Nothing makes me happier than good writing

[chanaleh]

By the grace of laurens10, today I have added a new favorite writer to my mental roster: Jay Michaelson of Zeek (and also of Burning Man). He manages to put his finger on exactly the sorts of things I want someone to notice and explain about hypercapitalism, ecology, spirituality, sexuality, mindfulness -- or lack thereof -- all the sicknesses that plague America today, and why things are not as they should be. And how they could be better and truer.

I want to spend the rest of the day devouring every column in this archive, or this one. (I'll try not to, though. Maybe later. Maybe I'll subscribe to the printed version of Zeek.) What a great, mind-expanding feeling.

Oh yeah, and to top it off, it turns out Jay was also the editor of the Yale bencher, Az Yashir Moshe. My goodness.

Jay was also a friend of mine in college, and a member of the same literary/debate society. He is indeed a talented writer, a funny guy, and a thoughtful soul.

Small world, this.

All I can say is... it figures. :-)

That bencher is awesome -- thanks!

And he's single, too...

Great... I could recommend him to all the single gay men I know in New York, if that set were not empty ;-)

Now, now. His info says he's bi, although leaning towards men.

I'm so happy to be part of the conduit of Jay Michaelson-itude (tapuz was the one who originally found him). =)
