It's Just A Ride

Been listening to a lot of Bill Hicks lately.

Here's the thing about Bill Hicks that a lot of people know: Bill Hicks came off often as an angry individual. Here's a thing that may have been less obvious: Bill Hicks didn't want to be an angry individual.

Hicks saw a lot of beauty in the world, or at least he tried to. If his act is anything to go by, he found it hard to deal with the things he didn't find beautiful.

Now, see, that's a viewpoint that I can feel a kinship with.

There's a lot of wonderful stuff here in the world, but I've been having a rough time trying to engage with it.

So I watched the following clip. It's just a ride, folks.
