You're Not A Real Hippy

This is a photoshop, right?

I laffed so hard.

It's passed your bedtime young pup. Git!

 

Actual photograph. Around 1981, I think.

 

You should read Ulysses. It's right up your alley.

 

I was cleaning out the stock room in the corner store that I worked in one day, and I found a pack of ZigZags that were 30cms long.

Is that joint made from large papes or small ones?

I'm as curious as a cat.

 

It was made with 2 ounces of pot and the paper that came with the Cheech & Chong Big Bamboo album.

 

How is it that you look so young?

 

I was around 27 or 28 when the pics were taken.

 

Is it understandable? I like HST, his use of words blows my mind.

 

How stoned did you get with that thing? OOOO Led Zeppelin... If I could find one of those old albums with the paper and it didn't cost a lot I would do that.

 

uhm friend on left is hot.

you aren't too bad yourself

short shorts guy is cute but awkward.

 

Barely. It's half readable. It's worth an attempt, for sure.

 

I was totally going to say something like that.

The guy on the left reminds me of Hyde from That 70s Show.

 

you DO love HST, i know it!

and for good reason.

i really want to be like him and just do ridiculous shit all the time, but i am waiting till the apex of my insanity.

 

yes, yes, and yes.

i was going to say that but didn't.

 

That should be anytime now.

 

I can go to the library and browse it, but I lost Flashbacks by Leary and I owe the library ($80 last year) probably well over $100... I will never pay that since I don't know what the hell happened to it, I bet some ass "friend" stole it. Or I tried reading it in class and was too high to remember to take it home. I may never know what happened to that thick, silver book.

 

Oh yeah he is my man, I like guns but I never get to shoot stuff, I stay up a lot just to tweak my mind more and more. In fact, before I ever heard of Hunter I wanted to do LSD just to make myself a little bit more insane, like I've always known(seriously since I was little) that I'm fucking insane, but I want to not be tetering on the edge, I need to slide down the cliff to a root a few yards down.... Does that make any sense?

 

Umm, Joyce is like HST - except he's Irish and from a totally different era without society's tolerance of recreational drug use.

I mean, it's sort of that kind of out there thinking when you read it. It takes you another place if that's what you're looking for in the read.

I think HST is okay. But I like Joyce much more. You may want to start with Dubliners. That's a good book to get hooked on if you're interested in reading Joyce.

 

Ok ok I need the full name of this person and a few pieces of work to save or else I will never remember a thing about it and will stumble on it in 20 or some odd years.
