Title: Struggling to remain Dudely
Post by: A.B. Dude on June 05, 2011, 12:56:00 AM
In the past two days, the following has happened:

-I got abnormal test results back and have to follow up with my doc
-My mother threatened suicide, disappeared and didn't answer her phone until she was found in a hospital due to some back problems
-The Bachelor's degree I earned last month is not valid because of a class I wasn't told was required

I keep trying to tell myself that life is full of strikes and gutters, but fuck, it's like these people are trying to cut off my fucking johnson. Fellow Dudes, how do I let things roll? I'm trying my best to abide.

Tomorrow I'm going to go and work in the garden, maybe drive around, listen to Creedence.

Any suggestions?

wow dude, that's a lot of shit to weigh you down. But what can you do but try and abide the best you can.
Just ask yourself What Would The Dude Do?
Yeah, driving around and listening to Creedence sounds dude indeed.
Here's wishing things work themselves out for you dude. 8)

Thanks, Dude.

I know that the Dude would probably roll a J, but I might be one of the only Dudeists that doesn't do that.

Although considering all this new shit that's come to light, and feeling like the goddamn plane has crashed into the mountain, I may have to give it a try.

Well, A.B. Dude, I'm sorry man, it's a fucked up situation. But, it will work out in the end. Don't think too uptight, stay in the moment. If I were you, I won't touch the J's if you have problems. That's the worst time to start! And by the way, I'm also one of the non J- smoking dudes!

A wiser fellow than myself once said: "Behold the birds of the heaven, that they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not ye of much more value then they? And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit unto the measure of his life?" (Mt.6,26-27)
I think that wraps her all up. What good is worrying going to do? It won't change everything. Stay in the moment, man, clear your head, focus, be dude and then try to fix things. And then, if you have a clear head, go talk to your mother. That's a thing you could do. And then, if that's behind you, just go fix the subject for your Bachelor! The health thing, well that's difficult, man. Just meditate, pray, and abide.

Good luck with everything, man!

Thanks Dudes. :)
Did a bunch of gardening today, which helped. Left my cell phone at the house so I didn't have to deal with anyone's shit but my own.

Hey dude,
Keep abiding. Try to focus on your breathing. My mantra is THE DUDE (breathe in) ABIDES (breathe out).
