Funny story: I was part of a Marxist reading group back when I was a student because I had the desire to read more traditional Marxist philosophy (which unfortunately they rarely did). I left the group after they did a reading arguing that Capitalism invented homosexuality.
I might get back into doing sitting meditation; I used to do it back when I quit drinking and was suicidally depressed. Now my students are driving me to do it. I had a student ultimately admit to me that they were illiterate.
I thought that I would treat myself to a gift. I got the new Castlevania game and Final Fantasy Resonance.

For me, it was mostly the first albums that I bought that made me a fan of both Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk. When I was a kid, the first album I bought of theirs was "Solo Monk," and the opening song "Dinah" still has a special place in my heart. 1/6
