Is it ok to save your love?
To hold it dear, worn like a glove?
Is it ok to wait a while?
To wait until you see THAT smile?
Is it ok to find that one,
The one who makes your bad days brighter?
The one who loves you no matter what?
The one who is your biggest fighter?
Today it is somehow frowned upon
They waste their time on “not the one's”
Instead of seeing what they need
They fight for the bad
They live with greed
The greed they live with is there to stay
It destroys lives
Is that ok?

The Most Perfect Item
Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night to get a drink of water? To use the bathroom? You know, to better yourself? Your hands stretched out in front of you trying to find something steady to hold on to. Hoping that the shadow you just saw was just your imagination. Finally catching your breath because you think you've made it to the other side of the room, but no. Tricks on you. You’re back at the wall you first began at. Back at square one. The others hear you stumbling and shuffling your feet, yet they only give you “words of wisdom” and phrases to hold on to. They do help, however, YOU are still the one who has to finish the task. YOU are the one longing to snatch victory for yourself. You want no other’s help. They tell you it's easy. They tell you not to worry about the ones who say differently. You try to be positive about completing the mission and trying to get the others to stay positive, but when you show as much as a PINCH of pain or reality, that's when the heads start butting. That's when they blame you for being “hypocritical”. That's when humans start to show their immorality. You then realize for yourself that they are right. You are a hypocrite. You need improvement. You might as well not even try to do better because there is no chance of ever getting there anyways. Am I not human? Do I not err? Tell me why I must go on being the most perfect item in the world.

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.
