GOING HIP!
Going Hip!
Sometimes it is good for a man to just ignore all life and the buzz going around his sphere. After all, this man has nothing to lose if he’d just let it all hang out.
Who cares about what people think if nobody gives a hood if you are dead or alive?
One day in my lifetime, I just want to go haywire and let loose and wear my heart on my sleeves…. It will be nice and oh, so fulfilling to see those open mouths gasping for air!
In a mall fully packed with shoppers going around in all directions… with some even recognizing this crazy guy as Me, Myself and I.
Others will be like... what is wrong with him, has he gone crosswire?
Now, here is the thing. Why blame honest onlookers when they see this guy gong all the way down to the music only going hip in his own head.
Oh, what a feeling it is, to hear all this music inside my own head while others can just imagine the beats these feet, hands, and hips are swaying!
Going hip without feeling all that hippy… is the way to go for me of late!
I just want, if you will let me be… going hip without feeling hippy! Twisting all the way round in half circles and in incomplete gyration. See what I am saying?
Imagination is the power of all suggestions and personal persuasion. Dreaming happens after all those things we have been imagining all day long.
Is this not the reason you sometimes remember having seen some of the things you dreamed about before the actual dream?
One night I dreamed myself seating next to this woman inside a bus… only to happen to be recognizing the same woman boarding, walking straight and sat right on the opposite side… the very next day.
I did not know what to make of this awkward moment of living the reality of my dream. Strangely, this girl acted like she knew me... smiling and teasing me with her bright eyes!
I was flabbergasted and almost felt all that hip without being hippy.
It was amazing just I was looking at her as part of my presence or even real fantasy. For the next three and half hours of my journey, there she was just like I saw her in my dream.
You can deduce whatever you will from this rare experience, but they say: you can question a man's method, but you can never argue his experience.
Going hip without feeling so hippy is the way I feel sometimes. I know there is not much control I have as far as my environment is concerned… since I share my space with people from all walks of life.
Knowing my place is always key to maintaining my peace, sanity, and my sense of pride. No man can survive long without the sense of pride and self-worth.
Going hip without feeling hippy and drug-free from all substance abuse: I never emulate the hippies of the eighties who turned snorting into a lifestyle.
It is not necessary sometimes to argue especially when you know that you are right! Millions of people around the world today depend and rely on hearsay and the so-called Breaking News!
Hello.
We live in the most dangerous times in human history where disinformation and misinformation are the bedrock of manipulating the minds of people.
Going hip without feeling hippy keeps me all awake and informed, steadying me ten toes down unshaken by all the AI generated fakes around my world. It is important for me to check the source of all my news.
Trust me: she says, and he says… does not cut it for me.
Going hip without feeling so hippy
Imagined, remastered and tailor-made for me and for my personal consumption. You can join this chorus if you can figure it out!
Sometimes, I write for nobody but for Me, Myself and I.
Come on, let us go hip together now!
Whether these thoughts and words make sense to you is another topic for another day!
Going hip without feeling so hippy, is all there is in my mind for now.
Peace!
