Technohippies are a breed of their own. They are not malicious, but only interested in the way things work. They have a broad wisdom of many different technologies. Ignorance and hatred is looked down upon by the technohippy. The technohippy embraces the environment and will do as much as they can to protect it and help it flourish. All in all, a technohippy is a philosophically-open eccentric geek.

Or is it a state of ohshitohshitIhavenothingtodo!
I feel I may be pondering this for a while.
Although, I am leaning towards the latter…
I wonder what personal projects I could do that would count towards the project time…
I’m on a roll today…

I have way too many books
I wont ever get rid of most of these books
A little bit of land is all I ask.
Just a small place to call my own,
where I can put down roots, so deep
so deep,
that great-grandchildren still will
call it home.
Is it so much to ask?
a lane of trees,
bringing birdsong and colored leaves,
a grape arbor, the roses beyond,
sweet lilacs holding in their arms,
