About this blog

The short version:

Rebel Zen is a blog run by me, Seamus Anthony.

It is about Meaning: the search for it and how to deal with it’s ultimate absence.

It is about achieving inner-peace AND worldly success – and the tension that often exists between the between the two needs.

If “Rebel Zen” as a phrase means anything at all (which it probably doesn’t – it just sounds cool), then it’s about the dynamic interplay between our need to gratify our desires to kick-butt and our quieter needs for peace and fulfillment of a more ’spiritual nature” (although I hate the word spiritual as to me it implies fluffy ideas like “souls” which I am not entirely convinced exist, not as they are commonly understood anyway).

It’s also sometimes, but not often, about that Greek fried cheese dish with a name that sounds to me like a Japanese word – God, I love that shit.

The Long Version

All of the above but also the following:

• I tend to go right off topic a lot, especially as I am forever pushing my music. Feel free to ignore or dig as you see fit.

• Rebel Zen began as a blog run by myself and Steve Mills, but now it’s just me, so you will find plenty of mentions of “we” and “us” and also some of Steve’s fine writing.

• I currently have two slogans on the go, both of which I love and despise simultaneously (like anything I write really). They are:

Rebel Zen and the Glorious Art of Being Imperfect

Rebel Zen: DIY Enlightenment

Buggered if I can choose which one to use; maybe I need to waste an afternoon dreaming up a third

• As of May 30th 2010 I have uploaded a new website design so there may be glitches in the matrix as yet undiscovered by me so feel free to let me know if anything is broken.

Why not subscribe so you don’t miss out on all the mind-blowing awesomeness?
