Damn those Buddhists..

The title is a part of a quotation from the book written by Erlend Loe, Supernaive. The original text goes something like this (This is a translation by me, it may include some inaccuracies but you'll get the idea):

"I'm convinced that it is a matter of enthusiasm. The lack of it.
I need to find it. Conquer it back. It's hiding somewhere.
Probably it shouldn't be talked about. It is a bit like Zen.
By trying I can't ever succeed. I can succeed only if I don't try.
Damn those Buddhists. They think they are so damn smart."

Now you may ask why I thought of this text today.. Well, I'm sort of missing a person.. not just any person but a person that inspires me. I read and follow a lot of blogs that give me ideas and the feeling that I'd like to do such things as well. But to be honest.. I need a special person to inspire me so much that I'll take all these ideas to action or some serious ass-kicking.. I used to have that kind of person, but ever since Mondo Bizarro started their break I haven't had the privilege to get inspired by this certain person. Yes, I'm missing Woffe's writings. I would call him a friend even though we don't know each other's that well. It's that sort of feeling you just get with certain people. I respect his way of looking at life, I like his perspective of things. I like his twisted humour. He could inspire me simply with his writings. I can easily be a lazy-ass data-nerd but he got me off my ass and moving, taking the action. He annoyed me, I agreed with him, he made me feel guilty and he made me laugh. He is probably one of the most sane and insane person I've ever met. And it's all good. Wish he would continue writing soon, start a blog or something..
