🎬 The Dude Abides Principle in Action
Tapping into the energetic force of the universe

"The Dude Abides Principal" says is that there is this energetic force that has your best interest at heart that you can tap into it any time you want...

I do have a bit of The Dude in me. I consider myself kinda lazy but when I look in the rear view mirror, I've done a bunch of stuff, so I don't know how that all works out... On my recent Panama Canal Crossing I realized that.

Now that the U.S. economy is no longer in full and uber achievement mode and people have lost faith in AmeriCAN financial and political institutions... Heads Up! for the ultimate test of cerebral fitness.

No one could really get on board with my assertion that laziness is the religion of the 20th century. Furthermore, cruising is when it finds respectability. It is the new blue chip thing to do: Nothing.

1 = 1 = Infinity

Do the math: Happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you have. Wanting what you have = gratitude. Having what you want = gratification.

I am happier when I spend money and time on experiences instead of material goods. I'm living my dream of PT-Permanent Travel, also known as "Mini Retirements"

There aren't any problems at sea, only situations. Cruising hasn't solved my "situations" it subsidizes them! Situations don't get solved. Things are always in flux—they are either coming together or falling apart.

You are the sky. Everything else – it's just the weather.

The Gospel According to Eat Pray and Love Cruising

The Urban Monk is an attitude, no strings attached, living in this world but not of this world, telecommuting at location neutral, Hotel @nyware. Home is where my computer is. More than that, Be A Nobody. Of course you have to be a somebody before you can be a nobody.

No biggie I'm just one of the 36 souls on the planet at any given moment who are pure, righteous, and mostly unaware that the fate of the world rests with them. Until now—wow what a responsibility brotherly love is.

Still Abiding After All These Years

As a Once and future dude, my epic, meandering tale(s), just might be like Sir Galahad's mission to retrieve the Holy Grail.

This ceaseless labor and cycle that never ends—the absurd repetition and meaninglessness of traveling around the world gets mined for—and sometimes creates—spiritual gold for me.

Am I eternally cursed like The Myth of Sisyphus, the Greek hero damned to endlessly toil by repeatedly pushing a rock up a hill... that ends up rolling back down again and again as I realize Success is continued enthusiasm despite failure after failure—because success without fulfillment is failure.

AmeriCANS repeat after me——I can achieve without a weave—Join the union. Be Brave and Shave your head! Bald is a hair color.

Traveling, nevertheless, is like shaving—If I don't do it every day I start to feel like a bum—Maybe I am a slacker and burnout—but the rest of the planet, Yo Heads Up—I agree with the FB comment of Gary Stroud, my high school English teacher—The Dude abides.

"People say that what we are all seeking is a meaning for life. I don't think this is what we're really seeking. I think what we're seeking is an experience of being alive." — Joseph Campbell

The Dude Abides

In the cosmic flow of existence, sometimes the greatest wisdom comes from letting go.
The energetic force of the universe has your back, Dude.
