If I re-lived life I'be a hippy.

Nope not going through her albums but she has shared some great music that I wouldn't have known about. Did I play brand new day yet? Think I did. You have no idea how meaningful that song is to me..

What happened to Jimi, let's go back to that...

I had a dreadlock stage. Not only that, I was adament about growing them naturally, meaning no beeswax or any product.

That was back when I was living in Thailand. I got lice （as people who have long hair in Thailand often get）I tried many methods to get rid of them, had to shave my head.

My wife doesnt believe the locks existed.

I hope Joe makes it to Mexico, 'cause that wife of his probably deserved it.

I'm not an example for how people should live their lives. Never in my life would I ever set out to be an example for people on how to live their lives. If you need an example for how to live, then you just shouldn't have been born. Straight up.

Okay Dan, I think you've officially lost it... music is just not going with the theme, sorry.

 

[Dan]

I think it is.. Hippies had open minds. Probably from all the drugs. I'm only drinking beer so my mind cant be that way out there.

Did you watch the videos and soak in the words? It takes a few times to get the meaning.

 

[Dan]

Okay heres one that will make you comfortable

 

[BBL_Brewer]

I'm with you Dan, I can see how that fits your style. It's all good bro.

Jemi Hendrix.... Wow, I seriously mean WOW! He is a legend. Many have tried to duplicate his music, and have. The harder part is to duplicate his spirit. I think it happens though. You guys might think I"m something I"m not, but I'll tell you Lil Wayne.. that guy is sureal. There are many great musician/poets in this world. We learn of a few.

Life is good it you let it be. It won't be if ever the in valve gets closed and your life pump cavitates.

This is a lot better.
My horizons are broad enough.

 

[iaefebs]

I'm a little slow and skipped over a lot of posts. The thread that started was hippie life. That I know a little about. Lil Wayne? not so much.

 

[Dan]

What do hippies stand for?

 

[Dan]

If you don't post soon I'll give you my own meaning. Doesn't make it correct but will.

Sure and I'll tell you how it was living in the 12th century.

I like that one.


Hey people! Is there something wrong with love and peace?

I'm not a smurfing hippy but can understand the whole movement. As far as I know, the hippy's were born in the sixties, or maybe teens in the sixties.

What was going on then? Parents were living the american dream and they worked hard for it. There was also a cold war, nuclear cold war going on. The USA and Soviet Union had many stockpiles of nuclear weapons. Either country could have blown up the other.

The Korea war dug it's bad memories into our society back then as well. Seemed like the world especially in the late 1950's and 60's life was weird but people survived, thrived.

Adults were living the American dream. There kids were too and then the Vietnam war came up. By the time it hit kids were like WTF? Why do I need to go get myself killed over a far off country that has no effect on my life? America was bada$$ that time. We ruled. We put our kids to task.

The kids didn't want to go fight a war that they had no purpose to. America drafted to get men to join. The war was a failure. Hey, I'm a vet, I'm not slamming Vietnam vets. Their life was harder than mine ever was because many of them were forced to do Uncle Sam's deeds and when they came home they were considered degenerates by us americans.


So, anyway some time between america living high, mighty and kicking butt. Kids had to grow up. Some of them didn't believe in the war of the day and flocked together.. They just wanted peace and love. I think that started the Hippy movement. I have nothing bad to say about that. nothing at all.

The problem is that there is no such thing as peace without force.
Without a strong military on our side we would have ended up at war with Russia.
Without strength at home the thugs would rule the street.

Peace the way hippies see it only works if everybody on earth wants to play that way, and since man has been around there have always been people that you needed defended against.

We all want a peaceful life, but without brave young people defending that way of life it simply can't happen.

To be a hippie you have to abandon a lot of reality about the world.

 

[statu]

You need war in order to have peace. Just like good needs evil to exist. Just like you need bad beer in order to have good beer other wise they all would taste the same.

So why can't the world abandon reality? Pretty sure we already have though. I know what you're saying bro. I'm very happy to have spent a career in the military supporting this country and my son has taken on that task as well. Why the smurf can't we all live as one. Take care of each other. I know you don't have an answer but would like the same if possible. God, if you believe in him, gave us a choice in how to live life. I'm pretty sure most of us eff that up on a regular basis.To bad really. People together can do wonderful things. There is a small line between us that keeps smurfing everything up and it is so basic. WE could all do better in this world if we lived as one. It will never happen.

Oops Edit. That is where hippies came in. In my wacked out opinion.

 

[Dan]

So what you are saying is there has to be a positive and negative, day and night, evil and good. In between we are expected to find a balance?

I agree.

 

[statu]

They are extremes. I like to live in the middle if I have a choice. But the extremes are always there. But when it comes to beer I like to live on the edge. Life is to short to drink bad beer.

 

[Dan]

Great point! Cheers my friend!

 

[statu]

Just like my extremes now. I'm home visiting my family in Portugal for Christmas. But I have to leave Sunday to go back to a stinking hell hole. These two places are night and day.

 

[Dan]

So the question is..where do your fall in between the two?

Costa Rica in 6 months. Three year tour. Three years in lisbon. One in Afghanistan and then three in San Jose.
