Name: { echo } Email:musepuppet@yahoo.com Northern Ontario, Canada Date: Tuesday, April 20, 1999 at 00:03:06 Message: "I'm a hippie" "I think I'm a hippie" "I want to be a hippie when I grow up" Sound familiar? I think the reason most of us are posting on this site
is in order to reach out and communicate with other people who perhaps
share some of our ideas about what's important, the hippie 'ideals' perhaps.
(if we could ever agree on what they were! ;)
Anyway, I suppose it is time for my own profile of sorts, right? At
the age of eighteen, I live in a rather close-minded society who look down
on me me because I wear my hair in natty dreadlocks, don't shave or wear
make-up, and choose to voice my opinions even if they don't always agree
with what the majority would agree to be 'right'. My sarcastic sense of
humour and sometimes oddball way of looking at life help me to get past
the negativity and I manage to have a smile on my face at the end of most
days. When I'm not counting the stars, or watching to clouds form into
mythical animals, I can be found lost in my thoughs, perhaps spilling them
out into one of my many notebooks, or attempting to capture them in music.
I'll admit that I spend too much time at my computer, but hey, we all have
our vices, right?

My name is Stephanie and I am a 16yr. old hippie or at least thats what all the hicks and preps call me at school. Though they missinterpret the true meaning of a "HIPPIE" they often stereotype it as "drug users" and rock and roll fans and other stuff yet they dont understand what a real hippie is the meaning of "HIPPIE" means that it is someone who doesnt conform to societys standards and advocates liberal attitude and lifestyle. Personally I think that a "HIPPIE" is is: person that believes in his/her self is their own person and are happy with themselves as a whole outside as well as in.

Name: Perception Location: Miami, FlDate: Saturday, April 17, 1999 at 11:42:47 Message:What is wrong with all you people?! Why do you keep calling yourself hippies? Just because you listen to some kind of music or dress a certain way, doesn't mean you're a hippy. If you ask me half the people here are posers. I used to be like that. Dress like a hippy...bla bla bla. Then I thought about it and it was so stupid. Of course I would have liked to be in the 60's. But it's over. When I was like that you tend to be stuck in a time warp. Get over it. You can be a "hippy" without dressing like one or whatever "hippies" do. I was reading a lot of the profiles... and I keep reading how these so-called hippies didn't watch Dawson's Creek. What the censored does a show have to do with being a hippy. Grow up. I'm not really this bitchy. But dude, I got pissed after reading these profiles. You people need to look up hippy in a dictionary and find out what it REALLY means. Yeah, my favorite band is The Doors. So what? I don't go around telling people, "I'm a hippy, I'm so cool, I do drugs." Please. There is s much more to being a hippy. It's a way of thinking, a way of life. Not the way you dress. Just look at yourself from a different point of view, and you'll see how stupid you're acting. I was reading this profile on a little girl who said she wanted to be a hippy when she grew up. Hello? It's not a career people. Do your own thing. Then she wanted tips on what to wear. Whatever,man.

A hippy is so not what you are on the outside, it's the inside. A hippy is someone who cares about mother earth, and her creatures. It is someone who believes in peace for everyone, no matter where they are from, and stands up for what they believe in. Okay, so in the '60s they wore they're tye-dyes, and smoked they're dak, but the REAL hippies were the ones who cared about mother earth. saying you're a hippy because of what you wear is a label, and hippies don't give a censored about what clothes they're wearing,ect.

Actually, (and I know that this has already been said), the state of a true hippie is determined by philosophy and a way of thinking. And, as far as I'm concerned, love and peace are all you need. I'm not going to sit back and look on. I'm fifteen, a female in an a small, narrow-minded town that would like to forget me, just as I would like to forget it. But in reality, we all have that small circuit of hypocrite in us. I am a hypocrite. Everyone is. But by uniting, I feel, we will have no need for labels. There is so much we can accomplish, because as "hippies," we have the spirits that will bring us together and change the world. Quite a mouthful and that is just how I feel about hippiedom. I listen to the Who, Hendrix, janis joplin, the Doors, the Beatles, and especially John lennon. That's enough for that list, we all know what we listen to. My favorite book is the Bell Jar, by Sylvia Plath. My favorite movie is the Rocky Horror Picture Show. I love monty python and am a humanist.

I can't understand why the americans allow their children to have weapons but don't give them any beer until 21 ! Here you can legally get beer when you're 16 and nobody cares when you're younger. I think weapons should be forbidden, not harmless drugs like weed - or did anyone of you hear that someone died as a result of weed consumption ? OK - I'll have to live with this when i'm going to the USA for my schoolyear but i would never accept it ! What's going on in politician's heads when they advert with their death penalty successes ?? That's against the human rights and doesn't fit into a western country like the USA.

USA Date: Saturday, April 10, 1999 at 13:12:26 Message:I was a hippie in the 60s/70s and finally got around to writing it down. :) I made a web page out of it. My web page describes my personal experiences and where they lead me. This is my story. I would like to share it with anyone interseted. From Woodstock to nature to herbology to vegetarianism to the sprit ..... I sincerely feel the hippie movement lead me to all these wondeful things I discovered and uncovered for my life. Hope you enjoy it! Here is a little piece of it: "When I was a teen I was growing up just like everyone else in the late 50's.....boring. Then the hippie movement hit. I found myself drawn to the music of the Beatles, George Harrison and later on, Bob Dyaln, Leonard Cohen, Donovan, Cosby, Stills, Nash and Young, The Moody Blues along with others that were either mellow, thoughtful & intelligent, or spiritual. I did not find myself too attracted to the heavier music, though maybe a little. ...I had a friend who said, "Hey, there is going to be this really far out concert at Woodstock (yes, the original one). Let's get your father to drive us there." I thought he would never do it and was afraid to ask. Oddly enough, he agreed ...So one illusion about hippies is that they are uneducated or downright stupid. This is what one person, somewhat of a friend, recently told me. I was there. She can't tell me what hippies were into when she is 10+ years younger than I am. LOL ....I told her that I went to college and almost everyone who attended my college were hippies too. Her mouth dropped open, hit the ground and stayed there a minute. She next became speechless. hehe I must admit, I took great joy in telling it to her like it was. :) " Hope this wasn't too much to post or for you to read. I am just so excited about my new web page! Thanks. (Write me!) <3 Parijata2@aol.com Name: Taylor Goforth Email:amgoforth@teleplex.net Location: Morganton, N.C. U.S.A.

