Man just dont go... Its your choice and anyone can do what they want in my eyes, but I just dont want you to go at all dude. You were there with me when I had the best days of my life at the gatherings, with the beautiful people I met and will meet again. I cant look at the photos without breaking into tears dude... remember when everyone was sleeping and we walked barefoot through the forest?? half past three in the morning it was, i remember, I took loads of pictures of the lake with the mist on, and pictures of us two with everyone smoking the good stuff. Ide do anything so that you wouldnt go man, seriously, but it isnt fair on you. Remember our time in high school dude? when we used to finish work in Geography so that we could arse about drawing stupid pictures?? or when we all used to gather at dinner times and share jokes and stuff? All Ime saying is think about the people your'e leaving behind man, we all love you dude, and we dont want you to go...do you think ide be reduced to tears if I didnt mean all of this?? Take care man, may the peace vibes be with you even when you are learning to shoot someone...remember the gatherings, and what you learned about my kind... At the end of the day its your choice dude, just take care,remember the nights we spent together getting high and talking about chicks, remember everything and everyone............ Peace out man ............and remember that hippy you knew in high school for all those years. when you get back ill be waiting friend
ll give it a realy big think over tonight and then ill decide because theres 2 paths for me to choose with in 9 days im having tears of saddness role down my cheeks and ill miss all the laughs i had with darren and other mates singing songs i used to sing out of my head or ass lol..
Give it a good think... you got the Army path with strange people who just wanna be shipped out to iraq... Or the long and beautifull road with me, gatherings, spliffs, road trips.... "Got my questionnaire baby You know ime heading off to war Got my questionnaire baby Yeah ime heading off to war I wanna do some fighting Dont wanna break no kind of law" (Uncle Sams Blues) thats exactly what the Army is dude, its your choice, its your life man...
The Brightest Wolf I Know All these tearsFor all the yearsIve known you manJust hold my handWe'll float on sandAnd smoke our wayTo wonderlandIf you wanna goIts your choice you knowBut if you stayYou save the dayFor meFor youYour family tooJust think what youWill leave behindAll these peopleReal and kind (By Daron Greenhough)

Everyone I ever met who spent time in the army came out the other side really fucked up. If you've decided not to go, you just made the best decision of your life. Killing people is no career for a hippy.
