      A poem for you all.

      To Be Alive
      by Gregory Orr

      To be alive: not just the carcass
      But the spark.
      That's crudely put, but...
      If we're not supposed to dance,
      Why all this music?

          When I was learning to ride motorcycles they always told us don’t look at what you don’t want to hit. Commonly known as target fixation.

                    Ricky is probably my favorite comedian right now. He cuts straight through the BS with perfect wit.

                        @Mizmazzle I've been a fan over the years,but for some reason I just couldn't get through his most recent special.

                          Pretty sure he didn't actually write this one but he told it on comedians/coffee/cars with Seinfeld

                              @Jett129 I can agree. Didn’t find his latest special to be his best, but I still enjoyed it. I mostly just love his take on things and his overall presence as a comedian. Takes the piss out of the A listers and doesn’t let woke BS cloud the reality of being a good person.

                                Agreed. I love his appearances on talk shows and awards shows but his standups, especially the new one, don’t hit the same way. The holocaust joke is a classic. As holocaust jokes go that is.

                                Also, I watched the new Chapelle special and liked it. I think he’s leaning into activist monologues a bit more but I respect that and feel like the times call for it more than before. It def had the feel of a quickly put together set but if that’s his B game then I’d say he’s still got it.

                                  @Matt it’s kind of funny how I praise Ricky and he often talks about how wealthy he is. But when Chapelle does it, for some reason it rubs me the wrong way. I do love Chapelle. But he’s seemed to have lost a lot of his humility. What I do know about myself is that if I had that money and fame I would be insufferable. So I guess I shouldn’t let his bragging bother me too much.

                                    I’m already insufferable so I can’t imagine how bad it would be if I was loaded.