This may be kind of a non sequiter and probably this is not even the right page for my ramblings, but anyway. I've been thinking lately. Am I the only one who is just a tiny bit bothered by the fact that now more than ever we are constantly being bombarded by capitalism? Everything is buy this, buy that, even when you are in a situation that is supposedly supporting the opposite. Case in point- About a month ago I went to a show called RENT. Probably everyone's heard of it, but the basic message is "No day but today" and it's pretty much an anti-estamblishment musical. At intermission and after the show, I walk out, feeling energized and ready to fight for freedom, and the next thing I see is a huge stand selling merchandise at outrageous prices. The hypocrisy absolutely kills me.

It is not about music, pot, or the disregard for material things. It is about LOVE and the true concern for all human beings. there isnt a "way of life" you can see at a concert..beleive me i have toured quite a bit, and have met many loving people who are truly hippies. But for the most part what you think you see isnt all it is cracked up to be. What i feel a person needs to do to consider themeselves a hippy is to look around them and see what is truly wrong in their immediate surrounding, and make a concise effort to change it. There was a time when i thought puffin down on nugs, and listening to Jerry jam was all it was about, until a kind hippy opened my eyes to the real truth..the love of it all. He didnt puff, do drugs or even like music all that much. But he made a difference by trying to open up peoples awareness to certain causes he felt needed to be addressed. it would be silly to say that music doesnt play a major part in being a hippy because it fills your soul with emotion. but to be a true hippy is to love all people and truly want to change the world for good.

I think that I first went on the path of the hippy on August 9,1997. This was the night when I went to my first concert. It was Phish, and it was at Alpine Valley. I really didn't think of Phish as a hippie band until that night when I was introduced to the way of living of some of the coolest people. I didn't know what to expect of the concert, but I soon found out. When we entered the parking lot, all I could see was total tie-dye, long hair, and dreadlocks. I was surprised and at first I was scared of the people, but that night, I believe I became a hippie. I now wear almost all tie-dye cloths and hemp necklaces. I enjoy music. I play the drums and guitar. I listen to a lot of music but mostly the Dead, Bob marley, Jimi Hendrix,Tom Petty, Dave Matthews, Bob Dylan, Zeppelin and Phish. People consider me to be weird,and I like that. I call my self a prep school hippie. My future plans are to live in a bus, be a musician, and toke up all day.

I do not consider myself a 'Hippie', though I know there are some that do. Classifying ourselves is just another form of segregation, and isn't that what we are trying to abolish? I cannot sit at a computer and bash technology at the same time, or denounce God with blasphemy while portraying myself as 'one with God'. Hypocrites are everywhere, and there is an ounce of hypocrite in all of us, but the hope comes from the effort to change and release that negative energy that we were raised into feeling.

I'm surprised because inspite of their false exterior, their inner child is still there, the one that dodged the draft, and walked to woodstock, only to turn around and go back for fear of getting an ass kicking from their parents, the one that I saw and was influenced by and even taught by.

I too write poetry, and go on long camping trips. I constantly have this feeling inside me that wants to jump out and change the world.

I'm not saying you won't catch me with a stamp on my tongue, or munchin on some shrooms, and, of course sparking up a fat doobie whenever I can, but that's not what being a hippie's about, it's an incentive. =) However, I do believe marijuana should be legal, think about it, it's the only common ground we have.

I laughed, I cried, and I got cold chills. I was at the Deercreek PHISH show last summer tour, and I had an revelation, actually I just figured something out. It started as a good show, usual thing, score some nugs, walk around, watch everyone scrammble to get their tents up so they can get busy making money for the next show. What was this, a family gathering or another upshoot of corporate mauradering. I was walking around with my groovy sister, LaLynn, and we ran into an old friend of Dr. Timothy Leary....He had a lot to say, and we just looked at each other as we strollled down shakedown.....our brothers and sisters are working for Guiness, Bass, Budweiser, Coors, and any other corporation that profits from tours. Phish has become another Wal-Mart for our generation. pseudo-hippys stroll around looking at my bros like freaks. They drive daddys car on tour while using mamas credit card.....I was evolving, I was changing, I was reaching the new plane. That was it...just like introductory college corses, we all are screened out by evolution. Some become rightious, some assimilate into this damaging dangerous culture, some revolt, some reform...some are recruited by the opposing political organization, who run the federal government and gradualy are disenfranchising my family by imprisoning them under unconstitutional laws. The facts are this....hemp is, was, and can be used for many things. Clothing, fuel, paper, and medicine. Any one who recieves a pleasurable or enjoyable feeling or sensation from marijuana suffers from a degenerative disorder that is caused by free radicles and UV-B radiation from the sun with increased sensitivity due to recent (100,000 years) and increasingly dangerous solar flares. This disorder is known as ENSR...you can look it up under Drugs back in Hippyland under the article published by dr. Alan Gordon titled...Marijuana is Legal...check out his defence and start medicating yourself, responsibly.... Don't abuse the herb.....Over use is equal to overdosing on any medication, except no-one has ever been known to die due to marijuana overexposure. In fact, you can regain that high feeling that you used to have "back in the day" I am a 26 year old free lance computer hippy who lives on a small farm in central Utah....I am all about love and peace and freeing my people.

I'm almost 28 years old. March 16th 1990 is the date I credit with being the "Birth" of my "Hippiness." (First Dead show... How 'bout that Scarlet->Estimated!) I guess people had Called me a hippy before that, but I had no idea what they were talking about. I basically hated myself before that time, Total Low Self Esteem case. Suicidal tendencies and the whole bit. Basically I was just a pot-smoking, acid eating, Pink Floyd/Metallica listening to, depressed, Life Hating, long hair wishin' I had, miserable, drunk all the time, pissed of at my parents (and everybody else), worthless sack of Nuthin' guy. I was real fun to be around. Then on that Fateful Day I was dosed at school and the Dead were in town. All I knew by the end of that day was that I had to go. So I did. Man, did I get a Wonderful slap in the face: LIFE ROCKS!!! I took many moons passing for me to get better, but I have changed 180 degrees. (Most days.) Thanks to Jerry and Co. and the whole scene that surrounds them Today life is Wonderful. I am leading a succesful (by MY terms) life. I am happy, joyous and free the vast majority of the time. I don't LOOK like a hippy. To me: It DOESN'T MATTER what you wear, just as long as you are THERE, period. I don't do drugs anymore, either. It got to the point that they didn't show me anything new, and basically just hindered my Growth. Not to mention the fact that They Controlled Me, not the other way around. I had to get Serious help for that problem, and I did. The best decision I've ever made... The only thing that 'rules' me now is the Higher Power which I choose to call God (for simplicity's sake, really.) The blessings I have received make me happier (and HIPPIER!!) than I ever could have Imagined. Morning Dew's NEVER sounded so fine... Hey! I'd love to hear from ALL OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm an 18 year old Wiccan hippie chick.. who can't stand living in a such a shallow time where magazines influence what people wear, act, and live. I have reddish brown hair about 7 inches past my sholder, brown eyes and am incapable of wearing anything that's not polyester. I can't understand modern day trends and wonder if I'm the only one. Drop me a note on your thoughts of this if you have any comments or just to talk.. i'm always looking for people that have sensible taste in music (Classic Aerosmith, GD, Santana, Joplin, Tom Petty, etc.)and an open mind to teach and learn from..

