Do you consider yourself a hippie?

I dreaded my pubic hair. Does that make me a hippie?

 

Pics Or It Didn't Happen...

This is not the appropriate section of the forum to post such crude, dirty, crab infested material.

Cheers BSR.

 

Used to be one kinda and identify as one definitely. Anymore, no

 

Can I be a hippie at heart? I don't have white-people dreads or wear baggy parachute pants, and everyone around here who calls themselves a hippie has that... but I am a hippie at heart.

 

hip·pie
ˈhipē/
noun

synonyms: flower child, Bohemian, beatnik, long-hair, free spirit, nonconformist, dropout.


So ..... no hippie, sorry.

 

I'm definitely a disillusioned fake hippy
Only attend fake drum circles, only take fake LSD, only partake in fake Activism marches, only listen to fake hippy music :afro:

 

As a child of the 60's - I look back at the time, the people the mood and the examples I have, of 'first hand' knowledge of.. Free Love/Sex, Groovy clothes, FAB tunes, Smoking the essence of Peace and all was Bright and Beautiful ... well no not really
Sure Sex was attainable - isn't it for all adventurous Youth?
Clothes were what you could mish/mash together and only those who could afford the 'gear' with either jobs or generosity of status looked 'cool'
Music was indeed FAB mind - though youth culture is always going to be of it's time and requirement - Rebellious, Smoking like alcohol good if the stuff is pure and in moderation and as for Peace !!!!
This is where I have a alignment - for the Protest of student/youth was very real, there was indeed 'fighting in the streets - 'Discrimination/Racism/Bigotry, Victimisation/stereotyping/Social phobias were all real issues much more than today - and communication of causes and injustice limited (Pre twitter, FB, WWW etc,) Authorities had an accepted allowance to distribute on the field justice with little accountability
I continue to March, attune myself to spiritual connection - educate to children/grandchildren not only my beliefs, but on the reasons for them - for the future is what they will inherit
In my employment, when standing on principle for right, someone said to me "My God Billy - you're a right Hippie!" - I replied "Thanks for that"
Standing up with conviction of conscience for those with no voice and in need - looking at the bigger environmental picture and making complaint, - not going with the crowd - being that Fool on the Hill = lone but true to self = I am what I am

 

I think it makes you a religious Jew :2thumbsup:

 

Long hair..... I still get called that one.

 

What to think about all those people in Bohemia

 

I consider myself a little weird.

 

That's quite normal

 

But, I don't want to be normal.....

 

Everyone knows how I feel about labels. FUCK LABELS.
But in this case, if I wanna say I'm a hippy, I will.
If I wanna say I ain't a hippy, I will.

And the same for each and everyone of you.
It's a free country. We'll do whatever the hell we want.

 

you should have been here a few years ago.

well, i'm still not entirely convinced that you weren't..

 

Im a hippie. I wanna be labeled! Im a fuckin dirty smelly lazy stoned mofo. Tho when ppl ask I just tell em im a freak. like the Furry Freak Brothers. im the 5th bruva!!

 

why, what was it like a few years ago?

 

exactly the same except the big fish were more mysterious

 

its an external thing. its a harmless thing. its an eye of the beholder thing. not a thing for myself to consider nae or yea.

i don't look like hippies were classicly supposed to apear in the mythose media created about the concept.

but i do consider the world we have to live in more important then popular opinions about myself. and it is this i consider what distinguished the real hippies from kids who just wanted to party and get high.

i feel somewhat the same way about furry, which i also relate to in a sense. a sense of community with an affinity for non-human life forms, which for me is about spirit and environment, though many there, just see it as a vehicle for commeradery, which is not a bad thing either. just, you know, something i see as more then that.

so you know, hip is just this label, that i see myself as being about what i saw it as origeonally being about. i've been labeled for my political views and so on.

so i really have no yes or no on that. i'm just who i am, and all these labels can fall where they may.
