Author: Hello and welcome to my brand new, all singing, all dancing, shiny new blog!
Dig it, fuckers!
I’m the northlondonhippy, the “biggest internet celebrity you’ve never heard of”, but not for much longer!
The relaunch of my blog is just the first step in my world wide web domination! I’ve got big plan to take over the world and your life.
Just leave everything to the hippy and all will be very cool!
I’m not new to blogging, far from it. I’ve been at this for nearly 2 years and over 400 posts. So what?
So I ain’t no fucking amateur, you get me? I know a thing or two about blogging.
I also know a lot about sex, drugs, rock & roll and life, but more on that later.
My OLD BLOG is no more. I’ve stopped writing there and from today onwards, all of my new posts will go onto this brand spanking new page, designed and administered by my younger brother.
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Blogger for providing me a host and home for nearly 2 years. It’s not that I don’t love Blogger, because of course, I do, but we’ve grown apart recently.
We’ve gone in different directions, we’re just not the same blogger and host/interface we used to be. We’re parting as friends, we’ll stay in touch and my archive will always be on Blogger as a reminder of days gone by.
If my clever younger brother has his way, my archive will also be imported into this blog. Groovy! You can get down with the old hippy and brush up on your hippy history!
You see, I’m the hippy you all adore…
Because I am a complete media whore!
Read a bit of my blog and you’ll play into my hands
Because I’ll convert you all into hippyfans!
You see, I’m living that hippy life so you don’t have to! Imagine all the money I save you on drugs and whores! I’m doing you a real favour here!
That’s true you know, in everything I do, I’m doing it just for you!
This hippy is all about truth and I’ll never lie to you. Some of the truths I’ll share won’t be pretty, about myself, about our world, about everything!
Here’s a truth for you: Today is my birthday! No shit, fuckers! I hold nothing back!
So it is somewhat appropriate that my hippy rebirth is happening on the same day as my 43rd birthday.
Yep, I’m forty-fucking-three years old! And I bet you thought you stumbled upon some teenager’s blog. Well, think again, fuckers!
My arrested adolescence continues unabated. I’m the Id to everyone else’s Super-ego! I’m the great corruptor and prince of all things fun! I say and do all the things you wish you could!
And I get away with it!
Would you like to know how I’m going to spend my birthday today? Of course you would!
Well, I’m off from work today. I’m actually off quite a bit, probably more than I’m actually working. I work shifts, mainly overnight and that helps me to live my wild and wacky lifestyle.
It’s nearly 10am on a Thursday; I’m not even dressed. I’m smoking a juicy, skunky spliff and it’s not my first this morning. In around an hour, I’m going to start taking PURPLE OHMS, which are one of a new class of legal highs, based on natural ingredients. After that, I hope to be off my face for the remainder of the day.
This, my first blog entry in my brand new blog, will be the only productive thing I accomplish all goddamn day! And not only am I not ashamed of this, I’m actually quite proud!
I work damn hard and damn often, I also put a lot of time into outside projects that I’m writing!
You see, my view is simple; you can’t be labelled a failure if you’re still trying! Though I’m a middle-aged nobody, I haven’t given up on doing something really cool with my life.
I’ve already done lots of cool things; my career so far has been peppered with coolness. If I told you what I did for a living, you would think it was cool, but it’s not cool enough!
I’ve got books inside me, feature films, tv series, you name it. Just gimme some money and I’ll show you what this hippy can do!
In the mean time, I’ll just keep quietly plugging along. For a confirmed drug addict, I work far more than you would expect. I’m wasted, but I’m no waster!
Today’s my birthday, I’m entitled to be unapologetically self-indulgent!
Even the UK government is down with the hippy today and are providing me with a little birthday gift!
The home secretary, Charles Clark is to announce that after reviewing the situation, cannabis (this hippy’s favourite substance) is to remain a “Class C” drug! This is good news! Read it RIGHT HERE!
But not great news, no; great news would be that it was legal! In my dreams! Maybe yours too!
So happy birthday to me! Welcome to my new blog! Dig it, fuckers!
