For the sake of argument...I'll say 1978 was the Year of The Great Decline when men first began being ensnared in the miasma known as "Finding your Feminine Side".
Jump forward to today when we have Presidents who can't make a decision, Congressmen that can only stomp their feet and say "No" to everything, studies showing that average penis length is decreasing, studies showing delayed puberty for boys while girls are maturing earlier than ever.
Hell, men are even watching "Dancing with the Stars"!
Thirty plus years of learning to be sensitive combined with that damn estrogen laden soy that fills every food product we eat and it's only a matter of a few more years before men will actually look like a Ken doll.
Excuse me while I go pee in the yard.
Someone has to make a stand.

Don't leave out chlorinated hydrocarbons (male sterility) and hormones in cow milk (early development of girls).

the new age thing was all about wish fulfillment and fantasy, along with supposedly channeled information from "higher" spiritual beings. if i just visualize this or that and repeat these affirmations i can get anything i want. people made their careers off of this nonsense, and i guess they still do just in smaller numbers. the idea that "higher" spiritual beings have much meaningful to say about life on earth, where you have to get your hands dirty to get along is highly doubtful.

Dudes!
The spectrum from SNAG to being a total harda** leaves lots of room in between.
Doug was, as some of you know, a totally kick-a** climber and rabble rouser. In the appropriate settings and circumstances, he was also the most loving and tender guy to have for a husband, lover, and team mate in mind playing, not to mention honest and just a super all-round man. But there is no doubt he was still the Captain of our ship, and I was the science officer and flower-arranger. :) Step up to the responsibilities, sure, but also enjoy the flowers, please.
We are not all the same. Actually, no two of us are the same, each of us is unique. Camomile or that icky stuff from Scandanavia some of you drink (Jagermeister??) . . . it is all fine. Tea type does not define anyone. Lighten up and be who you are, honestly, and be happy with yourself. And do not let women terrorize or intimidate you, because that is not the road to a good life. And women, do not let men terrorize or intimidate you either. Find some balance, please.
You are all such great guys, and although I often laugh at the antics here, I have found most of you rock jocks to be truly decent and good people, so thanks for that. {{{hugs}}} I am not a guy, and not a Snag, just a femme who likes rocks and boulders, and most guys, no matter if they are SNAGs or HardA**es. :) Just so they have integrity a sense of humor.
Okay, now go do something remarkable and unique, create some beauty or at least a good story, and don't forget to laugh at the park patrol trolls trolling for your cash.
Peace,
and also {{{hugs}}}

I'm impressed by a woman who can pee in the yard.
Of course they can't spell their name in the snow for sh#t.
That's how I know god is a MAN!

If you have seen G*d's name in pee in the snow, I want to see the photos. Wow!
We femmes usually pee in the forest, not in the yard. Nor do we sign our work.

if i just visualize this or that and repeat these affirmations i can get anything i want.--from Binks
Back in the seriously silly seventies the North Facers were intimidated into approaching the theory of actualization, the highest of the levels of Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
"As Abraham Maslow noted, the basic needs of humans must be met (e.g. food, shelter, warmth, security, sense of belongingness etc.) before a person can achieve self-actualization - the need to be good, to be fully alive and to find meaning in life. Research shows that when people live lives that are different from their true nature and capabilities, they are less likely to be happy than those whose goals and lives match. For example, someone who has inherent potential to be a great artist or teacher may never realize his/her talents if their energy is focused on attaining the basic needs of humans."---Wiki
So what the elfin person from the forest says is true about the desiderata of the New Age Guy. It shows we are basically good, and we AIN'T GONNA DIE till we find some meaning in life, or die trying.
Or take a grounder
and end up living in a homeless camp;
but it's not LIKE Camp 4, not a bit--well, maybe some, at times--
and so you just give the f*#k up
and huck yer bones off some crag
after polishing off yer last Keystone Show-Me-the-Light Beer.
Or ale, if you prefer.
Just don't offer me herbal tea.
It affects my aura horribly.
Chamomile or sassafrass,
STick them both up your...
This prairie fire of attitude adjustment in The North Face happened as a direct result in our company's involvement in THE NEW AGE EXPOSITION in San Francisco. We had to sell the new age-y dome tent which Bruce and Bruce had designed, the Oval Intention. We sold thousands upon thousands, so that might have helped to have that booth in there at the hall.
I went with my spouse and I came away stunned at all the BS! I thought living in Berkeley was super-cool, but that New Age iceberg reaches depths you can't believe!
If you're not organic, please leave.
If you're not green, don't bother.
If you chew gum, get lost.
If you DARE smoke in front of me, you'll regret it.
And put this tie-dye back on.
