I'm stuck
Not because I want to be
For a year and a half now I've been stuck in the same place, the same moments in time
I've tried moving on
But no conversation ignites my mind like the ones we had
No face or smile seem burn as brightly as yours did
Each hand held seems to not be made for mine like yours was
I can replay the night we met,
I was ready to move on from a bad situation
Picking you up, mini-golf, a small diner, Barnes and Noble, fast talking my way past a security guard to get your car back from the lot we left it in, the energy you had, the eyes I could get lost in and yet never feel lost, the question, the answer, the kiss, the ride home feeling the entire time like I wanted to turn the car around and spend not just a night but a week just getting to know you better.
I'm stuck
I don't think I want to be
I think I'm self-sabotaging
You're not a memory now, you're a comparison
And if the person doesn't fit I lose interest
And that's not fair to them
It's not fair to me
So much potential tossed away because I wasn't and probably still am not ready because
I'm stuck

We All Must Go
My heart is heavy, but I cannot cry. And though I know we all must die; I still find myself asking why. Life comes and life goes, death comes for us all young and old. It doesn't matter who you are, rich, poor, healthy, or not, we all must go; no need for shock

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.
