woke up feelin kinda mean...I guess

It's not even ten o'clock in the morning and someone is knocking at my door. That's no problem. It's probably someone that wants to get me stoned or something, so I assume, and therefore I don't mind momentarily diverting my attention from the internet, searching for clothes to put on, because I'm really not a redneck...just play one on tv, and getting dressed, having not even yet brushed my teeth today, just to answer the door and find out it's a stranger proclaiming that " we are here to deliver a spiritual message..." After telling them how rude it was for them to disturb my peaceful morning, the door shut seemingly by itself, before they could even finish apologizing.

Then I felt guilty like I was a bad hippey for not being spiritual. It's just that to me, organized spirituality, a.k.a. churches, are just another form of business, a business that doesn't even pay taxes. So I feel like they should take their business solicitation elsewhere.

Am I a bad hippey?

 

~~~nope~~~

 

Thanks Dustinthewind. Now I can go to tonight's drum circle with a clear conscience.

I had posted this story already over in a the christianity forum, I think it was perhaps the only time I've ever even stepped in there, but here was an experience I had that was similar...


the last time jehova's witnesses came to my door, I ran out the door right past them nekid. I was taking a shower and when I got out realized that my sun roof was down and it had started pouring rain. so, i ran down the stairs and out the door as they were about to ring the door bell. when I got back to the front steps, I said, may I help you - and they both looked at me in my birthday suit and said - we doubt you're interested.

true story

 

These were older, Spanish looking, and sounding ladies. I don't know if they were Jehovah's or not. The fact that they were women, made me feel bad about the way I'd acted. I know I kinda left that part out before.

Besides, women or men, I believe we should all treat each other with respect. Sometimes the hippy in me is just asleep at the wheel. What do expect for a hippy?

BTW-DHS I've always wanted to do that....YOU ROCK!!

 

You shouldnt feel bad or anything, cause the way i look at it if i was into that my ass would be at church. I hate when people come do my door about stuff like that, especailly in the morning.

 

My doorbell woke me up one morning. I jumped out of bed and, while walking to the front door, caught a glimpse of my reflection. Messy hair, smeared makeup, looked like I had had a rough night. Squinted while opening the door to bright sunlight and two 20-something mormons, a male and a female. After their eyes had focused on me and realized that they had woken me up--"Oh we're so sorry!" They seemed quite embarassed. I just kinda chuckled, "It's allright." and closed the door. It's also happened with my neighbor (strange...he's mormon too).

 

Awww shucks...I guess there really are other people like me. Thanks everyone for letting me know that I'm not a hypocrite.

Now I'm going to go out to the beach and drum up the moon tonight, like a good hippy should.

 

You could have at least offered them a beer or a bong hit.

 

I usually invite them in for some roofie laden tea...........the rest is XXX
