freehugger

(ok, so this is acutally an old post i had from a different, long dead blog...but semi-note-worthy all the same)

yesterday i decided to walk home through the park for some hearty introspection and and observance of the lovely fall leaves instead of taking the subway--and good thing too! i would have missed my chance at a free hug. on the corner of 72nd and Amsterdam was a girl giving out free hugs. i mean real-live hugs--for FREE! my "WTF?" moment quickly became an anxiety-ridden self-assesment: maybe i was the EXACT kind of disconnected humanoid robot addicted to her twitter and myspace that this girl was trying to save. but then maybe not and this fruit just needed to get off the damn street. side note: i investigated further...and guess what? not one but two (at least) "free hug" hugger groups out there....saving the world one hug at a time: www.freehugcampaign.org and www.free-hugs.com.
put down the Crackberry and hug someone.
