George Carlin

Hi everyone!!! It's Friday  right? Think is time to have a laugh. After all, has been quite a hectic week I guess. Well I'm one of those guys for whom, having a good sense of humor is very indispensable  Still remember my father's words "Denis, no matter what sh****t you get into, never loose your sense of humor !!", you can easily feel a dad's authority right there. Well I won't say that my Dad followed this rule, though. So whenever I told him "What about you Dad? Where is your sense of humor (He is quite a grumpy fellow and hardly ever smiles)?" he'd say something like "Don't do what I do, do what I say":-) crazy, right?

So having this idea of the importance of having a sense of humor  I was really into comedy stand ups. From Bill Cosby to Chris Rock. Then I came across a guy who in my opinion is and was simply "the funniest man on the planet" – George Carlin.

So as you might have understood already, wanna share some of my favorite shows with you guys today, as well as tell you a bit more about this guy. As usual I wouldn't go into a detailed description of his biography (I mean who am I kidding, all of you know Wikipedia  right?). Would rather tell you about the things I find fascinating about this gentleman and of course get into the things he made me think of. That's right, "think of", because not only was George (if I may) a master in making people laugh, he is also undeniably one of those people who could and I guess still can influence the way people think about the world they live in. Indeed, I reckon a few people of this caliber who can really change the world into a positive way. And since we are here to open up to a new perception of the world we live in, I guess it will only be fair to start with George Carlin.

The first show that I watched with George was this:

               Really made me laugh to tears.

Then I got to know the personality of this guy a bit better and faced a world of rebellion, change, character and what have you, all impersonated in one man, "George Carlin". I mean, there aren't many comedians out there who are as socially oriented as George. You'd say that there are actually a lot of them (absolutely agree with you), but none will talk about major institutions like education, politics, nutrition and even religion, the way George does it. Moreover, I can't think of anyone who'd do it with such a high level of skill. You guys must be thinking that here is another "fan boy" trying to create a fan site of some sort. Well you're wrong. Just have a look at this performance:

                                                           Quite smart, right?

And it goes on and on with George throughout his entire career. Even towards the end of his career in 2008 (when he died from persistent heart problem) he could still show off with stunts such as this:

                                                Already in his 70s!!! Still kicking it.

Don't want to cut a long story short here, so I will try to provide you guys with posts regarding the way George Carlin filled my live with some of the most amazing thought and feelings. Stay tuned, enjoy George Carlin!!!
