    you still need some aim just to hit the top though.

    i suppose the ultimate success in this area would be to leave one long turd across the entire length of the top.

    If you have to ask if you are you are not.... if you need to label yourself as one you miss the point..

    I for one do not call myself a hippie, however if I had to describe myself to someone I would just say hippie so I don't have to explain who i am to them, they just except that I must eat granola, wear sandals (chaco's or birkenstocks for me) listen to grateful dead, love nature, go to music festivals and smoke pot... 5/6 ain't bad so I go with it... granola is just not something I go for.

    These are of course genric interpretations of what a hippie is but it saves me time... like if I tell someone a band I like it's always "what kinda music is that" I just say hippie music or hippie bluegrass they leave it alone

    Hippies are closed minded people,
    unwilling to listen to any other thought.
    Believe whole heartedly that they are
    the righteous. They are enlightened.
    They are aware and no one else is.
    They call themselves hippies,
    If you call yourself a hippie, you are not
    A hippie

    No! It is obvious that Glen fancies himself
    a hippie, but does not want to say so,
    because saying so is not the actions of a hippie.

    Hippies have become old, and/or are self righteous,
    close minded and unwilling to listen, or even consider
    any other possibility. Stuck In a day in time, stuck in
    their ways. Hostile people today. Staid.

    Glenglen proved my point.

    No, the impressive part is the balance to do it at all.
    Far out.

    I'm glad that you have your opinion. I think that it's terrific. I hear you brother. I love different points of view. Hippies are supposed to be experimental.

    If you click on my name and go to my profile space you can click on the Gallery button and view a couple of pictures of me. Then come back and you tell me if you think that I'm a hippie or not.

    Ciao

    It is not for me to say what you are, brother. :)
    It appears you are living the life and possibly receiving
    Donations from people for your church?

    Perhaps a questionnaire for people to take will better help?

    Maybe you can add or take out of this questionnaire?
    This could be fun. :). What do you think?
    We come up with a questionnaire?
    Here are some questions I came up with.
    Please add questions or take some away? :)

    Questions for the hippies, new and old:

    Are you a vegetarian or vegan?

    Have you ever birthed a child naturall in a bath tub or
    in a tent in the woods?

    Do you believe that one percent of the population are the
    greedy rich and need to contribute more money than everyone else?

    Are you aware that you are a spiritual being and
    that you are having a human experience?

    Do you believe that the sun rules human life?

    Have you ever ridden naked, taken part in a spirit circle and gong
    Meditation which, as we all know is essential to start the summer season?

    Have you ever vacationed in an energy producing zone such as
    vortex thumping, Sedona Arizona or been to lilydale New York,
    the psychic capital of the world?

    Does burningman burn you out or balance you?

    Have you ever purchased earrings from a starving artist at a hippie market?

    Do you believe your "soul" purpose for travelling is to balance your chakra
    and express your true bohemian within?

    Do you believe the true devil in the world is the FDA
    and pharmaceutical companies?

    Do you believe all processed food is cancer causing and the
    rich man is responsible and wants to make us all ill?

    Are you more concerned with planet earth and Mayan predictions,
    Instead of contributing to the false realities of the system?

    Have you ever worked at an organic smoothie shack?

    Have you ever written your resume on a burrito wrapper to save a tree?

    Questions for the hippies, new and old:

    Are you a vegetarian or vegan? No, I go to Taco Bell and get the box deal cuz it's cheap.

    Have you ever birthed a child naturall in a bath tub or
    in a tent in the woods? No, but I've seen it done in a hospital.

    Do you believe that one percent of the population are the
    greedy rich and need to contribute more money than everyone else? Yes, greedy bastards.

    Are you aware that you are a spiritual being and
    that you are having a human experience? Sure, but sometimes it sucks.

    Do you believe that the sun rules human life? No, that's my wife's job.

    Have you ever ridden naked, taken part in a spirit circle and gong
    Meditation which, as we all know is essential to start the summer season? No, but I have ridden drunk and high and taken part in bong circles as the local district attorney drove by and waved to us.

    Have you ever vacationed in an energy producing zone such as
    vortex thumping, Sedona Arizona or been to lilydale New York,
    the psychic capital of the world? No, but I've been to Niagara Falls.

    Does burningman burn you out or balance you? I have no idea.

    Have you ever purchased earrings from a starving artist at a hippie market? Starving artist? How would I know? I did by a pipe once from a head shop, does that count?

    Do you believe your "soul" purpose for travelling is to balance your chakra
    and express your true bohemian within? Not really, my inner bohemian seems to want to take frequent naps lately.

