Sad? Perhaps, but for me... it's the truth. The only person I've ever considered to be a hero passed away on June 22nd, and I don't know of anyone that can even begin to fill his shoes. But I know one thing, he sure wouldn't want anyone grieving over him. I know I'm not. Miss him, his wisdom, and his humor, absolutely, but grieve and mourn, hell no. Were he still alive, he'd rip you a new asshole for it.

And that's what made George Carlin one of the all time best human beings to have ever lived. He didn't care who you were, what you believed, where you were from, what color you were. If he didn't like someone or something, he would not only tear it, or you apart, but make you feel stupid and laugh at yourself at the same time.

Abortion, religion, censorship, children, feminists, conservatives, life and death... you name it, whatever topic it was, he'd not only attack it, but he'd obliterate it, then smirk and smugly walk off and nail some other topic people are too fuckin afraid of to talk, or even think about.

The first time I saw him on TV... yes, HBO, he was joking about farts. No one did better fart jokes than him. I was young, and I laughed till it hurt. I was a Carlin fan from that point on. I even got to see him perform at one of the casino's here a while back. He was amazing. And now, there is no one. No one even close. Whoopi Goldburg, maybe Robin Williams, but no one will ever be able to do what Carlin did.

So, with his passing, I thought I'd do a new journal, if anything to post (in my opinion) some of his finest performances. I compiled my own top 10 list of his works. They are in no particular order. Enjoy.



See ya George.
