Struggling with destiny up on a ledge...

Howdee Doo

My name is Shanna. I'm 22 years old, I study conservation biology and animal behavior at Acadia University in Wolfville Nova Scotia. After biology my passion is music. I love Phish, I cried twice when they broke up. I also dig Zeppelin a whole lot.

Well, This is me:


I guess one thing that bothers me about "hippies" these days is that "hip" increasingly stands for hypocrite. I mean, the mainstream has absorbed all of the hippy style but none of the hippie substance.

The other day I was harassing my pal because he was needlessly wasting energy by using the elevator not the stairs leaving his apartment. He responded by saying, quite genuinely, "Come on, you know I'm an environmentalist. I wear sandals and dreads". Oh my.

I'm hoping for some good chats and perhaps to make a few pals.

Sharing in the Weekapaug Groove,

Its nice to meet u Shanna, Im Nina! Ur beautiful by the way, sheeesh! The last pic kinda reminds me of Tori Amos My life is music as well- singer/songwriter. And I do know what u mean, EXACTLY what u mean.. Thats why I love to spread awareness about the hippie style as a LIFEstyle, not just another style.. I woulda gave ur friend crap too. lol Anytime u wanna talk or chat feel free to hit me up! Luvs and peace and life <3 <3 Miss Nina <3

 

aww thank you Nina, you sound like a really sweet girl.
I too hate that "hippie" has become more of a fashion statement than a political one.
It seems like being hippie in modern terms simply means meeting three requirements
#1 - Smoke pot
#2 - Wear hemp
#3 - Love trees.
I'm glad to find someone who sees it more my way!

~I remember back in the day when music folk had alot to say. Now I sit, hope and pray someone would come along and show us the way~
