Style

By thescian on January 7, 2008.

Found a Buddhist statue that's got style. (Style: also know as cool, aesthetics, taste and w00t!)

I sent this picture (well, tried to) to all those unfortunate folks on my friends list in Facebook using some weird app that kept crashing on me (or my instance of Firefox 3 Beta). In the end, I think I sent more than a few duplicate messages. Sorry and dang. Facebook, as I see it now, would be my place of cool - pictures, art, music, and such. Also hopefully, I'll rub off some cool from those who unwittingly accepted my request to be their friend.

If you liked the Buddha, here's another. Both pictures were taken in the British Museum. Above is from India and below is from Japan (black and emaciated because it is supposed to be Gautama after six years of spiritual quest when he ate and drank very little).

Kids Keep You Young