I have been reading all of the hippie profiles. I felt as if since I am among like wise souls I would submit my own. Well I feel as many of you out there do that it is not right to label someone. If you must however be labeled I consider being labeled a hippie is a compliment. Not some durogitory remark.I have met some etremely nice people who believe that it is o.k. to hug a stranger, love mother earth, and think of other species rather than our own (we humans tend to feel we are superior)-want peace and to make a difference in this world! I love for people to incorporate these values in to thier lives every day! If this is why people have called me a hippie - because I do believe in everything I said and practice them every chance I get-all I can say is...thanx man!! I am a 27 yr. old woman- I feel much like a teenager still- act like one and I've been told still look as young as one-I am a petite blonde with hazel eyes.I am married happily for almost four years.I have always since I was very little (When I say little I'm talking only 4yrs.old, people) in my opinion been an open minded, loving, compassionate person of all of God's creatures. I usually don't do much that would be considered among the norm. I'm not comfortable with it. That to me would be limiting your life experiences and the level of depth to your soul.That is what makes a person to me. How much have they experienced? How open is your mind? Suddenly Jimi Henderix's song Are You Experienced comes to mind. I beieve that marijuana should be legalized-not just so I am free to smoke it. Because I believe it has strong medicinal properties and the government doesn't want us to use it for this pupose because then we would have a lesser need to buy what they have synthesized, priced way too high and can eventually become dependant on. I am a vegan, I love to write, read, listen to music, play with my 2 cats, be with my friends,cuddle with my husband and watch River Phoenix movies ( I consider River THE BEST because his ethics, values and morals about mother earth and it's inhabitants ran high and deep.Judge him for the way he died if you must.To do so would mean to forget what River was REALLY about.) I do love music from th 60s (like The Doors, The Beatles, Janis Joplin,and so many others) the clothes and everything that went with it.The 60s is a period in time I can most relate to. It's great to know that there are brothers and sisters out there keeping what was good and pure about the 60s alive as best we can in these times. after all-wanting to make a dfference in this world along with a loving compassionate attitude towards all living things is always a classic life style to be living! My e-mail is always open to those who want to get to know eachother.So e-mail me at skyejelleybean@webtv.net Peace and Love everyone!!!

I've recently decided to be optimistic for probably the strangest reason: I saw these Maxwell House commercials and they said "act your shoe size, go barefoot more often, and make everyday 'good to the last drop'."

I'm living in Va currently but my heart and birthplace is a small town outside of Ashville, NC. I am a southern boy and I started to learn how to pick bluegrass as a kid. My dad tuaght me but around the same time he turned me on to the Dead. I have a guitar, banjo, and mandolin that get a kick out of playing me. Other than nature, that is the love of my life. I was taught as a kid to love people and to respect nature more than anything else. So I do. On this farm we are completely self supporting. We live by mother earth's grace. Other than music my hobbies are reading and building banjos. I read a lot of JRR Tolkien and Thoreau. I am an earth's rights activist. I tried to go to sKool and get a degree in fish and wildlife management but it didnt work out. so now i sit on the old front porch, picking bluegrass and Dead tunes, and watch my dogs and crops grow.(and my friend Sunshine's baby, Ariel. she's 4 months yesterday) drop me a line.

Name: Jacquelyn Email:aurora.kist@gurlmail.com NY USA Date: Friday, March 19, 1999 at 18:34:48 Message:I've always thought that being a hippie meant more then wearing huge bell bottoms and doing drugs. I am 13 years old, with a father who is in the N.R.A (National Rifle Association), and a fervert supporter of the Republican Political party. My whole life I have tried to shut my eyes to his ignorant prejudice towards nearly (everyone different from him), but it's been impossible. I've always been strong willed which isn't necessarily always a good thing. I wouldn't consider myself to be a "true" hippie, because I was not alive in the 60's and all I know is what I've seen and felt. Still, I relate with the belief that everyone is equal, despite the influence of my father. War is the most horrible thing possible, "obscene" as my English teacher put it. Killing people who have wives that love them, little girls at home who miss their daddy, and run to their mailbox each day anxiously every day, looking to see if a letter has come. All because of the need to be number one. Perhaps World War 2 was unavoidable, it's scary that one man could convince millions that they were superior, and lead them on to "wipe out the inferior". Sometimes, during the spring, the morning sun rise wakes me up, it's rays invading my eyes. If the mood is just right, I'll start crying for all those who can't see it. For those who don't want to see true beauty, and never will. Why is it that some are so consumed by their own hatred that they are blinded? Blinded by racisim, religon, moral standards, and death? I could try to talk to these people until I'm blue in the face, they still would be oblivous. I have been told that I "am very old and wise", "Think too much", "Can't worry about those less fortunate then me because I can not do anything",and "cry to much for everyone but myself". Personally though, I know they can never say I feel hate.

What a refreshing breath of idealistic freedom! I just hope the young hippies have yuppies as parrents.Especially the yuppies that always look at me in disgust.I am, as described by my wife as a"terminal Hippie lost in the 60's".I have had long hair since 1968 and my music preference hasn't swayed from theDead.Before finishing school ,I traveled across the United States for a few years.I attended probably 60 to 80 Grateful Dead concerts in that time,(you have to understand that it was long ago and the times they were a changing).I think it was the most important part of my education,experiencing different people and lifestyles. Now I am known has the "Hippie Vet".I am a Veterinary Anesthesiologist .{Can you believe they trust me with all these wild drugs?}I still have my 60's attitude and I'm still trying to make a difference.My favorite Quotes are:"It's what you learn AFTER you know it all is what counts"and"Who are the Grateful Dead and why do they keep Following Me?" Have a peaceful day. P.S. If you ever want to hear about my Seventies adventures on the road Drop me a line. Louie1713@aol.com I am a 15 year old male living in Pennsylvania, (outside of Philly). I am a total dork in my school or at least that's what most people who judge me on the outside look at me as. I love to wear tyedyes, sandals, bandana, and hemp jewlrey, and I even wore a headband that was once my aunt's to school in protest of not allowing students the right to write articles in the school newspaper about legalization of marijuana. I love bands such as Phish, the dead, Marley, Led Zeppelin, the Moody Blues, U2, Blues Traveler, the Black Crowes, Hot Tuna, and many others. I am a Liberal Christian meaning that I think God is found in everyone's heart and loves all and does not descriminate on sexual orientation, religion, or personal belifes. I am for free speach and have said certian words such as Lesbian, homosexual, and asking a guy in an assembally if he liked the Beatles (Which my teachers swear I said "Do you Smoke Weed?"). I am the only "true" hippie in my grade (the rest are just wannabe phans or what I call pousers), I don't watch Dawson's Creek but friends of mine do and I was angered that the people of the WB broadcasting played Phish's Birds Of A Feather on Dawson's Creek. I used to be a hardcore Conservative person until my aunt taught me that its ok to be different, and not to judge a book by it's cover. I also love to play guitar.

