I've thought of something.
We're all wonderfully individual people, yes? And by that individuality, we all have different tastes.
We also, as people, have experiences that we would love to share with others. Our lives are just one great big experience, and we can learn much from studying our own lives.
So... tell me. Is there something you want everyone to do? Listen to a piece of music? Visit somewhere? Talk to someone, ask them anything? Have sex? Watch a film? Read a book? Play a game? Anything! If you loved the experience, then why not share it with us, and try and convince us to do what you did.
And anyone who reads it, I think, should make every effort to do so. Hell, we live just the once, right? So why shouldn't we try and sample everything we can?
Come on then, what do you want us to do?
(First: "Shut up?")
(Second: "Oh! I was going to write that!")

This has been an excellent topic to get involved in.
And purely from my viewpoint, I'm really really pleased that some of you have listened to Bill Hicks.
Hicks is my absolute hero.
He died in 1994 aged 32 from pancreatic cancer.
This world lost one of the truly original and unique voices in comedy when he left.
He wasn't just about jokes, he tried to get people to see that life is not about chasing money/house/job/kids that look like kids etc, but an experience to be savoured every single day of your life.
He always finished his act with this piece (transcript from the "Revelations" video):
-----
"The world is like a ride in an amusement park.
And when you choose to go on it, you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are.
And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while.
Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question, is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "hey - don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride..."
And we... kill those people. "
"Shut him up."
"We have a lot invested in this ride. Shut him up. Look at my furrows of worry. Look at my big bank account and my family. This just has to be real."
Just a ride.
But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that?
And let the demons run amok. But it doesn't matter because: It's just a ride.
And we can change it anytime we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money. A choice, right now, between fear and love.
The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one.
Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride.
Take all that money that we spend on weapons and defences each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace."

Thanks to anyone that downloaded some Hicks, if you want a CD of more of his stuff then let me know, I'm always trying to get his stuff out to more people.
And thanks for recommending some new stuff tonight, it's always a good thing to experience things.
Peace

Hmmm, read the poem, know where it's coming from, but I feel I can be myself much more now, more than ever.
Still cool though.

Go see a band that you love play live.
Dance, and don't care if people look at you funny.
Smile if you want to, even if everyone else is glum.
I like this thread. Grix rules.

But they're a bit wider... :D
Make a coffee, with a very small amount of milk and some sugar...
Now get some spray cream...
Spray the cream on and spiral it up high... now see how much of the coffee you can drink without making the cream 'fall off'!
------------------------------------
Try a new hairstyle...
I have and it looks so good...
I have a flick at the front, short back and sides and the sides are halfway down my ears and they go diagonally at about 45 degrees... like so... providing it works
