Why are YOU a member of hipforums?

To answer the original question, something from the great Jimi: (damn that paste thing)



Jimi Hendrix - Up From The Skies Lyrics

I just want to talk to you.
won't uh, do you no harm,
I just want to know about your different lives,
on this here people farm.

I heard some of you got your families,
living in cages tall & cold,
And some just stay there and dust away,
past the age of old.
Is this true?
Please let me talk to you.

I just wanna know about, the rooms behind your minds,
Do I see a vacuum there, or am I going blind?
Or is it just remains from vibrations and echoes long ago,
Things like 'Love the World' and 'Let your fancy flow',
Is this true?
Please let me talk to you.
Let me talk to you.

I have lived here before, the days of ice,
And of course this is why I'm so concerned,
And I come back to find the stars misplaced
and the smell of a world that has burned.
The smell of a world that has burned.
Well, maybe, maybe it's just a change of climate.
I can dig it, I can dig it baby,
I just want to see.

So where do I purchase my ticket,
I would just like to have a ringside seat,
I want to know about the new Mother Earth,
I want to hear and see everything,
I want to hear and see everything,
I want to hear and see everything.

Aw, shucks,
If my daddy could see me now.

 

I found this place out of boredom. A month before I came here I had gotten caught with marijuana in school and expelled, and instead of being able to hang out with people over summer break, I had to stay home....so I just came here whenever I was inside

And now..I am being homeschooled, and I live too far away to be able to hang out with anybody. So whenever I'm not chilling with Nature or playing guitar or reading and I feel the need for outside communication, I come here.

I'm very glad I got caught with marijuana....not just because I love many of the people here, but I would be just another lost soul getting stoned and skateboarding and working at McDonald's everyday. Now I have plans for college and I get to move out over a year before I initially intended to.

 

open, free speech with people of variety.

 

I feel in a hole one day and there was this laptop on the bottom. The Hip Forum was on, I tried to shut off the computer but it jest keep saying HipHipHippy, and now I'm here. Gee, I could of ohave a V-8 and I'm lucky to have a stright six.

 

Hmm, i pretty much found this place when i was bored and searching on the net aswell too i suppose, cant really remember anymore.

 

i think i found this place cos i wass searching for stuff..its really interesting and funny to read the posts
the only annoying thing is im in australia and so i never get responses to my posts because youd all be on at different times to me!!

 

I went on a demo in London to protest the state visit of George W Bush to the UK last November. Afterwards I searched the internet for details and pictures of the event and came across the UK community hipforum delegation that went talking about it. I suppose I liked what they were saying so much that I hung around lurking for a week or two before joining in ... what lovely people they are ... I've made some real-life lifelong friends from this site. I stay for the scintillating political debate and often hilarious randomness...

 

Bought a PC and immediately went looking for people from our old commune, which led us here.
I started reading and felt welcome.

I believe we are led to where we need to be for numerous reasons.

I joined because I appreciated what Skip's vision is and wanted to support that.

I have made some major changes in my life and one of those is a true belief that our foremost reason for being here is to help when and where we can, I know I don't have much in the ways of material things to share, and thats not what is important, its the parts of me that I can share that mean the most.

I have alot of love for the people here and enjoy giving that.
And it gives my life true meaning when I can help them....smile, feel better about something, gather information...etc.

The people here give me a mountain of ...hope, laughs, tears, frustration, smiles, insight, love, things to think about, a different perspective, another view, understanding...the list goes on.

I have limited physical contact with the world right now but this has opened up a whole new world for me.
Thanks to everyone here,
Love,
teepi

ps, about the hippy stuff....I guess some of this would apply???
I don't try to be 'hip', ...sometimes it just works out that way.....

 

It's fun.
