So the Dude… Or the guy that plays the Dude (or El Duderino) got in front of a camera and apparently got some other Dudes a bit… well let’s say less than calm. I’d say more than a few went full Walter. If they were on a lane, you’d think they’d pulled a piece out. Yelling and carrying on. Definitely making a scene, and one that few could miss.
What was that about? Well, Jeff Leb… I mean Bridges said that he was making a public show of support, as a “white dude” for a particular candidate.
Why the ruckus? I guess some people want other people to just stick to the script. Some people want a dude to carry on with some persona. A persona that some folks might assume a lot about.
This was no Port Huron statement, man. This is just an opinion. It’s not a statement of fact, unless of course we’re talking about the fact a dude said a thing, what we’re talking about here is an opinion. Much like assholes, I’m pretty sure that we all have ‘em.
I gotta say that people sure do spend a lot more time and energy expecting the world to conform to some standard they they imagine. They complain and intimidate others who don’t conform to some expectation they have, rather than appreciate those individuals’ unique qualities.
Now here I go, on my own soapbox; I suppose I’m expecting a bit too much from some people. My mom once told me there’s 360 degrees of people to make the world turn. I guess I can’t expect to get along with all of them. Out of the last 360 people I’ve met, I am quite sure there’s more than a few I regret spending the time with.
But like my mom was trying to say, its even those folks, the other 45, 90, 180 or 270 (depending on your particular brand of uniqueness) that we do not enjoy the company of, that do, in some way, get behind this big blue marble and keep pushing it around. Metaphorically speaking of course.
Yep, so to those dudes who think the Dude should have stayed in his lane, kept his yap shut, or otherwise be someone he’s not; to those dudes I say; bummer man. Sometimes you eat the bear and well, sometimes he eats you. Maybe stay out of the woods; because there’s bears and I can’t tell you how they’re gonna react.
By the way, let me buy ya an oat soda and let’s talk about bowling instead?
