Toes tilt.
Heart tumbles too.
Dancing down future yellow brick street
has just commenced with my latest heartbeat.
Tassels turned.
Scholarship to dance shivers on dusty desk.
Joffrey Dance School!
Instead, I choose another path
Stayed in my own hometown,
to teach dance skills,
to young children.
This, has been what has brought my heart the truest thrills.

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.
