Life can unfold unlimitedly as long as we have a heart of appreciation and an undefeated mind. Based on the Buddhist perspective of the eternity of life, we volunteered to be born in our current life-condition and chose to encounter the problems we have. If you can take this perspective, you should be able to overcome any difficulty with joy. Daisaku Ikeda

What is Value?

The ability to stay on talking points?
The ability to be consistent?
The ability to create a fair return or equivalent in goods, services, or money for something exchanged?
A numerical quantity that is assigned or is determined by calculation or measurement?

All of the above?

American Workers - uh, No Value

Creeeeeepy!

Nam Myoho Renge Kyo

What the hell does that mean?

It means: I align with the mystic law of cause and effect through sound.
It means I am not a victim.
It means I take responsibility for myself and... this world.
It means, if I created it, I can change it.
It means peace throughout the world and the happiness of all humanity.
It means there is tremendous hope.

It means I am that hope.

A nurse who cared for many terminal patients has observed, "Ultimately, people only die as they have loved." To die happily is therefore extremely difficult. And since death is the final settlement of accounts for one's life, it is when our time comes to the fore. We practice faith to live happily and also to die happily. One who has faith in the Mystic Law will not die an unhappy death.
Daisaku Ikeda

Who's that girl?

Value

Laura Gerritsen was her girlfriend and life partner-- let's call these things as they are.

Succulent Value

Some numbers...

I love the Daily Kos, so you do the math and figure the value. Okay?

Value

Fresh from the "Betty", Stevie Nicks managed her way into the "Tango in the Night" recordings to capture this gem. Oddly enough, not long after this, she and Lindsey fought to the point where he threw her over the hood of a car and slapped her. Then he left the band. In his defense, Stevie admits she also got a couple shots in there too. Curious, given their glances and behavior in this vid.

Value, in the long run.

I hope that each of you will realize success in your respective fields, fully recognizing that success means not giving up halfway but resolutely pursuing the path you have chosen. To this end, it is also important that you realize that the place where you work is a place for forging your character and growing as a human being. By extension, therefore, it is a place for your Buddhist practice, a place for practicing and deepening your faith. When you view things from this angle, all your complaints will disappear. No one is more pathetic than someone who is constantly complaining. Daisaku Ikeda

Oh, total value!

Planet Unicorn, bitches.

And done!

Welsh Value

Vintage, Welsh Witch.

Gets crazy about 4 minutes in.

Close the mouth.

And I have no problem with lisps or front teeth-ish things, really.

Shtitks.

One's true worth as a human being is not a matter of outward appearance or title but derives rather from the breadth of one's spirit. Everything comes down to faith and conviction. It is what is in one's heart and the substance of one's action that count.
Daisaku Ikeda

Value, your way-- but don't get crazy!

Bon Qui Qui does it your way!
Total value.

Value?

Okay, not to be a total whore-- and I have no probs with whores, in fact, I love them.

That said, watch the "Katie vids" and you tell me... value or no value? Be sure to see the one w. over 23,000 hits in the light blue bathrobe before you judge. Heee!

Value!

The vid is down but Tina Fey showed up last night to "antic" Sarah Jessica Palin on SNL. All I wanted to know was that she was assailed. Now, Michael, is that really considered value? Yes it is, mo fo!

Heee.