I remember the day I learned that not everyone's parents strolled around in Dashiki's and Caftans. I remember when I learned for the first time, that the androginous lifestyle I was blessed to know was not cohesive with the average "heads" in the street. I, more than anything, remember the first time I cut off my freak flag like all the other boys. It was the most bummer of a day I dare recall. But it was also the sun phase where I first was warted by the metaphysical "reality", that not everyone was a hippie. I am Seamus, child of two far out Gael'ic guru's, presently seventeen, and I have recently (non-litteral time connotation) found myself embodying the vehicle of 90's hippy. Hippy was a word which has in the past been difficult for me to refer to myself as, but have been guided by the all knowing energy of the Freak God to learn of all peoples rightful place in Truthville. I have been a veggie, and animal rights activist (not involved in the bad scene of the animal rights military society) for six years now. I am an aspiring jazz man, weened from the sounds of Hendrix, Deep Purple, Vanilla Fudge, to the Boston sounds of Ultimate Spinach, Beacon Street, and Orpheus. I am not a self proclaimed hippy, nor am I a hippy because I claim to be so. I am a hippy because I love you. Because I see love not as a sexually driven machine to direct to a drive through chapel service. I see love as an all encompassing, sightless, soundless, genderless, speciesless energy to which we are all made of. As Hair begins, "Trasedental meditation on the ocean of reality is love." All life can be broken down to love, and that is the evolutionary link of life. I share sex to all life open enough to understand love for it's subtle simplicity. I share smoke with any energy that understands that all interstellar travel comes first from within. I share my groove with the urban clanks of the earths hammer striking down. I will go out dancing, as song man does sing. Hippydom is not an elitest clubhouse for babyboomers only, but rather a ripe little cottage to provide shelter from the rain of pop culture forever. I summon a wind flown kiss to all enlightened selves whom I share the world with. Peace and love to all energy, and Qi' to the flamboiantly wonderful flowers out there. Untill we live again, I am a seeker present purple schemes. Far out to you all. Hi, my name is Ben, and I live in upstate NY. The thought of me being an actual hippy never crossed my mind, until people brought it to my attention (alot of people jokingly call me a hippy.) I didn't really pay much attention to them, until one day, it hit me - "whoah, they are right!" I think that my mind is open to a whole different way of thinking than most "non-hippies," and I also manage to see the sunny side of the street, some would call it being stoned, but I know that it is much more than that. My musical interests include: Phish, Beatles, moe, Tom Petty, Bob Marley, Beck, Rusted Root, Allman Brothers, Grateful Dead, Frank Zappa, CCR, etc... Without music, I don't think I could live as a sane man. I also write quite a bit of poetry, I wouldn't know what to classify it as, I have never read to much poetry to know, but I really enjoy to write it. =) Long Live the Music Ben
I'm not a hippie, I'm me. I believe the world is extremely confused, society is evil and people refuse to see the truth that is why they work so much. Some may say I'm a pessimist, but they are wrong, I just see things for what they are. The people who say that are blind, stuck in their fabricated lives that they were given by society from birth. I'm just wanted to put my opinion on the table and welcome any comments. Hi im a 42 yr old hippie and I wish I was back there in the 60s again , but I live my life now and enjoy it I have my 300 vinal/78s to listen to and i sometimes run into other like souls.Remember life is a journey and there are many roads to chouse if you take the wrong one dont be afraid to go back and take another, remember your free, free as the birds/fish. Its inspireing to hear so many people takeing this path, you will be rewarded in a big way. I miss haveing colourful chicks in flowering dresses to dance with. I miss good dope. I miss makeing love in the stillness of a moon filled night. Maby ill buy that harley I was dreaming about last night, do you dream. Im in N.Y. about 40 miles from Woodstock, im Irish. I realy loved the anti nucular marches... If you want to write an old hippie please do, if your in my area on a trip come see me. love to all my sisters and brothers.. Marty.. Hi, I'm Elizabeth and I'm a 14-year-old hippie. I know that may sound young, but I'm very mature for my age. I believe in peace, love, freedom, and rock and roll. My favorite bands in the whole world are The Beatles and The Doors. I love almost all music. I live for it. I'm aspiring to be a singer/songwriter after I finish school. Everyone calls me a hippie, and I know it's true. I have a lot of friends who I've gotten to listen to the groovy bands from back in the day. I've also tried to influence them with the peace and love theory, although it's hard not to wanna yell or smack somebody when you're in a school in New York filled with teenagers. But I try. I hope someone will write to me and keep me thinking peacefully. I'd enjoy talking to any hippie of any age, old or young. Although I think all hippies are young at heart. Love always,
HIPPIE?!
Hey Man! My name is Lilly Star. I am almost 13 and am 5'6 with blue eyes, pale white skin, and dark brown hair that reaches my chin. I decided to become a hippy because my parents hate them, and because I would also love to hang out with people who appreciate my lazyness, and laid back attitude. I am an artist and a musician. I play guitar and piano. I have decicded to name my first child ( if I ever choose to have one) Garcia. Cuz he, along with Hendrix, Lennon, Joplin, Kantner, and many many others shaped the hippie culture with their music y'know man? My favorite songs are China Cat Sunflower By The Grateful Dead, White Rabbit By The Jefferson Airplane, Love Street By: the Doors, and Purple Haze By Jimi Hendrix. My life goals are to grow my hair out, get a REALLY REALLY groovy pair of bell bottoms, and recreate Woodstock, oh wait! I think some guy from Janes Addiction did that already, Oh well, one less goal to accomplish. Well thats all for now See ya! ok heres my life....i am a 16 year old hippie i think, no one chould be a true hippie they only come from the 60's and 70's, but i wish i was. i love the doors, pink floyd, lynard skynard, hendrix, and ozzy.i drive a big brown van with my bf and i do the common drugs LSD, acid,pot, and crack. hippies come from the heart and do not care what others think of them!
I really don't know what to say. I am 17. I grew up on grateful dead, and the attitude that you should be who you want to be. I respect and admire the ways of a hippie and would love to be like that. If someone met me one the street, or if they had just seen me they would probably call me a hippie. But I do not feel that I am fully who I want to be, or fully what a morally good hippie should be and until I am, I don't think that I will ever be satisfied. Thanks for listening. -colleen Hello all you lovely people! My name is Tiffany and I'm 16 years old and I live in a small town in South Carolina. I don't think anyone would call me a hippy if they just saw me...or actually if they listened to me. I think you have to know me a while before you figure out that I do have a little hippy inside me :-). Even I have to dig a little to get it to come out sometimes. I'm working on that though because it really is the true me but it's stifled by my uncreative little high-school and this comfortable little town of unchange I live in. Inside me is this incredible love of everything and everyone and a incredible soreness towards anything hateful. I want peace for the world and I want recognition for our mother earth. I'm not a vegetarian though and I'm sure that you'll all be open-minded enough not to go hating me for that. I do have respect for any animal who had to give its life to feed my greedy belly though. I'm also not religious...nor do I even believe in any sort of god. The closest I get is loving the earth as the mother of us all. I listen to every kind of music that I've ever heard of and I love almost all of it so I can't very well tell you all the groups that are my favs...well, maybe I can tell you two...they would be Aerosmith and The Beatles. I love to make music too through my piano and my clarinet :-). I love art and I hope to oneday be up there with the likes of Picasso and DaVinci. That's all I can think of to write about me so this is the end. Don't hesitate to write to me. I love getting email :-). Catch y'all later! Tiffany tharmon@spartanburg.net Peace to all, I'm a 22 year old Dutch girl and i have been a hippie since i was 15. My goals are bringing the flower power period back and organisating a worldwide Be-in. So if you are interested mail me at: zerobyte@wxs.nl . I'm also looking for Hippies in the Netherlands. Please contact me. Peace and Love, Jennifer Reading all these profiles was awesome - no one where I live (a tiny town in Virginia) can relate to me! Everyone is so sidetracked by Abercrombie&Fitch and Hanson and all that other stupid shit! No one thinks about what life is really about...no one stops to think about all the shit we let continue happening everyday like animal testing, polluting our beautiful earth, rasicm&hatred, and narrow-mindedness. I do not beleive I was born to spend my life at the mall! What annoys me the most is how "hippies" can be steriotyped into bellbottems, weed, and longhair,etc - cause for me it is really not that at all. Sure, that may go along with being a hippie, but not in every case. Being a hippie is a mind set - being open to love and peace and doing what you can to make it! This world can be a better place if we do our best to become healthier people - in mind & body! As for weed - I love you Maryjane:) I think it's helped me open up and relax and have fun. Some of the best expierences I've had have been on acid - everything was so beautiful and interesting and open! I think drugs can be a bad thing if you do not know how to handle them - if you let them control your life.

