Gotta keep faith

What I learned from the latest issue of New York Magazine:

(I took a pic on my phone of the cover. I mean to judge something by its cover seems completely fine when the cover is as brilliant as this.)

#1- As of February 22nd, the Dalai Lama has a twitter.

No seriously, you can "follow" him if you want. At first I was like what the fuck is he twittering about? How the traffic blows on the Bay Bridge in mornings? Or how that drive-thru chili at lunch was a bad idea? Then my brain went into a really fun visual picturing the Lama himself sitting pool-side with his beloved BlackBerry curve in hand, a Frappachino nestled in his crotch, twittering: "@TigerWoods love one many times, not many at one time." I mean of course he has some "assistant lama" doing his twittering for him I'm sure, but after one google search I found out the DalaiLama has over 340,000 twitter followers and pops out motivational kernels like this one he sent, "If you wonder what you were doing in the past, look at your body; to know what will happen to you in the future, look at your mind." I feel like Panda Express invented a substitute for DalaiLamas tweets years ago, which are wrapped in an origami sweet treat called: fortune cookies. Then I thought maybe the Pope was on twitter too, uploading his favorite pictures of Justin Bieber shirtless but I couldn't track him down. 


Side-note: I do not have a twitter account, but clearly I also do not have a life.
