Here’s an interesting email conversation I had with some friends this morning:

I've scheduled a doctors apt. at 2:00, so I'll be home early, if any one's up for anything.

I'll be home around 5 and I think I'll be canning the gym for the day. I'm just gonna chill and wait to start drinkin around 8 or 9, then head to the bars.

Curse you all. Unfortunately I am not a Hippy who works dirty Hippy hours... so I'll be here until 5.

God Damned, contemptible Hippies...

Shave your sideburns!

Better to be a Hippy than a slave. That's right, go write your computer programs for King Cotton. "Oh, Lordy, pick a bail of software. Oh Lordy, ctrl-alt-delete."

Corporate slaves are the modern day knights. We have integrity.

Hippies were, and are, the whores of society. One often finds their integrity replaced by a nasty case of herpes... usually the terminal kind.

Sorry, I went to lunch at 11:00. It's amazing what one can do when one's boss is not around.

The so-called integrity of the corporate slave is the same false sense of purpose experienced by the serf. Once the king has milked the serf of all but his blood, he is cast off without a second thought. Such is present-day corporate America. I would argue that corporate boards of directors are the modern-day nights, but never the worker bees, the slaves, the employees.

The modern-day Hippie owes his allegiance to self above all, shunning corporate rules and regulations in search of true fulfillment, a sense of purpose not derived from contributing to the bottom line. The modern-day Hippie is the troubadour of the new millennium.

Spoken like a true Hippy.
