It's been a while since I frequented this forum, spent way too much on here a while back, now I just spend most of my time in the woods. Now I won't start ramblin' about how f*cked up this country has become due to the plunder of our "leaders", how we're screwed 'cause we don't produce anything real in this country any more, my mind expanding experiences with recreational chemistry, the benefits of Buddhism, or how cool it would be if we could all get along, develop renewable energy sources, eat organic foods, and live with less so that collectively we're left with more--nope, none of that BS (though it's all good). Nope, the purpose of this forum is for me to introduce myself, *right?*, so here goes... I'm in my early mid 40's, which is a tad young to consider myself a true "hippie", though the spirit is there, and the mind is willing... ...got a cool wife (she's the hippie), couple kids, and, yeah, I'm edjumacated with a "real" job, how 'bout that? Yeah, I'm the f*ckin' American wet dream, but not quite in the traditional sense, mind you... ...it's not about the money cuz you can't take it with you... ...diamonds are evil... ...he who dies with the most grins wins... ...guns don't kill people, republicans with guns do... ...is it hot today or is it just me...wait a minute, that's always... ...it's not about "success" or "status" cuz that's subjective, chase someone else's dream and that's what your left with, the low spark of high heeled boys... ...I landscape my place with weeds, keeping the stuff I like, and yanking the stuff I don't (when I have the ambition, which is rare, it's mostly just weeds)... ...I'd rather live in a shanty in a huge forest than a mcmansion on a postage stamp... ...I used to be vegetarian, but now I eat meat, I mean tofu's good and all, but it doesn't cut it in the long run... ...I used to drop acid, but now I smoke weed, and once in a while I do 'shrooms. I don't have the free time anymore to mess with that hard core sh*t any more, and even if I did, I can't find it around, 'cept at music festivals... ...I work out excessively, mostly outside, cuz the body is the temple of the soul, and you gotta build that temple... ...I drink too much beer, micro brews mostly, love that IPA--it's good for your colon... ...I receive way too much spam about ED and porn on the internet, what's up with that? My sh*t works just fine, thank you... OK, enough about me, what's shakin'?
