Southern Winds
The Devil's Sins
Southern winds have blown an evil spirit in,
the longest nights, reveal the devils darkest sin.
It’s raining hard, a mist conceals my crumbling world,
desires gone, before me now, a wispy vision twirls.
****
A presence here, only content to tease and taunt,
a ghostly face, my future now intends to haunt.
You've got to help, before I lose all of myself,
I fear for now, I'm turning into someone else.
****
The breeze cries soft, a voice calls out, beyond the trees,
an unholy grip, has me falling to my knees.
For mercy I beg, hear me calling out for help,
I can’t seem to find, a single way to save myself.
****
Someone please help, before I lose what's left of me,
the shell I am, is not who I was meant to be.
A shelter fast, to shield and block the evil southern winds,
before too long, he'll send his demons for me, once again.

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.

As the children of Rechab once said, "If your heart is as mine, take my hand." Even if your heart is not as mine, dear friend, take my hand.
