http://dudespaper.com/no-frame-of-reference-9.html/Things are slow here at St. Da Fino’s these days, which is cool because the Arch Dudeship has allowed his thinking to become too uptight lately. Lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta nihilists with cleft assholes making life exhausting for everyone. Nothing changes.
Yes, even the most devoutly casual dudes can suddenly ram the laid-back El Torino of their lives into the down-in-the-dumpster of stress.
It’s a real bummer when it happens, but you know, as the Dude says, fuck it. You can’t worry about that shit. Life goes on, and as it does it’s good to keep in mind that the karmic pattern we weave (or become entangled in) depends so much on what we think and how we act. You start out early fretting over small things like where’s the money and before you know it, man, you’re an old human paraquat in a wheelchair growling about micturating on rugs.
Happens all the time. Just look at Cheney.
