First post
I think back to my high school daze, as well as my college daze, and really, I can't think of a better way to begin this blog, other than by sharing a quote that found me as I was looking for a book to write a report on back in the 7th grade. I found this quote inside of a George Carlin book; Napalm & Silly Putty.
I can't think of any other quote that has stood the test of time more steadfastly.
I found the book inside of a Best Buy of all places (the electronics retail giant), and picked the book up because I had previously seen the cover on some Hacking tutorial website. I went to pick it up not knowing who George Carlin was, or even what the book was about. I reached for the book on instinct alone. I turned to a random page and Carlin's quips and probes made me both laugh and think. Later, when I began to read his book cover-to-cover, I encountered this now ingrained quote as one of Carlin's epigraphs. I enjoyed Carlin's witty, almost sullen, take on the world. Sardonic. Sardonic comes to mind. I'll describe his view, and my own views and perceptions at that time, as that.
The quote, which Carlin cites as anonymous, is as follows:
