Hypnotized by a screen
as wide as a human hand,
mesmerized by beams,
radioactive mirror trance,
Absorbing bitter energies
in digital wonderland,
a dumpster fire calamity
in which most don’t understand,
Brain is addicted, body’s froze
catatonic chronic doubt,
friends are moving on their own
Is this the feeling of missing out?
Sense of self comatose
shake awake, scream and shout,
they’re living lavish through the phone
Yes, I fear I’m missing out…
People doing what they want,
and I fear I’m missing out.

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.
