carlin LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Comedian George Carlin, a counter-culture hero famed for his routines about drugs and dirty words, died of heart failure at a Los Angeles-area hospital on Sunday, a spokesman said. He was 71.  Carlin, who had a history of heart and drug-dependency problems, died at Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica about 6 p.m. PDT (9 p.m. EDT) after being admitted earlier in the afternoon for chest pains, spokesman Jeff Abraham told Reuters. Known for his edgy, provocative material, Carlin achieved status as an anti-Establishment icon in the 1970s with stand-up bits full of drug references and a routine called "Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television." A regulatory battle over a radio broadcast of the routine ultimately reached the U.S. Supreme Court. In the 1978 case, Federal Communications Commission vs. Pacifica Foundation, the top U.S. court ruled that the words cited in Carlin's routine were indecent, and that the government's broadcast regulator could ban them from being aired at times when children might be listening. Carlin's comedic sensibility often came back to a central theme: humanity is doomed. "I don't have any beliefs or allegiances. I don't believe in this country, I don't believe in religion, or a god, and I don't believe in all these man-made institutional ideas," he told Reuters in a 2001 interview. Carlin, who wrote several books and performed in many television comedy specials, is survived by his wife Sally Wade, and daughter Kelly Carlin McCall.

haha woah. pretty close You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you. You never give up, and you will succeed... even if it takes you a hundred tries. You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It’s easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don’t stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are loving, compassionate, and ruled by your feelings. You are able to be a foundation for other people... but you still know how to have fun. Sometimes your emotions weigh you down, but you generally feel free from them. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You’re always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can’t handle you. You’re very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you’re likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You are very charming... dangerously so. You have the potential to break a lot of hearts. You know how what you want, how to get it, and that you will get it. You have the power to rule the world. Let’s hope you’re a benevolent dictator! You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are deeply philosophical and thoughtful. You tend to analyze every aspect of your life. You are intuitive, brilliant, and quite introverted. You value your time alone. Often times, you are grumpy with other people. You don’t appreciate them trying to interfere in your affairs.

Do...?
Current mood: bored

You've told so many tales.
And believed them to be true.
But tell me.
Do your stories keep you warm at night?
Or do they leave you cold and empty?

You sold your soul to the devil.
In hopes you can get away.
Yet here it is strong and true
To haunt your every moment.
So tell me.
Do your stories still keep you warm at night?
Do you still believe they will save you
When all else fails?

Remember
Current mood: bored
Category: Writing and Poetry

i'll always remember
the walks in the night
the look in your eyes
your laughter shinning bright.

the touch of your hands
sweet as any sin
the feel of  you lips
light on my skin.

strength in you arms
like a corded velvet rope.
and inside my mind
it holds a small hope.

that inside your heart
you still yearn for me
for inside mine
only your love can set me free.

Hardest Thing...
Current mood: bored
Category: Writing and Poetry

the hardest lesson in life
was loving you.
wanting you more
than one ever should.
needing your arms
like a velvet robe.
a blanket of warmth
to protect from the cold.

the hardest lessong in life
was loving enough to let you go.
through rain soaked tears
i had to watch you leave.
dying to give you a reason
a reason to want to stay.

but now all thats left to learn
is to go on without you.
to let the memories
of kisses in the rain
you arms so sure.
shared laughter
remain memories.
the hardest lesson now
is to stop loving you.

To...

To you I am nothing more than a vessel.
A means to satisfy your carnal needs.
Your sanctuary on cold lonely nights.
A cheap thrill when your lust
Was beyond your control..
An advisor you didn't heed.

I can never be more than this to you
Because you killed all that lied within me.
The passion I once felt for you
Has faded to distaste.
And that touch that at one time
Meant so much is only another stab in the dark.

To you I am nothing more than
The wall you yell at when upset.
Repairable, replaceable.
Yet I'm not.
I'm still cracked and broken.
I can no longer look at you in pride
Only in disgrace.
To you I am the hollow place
You run to hide in.

But to me you were everything
And yet you have become
Nothing more than a shadow.
A shadow of the man who once
Held my world in his hands.

To me you are the means to an end
That was long in coming.
Disposable, replaceable
Tho I must thank you
For if it wasn't for you
Id still be wondering in a pointless direction.

To me you were my stepping stone
A starting point of a real life.
Without you I would still be
The overlooked one hiding
Hiding in the back corner.

To you I was your harlequin
To me you are forgettable.

another untitled (not edited yet)

broken beyond repair
that is what you said i was.
it is your doing
wuth all your lies
not only in your words
but your actions.
a clever deception.

can you blame the thoughts
the ones of your harm
they burn so strongly
images of your haunted sleep
aid my rest
a wonderful slumber.

the cascade of tears
that flooded forth from the emptiness
the hole you duh
my hearts final grave
a shower of dirt
a beautiful symphony.

resting eternally peaceful
while the wind carries the screams
forever singing in your ears
your eyes haunted by memories
your final destiny
a sweet death.

Untitled (hopeless one lol)
Current mood: bored

For once in my life
I wished on a falling star.
And  you were my wish.
To feel the touch
That branded my soul.
Trace the lines
I've longed to know.
Remembering the sound
Of your laughter so sweet.
And how your eyes
Light up the heavens at night.
I can see you so clearly
So perfect in mind.
And for once in my life
I made a wish.
A wish for something
I can never have.

Have you ever..... (just a random thought and alot of unaswered questions *sigh*)

Have you ever watched someone you love grow older and older before your eyes? Watching as day by day they waste even farther away. Being able to do nothing more than remind them of what it is like to be young. Asking yourself constantly why do they keep you around? Is it because when they look at you they have memories of a time long past? Or is it something more? Is it as hard on them as it is on you?

So much to wonder and never any helpful answers. It rips at the heart like a barbed knife. To watch them stumble and fall. Have dizzy spells that make them collapse as if the weight of the world has finally struck them down.

Witch’s pale

They called her a whore
Demonized her name
Kicked at her and spat
Treated her just the same.

A servant of satan
They declared her to be
Sworn that to cross her
Would set your soul free.

Never realizing that alone in the night
She laid herself open with the same bloody knife
That she used the day
She saved the poor farmers wife.

Not once did they stop to ask
About her lifes tale
For in their eyes
She wore the witch's pale.
