Today we mourn the passing of a comic genius. I can’t count the times I’ve rattled off some joke or another that wasn’t first uttered by George Carlin.

He had a penchant for speaking the obvious yet making it known you didn’t know it was obvious to begin with. One of my favorite memories of him is from the live show I saw a couple years ago when he came through my home town. I got tickets for myself and my best friend and it had to be the funniest show I have ever seen.

George Carlin was known for speaking his mind about politics, energy, the world, people, pretty much any subject the felt like talking about. The most amazing thing, though was he had such an acute point of view on everything.

I consider him the ultimate cynic because everything you have ever thought about your neighbor, friend, wife, lover…he’s already come to terms with and has it recorded somewhere for you to laugh about.

He really will be missed. His comedy was always a treat and my 365 day calendar is going to be a little bit lonelier when it’s done. Goodbye George…nice knowing you.
