About
Many years before that unforgettable morning when I was struck by lightningl, some time closer to when I started living independently to my shadow I remember a stranger appearing and telling me that one day I would write this sentence, so I should remember it well. In hindsight the sentence seems long and rambling, but it’s purpose was always to appear here. Some years after the lightning strike, when I realised the birds never returned to the hillside, a melancholy fell upon me and those long days staring out over the valley, lost in the sounds and smells of nature, had gone. The only way to fill that silence was through laughter, so some time later I became a comedian. Don’t take my word for it, read some quotes:
