^Something I wrote to a friend caused him to say, "that reminded me of Mr. george carlin. I needed that. thanx". I have never been so honored in my life as to be compared to George Carlin. Not his humor, but his way of thinking. I need to write a tribute to him. His outlook on things – his way of thinking; he is my personal hero and influenced me in so many ways. Thank you George Carlin – thank you for being there for the boy I was, that helped shape the man I am today, and the man I will become tomorrow. Your impact was indeed incalculable.^
