It's just a ride...

and we can change it any time 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 door, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. -Bill Hicks

The Ride

Merging on to the Information Superhighway with my left blinker on, I humbly present 'The Ride'. Please bear with me as I transfer some of my ramblings, observations and thoughts from old school spiral notebooks to my first blog...

Demotivators


Now that they have been around for several years I think some of the true satirical genius behind Demotivators has been forgotten.

The comedic, quasi-subversive perspective which has given us Demotivators, Bill Lunbergh and Michael Scott brings a smile to my face. Admittedly, this perspective is overly mainstream but it does a pretty good job of taking the piss out of the corporate lackie subculture.

Check them all out. There's even a do it yourself section...

"A poor man shames us all..."

This quote is from one of my favourite books of all time:
The Millennium Project: Tribal Wisdom in the Modern World by the late David Maybury-Lewis.

The book is a fantastic read and challenges the reader to consider and apply wisdoms of contemporary tribal populations to our Western experience.

Reading this book always make me think about what sorts of tribal wisdom our First Nations possess and what could be done with it.
