I have gone through life in a well-timed, planned, expected, somewhat well-adjusted manner and because of my need to be predictable and steadfast, I have found myself many times thinking of the past, planning for my future, but rarely living in the present. Around twenty years of age I began a search for a way of life to help calm my wandering mind and find a focal point and bring a higher quality of life. Studying Buddhist philosophy involving mindfulness has centered my life and brought…

A simple change in name usually does not come as a huge shock for most people in our society, after all they are the same person. Chad Ochocinco was still Chad Johnson, just with a new and improved last name to signify his number, eighty-five. Metta World Peace…