Reading through all the profiles, some questions came into my head about the whole idea of why people would label themselves as a “hippy” to begin with. It seems to me that people get a kick out of calling themselves a hippy just ’cos they wear the flares, get a buzz off drugs...etc. It’s a state of mind, it’s a way of life and it’s the freedom to spiritually develop the mind regardless of what society says is right or wrong- regardless of our race, background religious upbringing or style. I really admire people who feel that this is what is the true meaning of the word. Let me introduce myself. My name is Linda and I’m studying at university, here in London, for an environmental degree. I wouldn’t want to call myself any label but as a freedom fighter, being a hippy at heart is the closest description of the label that fits me the most. All my life I have fought for what I believe in...yeah, it is true to say that a lot of people never understood what or who I was, simply because I went across every barrier that society imposed on me...as a female, as a mixed race person ( I’m originally half Spanish, half Sudanese ), my retro clothes, the dreads that I used to have ( too long now- so I cut them off! ) and as a spiritual believer. I love learning about different cultures...temple visiting, learning from people from all over the world and really mixing to expand my mind. I’m part of 2 campaigns at the moment. The first is for keeping young people off the streets who are homeless, and the other is against the SICK animal testing that goes on. As humans, we tend to think that we’re the only ones that can have rights- I’d like to change that. One other thing I love is nature. To me, it is the Great Spirit of life. It is the balance of all our energies, which is why it is now fighting against us- the balance has been messed up, by the propaganda that material things is going to make us a better person. We all need to heal. We all need to awaken to our true identity of our belonging. It’s time for a change. Let’s connect and help make this world a better place. I leave you now with a little poem that really touches me about the order of things now: Only after the last tree has been cut down,
-Prophesy of the Cree people. Hope to hear from you soon. BYE.
hi yes i would like to becomr a hippy when i grow up do you have any hippy fashion tips for when i grow up? thank you alot your fellow hippy for the future T.P. email me at sk8terchick88@idirect.com
i just thought i would tell you that i am doing a presentation for a socialogy class on the hippy culture. First of all, i noticed alot of people here suggest they are hippies because of the music they listen to or the way they dress, it's not a correct assumption to think you are a hippie just because of these factors. Being a hippie is a way of life, and has no dress code or requiered music for listening. My dad was a Hippie, and from what i have heard from him, America was a much different place. The draft is no more, racism has been on the decline, sexism is on the decline. i can't understand why you insist on labeling yourselves, the real hippies from the 60's hated the label "HIPPIE" be yourself people don't pigeonhole yourself or your fellow humans, because that's just not fair. Once I was a tiny pink seed, and my mother Earth layed her breath on me so that I flew high, higt up in a bow. And the trace I could watch behind me where of many shimmering colours. Suddenly I felt that I was back in my mothers bussom again and i startes to dig in to it because the high air had been a bit frightening eventhouhg it was more beautiful thing I ever layed my little seedy eyes on. And I felt that my mothers heat made me grow. And guess what happened! I became a beautiful flower, and if you want, you can meet me outside. I have been waiting for a long time now. I use to watch you, you know. Every time you pass I wave my green little arms, and I would be happy if you waved back at me some day. I have a friend in Sweden too if you want to meet a human friend. I have learned that human get restless just spending time with flowers. Though she is a flower too, she is born with the gift of singing and dancing. Please use the snailmail to write. Nina Lindström Koppar v. 49 176 72 Järfälla SWEDEN Je suis un "Hippie" For all of my non-French speaking friends out there, translated that means, I am a hippie. At least, that's what people tell me. I never thought I was. I don't fit the stereotype of a hippie. I do not own anything tie dyed, I have never smoked pot, and I have never heard a Grateful Dead album (although I have watched a 3 hour documentary about dead-heads on Bravo and found it very intriguing.) I guess the reason why I am labeled a "hippie" is because I am very anti-establishment. I am a pacifist, I have never walked into an Abercrombie and Fitch store (I've only been to the mall like 10 times in my life), I don't watch Dawsons Creek (That show is evil), I am always trying to get people to stand up for things they find unfair, I question authority, I'm always getting people to sign petitions, I listen to folk music and play guitar, I am open-minded, and I once protested a required woodworking class at school because "we are selfishly chopping and hacking away trees for what? a lopsided doorstop." I guess the last one alone was enough to dub me a hippie for the rest of my life. (I was successful though, I was able to do a different project without using wood. I had to figure out a way to recycle and old tennis shoe and was very happy hacking up an old nike tennis shoe and creating a tres chic and unique purse) My life is full of internal conflicts. I feel very hypocritical, I try to be as peaceful as possible, and say I'm a pacifist, yet, sometimes I can't control myself and whollup one of my many siblings upside the head. (I am one of 7 kids). My dad works as a supervisor at a nuclear power plant, and nuclear power is a big no no of the hippie lifestyle, yet the food I eat is bought by the nuclear power plant (What luck I have). I honestly don't think nuclear power is that bad, in my opinion, coal power is much worse. I am 15 years old and in 10th grade at the horrendously uncreative high school of Farmington Hills MI. But age is just a label, and you'd probably never guess that I am this young. I am on student council at school which I thought was going to be great (I'd get to speak my mind and make a difference.) But student council is run by the populars, and alas I was shunned by them. It's miserable. I don't know how I got onto student council, considering that I don't have many friends (Quality not Quantity). My favorite subject is History, I have a great teacher that encourages discussion and 2 great classmates and we have wonderful conversations while the rest of the stereotypical teens in the class put on makeup or sleep. In my spare time I like to write, everything, I don't like English class though, (I do have a wonderful teacher and it's not her fault honestly) because I don't like to be told to write. I write what I want to write and when I want to write. Anyway, I'm a Libra with Gemini rising and moon in Gemini. I love Gemini's, Libra's, Sag's, Aquari's, and Virgo's. But anyone can write! Squirelly7@aol.com Thisby Oh yeah, I am and Ani DiFranco fan. Hey all you friendly beings out there. My name is Elf and I am considered a flowerchild not because of the way that I dress or because I have long hair, I am considered a hippie because I am very peaceful and I respect all who are around me and I do more than my part to care for and respect this earth. I have been going to rainbow family gatherings since 1995, and every one has been a very beautiful experience. I am a practicing devotee of Asatru(Scandinavian paganism). I live in a shallow minded small redneck town in Missouri. Unfortunately there are very few hippies or even half way like minded people around where I am. I could definitely use some correspondence from other kind people. Write if you would, Peace, love, and light. elf_wilson98@yahoo.com I'm a 17 years old young man from Québec so, excuse my English because I speak French.

