Describe yourself! :-)

Hello there, brothers and sisters!I want to ask you all one question now-how can you describe yourselves, being hippies?According to you, how are we different from the others, and what is our aim? You know that some time our lifestyle is kind of strange to classmates, neighbours, colleagues...for example me- some people, when they see me, look at me like I'm an ET.And when I say things like "Peace, man", there is always someone to say "Nonsense" or find the cause useless.So, in a few words, tell me what do you think about yourselves and...let's say you meet a stranger who doesn't know anything about you.What will you tell him? And if this stranger says that all you say and fight for is ridiculous, how will you react? Unfortunately, there is always something standing in opposition of faith...
V!

 

I am what i am and i do what i do ! : p

 

I'm not gonna tell a prejudiced stranger anything. It's his loss if he thinks living by the meaning of peace and love is ridicilous. Unless (s)he's really interested of course, but then it wouldn't be the stranger in your example, I guess. In that case I would tell him/her I'm not much different then they are, but just do what I think is right, just like (s)he probably does. I'm not greeting square people with 'peace man', by the way. I know lots of people can't take that seriously, and however I can, I also understand them for seeing it that way. It's one of the many hippie cliché's, and I don't feel the need to express my love for peace that way.

 

well me, i have vibes about people when i look at them, and i usually introduce myself by making them and everyone around them laugh. cause laughter is the best thing, and starting off like that makes people feel good and calm around me. i usually like to make people feel comfortable with me and so on. most people i know dont believe in what i do, but still like me because im a good guy. if people tell me what i believe in is false, ill probably just ask them how happy they actually are and how far they think theyll get in their social life shutting people down for their beliefs. but i actually have some good friends who tell me things like that, but we argue it doesnt go anywhere and then were back to being good afterwards. im fine with all of this cause im still me and i still got what i got and im the only one whose going to change that because i think its right and im too stubborn anyway

 

Yeah, I'm not about the cliches. I think that flashing somebody a peace sign is...well, it's lost the good meanings it once had. It's a hipster symbol right now, and not the good kind of hip. It's the fashion slave, media slave kind of hip.

I don't really talk in a "hippie" vernacular because...well it'd be a forced, fake thing. That's not part of my culture. I haven't made any conscious decisions to be a hippie. People still see me as one, and accuse me of being one...which is fine by me. But I'm not going out of my way to be called one.

I'm just me, trying to love people and be a better person.

 

I am a massively under-developed genious.

 

I'm humble and damn proud of it too! In my own humble and modest way, of course.

 

Oh and I'm a very nice and gracious guy. So gracious that if a stranger were to tell me that what I'm fighting for is ridiculous, why I wouldn't get mad. No sir, not me! I'd just graciously and politely give him the finger, then tell him in a very nice and friendly way to fuck off. :Angel:

 

I'm too complicated to undrestand myself, that's why i can't describe myself.

ps pls don't write with colored letters it's harder for me to read

 

I'm just me or if I really must....

I am a non smoking, non drug using, vegetarian, Taoist, Ultra Liberal, heterosexual, married, middle aged, baby boomer, Sinofile, ecologically minded, cat loving, Science Fiction and Comics fan, former Bostonian, Data Processing Security consultant.

Whew... it's alot easier just saying

I'm me.

 

i'm hitomi,i'm really strange so i don't care what the stranger will say!
i'm crazy!that's me!
somone just wrote a comment in my blog and said" you are just pretending; you are just being PEACE AND LOVE so you could be something and the truth is tou know nothig about peace and love,blablabla"
i don't care, because i know that i'm peace and love!
i'm!
i'm who i'm!

 

Hello,

I was born in New Haven, Connecticut. I lived with my four siblings, Jeb, Neil, Marvin, and Dorothy. Another younger sister, Robin, died in 1953 at the age of three from leukemia. My grandfather, Prescott, was a U.S. Senator from Connecticut.

I attended Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts where I played baseball but "mostly made my mark as a cheerleader for the teams." Following in my father's footsteps, I attended Yale University, where I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in history in 1968. As a college senior, I became a member of the secretive Skull and Bones society. I was an average student.

In May of 1968, at the height of the ongoing Vietnam War, I was accepted into the Texas Air National Guard despite there being a national waiting list of over 100,000 for the N.G. and only scoring 25 percent on the pilot's aptitude test, which was the lowest acceptable passing grade. After training, I was assigned to duty in Houston, flying Convair F-102s out of Ellington Air Force Base. I took a transfer to the Alabama Air National Guard in 1972 to work on a Republican senate campaign, and in 1974 I obtained permission to end my six-year service obligation six months early to attend Harvard Business School.

I also enjoy long walks, dogs, and war.

I hope t hat this short background gives you enough insight into my character.

 

I am a Father, Husband, Friend, Dog loving, Naturist, Ex-Conservative, Ex-Military, Peace Loving, 40 yrs old who smokes too much, loves dark full flavored beer, nice guy who keeps getting screwed, ...
But enough about me, how are you?

Peace, Love, Run Naked.

 

nevermind im not so good at wording today

 

I can be more or less an upfront even violent hippie, only because I'm secretely erroding the notion of physical damage away with every move using the ultimate hippie activist algorythm, passivity. I have lots of energy. :artist:

 

thanks for being so active and telling me about you! I see there are lots of people who are different and special just because of that. I'd be happy to know you all better!

 

Well hello to you all...i think that being a hippy is not something that you entirely choose...let me explain:you choose the close you wear, books you read, music you listen, but my humble opinion is that you don't choose "stuff" that comes right from your soul...it's something that you have always been...for example, if you say peace, you think peace, you think about loving your fellow humans, and respect them as they are,,,,it's something natural...

And being a hippy is the most natural way to express yourself...at least, that's how i think....don't bother yourself with thinking is this right and bla bla bla....JUST BE...that's the only "law"....

And next time when your psycodelic outfit puts smile on someone's face, remember we all are true brothers and sisters....

Peace&love to ya' all....

Ps:I'm here since yesterday, I'm new, and i don't know how excatly this works, but i'm quite enthusiastic about meeting new interesting people...so...

"Don't let the past remind us of what we are not know..........."

 

I cant believe it... I am you but 17 years younger... I especially connect with the "nice guy who keeps getting screwed,..." part... !!!

 

You don't like dark full flavoured beer?

 

I'm human.
