Stuff and More Stuff.

I heard it on my way to work this morning and knew suddenly that comedy will never again be the same. One of my all time favorite comedians, George Carlin, has died, I'm sure you've heard. I was deeply saddened. I wish I could have had the opportunity to have seen him perform live before he passed. I'd of loved to have sat, one on one with him and had a conversation about politics, religion, life. I found George Carlin to be brilliantly insightful and unabashedly honest. I was just listening to his bit on suff, and how houses are just a place to put all your stuff, remembering all the George Carlin stuff I've enjoyed over the years and feeling deeply pained that we'll never again hear the brilliance of his comedic genius when I read over at Tink's blog, about a video about stuff. A firm believer in synchronicity, and always following parallels when I come across them, I skipped on over there to watch it. I decided it was worth posting a link here. Thanks Tink!

Blogging from my death bed

I'm not really sure what virus, bacteria, or otherwise evil enchantment was the culprit, but something has rendered me virtually useless today. I have vomited until there is no more fluid left in my body. I know you wanted to hear all about that. Why am I risking certain death to be out of bed and upright? To tell you that my litter removal idea has taken off locally. I was not getting anywhere with you guys ;) (nudge, nudge) so I ventured over to the This is LaVergne blog... you've probably seen her link over on my blog-roll. It just so happened that the day I strolled there, she had an open-thread going, asking whats on our minds. Me, being the person that I am, spoke up and said that the garbage on the sides of the streets has been on my mind, and bam! The response has been tremendous. Now I'm getting emails, we're organizing a committee, setting up dates to clean up LaVergne, and networking. One person even chimed in with tips on how we can recycle the trash we pick up and then donate the proceeds to the local chapter of the Humane Society. AWESOME! Community in action. Just what I like to see. Oh, and guess who's been nominated as Chairperson of the Beautification Committee? Your very own, Fortune Cookies! Ok, so it's a made up committee, and a nomination made in jest, but hey, I take positive reinforcements anywhere I can get them ;) Here's the link to the thread, if you're interested.
And now, I'm going back to bed, hopefully I'll live to see my city litter free.
