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.

I gently reminded AmeriCANS that we should get ready for the biggest cataclysmic event since those planes hit the buildings in 2001---It’s called the magic of letting go. Read More:

There aren't any problems at sea, only situations. Cruising hasn't solved my "situations" it subsidizes them!

| "The looser I keep it, the more 'Dude' I seems to be" |
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.
As
a Once and future dude, my epic,
meandering tale(s), just might be like Sir Galahad's mission to retrieve the
Holy Grail.

| First, you have to shave your head" is the life sentence to my great American novel life ---"Hair today.Gone tomorrow" Gone to Maui too. The best "career move" I ever made |
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.
AmeriCANS repeat after me------I can achieve without a weave—Join the union. Be Brave and Shave your head! Bald is a hair color.
Still
Abiding After All These Years: The Lai’d-Back World of Ed Reif
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.
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.
