Stay with me
i'm still becoming
who i am
i'm not where
i used to be
in the tempest
my defiant
heart pumping
tears across me
til i'm crushed like
a rock into sand
alabaster dust
a desert in
an oasis
i hear a whisper
imperceptible
perceived in
a secret place
hidden deep
"Stay with me
you're becoming
who you are
you're not where
you used to be
I won't dry your tears
I've been bottling them
to shape you
keep going".

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.
