I whip my hair

Hello,
My name is bwings and I'm just gonna whip my hair back and forth.

Still no word from google, I have, however, had a few comments and messages about not letting them push me down.


Dear Hippie Mom,
I miss your posts! What am I supposed to do without your educational and witty entries on our crumbling world? 
Lonely Hippie

Dear Hippie Mom,
How did you get in trouble this time?! I don't get it, you have got to be the cleanest controversial person I've ever read/watched. Hope this clears up soon and we can get back to cleaning our acts with bwings!

Dear Hippie Mom, 
You are just going to have to get your own site so no one can dominate you. MWAHAHAHAHA!
Diabolical Hippie


So digging down deep in my granola child spirit I stood up and as Willow Smith would say,

"Don't let haters keep me off my grind
Keep my head up I know I'll be fine
Keep fighting until I get there
When I'm down and I feel like giving up I think again.
I whip my hair back and forth!"

I've also added some themed music to the page for your listening pleasure.
Alas, this is Friday, the end of my blogging week. But I will make a strong attempt at a return on Monday.

For today I thought I would leave you with a quick grin about the different types of hippie as defined by Robert Fuller.

According to Robert Fuller there are four main type of hippies, New-hippie/Neo-hippie, Granola Children, Techno-hippies/Angry Hippies, Rippies/Yunkers



  • New-hippie/Neo-hippie - A child of the 60's, politically informed and often well educated. They are always in touch with current political and environmental events/trends. Advocate causes in the spirit of peace, love and freedom. Protest against values that contradict theirs. These new-hippies are often associated with odd clothes and drugs. Every fiber of their being is a flower-child.


  • Granola Children - A similar to New-hippies yet slightly diluted. These are the garden variety, non-pushy, mostly vegetarian, environmently-friendly, tree-hugging hippie. They don't waste their time trying to change the world but will educate where they can and otherwise walk through life peacefully enjoying their clean, green lifestyle. {this is what you would classify this hippie mom as!}







  • Techno-hippies/Angry Hippies - The complete opposite of granola children these hippies are more in your face about their morals and values. Like a futuristic version of the neo-hippie, often gamers who speak out using the internetz. They are quite flashy in comparison as well, with tattoos, body piercings and strange hairstyles like dreadlocks. Attending rave parties where they, like their archaic neo-hippies, consume large quantities of alcohol and drugs.
  • Rippies/Yunkers - A hippie without a cause, a poser you could say. Called a rippie as they are ripping off the hippie lifestyle. Some theorize they hide behind the hippie culture to take drugs with a 'reason'. This isn't a hippie, just a wannabe. 
A PERFECT celebrity example of this would be the Olsen Twins (right) they dress and act like hippies yet are anything but. Promoting fur is so definitely not in a hippies true colors.

I agree with most of what Robert had to say. Save his statement of all hippies wearing tie dye and sandals. This is one hippie who wouldn't be caught in tie dye save for Halloween or a joke and although a sandal wearer definitely prefers to foot it bare.

Well that is all from this granola child for this week. I apologize once again for the lack of posting. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and will see you again with some make-up on Monday.

your friendly neighborhood hippie mom.
