I am never going to wear a tie again. In fact, today the garbage man got a whole rack of Brooks Brothers stuff. I am going to grow my hair down to my butt, buy a pair of earth shoe sandals, and wear nothing but boxer shorts and my old college t-shirt from here on out. I will bathe, at least once a month, whether I need it or not. After all this time in the business community, I have had it with the politics and the petty backbiting and all that dang MUZAC. After all, I am stardust, I am golden, I am billion year old carbon. Now , I know Surprise , AZ may not be Haight Ashbury, but , dangit, I am going to start an anti-establishment, hippie type thing right here in Suburbia. Would you like to join me?

LOL 8_track, you're about 40 years too late on that one. I haven't worn a tie more than 4 times since 1969. And my hair is ALREADY down the middle of my back. Well, I do shower once a day and Northern Minnesota is NOT the right place to wear sandals year round, Shorts too, for that matter. Frost bite is VERY ugly to look at in the middle of January. LOL

I know what you are feeling and going through. I was a part of the original flower child. I was fifteen when the Beatles started the British invasion. From there to the Stones Zombies Kinks Creme Jefferson Airplane and on and on. There will never again be the same feeling as the free love days within the decade of the sixties.
Thanks for the memories.

I was a beatnik "wannabe" (Jack Kerouac, and other iconoclasts) just prior to make love not war Hippiedom, but was young and feared parental rages,so I watched from the sidelines. I was fortunate to live in the San Francisco Bay Area at the time, where it seemed everything was happening in the way of counterculture. I missed the Hippie boat because of shyness and fear. But I've always been a closet Hippie--I'm certainly a flaming liberal from the West Coast, California- and Oregon influenced (Oregon pioneered bottle recycling and large fines for highway littering, and, oh yes, protected its coastline early on from private development so that the public could have access to its breathtaking beauty --I'm proud to say I'm Oregon-born). With all that background, how could I resist your invitation? Sign me up. You're a peach and a plum, my dear. We're all carbonated golden stardust, aren't we? (Hmmmm....carbonation makes me drunk on Love.) My heart's in your pocket where"ever" you are. Blessed be. I am Sirius

Except for the boxer shorts, the college shirt, the lack of bathing, the long hair, and the earth shoe sandals, Yeah, I will join you.

You will be needing me. I was in a commune. We did bath up when we could steal some soap from a Frat house that invited a few hippie girls over because they thought we were easy. They were the easy ones. We could stuff enough necessaries in our backpacks to take care of our men.
Edit: You have underwear?

I am a hippie in these parts.
Organic food, hemp lip gloss, peace, love and happiness. Anti war.
I do bathe daily though.
T-shirts, jeans and hemp mocs. Not a dress to be had.
And it ain't cool in Southern Indiana either. But I am me and I am happy. So screw them.
