i have been called a hippy for most of my life. i consider myself simply an individual, fiercely independent from any group whatsover. i do wear my hair long, listen to blues and rock, and believe in peace as far as it is possible, and love unlimited and unfettered. i love and appreciate nature in all its myriad manifestations. i especially love animals and being in a natural environment. all this being said, i also am grounded in reality. i am neither religious nor superstitious, i have zero tolerance for hard drugs or alcohol abuse. i have been alone for many years and have lost contact with all the really cool, hip people i have been fortunate enough to know. i would like very much to meet people who would be compatible or complementary to my personality. and i feel this may be just the place for that. if you think i am the kind of person you could be friends with, please drop me a line. peace, y'all.
