Being a Dude

[Tom Evans]

Being a dude is something I've always aspired to but it is beset with a problem of its own making.

What exactly is a dude?

When you are one, how do you know?

Is dude-status something you claim or do you have to be nominated by others?

Maybe I am a closet-dude already, about to be Outed and take up Dudism.

I am sending this blog out in the hope that the Ascended Master Dudes, who have reincarnated at this time to bring the planet to full DudeDom, will share their enlightenment.


... inspired by a message from Dude A Bydes

Hemaphrodudic... I like the sound of that concept. I'm all for equal oppordudity. As for Yin/Yang, you oughta know, brother Tom... it's all about the balance. (Speaking of "Yang"-- I think I'm wearin' that little green strap on the wrong appendage.) -Dude

Sounds like someone has had one too many of something! It's all good dialogue this commenting , hey! Should cut and paste into a story.....

Hey - I've been taking 12 new authors through my Yin / Yang meditation & breathing exercises all day today at my latest writers' workshop - http://thebookwright.com/workshops/ - so not so much in touch as wrapped around it like a hermaphrodite Mobius strip

The Dude-Meister has made a dudilicious proclamation - that settles it then ??

Tom: To quote mssrs. Cohen: "Let me explain something to you... I am not Mr. Lebowski. I am the Dude, so that's what they call me, that or... His Dudeness, or the Duder, El Duderino (if you're not into the whole brevity thing...) Well, The Dude Abides--I guess that's the way the whole durned human comedy keeps perpetuatin' itself. I don't know about you, but I take comfort in that. -Dude