I'm unfortunately very lonely due to a hippy shortage here in hickland,USA.i would even be intersested in meeting people in person once i'm out of HS.I'm already planning a roadtrip before college(can't go alone!).I believe anyone who has an adventurous and open mind is a hippy.not necessarily one who listens to the Dead and Phish and babbles on about saving the environment!My hobbies include reading(poetry,fiction),guitar (future Garcia???........no,i don't think so),art(pyschedelic,abstract realism), musik( Dead, Phish,Hendrix,Marley,Widespread Panic,others).if you want to know more about me then feel free to email me!: ) ***RamDass7@aol.com*** Will Help!!! I am a dorky person who fits the description of a hippy! I have no friends! I live in a silly Ohio town! I need out! Freaked out yet? Don't be it's just me bekah, that dorky girl who wears "hippy clothing"- I would like to talk to people- especially ones who would like to get me out of ohio and out to oregon where my boyfriend lives.

I do love all of you, even the ones who look like fat old politicans =) here iam---------->>>>> Bekka103@aol.com Greetings in the name of his imperial majesty Haile Selassie I JAH RASTAFARI!!!!!!!! My name is Carlos and I'm 15 and live in Puerto Rico. I consider myself a hippie in my ideas and ways of thinking> I think that being a hippie is not about fashion and music (eventhough i like hippie music). I think that listening to the Dead or wearing a tie dye is being Hippie. Being a hippie is more than that. I believe in peace, freedom, equality, unity, justice and righteousness and i also believe in many rasta ideals. I do not tolerate Capitalism, pollution, wars and Imperialism. I like reggae and and hippie bands( Bob Dylan, The doors, Jimi Hendirx, Bob Marley, Peter tosh, beatles, lennon, jefferson airplane, dead, hugh mundell, velvet underground, israel vibration, gladiators, abyssinians, ink floyd, Mc5 and many more) I like photography and a little of art like Picasso. I dont' use drugs but i'm not against them. I dig Leary Marx, Nietzche and Ginsberg and many other movements of the 60's like Black Panthers, SDS. I fight for the independence od my nation Puerto Rico which is a "colony
I know I am true hippy at heart. I love not just the bands from long

