"Of course Magic is supportive of and loves his son. Why should anyone be surprised? What I can't tolerate is a lack of tolerance." - NBA superstar Kobe Bryant, responding to yesterday's TMZ story about Magic Johnson's support for his gay son. TMZ ponders: "The strong implication -- tolerance is not just limited to parents and their kids, but to pro athletes whose teammates may soon come out of the closet. In case you aren't reading between the lines -- given Kobe's stature, his statement could have a huge impact on athletes coming out."

Nirvana Right Now
Maybe
we think that nirvana is a place where there are no problems, no more
delusions. Maybe we think nirvana is something very beautiful, something
unattainable. We always think nirvana is something very different from
our own life. But we must really understand that it is right here, right
now.
