she seems pretty reasonable on the psychotherapy vs. medication axis.

[5/25/13 6:51:51 PM] david schriger: I have a psychiatrist friend who seems pretty reasonable on the psychotherapy vs. medication axis [she is not hell-bend on solving this problem by sedating you into nothingness].  I am sure she would take a reasonable fee but would not do charity.  Should I pursue this?
[5/27/13 2:18:08 PM] hippie lou: pls asap. :)

Have to hear the story of the physical (and clearly internal) changes from 2003 to today.

That could answer the missing Y or why.

Hippie Lou,

Well OK, when, where? I will finish at my office @6:30., midtown east and can come meet you. We know why, who, and what already. I think you had an idea about a place in the village. something about coffee. That could answer the missing Y or why. Let me no.

Would you please bring the nail polish you used in ur photo? I'd like to apply it while I drink coffee so I can see it while I play guitar.

I learned to be a good listener from her .

Hey Hippie "David" Lou
Just wanted to send you a message thanking you immensely for introducing me to your friend. I have been interning for her this summer helping her draw for an animation about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and it has been really awesome so far. She's very nice and understanding, and it's been so much fun working with her. Thank you again!
Mama also let me know that you've been having some troubles recently. Nothing to be ashamed of or anything, I just wanted to let you know that you have dr. zoink and mine's support if you ever need anything. And Mama obviously cares about you greatly, so don't be afraid to reach out to her for help or someone to talk to. I learned to be a good listener from her . Don't forget about your agency! Ask mama if you don't understand, it's from my depression books haha.
Hope to see you soon!

Thanks Hippie Lou, without you I wouldn't have the particle accelerator for opening the wormhole.

we´re all orbits in space...

:-)))) I believe it --- your life has needed some change --- that´s already a good thing ... so you´ll where this leads you to .... we´re all orbits in space... drifting along.... xoxo

How thy goeth, hermano?

How goes life, HippieLou? I thought of you today after my college son said he did not elevate his grades enough to respond to his academic warning. He must leave his school, go to a city college, improve his grades then apply to be reinstated. I think his school does not support his strengths. In fact I think he should t go to school yet but, rather, seek his passion. I have ideas of what that would look like but at 21 his job is to forge ahead without me. I think outside the box better than he. He pushes, even if his own round self into the proverbial square hole. He returns home today. 
How thy goeth, hermano?

It doesn’t make the people in the spaceship—you, me, or Kaisha—bad.

Hello Dear,

I hope this letter finds you well and enjoying the spring weather—I know that the blossoms must be out on the cherry tree on the front lawn. And I hope your girls on the lacrosse team are doing well, if you’re still doing that.

I want to let you know that I got my motorcycle out of storage at the end of March and I’ve been trying to get my skills back slowly but surely, so that I can ride longer and longer distances. But every time I get on it, I think of you, and the good times we had together and will hopefully have in the days soon to come.

I wanted to send you this letter for a couple of reasons. The first one is that, as you know, I recently submitted a filing in New York State Court regarding the dissolution of our marriage. And I never wanted to write down or share with anyone, much less the state of New York, the stories that are contained in that filing. I didn’t want to do that because, though I feel that the things listed in that document happened, they don’t really give a full picture of our relationship and our marriage and our love and the beautiful elements of the time that we had together, or the reasons that we had to separate and chart a new course for our lives—both independently and together.  It’s just one extremely narrow sliver.

Now that I have had the benefit of a substantial period of time since 2007 and 2008, my take on things is that the institution of marriage was a spaceship that served us very well for a long time, if I can be loose with my metaphors. But as life and the environment around us changed, and as I changed, that spaceship didn’t function as well. I don’t think it served either of us as well. At least, I can say that it ceased being a good method of travel through this life and through the universe for me. And I needed a new spaceship to travel on.

It doesn’t make the people in the spaceship—you, me, or Kaisha—bad. I’m convinced, and I know this because you taught me this through my relationship with my parents and my family, that I love you and that I will always love you. And I have a pretty strong suspicion that you love me. I know this because I experienced your love and I experience it now. I send my love out to you through the universe, and I have a feeling you experience it, as well. I’m very hopeful that we can find a new spaceship to be able to connect and share our love in a new way, an exciting way, and a way that works for both of us. And I have a good feeling that it will happen, because I know better than anyone—and I know you know that I know better than anyone—how devastating and painful and toxic a prolonged separation is from people who love you and are attached to you through love and having kids or parents. I don’t think we were meant to be apart, in a physical sense. And I’m going to continue to work and hope and dream that we can find a new way to continue to be a family and to love each other outside the institution of marriage. I’m going to continue to work in that direction and I’ve instructed my attorney and all those around me to continue to work in that direction. I will keep on doing that until the day I pass from this earth.

So I wanted you to know that. And, as I said, I can’t imagine what you’ve gone through in the last year-and-a-half. I can’t imagine what Kaisha has gone through, but it has been very difficult. But I wouldn’t be trying to build a new spaceship if I didn’t think it was better for me, and ultimately for all of us, and I will continue to work in that direction. The difficult part of that is to work on deconstructing the old spaceship. We’ve been intertwined in the institution of marriage, and also in love and our family affairs and our financial affairs—in all affairs for the last twenty years. And untangling those and re-sorting them and putting them back together again in a new way is a very difficult process. I understand that. I know it’s difficult for me, and I can understand that it’s probably difficult for you and Kaisha. And I’m committed to working towards it in a constructive way.

I actually do have a good imagination combined with healthy pragmatism, street smarts, and common sense.

Dear Hippielou,

I am so moved! ;-)

You sound like you would be very interesting to get to know, and I would love to hear from you.

