"For anyone that takes life seriously."

Bill Hicks, my absolute hero and one of the greatest stand-up comedians of all time (he died at 32 of pancreatic cancer) used to use jokes to highlight the injustice, absurdity and plain stupidness of 95% of the world's population.
But he always finished his show with his belief and coda in life, which is something I make sure I remember daily and live by:

"Life is just a ride on an amusement park. It has many chills and spills, it is very brightly coloured and it's fun...for a while.
There are those that have gone on, and they come back to us and say 'Hey, it's just a ride, there's nothing to fear ever because it's just a ride'.

And we...kill those people! 'Shut him up! This has to be real, look at my bank account, look at my children, look at my furrows of worry..this has to be real'.
But it's just a ride.

And here's what we can do right now to change our world, just a choice. No money, no savings, no jobs, just a choice right here and now.
The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your door, stay inside and watch tv.
The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one and say 'Dont ever be afraid or scared because it's just a ride'.

Why can't we take all that money we spend on weapons and defence each year, trillions of dollars, and instead spend that money feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world? And then we can explore space, both inner and outer, forever. In peace.
It's just a ride folks...nothing more, just a ride."

So, just relax, dont worry about those exams, that job, which console is better, when you can buy the latest designer shoe for £80.
It's just a ride.

Peace

Ant, you wont know who I am but I have heard a lot about you and I think you have the right to know that Shocky is more of a Satanist than a Christian!

Ant, that thing about 'bible bashers' isn't anything.

I'm also a christian. Don't worry about it yeah?

Being a Christian isn't just about going to Church.....

*If you want to know what being a Christian is about, then....ah, what the hell, I'll tell ya*

It's having a relationship with God. You may go to Church all the time, and you may be able to say the Bible backwards, and you may have led a good life, but God won't know you unless you talk to him.....

Okie dokie it is. The atmosphere has turned to: a state of calm. AT BLOODY LAST.

So, you two, leave each other alone and just get on with one another.
