Homemade toothpaste?
When does saving the environment stop being cool?
Bamboo toothbrush!
Paper straws!
Homemade toothpaste?
Now that's a bit too far....
It's only a bit of plastic
And it's recyclable, right?
The bin men are paid to deal with it,
It's not my problem, out of mind, out of sight,
Lose vegetables!
I can do that just fine,
But the plastic wrapped peppers are cheaper,
Will you let me off this one time?
What difference can I make anyway?
I'm just one person out of millions who might
Undermine any good work that I might do
But an acorn grows into an oak tree
Which spreads into a forest
That might start something new

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.
