About Me

"The world is like a ride in an amusment park and when you choose to go on the ride you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills, 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?" Other people have remembered and they come back and they say, "hey! Dont worry, dont be afraid, ever. Because this is just a ride." - Bill Hicks, 1961-1994
