Mitch and old people
So I'm sorry to say Mitch Hedberg passed on last Wednesday, the 30th of March. It really is a great loss to the world of comedy but if the rumours around his death are true (that it was heart failure brought on by a heroine overdose) then it is an awful waste of a life and great talent.
But enough of that melancholy retrospection. I was on the train the other day travelling up to Dublin and ended up sitting opposite an elderly couple, boy was it depressing. "Patrick, wheres my bus pass?", "Is the train packed Patrick?", "Where are we now, Patrick?". Jesus fucking christ! If thats the result of marriage then fuck that I'll remain a bachelor. I felt so bad for Patrick, I mean I was sitting across from that old chick for like two hours and I was sorely tempted to reach across and punch her square in the wrinkled old face. Patrick is either senile, deaf, still madly in love with her or the most patient, non-violent person I have ever come into contact with.
On to the worst old person of them all - The motherfucking pope! What is the fucking deal there? Dude is like 700 years old and still wont quit his job. Most people cant wait to retire and enjoy their old age but this guy has heart failure, septic shock AND a urinary tract infection but still he clings on to both life and his job. I have no problem with religion, in fact many people would consider me to be quite religious but day by day I loose more and more respect for the Catholic Church, it is an outdated man-made institution in the last throws of shameful decay. The sooner the men and women of planet earth unite under one common banner the better.
Right thats my outburst for the moment. Tune in again soon.
