With George Carlin passing away a few days ago i've been watching as much as i can to remind me of awesome he was which lead me to watching more Bill Hicks who is always a reminder to not take life to seriously.
It's depressing when you think that there really are no comics left like this anymore, no more comics intent on breaking down that barrier between comedy and making people feel really fucking uncomfortable. I didn't know Bill Hicks before he died so it took me a while to find him but thank christ i did. It was only a matter of time really. I remember watching a stand up DVD while most of the people in the room sat in uncomfortable silence, i was peeled to the screen. I just wanted to watch and listen to everything this guy had to say. I wanted to talk to him and just talk about how he sees the world. Everything that flys out of his mouth is just fucking true. There are a few people in my life right now that i would love to sit down and psychically force to watch and pop their little safety bubble to show them that life isn't as serious as you would like to think it is.
I think this is the reason that i've been distancing myself from my friends. I don't find any that i have wonderful chats with any of them anymore, if there's something good on tv i'd rather stay home. If the choice is between going out, meeting with them, talking about what we're all doing, bitch and moan about the same old things, try and integrate and new line of conversation and then everything goes silent because no-one clearly wants to talk about shit as deep as that and then get bitched at for lighting up a cigarette OVER THE OTHERSIDE OF THE GODAMN OUTDOOR SMOKING GARDEN or on the flipside, staying home, watching some good film while painting, smoking weed alone out the back of my house....hmmm, tough choice. They all just need to really really get over themselves.
I think Bill would have alot of awesome stuff to say about the world today. I hope someone else steps up really soon. Someone else who can take the fucking piss out of everything and everyone.
I just feel like i'm the uncomfortable stain in the corner no-one wants to ask about. Fuck it, i'm just to awesome for them. And that's not just me trying to sound like i'm making myself feel better. That's the gods honest truth. I am just too fucking awesome.

ya, i've been a little depressed lately after Georges passing. i've looked forward to all his specials over the last 15 plus years, and have all his hbo and cds now. been cycling thru them. just aren't any truly intelligent comics that have anything to say anymore.
