Alvaro Zinos-Amaro: Whatever's Next

We live in a fantasy world, a world of illusion. The great task in life is to find reality. - Iris Murdoch // The interplay of thought and imagination is far superior to that of muscle and sinew. - Isaac Asimov // The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience. - Emily Dickinson // A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving. - Lao Tzu // Do whatever you will, but first be such as are able to will. - Friedrich Nietzsche // The root of all superstition is that men observe when a thing hits, but not when it misses. - Francis Bacon // Face the facts of being what you are, for that is what changes what you are. - Soren Kierkegaard // The possible ranks higher than the actual. - Martin Heidegger //

Whatever's Next

George Carlin died yesterday in Santa Monica.

I'll miss the fucker. Fortunately, his work's gonna be around for a long time.

He's left us a ton of timeless, completely original comedy--unapologetic observations into the bizarre impulses and rituals of human beings that guarantee his work will survive as long as we do (and that's not really much of a guarantee, but hey).

"Always do whatever's next," and that's what he did, right until the end.
