Just jokes

The topic for this blog has been floating around in my head for a few weeks now.Some of you may not know the whole story about where I got my nickname "Guru Bubba Mclovin". The Bubba part came from the fact that I am a big fan of country music and the Confederate flag(not anymore), the Mclovin part came when Amy and I were on our way to a party and we decided to get back to our crazy party roots (and I love the movie super bad). As for the "Guru" part, when I got into Buddhism, I tried to be as inspirational as I could to maybe pass on what I had learned. I had found what I needed to turn my life around and finally start being happy.


The term "Guru" is reserved for a teacher or spiritual guide. For the past few weeks I have felt a little uneasy calling myself Guru, even in a joking manner. I have neither the wisdom or the knowledge to be any one's teacher or guide. I started getting this bad feeling like I was being egotistical, like I was trying to fool people into thinking I was something that I wasn't.I know that I have a very long way to go before I should ever try and guide anyone down the path to happiness.

I know that some people think I am strange for following Buddhism and it has become clear that my positive out look annoys some people. I won't apologize for becoming who I have become, but I will let you all know that I never wanted to come across as a person who thought they knew more then you or had all the answers to life's biggest questions. I just wish that everyone could find the Happiness that I have found. Amy says she doesn't see any harm in me jokingly calling myself "Guru", because I am not trying to be something that I'm not. What do you think? Should I stop calling myself Guru Bubba Mclovin? I'm not sure how interesting I'll be if I lose my alter ego.Namaste, Blessings an Love to all.
