Do I Look Like a Hippy?

Note: This is a post from when I was a senior at Baylor University. I looked a lot different then. I had a goatee and long hair.

Here is a conversation I had with Kyrian recently. You don't ever know when to believe what Kyrian says. He's never serious, but you know the saying, "Every joke has a hint of truth."

K: “You are a hippy dude.”
Me: “No! I’m not!”
K: “You are whether you know it or not.”
Me: “Why do you say that?”
K: “You’ve got the hippy hair and the attitude. And it looks like you’re not afraid of anything, which is awesome. And you’re just so happy and carefree.”
Me: “Just because I’m from Austin doesn’t make me a hippy. I’m religiously conservative. I eat meat. I don’t smoke pot.”
K: “You don’t! Man, I thought you did! You look like a pot smoker. The only difference is your eyes aren’t red.”
Me: “Okay. No one’s ever told me that before.”
K: “Hey doesn’t he look like he does drugs?”
Another guy: “Yeah. Nothing personal. But you do.”
K: “But he’s a God freak like you are.”
Another guy: “It’s the hair man.”
