For me making my own soap is abiding. It's like Fight Club without the fighting (or human lipids). This is a social activity I do with good friends. It's mellow, it's relaxing, I don't pay tax on it and it's high in extra virgin olive oil. No dude, I didn't say we get high on olive oil. Abiding is the vibe man.
I don't got no problen with the iconography of Lebowski but I aint stuck on it.
I don't got no problem with religion, because we get to define what Dudeism is.
Happy to abide in both camps.
Right now me and Mrs Rockbury are cooking up a hybrid of Dr Greg Baer's 'Real Love' and Dudeism.
We're going to call it 'Loveism' (what else).
;D .........

What no human lipids, shame!
;D
Boston... good to hear from you. How's the meditation centre going?
ps... making soap in France? There's a stereotype in there somewhere, begging to be played out... :/

Thanks, DB :)
I've been having a bit of a George Nelson, same as usual. I run hot and cold on things all the time, and that includes the forum here. For a while I'm on it all the time, and then suddenly I just don't feel like it anymore and stop coming on. Same with reading, gaming and just about any pastime of mine. Give it a few months and I'll slink away again in a hearbeat for another stint. Still, whilst I'm in a strikes phase I might as well roll a few until I hit a gutter :)
I have been considering a new DP article on that very issue, actually... just not quite there yet to getting my brain to warm to the idea. Strikes and Gutters, the George Nelson effect :)

"I run hot and cold on things all the time" seems to me to be a very dude-like regiment, Rev.; gettin' a lane, giving notes, rolling, driving around, and then taking time to slack off, jump in the tub, burn a J, fix a Caucasian, etc. A good example of dudeism if I ever heard one.

Good to hear from you too Rev. Meditation centre didn't work out so I've switched to large scale cannabis production - pretty boring but the money's good.
