I was wrong to assume that because I predominantly write our hyperlocal blog for our Cape Ann residents that people would understand how preposterous the notion that you could have time to move all the lobster gear even if they knew where the lobsters were released and to set it and for those lobsters which were probably miles away from that location would ever get caught.

I was obviously wrong and people did not understand with the outlandishness of it all that it was a joke.

It’s on me.

What I am happy for is that the releasing of the lobster story which would have been a simple story largely forgotten by now has gotten huge legs and all the positives of Buddhism are highlighted. For that I am grateful.

For those of you who would like to learn more about Chokhor Duchen click to find out.

You know the craziest part? So many people think I’m hatin on Buddhism, but I download a Buddhhism podcast from this guy that Lindsay Crouse recommended that I listen to- Lama Marut.
Check him out, the guy makes a lot of sense.

By the way I totally blew it.

Diana Perez, a super nice reporter from WBZ called this morning and wanted to talk about the story. I explained to her how it was a joke and suggested she go and speak with Tuffy about it. but I totally blew a tremendous opportunity to create a brilliant masterpiece.

It would have been great if we had Tuffy dressed in a Buddhist robe and have incense burning at his house when she came to interview him. He could have pushed back the beaded entryway, invited her in and explain about his new-found enlightenment and then ask her if she would like to practice some of the stuff in the Kama Sutra.

Dammnit, I’m losing my touch. It must have been the no doubt bad karma induced headache I’ve had all day which clouded my thinking.
Missed opportunities!

Anyway, seriously I highly highly suggest anyone to listen to some of the teachings of Lama Marut. the guy is a real like lama but he speaks to you using western Principles. The dude is seriously brilliant.
Happy Day! Namaste!

The Ethnic Arts Center will perform two showings of "Beastie, the Sea Serpent of Gloucester" Puppet Show on Thursday, August 11, 2011 at the Children’s Area of the Cape Ann Farmer’s Market in  Stage Fort Park, Gloucester.
