I was born in the WRONG decade.

Its the same feeling as living far from your birthplace....and wishing you was home again........I feel that same way when I think of the desert.

 

I,myself, truly believe that I was a young person in the 60's in a past life. But instead of dwelling on the desire to be back in that time, I believe people like you, and me, are here to carry the legacy into current times. A lot of the issues that America is experiencing right now,(ie. this drawn-out, unsupported war, the economy,etc.) mirror the issues America faced in the 60's. So it's up to us to learn from our hippie elders and gurus and turn the tide again! Revolution can happen today ~ we can make it happen!

 

I read something somewhere on this site. It was something like, "hippies in the 60s did what they could do, but the world is still shit." So maybe its time for a new generations of hippies! We can change the world

And yeah... I'm a '91 baby too.

 

Duh, the 60's were better then our decade... I say we need to have a Renaissance.

 

Where have you all been all my life? I feel the same. LOL. This is so cool.
Love and Light,
hippy@heart

 

I've been right here waiting for something to happen.

 

Yes, FreexSpirit, I feel the same exact way and i was born in 89. So glad to find some ppl that relate!

 

God, you people are awesome. There's no one around me who feels the same way. I wish we could meet up and start this revolution, but it's a hard thing to do.....

 

Yeah, I'm like in this little town in the south of Holland, no chance of meeting ever. Unless a rich pig throws a bag of money at me so I can go to NY, hehe.

 

Wow, Holland? That's cool. I living in a shitty conservative town in new york. i wish i lived in the city though. once im 18 and out of this place, i can come find people like this and do something!

 

Don't dwell on the past, you should just enjoy the present.

Besides the 60's were not full of peace and love, J.F.K murdered, M.L.K, murdered, Race relations in the U.S were "shaky" at best and outright violent at times. The Vietnam war, 1.5 to 2 million Laotians and Cambodians, and 58,159 U.S. soldiers killed.

To say that the 60's were full of peace and love is actually in my opinion quite a slap in the face to many people indeed.

The 60's should be remembered more for these things, Not for abunch of spoiled kids standing in the mud listening to music.

Just enjoy the time you have on this Earth in this time period and try not to get stuck up in the past.

 

i dunno if i woulda survived the hippie era. fried my brain enough in the 00's.

 

yeah but everyone is too busy thinking everything is 'dumb' and that they're cool.

our generation is fucking HOPELESS

 

Behindthesun, you are SO right. Most of the kids at my high school are just shallow fucking idiots. All of us who want to make a difference need to stick together.

 

ive felt like that too. i would loved to have been old enough to have watched pink floyd with barrett and stuff.....a post war baby would have been my cup of tea, born in the late fortys....then u got the best of times for the 60s and 70s....shame were stuck in the uptight 00s instead *sigh*

 

it's funny, 50 years ago it was the cool thing to be a nice, peaceful, nonmaterialistic person
now people just fight and wallow in their material posessions

 

the time of more thought

less physical experience in your time

its built more on towards your mind now

 

time is fake, wherever we are we are still here, who cares.

 

i totally know that feeling! i was born in '93 and i feel so out of place. (not to brag, but) i'm kind of intellectual but i also love pot and acid, but acid i use strictly for spiritual purposes. i have a trip journal and before i trip i read a lot about psychology so i can be aware of how my conscious is being altered...

on a side note, my high school is totally lame. i dont like to say everyone's a 'fucking idiot," i just think 90% of people are so...let's use the word ignorant. there's the rich kids who only care about becoming businesspeople one day and they just bypass this age so they can acquire material goods. then there's what i call "Group B Stoners" which are the less intelligent kids who get high and pop xanax and vicodin just to get 'fucked,' but when you ask them about acid, they say stupid things like "my friend's brain bled so hard after he tried it and he had to drop out because of all the brain damage."
then there's the Group A Stoners, my group. The kids who blaze and occaisonally drop but also have futures. And yet, i feel like my group isn't hippy-ey like it should be. all my friends in it have a few pieces of hippy ideology, but they're not...

blazing at a sleepover is fun, but i wanna blaze in the park, a field, bathrooms, the library, and hell, why not behind a mcdonalds just to say 'fuck you' to the man. i wana trip out in town. i wana splash in a puddle just for fun. i wana listen to "box of rain" by the dead and dance. i wanna be high and not just sit there, but have intelligent conversations. i wanna make intellectual references in my conversations and also giggle. and you just can't do that this day in age.

nowadays sucks. i say we get started on a time machine. not to live back in the 60's, but to acquire an enormous amount of LSD to bring back to 2008 and share with everyone, so we can be the second-coming of hope for mankind

sorry for my rant i'm so wired

 

I feel the exact same way, sometimes I watch documentaries where everybody is getting along peacefully. its really beautiful and almost makes me tear up. i wish i could have been a part of the 60s generation too.
