Thoughts racing thick and fast so fast I can’t keep up. I see and I observe and there’s nothing I can do but pace as excited energy trembles through my body. Lacking sleep for days I frantically stumble in my rush to... Do what exactly?Hurry hurry the tempo in my head sings must never slow down must never stop because slowing down means boring dreariness and we can’t have that! The dr says it’s time for meds and I brush him aside as I cry no no NO! Gotta keep momentum up up UP! I don’t WANNA lose my mojo I’m excited and impulsive and that brings adventure. What will it be next?Shopping sprees or painting houses?Running marathons and racing cars on open freeways?It’s always so much fun and I’m free falling from great heights, enjoying the air as I dive past! Oh no!Suddenly I’m plummeting, I start to feel sluggish and my limbs are made of lead “Whaa’s goin’ on?” I say as I find myself slurring words and aimlessly walking.
I feel my body wasting away the energy it held
Crushed, I try to stop the seeping knowing the inevitable
I’m being pulled back to being grounded
Where real life begins again as I reluctantly take the tablets

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.
