I'm Turning into a Hippy:

Not purposely of course. (I was shot with a particle beam Tuesday)

Slowly, it seems, but I've been noticing slight changes now for awhile. It began with health food. I moved to more organic foods, dispensing with preservatives and processed foods (as much as possible on a college student's wages). Then I began cutting back on my meat intake and increased fruits and vegetables (I always ate alot of bread and rice, mmmm yummers) bringing me tottering on the edge of herbavoritarianism (much prefered to vegetarianism). Next came environmentalism and human rights. We are such a wasteful and careless society (milk jugs take over a thousand years to start biodegrading, how could I live tossing that in the garbage?) producing tons of trash each day. Then the amount of money and resources poured into entertainment: how much water/fossil fuels/energy and money is expended on fulfilling our selfish greed while there are starving children in Africa and Chinese babies being left in markets?

Its a bloody outrage.

The final change struck me this morning after I finished my biology final: I live in a world where love, art, music, beauty, and imagination are of great importance and where mathematics are considered satanic spawn and science thought of as absolute hogwash (not completely, but I'm exaggerating for effect). I mean why can't we be a little more imaginative? Who cares if light is both a photon and a wave, even if we say a photon is a particle of light how can we be certain that that isn't just a microscopic camel with a light bulb/jet pack strapped to its back? (not an actual belief of mine I'm simply making a point that we've traded any sense of imagination or creativity for scientific "fact" which makes us a damnably dull people).

All of which leads me to believe that I am becoming a tree-hugging-green-peacer with a number of non-acid caused trips of fantasia or in layman (transgendered goat) terms a hippy.

Luv,
Clay
