No matter how Dudely we are, we will always see things through our own preconceptions. My goal is to ACCEPT that things are as they are. This in turn removes my preconceptions and bias and hopefully allows me to chill with the flow. I’m open to other thoughts on this!

Stay chill Dudes!

Of course one must remember that Walter did over complicate. The uzi, the “whites”, keeping the baksheesh aa well as throwing himself out of a car with said uzi did overcomplicate the plan.

So in statement I whole heartedly agree. As to Walter’s plan… a Swiss fuckin’ Watch.

Over complicating is easy. Simplicity can.be too if one is used to over complicating.

Like last… what day is it?

You can pile all the websites & tests but in the end it weighs down the person with a heap of dunk from a black steers tukus. Death is inevitable. Fuck it, no? Mortality is not a fun thought but it simply is. It’s going to happen. Have a Caucasian. Simplicity in itself.

As ling as they have at least creamer.

Simplicity & minimalism are very close though isn’t minimalism a philosophy steming from the Theory of Simplicity? A sub-philosophy if you will?

It’s something to ponder though breaking the cup is rather existential and there for not Simplicity at all. Existential acts are so complex, taking in the human mind, thoughts, FEELINGS & that desire to to finish your coffee that it could make very undude.

I think that to hear those first prayers you have to reach a state where everything is new. Limber mided as that may sound it could be something that is very powerful in your bean.

Say, for instance you love the water, I do myself but not so much toilet water, & think of this: there were no religions & I am the first one saying this. Sort of an improvised state of being first inline.

“I had my posessions down to one drinking cup. I saw a kid drinking water from his hand. I smashed my cup and cursed myself for having carried around such unnecessary drabble.” A story told by the philosopher Seneca the younger about some other philosopher.[attachment file=94932]

A desperate act of trying to create a reality that didn’t or couldn’t exist.

“I just want….” or “Why can’t I…” or “Pleeeeeeease!!!!”

Calling to the infinite distance of the sky was the only other target that wouldn’t offer instant denial maybe, the opposite of where the prayer came from. The infinite inside.

Without that immediate or possible denial affords hope perhaps.

Hope is momentum and potential. The essence of life itself.
