chronicles of the jaded hippy...

So I saw something whilst postering last thursday that was truly a mystifying experience.

Enter the jaded hippy.

To those that don't know, yes there is a nu breed of hippy mulling around various coffee shops on the drive and at such horrid venues like club 23 et al.

But this guy REALLY stood out.

First thing that happened was what he said, "this is a warzone right here". So I was like 'okay, it sure is man' ...thinking he was on some sort of consumerism trip as it was right off the skytrain. Then he insisted "No man, really, this is a fucking warzone, get it?"

I realized soon after that this tender gestaltist has broke his yoke, and not unlike a candy raver turning bitter junglist, this man, had arguably become the world's angriest hippy.

What a sight to behold! I could hardly contain myself, but instead of just laughing in his face and peacing out, I realized that I would never see him again after this, so I stuck around for a few fireworks.

"You know you should really watch who you're talking to" I told the guy. "No, you should watch who you're talking to" he peewee hermaned back. He then surmised that he knew what I was all about and started belligerently calling on every random that crossed his path.

I pulled out my bear mace just in case but it wasn't long till I realized this fine specimen was all bark and no bite. What a treat! He was waiting for someone to just break his nose or something, I however, was not that man. One too many acid trips I figure is what brought this out. It was kind of like being in an accident, like right at the moment you know you're gonna get fucked up and all you can do is brace for impact. Then out came the cake, a black forest cake, which the guy was eating with his bare hands, at record time, all the while calling everyone pigs!

Behold!!

Im wondering if y'all have any jaded hippy stories, if you do, let it be known.