Hey, everybody! My name is Sharon. I live in a small town called Indian Lake, New York. If anybody who reads this knows where Indian Lake is you've definiteley got to e-mail me. We've got some talking to do! Only about 2,000 people in the entire town. 100 kids in my high school. 250 kids K-12. I'm telling you, it's small. Anyway, to be a teenager today it's tough to get adults to listen to you. It's tougher when you come from such a small town. People here think that you should conform yourself to fit into the rest of society just because you're supposed to. I have a hard time trying to stand up for what I believe in. I do it, but have little luck getting anyone to listen. It doesn't bother me too much. 'I love what I love and I want it that way' Grateful Dead. So anyway, I have no problem with sticking out in the crowd. None of my friends enjoy the things that I do. In fact, one of my friends used to have her walls plastered with pictures of Hanson. How sick is that? My other friend gets her kicks by watching back episodes of Dawson's Creek. I'm not like them and I don't try to be. I believe very strongly in self-expression and mind expansion. To me, it doesn't matter how you achieve these things, as long as they are achieved. I find that the best ways are through poetry and music. I play guitar, piano and clarinet. I also sing. The music I enjoy listening to includes The Beatles, The Doors, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, The Mamas and the Papas, Phish, Grateful Dead, and Rusted Root. There are many others but I think that these are my favorites. I don't believe in eating meat. I think that it's wrong to kill animals when we could easily survive off of vegetation. But, I definiteley don't have any problems with thoses of you that do choose to eat meat. To each his own. I don't want to be another 'hippie stereo-type', but I have long brown hair, I'm usually found wearing bell-bottoms and patchwork, tie-dye, or crepe, and I usually wear brightly colored scarves around my head like a bandanna. This means nothing. I wear whatever I find comfortable. I plan on heading to Woodstock this summer, maybe go to a few Phish shows, and I have plans on heading to San Francisco. I'm going to check out the Haight. I believe I'm getting a VW Bus with my crappy summer pay, and I'll take a few of my friends on some trips. All in all, I'll have fun. I'm 16 years old. If anybody would like to chat about ANYTHING, please e-mail me. I'll talk to anyone. I love writing to people. Tleachsr@telenet.net. 'And now the time has come, and so my love, I must go.' -The Beatles ''Scuse me, while I kiss the sky.' -Jimi Hendrix Peace, Love, and Music, Sharon I'm a young Hippie. I was born too late for the really fun stuff...I'm a 19 male from the mid-west and can't wait to move somewhere cool. I drive a 74 bug (no flowers though) and work enough to support myself and habit.. I like road "tripping" but haven't been able to sense last summer cause my damn job interferes to much...Now everyone knows a little about me. Hiya Everyone !! My name is Rachel Wessel from NJ. Some of you might have seen my articles in Hippyland about my views on vegetarianism. If not, then check it out man!! Anyways, I'm 18 and a senior in high school. I love the Grateful dead, phish, jefferson Airplane, and other heavy groups. I wear thrift store clothes, homemade clothes (patched pants etc.), and other "hippy" -like clothes. I wear patchouli oil all the time. I love meeting new people because my town is small and kinda sux except for the manor parks in which I go to drum circles in the woods with my friends. It would be heavy if YOU....the viewers of my lil profile, perhaps dropped me an email!!! thanx a bunch! PEACE sincerely, rachel Wessel (aka graceslick in hippychat) graceslick@msn.com
My name's Emily annaemily@hotmail.com,although i'm not big on stereotypes and labeling people I would consider myself to be a hippy, I've felt for the longest time i was born in the wrong time and should have been born in the 50's so i would have gotten to really experience all the things that happened in the 60's instead of just reading about them. I think i'm a hippy for several different reasons,I believe in idealogies of the 60's,I believe in peace,love,unity,and respect to everyone,i consider myself to not only be an old soul but a very open minded person, although raised a christian i have tried recently to learn as much about as many other religions as possible, and at this point would not consider myself a christian, I have great respect for our earth and all animals and people. In my spare time I listen to Eric Clapton,The Allman Brothers,The Doors,The Beatles,The dead,The who,and Jimi Hendrix just to name a few.I also have a passion for reading and writing poetry. My favorite quote is by jim morrison "Have you been borne yet and are you alive? Lets reinvent the gods all the myths of the ages."-from "An American Prayer".I also look like a hippy i live in Bell bottoms and have long hair.I really want to go to the woodstock reunion,and i want to go to the Haight in San Fran as soon as i can. Anyway,i have a lack of hippy friends both on and off line, i would love to talk to and meet some real hippies sometime, cause being a 16 year old hippy in a small Tennessee town isn’t the best thing in the world, so if your a hippy looking for another hippy to just talk with please e-mail me at annaemily@hotmail.com PEACE & LOVE!
i want to see the world....by myself....just me and my legs....i want to love everyone...as much as i love myself...i want to spread my happiness...and smile for god..... My name's Jessika and I'm rooted in Knoxville, Tn. for a while. I'm

Greetings all my brothers and sisters! This is Amy, a 16 year old sister
Remember, we are all in this together!
hey. i'm only 15, but i love the hippy life. my parents are right out of the 60's too. the music out of the hippy era was great i love hendrix, the doors, and the easy rider soundtrack. i don't do the drugs but still........ i love the peace aspect of the life, if anyone ever gets into a fight i say," make love not war!". i'm from WASHINGTON STATE birth place of jimi hendrix baby! it's very boring in the town i live in though. i'm 4'11" with out shoes, i have long brown curly hair, deep brown eyes and i'm mostly italian. anyway this is my life. if you want to write i would love to meet you, use this address or emilytk9@hotmail.com PEACE LOVE AND HARMONY I'm not sure I consider myself a hippy. You see I'm 13 now, and a year ago I was just minding my own business when I decided (I don't know how or why) that I liked how hippies dressed, I liked their fashion. So I dressed like one, jean bells, tie dyes, and hippy jewelry. Then I did some research on hippies and decided that they are very smart people (except for the drugs). And since I am from Israel (but I don't live their now) and they always have those wars then I decided to be a hippy. I believe that it was stupid for the United States to send soldiers to Vietnam for a war that didn't even include them. I guess I was born about 30 years too late to be a hippy, but hippies can be in any time or form that they want to be. Recently I saw a miniseries on T.V. called, "The 60's" and ina way I'm glad I wasn't born then because it seemed like really hard times. I don't listen much to 60's music, like Janis Joplin and the Grateful Dead, but I listen a bit to the Beatles. I am mostly a Pop/Rock person. I listen to (and love!) Savage Garden, Janet Jackson, Natalie Imbruglia, and the reborn Madonna. But I also like Queen. Also I learned recently that "Shalom" in my language Hebrew means "Hello," "Godbye," and, "Peace!" So now whenever I see a relative or person the speaks Hebrew I say, "Shalom!" I believe in Peace, and that all the enemies of Israel should just leave Israel alone! Let there be peace in Israel! "We're not against the soldiers, We're against the war!" Nili Did you know my name means Israel will live forever in Hebrew? Well it does. Far Out huh? :-) I have just spent the last hour reading through some profiles on this peaceful page, and -- now, I'm not trying to be degrading here -- but being a hippy is a bit more than a lot of you seem to beleive. That's all fine and dandy. If you'd like to call yourself a hippy because you wear bell bottems and tie-die t-shirts, that's fine. All the more power to you. I consider myself a hippy for other reasons that I'd like to share. I haven't found too many people around here (a tiny, yuppy suburb of Pittsburgh) who are in tune with me... Most people just look at me and snicker. And I let them. If that is how they wish to treat someone who is willing to speak their mind, then I will let them. I do not subscribe to a particular "religion." I am Roman Catholic by tradition and sing for that church every other Saturday. I do not beleive in all of the beliefs, but still find ways to keep with the singing... The ritual calms me. I have been a cantor since I was about 7 years old, and don't want to drop it, now. It is the only way I can express myslef musically at the present time, and plan to continue doing this until I discover another outlet for this musical side of me. I beleive in peace and freedom and personal beliefs. I am entirely willing to accept anyone's thoughts and beliefs, as long as they have good reasons to support them. I have not used drugs to this point in my life, although I would not rule out the future possibility. I do beleive that they can expand your conciousness, but haven't had the opportunity to try them just yet. I can be tolerant of either drug users, although I would not support a long lasting addiction... I do not find that type of behavior healthy OR helpful. I enjoy the Beatles more than any other music group in all of history. I can tolerate the music of the '90's, although I perfer the peace filled songs of the sixties, and, in particular, the Beatles. John Lennon was truly a revolutionary and a hippy in one of the fullest tenses of the word. He is an inspiration to me. I am looking for other people who are willing to enter into either on-line relationships or real life relationships, to give me piece of mind. I need to hear from other "true" hippies... I KNOW YOU'RE OUT THERE! I can't be completely alone in my frame of mind. Please write to me at strawberryfields@mailcity.com I am willing to read and respond to all e-mails and would really like to contact any real hippies who might be interested in a friendship. If anyone was offended by what I said, you, too can feel free to respond. I will listen and respond to you as well. Peace and love,
Hello everyone, My name is Brad, and I guess I can be considered a hippy at this blatantly Backstreet Boys-esque conservative little college that I go to, Xavier University in Cincinnati, OH. Not that I don't enjoy it or anything, but there are no more than 10 genuine Phish phans on the entire campus. Anyways, I'm 19 and bow down to the band Phish. No, my parents weren't hippies, no I don't have dreadlocks, no I don't wear patchworks and tye dyes everyday (some days, but not everyday), but I enjoy the musical aspect of the hippy subculture. I do smoke the kinder, but to me, from reading the rest of these profiles, it seems like a large number of you think that doing drugs and being scummy is what being a hippy is all about. Not all of you, but quite a few. I don't think this is any way of justifying your "hippyhood". It's what's in your head that makes you a hippy (and that doesn't necessarily mean THC or LSD). For the past two years, I have traveled along with parts of the Phish tour, and saw my 19th and 20th shows in New York City on the 29th and 30th of December (and yes, they were indeed phatty). Not that my passion for Phish makes me a hippy by any means, but I have witnessed a culture among the Phishheads that consider themselves hippies who are following the band for the drugs and not the music. This has been a negative aspect to the Phish scene for a while now, and for all of you true phans out there, you're great and I love every one of you. Where am I going with this? No idea. I just thought I'd express an opinion of mine to a audience in which it is relevant. If anyone would like to chat sometime, especially any die-hard Phish phans, float me an email at 000318@xavier.xu.edu and we'll talk about things with less than no worth. Until then, I send out my deepest wishes of happiness and love. Keep the sense of unity and community prevelant in this particularly squirrely world that we live in, and keep sharin' in the groove. Peace, Bradford L. "Inspiration, move me brightly."
hey this is jael once again. im lookin for some people to e-mail me and talk to because im sick of the people in my town, and like talking to new people. please e-mail me! Jael. Hello. I'm as so called hippie from NJ. I'm only 15 but I've been told I have and old soul so I interact with other people older than me quite well. I'm a girl with long long wavey goldish. strawberry hair and hazel/green eyes. I'm short, 5'3" to be exact and stopped growing. I've been this way since I was about 10 years old. My family is normal and my parents divorced. SOmetimes I feel outcast, but I like it. I have a beaustiful boyfriend who soon with be my husband, Carl, S. I like campingm deep sea fishing, Archery (But no hunting) , concerts, music of The Beatles, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Iron Butterfly, and many many rock and metal artists.

