I was influenced by a lot of stand-up comedians... Eddie Murphy back when he was doing 'Raw.' I watched that so many times as a kid, I can probably still quote the entire thing to this day. Chris Rock. Dave Chappelle. George Carlin. A lot of the guys who were sort of edgy for their time.
Life is to be lived, not controlled, and humanity is won by continuing to play in face of certain defeat.
I just love the feeling a close family gives you and I wouldn't change it for anything.