    Do you believe the true devil in the world is the FDA
    and pharmaceutical companies? No, I don't believe in the devil.

    Do you believe all processed food is cancer causing and the
    rich man is responsible and wants to make us all ill? No, I think that cancer is caused by genetic imperfections as some people can smoke cigarettes for 90 years and never get cancer and others get it without smoking one pack in their lifetimes.

    Are you more concerned with planet earth and Mayan predictions,
    Instead of contributing to the false realities of the system? What?

    Have you ever worked at an organic smoothie shack? No, I've never even seen one.

    Have you ever written your resume on a burrito wrapper to save a tree? No, but I have planted a few. Trees that is, not burritos.

    I'm very competitive...how'd I do?

    You did great, I laughed. :)
    But, if you are very competitive, you might not be a hippie?,
    Unless you are Jerry Rubin.

    I hope more people take the questionnaire.

    Questions for the hippies, new and old:

    Are you a vegetarian or vegan?
    F no. They are all NAZIS. They make the no smoking laws and other things like that because we all have to be like they are. They are Fascists. On Haight Street back in ’67 people ate everything. Burgers, there were two fish ‘n’ chips places. I only personally know two vegetarians from back then.

    Have you ever birthed a child naturall in a bath tub or
    in a tent in the woods?
    She wanted to do a ”Natural Birth” but she would have torn, so the doctor had to cut her and stitch her up.
    It was out in the beautiful desert. Palm Springs Hospital.

    Do you believe that one percent of the population are the
    greedy rich and need to contribute more money than everyone else?
    Yes, however its .001 percent.

    Are you aware that you are a spiritual being and
    that you are having a human experience?
    The Hindi have a word. Maya. It means Illusion. Our real existence is eternal and other. We are living in Maya only for a short time.
    Yes, that could be. “This is only a TEST.”

    Do you believe that the sun rules human life?
    No, I believe that the Sumerians had very rich kings and that they paid their psychiatrists and psychologists to do a societal study project over several generations. Lots of people interviewed. They finally determined that there were 12 or 13 different types of categories of personalities. These different types of personalities mostly happened to be born at separate times of the year in time period groups. This was very sophisticated science. We couldn’t afford to pay for something like this today.
    I think that later on their very great astronomers realized that one of these types of personalities were born when the Earth was out on one side of the Sun, let’s say in the direction of Sagittarius or Scorpio, which is in the direction of the center of our galaxy is. Right in between those. Another group were born when the Earth was out on other side of the Sun from the first location. It use to be on the opposite side, behind the Sun six months ago. Like if you look up at the Sun we were behind it. Note: People don’t get that. In the location the Earth is n the direction of Taurus and Gemini, which s looking out of our galaxy into infinite space and the thinner part of the galaxy.
    I think that maybe latter on they figured out the right and opposite left sides of the Sun. The direction were Earth is ahead of the Sun as we spin around the center of the galaxy and then the opposite side were the Sun is ahead of the Earth and the Earth s facing other stars. These directions in the Universe could actually make a difference in pre-birth childhood development. There were originally 13 constellation signs of the zodiac.
    In short, I feel that it could never had been the signs first and the human personalities, Humans are human centric. It would have had to have been humans first and the stars second.
    So, to answer your question, no, the sun does NOT rule human life. However, human prenatal development my very well be influenced by the position of the Earth and its backdrop. Where it is facing in the Universe.

    Have you ever ridden naked, taken part in a spirit circle and going
    Meditation which, as we all know is essential to start the summer season?
    I go naked almost all of the time in the house and sometimes out in nature. Especially swimming.
    And no.

    Have you ever vacationed in an energy producing zone such as
    vortex thumping, Sedona Arizona or been to lilydale New York,
    the psychic capital of the world?
    Sedona. We took the back-country “Pink Jeep” tour which included a vortex location. I lived at Tahquitz canyon falls for about four months back in ’73.
    You take a look and tell me if it counts. Much energy.

    [​IMG] That's not me.

    Does burningman burn you out or balance you?
    Never been to Burningman. But, I do know one of the head guys that started that Art Project group that started Burningman. Last time that I saw him he wanted me to find him a farmer who would let him build a full size catapult so that they could collect a hundred old T.V.s send them flying and do a skeet shoot with shotguns and film the whole thing. Vodka balances me.

    Have you ever purchased earrings from a starving artist at a hippie market?
    I bought a woven hippie bracelet from a hippie girl and her man, in Tempi, Az. They said that they were starving. I make earrings, myself.
