sorry for the late reply Zimmy...as i'm sure youve noticed i've taken a bit of a hiatus from creation...unfortunately my fiance' left me on my birthday (which is already a depressing time for me), however, i've been able to use that in order to make some really positive changes in my life.Β New job, new location, new perspectives...nevertheless, i do still post my poetry (just posted two today) - i just need to start drawing/painting/creating again.Β Thank you for the birthday wishes and hopefully i'll start creating again soon.

it brought me joy during this dark time. i was more than a fan...as his films and manic-brand of comedy helped me cope with and understand some of the more dramatic events of my youth. As an adult, his off-the-big screen comments and comedy routines which he were often woven in his various interviews and stand-ups regarding his battle with substance abuse and mental health disorders helped me in feeling less alienated during my early and mid 20s in that even this pillar of my youth which represented pure nostalgic joy also struggled with the all-too-human problems that i was facing at the time.

I feel much the same. Odd sometimes to feel so close to an entertainer, but to me he was so much more than that.
