Lick the Lizzard Last George Carlin Interiew [Sunday, June 29th, 2008 8:52 pm] I'm not sure how I found this article, but I think it was a couple days ago and I'm just now getting to it. It's the last interview George Carlin gave days before dying, to Psychology Today, and there are some really great quotes in it: George Carlin's Last Interview I pretty much identify with this bit: Abraham Maslow said the fully realized man does not identify with the local group. When I saw that, it rang another bell. I thought: bingo! I do not identify with the local group, I do not feel a part of it. I really have never felt like a participant, I've always felt like an observer. Always. I only identified this in retrospect, way after the fact, that I have been on the outside, and I don't like being on the inside. I don't like being in their world. I've never felt comfortable there; I don't belong to that. So, when he says the "local group," I take that as meaning a lot of things: the local social clubs or fraternal orders, or lodges or associations or clubs of any kind, things where you sacrifice your individual identity for the sake of a group, for the sake of the group mind. I've always felt different and outside. Now, I also extended that, once again in retrospect, as I examined my feelings. George Carlin was an amazing man.

2 Lick | Lick the Lizzard Nearest Book Meme [Monday, April 21st, 2008 1:22 pm] Tagged by marstokyo in the "nearest book" meme, which has a new addition of commenting two journals back. Here are your rules. 1. Pick up the nearest book. 2. Open to page 123. 3. Find the fifth sentence. 4. Post the next three sentences in your journal. 5. Tag five people and post a comment to marstokyo's blog (your tagees will post to mine, etc.) once you've posted your three sentences. Nearest Book: The Screenwriter's Bible by David Trottier "Nothing should appear on the front cover - not even the title. Once an agent or producer receives your script, the script will be placed horizontally on a stack. Someone will write your title on the side binding with magic marker."

3 Lick | Lick the Lizzard in soviet russia, ads write blog! [Thursday, March 13th, 2008 12:36 pm] It came to my attention today that LiveJournal is no longer allowing Basic Accounts: http://brad.livejournal.com/2368071.html From this point on, all new journals will be ad supported or you must purchase a paid account. It really bothers me since LJ's original vision was to be community supported, not ad supported. In my opinion, it could be the equivalent of PBS selling out to Fox. With journals ad supported, sponsors can begin to dictate terms of usage. Maybe a sponsor doesn't want to fund a site where journals express dissent against the Iraq War or maybe they don't want to allow content that includes diversity. I mean, this is really over-thinking it. But I don't want to see a million ads on LJ. And where is all this money going towards? If we have paid accounts and ads, who is reaping in the cash? Do they really need that much money for operating costs? It completely makes this site like every other commercial site such as MySpace. At first, I doubt much will change. But we'll see. Maybe the ad space will start to grow and the space for our actual journal entries will shrink and perhaps certain words will need to be further filtered out and "private" entries will be closely watched by local police authorities all in the name of "public safety".

3 Lick | Lick the Lizzard weird guest on conan [Wednesday, February 27th, 2008 11:12 am] So yeah... there's the "I'm fucking Matt Damon/Ben Affleck/Seth Rogen" viral videos out there. But this one is way more crazy in an uncomfortable Larry David/Ricky Gervais/Andy Kaufman sorta way. Hopefully it won't be removed from YouTube.
