When you look in the mirror
What do you see?
Do you see you, or the person others want you to see?
Mirrors can be deceptive,
Always telling lies.
Except for when I look into my eyes.
Mirrors are deceiving,
Reflecting all the pain,
On you, the one staring,
The one to blame.
Do You Care?
Do you care about me?
Could you show it?
Stop “bro-ing” at me
And support it.
I'm not your dude
And it's extremely rude
To try your hardest for someone,
Only to find out those feelings are gone.
So, if you care about me,
Show it.
I'm done.

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.
