Always Do Whatever's Next - Goodbye George Carlin

On June 22, 2008 my favorite comedien, George Carlin passed away. He was like an institution in my life. Kind of like a parent, he was always there, helping us along and makeing us smile. I assumed he would always be there, but to quote George himself , " Always do whatever's next. " And he's done just that.

My first memory of George, was watching him on the Smothers Brothers show, doing the Hippy Dippy Weatherman. I was prolly only 9 or 10 at the time, but I remember getting a good laugh from it. That just goes to show you what and off beat sense of humor I have, The Smothers Brothers and George Carlin, hooooo.

Over the years George always made me smile, it was the way he stepped right up to the line drawn in the sand, and sometimes he even put a foot or even both feet right over that line too. That is exactly why so many of us appreciated him, he just came right out and said it.

What amazed me is how eloquent he was with his words, he had such of a command of the English language, that it was hard NOT to be captivated by what he was saying, and laughing along with him at his many observations and saying, " He hit the nail right on the head. " And he did without batting an eye.

So I'm going to end this blog with some of my favorite George Carlin quote's, and thank him for bringing so many laughs and smiles into my life. I hope whatever it is you are doing next is joyful and peaceful. Many Blessings To You George.
