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

"Today a young man on acid realised that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. We are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively and we are the imagination or ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather!"
"See, I think that it would be better if families took mushrooms and tripped together. Relaxed, loving families that just wanted to explain how the universe works to each other...sound good to anyone else? Just picture it...'You see son, there is no such thing as death, it is only illusion that we are seperate beings, we are in fact one mind and soul just in this moment. There is no future and no past,only now and now is the only time that matters'...you see? Just a better world man"
"Know what I think? Use terminally ill people as stuntmen.What? I'm sensing some anger towards that idea. Why? Cruel? Really? I think cruel is leaving your loved one to die alone in a sterile hospital room surrounded by strangers. THAT is cruel man...f--- that, put 'em in the movies...what? You want your grandmother to die in a bed, tubes in her arms, delerious from painkillers, afraid because you're not there with her for her final moments as she departs to something better? Or do you want her to meet Chuck Norris? Why deny her that right?"
