted here but the pavements where I live still have remnants and because it froze last night and today it's like walking on shards of glass. Hehe...I'm British...we love to talk about the weather. Well.....we do have 4 seasons! Lots of weather to talk about!
