Unhip among the Hippie Hipsters

topic posted Sun, January 8, 2006 - 1:06 AM by  Audio
I just went to a hippie gathering-- and I thought I was one of them-- but I just felt unhip among the hippies. That was sad.

I don't really have very interesting hair, which I think is a prerequisite for hippydom. Dreadlocks, curls, home haircuts, burnt hair, or shaved bald.

I have no tattoos of eastern mystical symbols, I do not smell of patchouli, and I dance like a B-boy, not a seizure victim. I do not say "Namaste" as much as I probably should, I have a full time job, and I have not done a complete colon cleanse recently. I don't know the words to bhangra music (Indian techno) and I am not living in a Tantra commune.

It's a shame, because I DO believe in peace and love and healthy food and groovy music and natural women and health and transcendence and social justice and sustainability and free love.

Is there a heaven for a G (eek)?