You know the basics about me from my profile, so I won't go into them here, but my favorite things to do include (oh no, I am about to start with ... ) long walks, blah blah blah, oh I am going to make myself sound so unimaginative. Which is not at all what I am, I actually do have a good imagination combined with healthy pragmatism, street smarts, and common sense.

Anyway, like I said, I would love to hear from you if you think there might be some chance of new friendship or whatever between us. Thanks for visiting my profile, and all the best to you, no matter what!

My state thinks you are amazing
Sister not state!

thank you, fiona. can i encourage you to put a new picture of yourself up on your profile? people will send you all sorts of beautiful messages. peace with kind regards, hippie lou

There will be no further discussion of Mr. Hippie Lou for I find it useless.

Dear Anyway Cafe Friends!
I'd like to explain the situation with Mr. Hippie Lou. Wednesday night, July 4th Mr. Lou dropped the "N" word for black people a few times. It was mean spirited, disrespectful and simply racist. In his post bellow Mr. Lou says Freedom of Speech. But I don't think it gives you freedom to offend people!!
I do apologize to everybody who were at the Anyway that night and witnessed the whole scene. For I did use a foul language while escorting Mr. Lou out the doors. I guess I could do it more gracefully but I just lost my cool... Or maybe I was exercising my freedom of speech?..

Truly yours, Natasha Stolichnaya.

P.S. There will be no further discussion of Mr. Hippie Lou for I find it useless.



first amendment to the constitution.

you left your country to come here because [perhaps?] we [supposedly] have these things called rights.

neo-nazis have the right to march through jewish neighborhoods... (google skokie illinois if ur interested)

you can quote dostoyevsky, but u don't know the first thing about us.

go fukk urself, n-word.

what the next generation needs is a good education in economics PLUS an indenpendcy in their minds

what´s so antiquated about doing a job for money - honestly speaking David!?
you dont have to do this forever
wd4377
nothing antiquated...i bid on a big job, just did the final conference call yesterday...i like our chances...
if we get it, i'll be in the money
it's not a small job
tessa
aha -
but you shouldnt change and sell your mind !!!!!!!!
xoxo
wd4377
and i will write a proposal for another company this weekend...
no, i'm not selling my mind
went through to much pain to get here, to be free of that thing...
tessa
good.
wd4377
i'm very excited about my new life
tessa
All I wanted to say: in order to live your "independent" life you need some financial backing
otherwise you slip into annother depedency ....
you know what I am tryinig to say?
wd4377
right...i can envision a time when i could, if i chose, live like johnny appleseed
tessa
hahaha
wd4377
but to change the world, i'd like to try to change it from both sides...to start the new world, and to try to bring the old world a little closer to the new...
tessa
why don´t you go into teaching - you´d be perfect in this .. esp. for being unconventional
I am serious
what the next
generation needs
is a good education in economics PLUS
wd4377
i plan to teach...one of my goals is to start an "open source" university
tessa
an indenpendcy in their minds
wd4377
thank you for saying that
tessa
otherwise they wont be able to solve this major issues
wd4377
yes...they come out of college so desperate now, hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt...
tessa
right
wd4377
they immediately have to go work at a job they hate...
tessa
why dont you - just to see what happens- apply for a teaching job
just as an experiement
wd4377
employers know they are desperate...
tessa
did you read what I just wrote DaRe??
wd4377
i would like to start classes in the e. village...
tessa

wd4377
yes, i read it!
tessa

wd4377
i don't want to teach at a university, or if i did, perhaps several...
tessa
good
wd4377
but want to start classes, maybe in the basement of a church in the east village...
tessa
dont say I dont want - just apply and see what happens
wd4377
where little kids and older ppl can come if they want...
tessa
ok
this sounds very good, too.
wd4377
i don't like the exclusivity of the big universities...
tessa
that´s not the point.
wd4377
i want ppl in class who want to learn!
why isn't it the point?
tessa
if youwant to change basics, you cannot just work by a grass-root approach Dr. W.
wd4377
right, i have to work from both ends...
is that what you're saying?
tessa
exactly ))))))))))))))
wd4377
oh my god!
eureka!
tessa
otherwise no paradicmatic shift
haha
wd4377
consultants killed that word...
tessa
no consultancy
wd4377
oh my god...never want to hear paradigm or synergy ever again in my life
tessa
I dont tak the consultancy language
wd4377
right, u talk the language of truth
tessa
we can also speak about Kondratiefsche circles .*ggg
wd4377
i must look those up
u see every day's a school day
tessa
all I said you need to go into the lion´s cave .. as we say hear
to change something for the mass
wd4377
hmmm, i have to think about that
tessa
and - different to most people - you´ve got all the prerequisites!
pls do so!
wd4377
ok!  thanks for advising me and having an interest, really appreciate it...
tessa
why the okupy movement didnt make any fundamental changes???
wd4377
u r a good friend
tessa
hope so .. youß´re my best US friend
wd4377
they didn't have a better plan...
tessa
plus no strategic idea
plus not enough knowledge about economy
plus not enough support from above
wd4377
u must have a better mousetrap...
no one from above is going to support a change in the status quo
tessa
now think about it:
where should have been your place if you were their leader?
down there in their tents
or with a suit and a tie talking to CEOs???
wd4377
one thing i liked about it was that it was a leaderless movement...
one thing i know is that ceo's don't want change...
i know that in my bone marrow...
to try to get them to change is folly
tessa
some do... but they are stuck in their system
we need to discuss this in detail when we meet this year -
either here or in NY
wd4377
yes!
i would really love that...
but you have inspired me...
for the weekend....
i thank u
sorry, did i lose you?

Blue? like em Lou!