I'm at Beatle2255@aol.com Love and Peace, ALi (Smuckers) So..this is where you end up when you're bored and alone. I believe being a true hippy has nothing to do with long hair, rock and roll, and drugs (but it helps!). The whole ideaology behind "being a hippy" has to do with peace, love, and happiness. Loveing Mother Earth and trying to make a difference in a blind and deaf society. Speak up and don't studder when you have something to say.

Isn't hippism about tearing away the labels?? You are here, because you don't want to conform, you want to be a hippy so people would stop labelling you. But by saying the words "I am a hippy" you have conformed, and worst of all, you've labelled yourself! I thought alternative living was all about getting rid of stereotypes.

hi! My name is Mali, I'm from a small town in Mississippi. I saw your message on the hippie profile page. I'm a 16 year old female. I'm dying to go to this year's Woodstock reunion. I believe in peace, love, unity among my brothers and sisters, vegetarianism, mind expanding drugs, and music which frees the soul and mind. My parents, well my mom mostly, don't dig these beliefs.

Mm, my names Dana. I'm a 15 year old very open minded person. Some call me a hippie. I am also a non practicing wiccan. My bday is May 14th 1983 and I'm getting my liscence this summer. I'm going to get a van and paint it like the Mystery Machine and then I'm going to go on a road trip through out the US. I also want a motorcycle. You can check out my page for more info at http://www.mysp.com/p/nightsun/index.html. My pics are at http://www.mysp.com/p/nightsun/pic.html. I am looking for a guy in my area. I like goth/punk guys too. I believe that goths and punks are the next stages of hippies/alterna culture. Well, if you want email me or icq me at 27150217. Ok, peace and cya! Dana Beeman Hey, I'm Rob. I'm 23 from Dayton, Ohio and I am definately looking to hook up with some hippies in the Cincinnati/Dayton/Columbus Area, or anywhere for that matter. I am totally searching for my soul mate... and I am sure she is a beautiful
Now the've done it....they made us "Fit a profile" remember the 5 o'clock news lady ".....and police say the suspect fits the profile....." I never thought I'd fit a profile, hell I try my best to avoid anyones profile or target audience or a bulleted age group! I am a 90's hippie (could that be a stereotype in disguise?) I am just me...ok, I am a "deadhead" (oooops another group lable) and promote a healthy earth and promote peace on the other hand I am not a veggie and do not car pool but I do have a few Hand Made tye dyes....ok so WalMart had a sale. I am a person who has declared to me and whoever was unlicky enought to be on that city bus at the same time that I will try to be the best person I can and know I am human, I will assist all my bro's and sis's as we are all Earth's family and again know they too are human. I will not ignore an injustice if I see one 'cause it would be a double injustice and I will always remember to teach to all that surround and learn from all that are around: We are Teachers and Students and are both daily, forget one and you forgot both. I guess I got a bit pissed when it was obvious many "Hippies" segued into Yuppies so I am not nor will I ever be grouped, labled again I am me period!Oh ... and for gosh sakes, why is it always me who gets the ash hit on that pipe? Peace: It never went out of fashion for me and you can't buy it at WalMart well....I think I've read just about everyone's profile and I was kinda afraid to put mine in, but here we go : ) I'm Sarah and I'm18 yrs old....and I'm not going to say that "it doesn't
I guess you could say I believe idealogies of the sixties...I believe
in
I always feel comfortable around other hippies..they make me feel so
