"This Is Just A Ride."

"The world is like a ride at an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it, you think its real because thats how powerfull our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills, and its very brightly coloured , and its very loud and its 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! Dont worry, dont be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride.'

And we kill those people.

"Shut him up! I've got 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 has to be real."

It's just a ride. But we always kill those few guys that try to tell us that, you ever notice that? and let the demons run amuck. but it doesn't matter cuz it's just a ride and we can change it any time we want. Its only a choice, no effort, and no worries, no job, no savings of money. Just a choice right now between Fear and Love."
-Bill Hicks

Doesn't anyone read anymore. Fuck. Anyone who's seen Zeitgeist knows, anyone who knows Bill icks, anyone who takes three minutes to read the video's description can see this is a TRIBUTE, not and original.

[superfrodies]

thank you :)

[NeoCritical]

this was a nice tribute, but i kinda have a problem with people thinking you wrote it.

[superfrodies]

me too. its not like i didn't post the quote on the description and site him as the source. not to mention say that he was the sole inspiration behind the video. not to mention all of these ----> pop up on the side.

Wow, ironic it is that I find this only a few months later after hearing Bill Hicks' original comedy wrap-up bit. Those are words that will always stay with me, from the first time I heard them.

Very nice take on it, more serious than his at the "shut him up!" parts. Almost Pulp Fiction/Fear and Loathing in LV style. Good work!

Nice. way to use the bright eyes intro, that shits real man. Go feel the spiritual vortex, it will make life less of a ride and more like a real journey towards an actual goal.

It is two months later and i restumble back onto this video and see my comment.. He does say "when you choose to" because we are one with god.. we are god... and up there with him we do choose to go on a ride... the ride being life...

[lifeformlifeform]

hehe fun angle on it

nice to see a totally realistic version of this

[archangul]

Excellent vid dude, I credit the effort to get this out more than the finished product.

However, Bill says "when you get on the ride" and not "when you choose to".. The point here is quite significant as we don't choose to get on the ride we are already on it. The first step is self awareness and the realisation that this is just a ride. Then comes choice, between fear and love.

Top vid man, nicely done.
