I heard the news today. Oh boy...
George Carlin, one of the greatest comedians (in my opinion) out there passed away recently. I'm going to miss the man who said seven words you couldn't say on tv (and said them on HBO, and one time said them in some state and was arrested for "disturbing the peace"!)
I never heard of George Carlin until my sophomore year in college (only a few years ago) at that time I was surrounded by extremely liberal hippies geologists and professors telling me I should live my life one way; then I had extremely conservative religious people telling me I should live my life another. IT WAS MAKING ME PSYCHOTIC! IT STILL MAKES ME PSYCHOTIC! Anyway, reading into some of his books and listening to his comedy acts on TV, it gave me a sense of great freedom as a person (and made me laugh my ass off)!
It made me feel that no matter what, we are in this bitter sweet symphony we call life. Love it or hate it. Love the people, hate the people. You live, you die. In the end nothing really matters, but laugh while you can! Not many famous people have shown it with so MUCH integrity like Carlin!
Rest in Peace George Carlin! You are the man! And even though using the F-word can be carried away a little bit in you're acts, your cussing (and seven-words-you-never-say-on-TV) still packs a nice punch that gives me a smile!
Many people like me will miss you man! Now you won't have to worry about your "stuff" or somebody "stealing" your car keys!
