Goodbye George


I don't like watching the news and I don't watch a lot of the celebrity news shows, so I was very surprised and then sad when I saw that George Carlin had died.

The first routine I remember was "Stuff". I laughed my head off. It was all so true. I listening it to it right now. I have it on my i-pod. I know my co-workers think I'm crazy when they walk by my office and I'm smiling or giggling.

I remember a routine he did about golf courses and writing a complaint letter. I now call them "George Carlin Letters". I going to have to find that routine .

That was George. He took real situation and broke them down to funny. But he was also a very wise man. The quote to the left caught my eye one day. He could really say things simply with a very complex meaning.

His talent wasn't just comedy, it was making you laugh and think at the same time.

I'll miss you George.
