I used to marinate myself in emotion
Now I sit here numb
It’s not that bad really
Just strange
Feels like all has drained from my brain
I spent so long trapped in my pain
It was hard to see the sun through the rain
Some days feel like I’ve lost my wind
The tension is unwound
The wound is closing
But I feel lost
Voiceless

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.
