Updated my username on a whim from @146 but just realized I can never change it back because of the minimum username requirement on Twitter now. Looks like @146 is gone forever now...

Although I am a Buddhist monk, I am skeptical that prayers alone will achieve world peace. We need instead to be enthusiastic and self-confident in taking action.
