So I did return that good karma today (see last post). An elderly guy wanted a ride back to his car, which was miles away, and he only wanted to pay 5 bucks. Nobody wanted to do it, but I just said what the hell. Some of the other riders said they would take him as far as this road or that road, and i thought about doing that, but coming face-to-face with leaving an elderly guy not that familiar with the city on a street corner in Chicago at night just didn't sit well with me. It ended up being just about the longest ride I've ever given, but I was happy to do it because he was a really nice guy and a retired teacher.
Oh, and earlier that night I took a girl for a ride for 2 bucks just because I knew she was going to school for social work and would be broke her whole life. More good karma. Tomorrow I can kick some puppies.
Tomorrow I'm going to cut out of the rickshaw biz early to go see Bellator 25 (mixed martial arts) at the Chicago Theater. Get a look at the interview I did with Dan "The Handler" Hornbuckle. Easily the coolest, funniest, most down-to-earth guy I've interviewed thus far, and plus he likes to kick people in the face and he's an American Indian. He will be fighting at this event tomorrow.
Much love and good karma to all . . .

That was ONE HELL of a shot !
i totally believe in karma...i figure that i have to since im a decently nice person and things tend to work out in my favor if i give them enough time.
Heff: Yeah, and he won tonight, but no monster shots like that: a decision. He almost cried just like in that clip. I think it's because he feels honored to be fighting on behalf of his tribe.
Jover: You seem decently nice enough to me.
