It's been a slow week, lying around being sick at home the last few days is suprisingly exhausting.
Revising my studies, trolling forums, bumping 4pak, reading ngee and web window shopping .. y'know the usual tedious stuff,
but after reading Tib's entry i paused and thought, where and when have i been influenced? and then went back
to my tedious stuff :3 and dug up an old HBO special of George Carlin, life is worth losing, about three years before he died and
rediscovered one of my modern day heroes.
If he could be described in one word it would be, unforgiving. His comedy is not an easy listen and definately not impersonally
detached, it is fiercely provoking, almost insulting, dangerously nihilistic and outright hilarious. He takes no prisoners and pulls
no punch when he unleashes one of his legendary diatribes that are poetic in design, cruelly confronting and brilliant in execution.
And that has earned him a position no less than the second most loved comedian of our time, well not really our time .. he first
started performing 40 years ago but he is as relevant and updated as any other contemporary comedian.
So i present to you, George Carlin.
2:40 is about where it begins to roll.
note: This is likely to be one his more accessible rants. other topics discussed in life is worth losing include autoerotic-asphyxia, suicide tv channel and pyramid of the hopeless, all of which arent for most people.
