Summer in LA
A memory from my first trip to Los Angeles with my acting friends after graduation, away from my family for the first time.
I found summer days that made me wait for winter nights no longer
City of dreams so real I could feel its triumph from the air
Igniting passion hot like the fire in its sunrise, stronger
Rays of gold blending into my skin, warm and true but rare
I followed the golden trails towards its rainbow on the sand
A different kind of Venice but still, swiftly I fell in love
Finding freedom in my true self on this unfamiliar land
A comfort indescribable, ethereal energy from above
Cotton candy skies fed me sweetness in abundance
Cool splashes soothe my feet like healing waters for the soul
Tranquil waves left me unbound, a first taste of independence
A summer like no other, clothed in warmth no longer cold
Call me crazed for still dreaming of those cotton candy skies
For on the other side of the world, I found home in my eyes

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.
