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...

Gonzo goes Hollywood



Well...it's here. No, not The Dark Knight (though I admit I am quite interested in checking it out as well), Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson.

Check out Jay Stone's review here.

While I enjoyed both Where The Buffalo Roam and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas for different reasons, I am really looking forward to Gibney's take on the good Doctor...

For those of you in the 604, Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson is currently playing @ Tinsletown in Vancouver.

My review to follow...

Aloha Mahalo




I have just become familiar with this new search engine called Mahalo. Advertised as the first human powered search engine, Mahalo "creates organized, comprehensive, and spam free search results for the most popular search terms. Our search results only include great links." It's only been around for a year or so but there's some pretty great stuff on it if you start poking around. The layout is great and there's tonnes of media on it. Checkout Mahalo's entries for:

Hunter S Thompson

and

Bill Hicks

Always nice to find a new wave while surfing.

Aloha!
