An Idiotipycal form of
living
The essential elements, principals of the d&b way life form: beer, dog,
TV, bed, lounge, munch, perhaps garden and a minimal financial income (e.g.
night
guard's job, unemployment benefit). Also some connected activities: walking
the dog, drinking beer, sleeping, eating, gardening, related housework (as bathing
the dog); all projects that conclude in meditating, free experiencing, contemplating
as those are the aims of this kind of living.
Some would say it means being a layabout, which is a complete misinterpretation.
These people, who are unfamiliar with the main ideas of the d&b, are
the constractionworker-type
ones, or those who strive to be those. They define the d&b's as layabouts
with complete abhorrence, which is rather a racist behaviour. It all follows
the "constructionworker mentality", and it is obvious that these two forms
of being are antithesis of one another.
The d&b is an ideal situation, the maximal manifestation of which is
the state of free-mind* (or C. W.'s would say layabout).
This is the most effective form that is equal with meditation in other cultures.
About it's appearance
The d&b is not a magazine, but set of works discussing this lifestyle,
in any kind of media (picture, object, text, film, music etc). Also it is not
magazine, as the traditional meaning of this word is shop or periodical with
bright pictures, etc. A kind of show, everything that is colourful, and can
be presented. It has no columns, no particular themes to expropriate. As the
d&b is not magazine, it will always contain all new and old works, and
there are no editions. All works connected to this lifestyle will be accepted.
We are NOT dealing with:
Ř Fashion, interior design, politics
Ř Intellectual, sentimental stagy viewpoint is excluded
Ř Socialist nostalgia
Ř All kinds of trash - it means excluding all trendy shit
