So Long As It Is Black: Black in Fashion

I personally own little that is black. So I must not be in fashion :(


... I do own some green however.
anyhow, were you making reference to the forums? The new green coloring now, and I thought the outline name coloring was black originally. It was but a play on that. (maybe it was orange now that i think about it) Green is the new orange?

what if annoying someone would serve the purpose of enlightening? i sometimes hear that you need to heat the iron to mold it.

it's true that the path to enlightenment is thorny and strewn with pitfalls but it is a fine line to walk between being a guru and being an asshole....i suppose the real difference is if tour student achieves enlightenment....or not.
