I know what you are trying to do
But I don’t let on I’m aware
That you want to let me go
Quietly, without mess
To protect my heart
I too, step back
I am here
I am
gone

So I will live just for today."

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.
