Humor & Shadow

We're having to say goodbye to Mitch Hedberg today. I love comedy and Mitch was one of my favorites. It's no secret he had his problems with drugs, but i felt that his heart was always right there -- check out "Strategic Grill Locations" for an example.

This reminds me of the last post I wrote, the one about artists being stereotypically fucked up. Out of all of the lines of development that get thrown around in integral discussions, it's weird that humor hasn't found a way into the spotlight. I believe humor and the ability to make others laugh is an amazing gift to our existence. Just think about how laughing connects us, helps us learn, opens our minds and busts through barriers of all kinds.

But it seems that Mitch's gift fell short of reciprocation.

So long, Mitch. Thanks for the laughs.
