Hitchin' a ride and man what a role model

"No, wait...I'll tell you something," said Zaphod. "I freewheel a lot. I get an idea to do something, and, hey, why not, I do it. I reckon I'll become president of the galaxy, and it just happens, it's easy. I decide to steal this ship. I decide to look for Magrathea, and it all just happens. Yeah, I work out how it can be done, right, but always works out. Its like having a galacticredit card which keeps working though you never send off the checks. And then whenever I stop and think-why did I want to do something?-how did I work out how to do it?-I get a very strong desire just to stop thinking about it. Like I have now. Its a big effort to talk about it"

Yup Hitchhikers opens tonight and I've got to say that speech best sums up Nicks angst with lack of follow through. I mean if Brad had this attitude we would have a band of mopeds roving around wicker park like he raved about last summer. If Jason and Will read this there would be a food not bombs chapter running in Chicago like thay talked about 3 months ago. Nick you don't get off scott free either, come on start your hotdog stand, you'll make millions and I'll work for you. My till is always on. You'll corner the market, I mean all you have for competition are the guys that sell what look like giant orange funyons in those carts with bells on them. Follow through is so easy to ignore when inspired by lacadazia and the blows. Bring on the angry comments maybe it will spark a little commmmmmotion in the cellar. I'm going to rattle some cages peterson. We're not just going to sit back with your finger on the button. What button? Oh no what button? I'm too old. Speaking of follow through I put off finishing this book to the two hours between dinner tonight and the opening of the movie at niner.
