Carlos Mencia
Yeah, he's not my favorite person in the world (and I'm not alone on that), but the way he ended one of his Comedy Central Stand Up bits right after 9/11 really got me and still makes me a little misty eyed when I hear it.
"..what makes life beautiful is the essence of the fact it can go away. See, you don't want to live like that. You don't want to be the person, do you, that had a fight? An inconsequential, insignificant, stupid fight with your spouse about who is supposed to open, close or turn out the light at that bedtime. So you did it but you were pissed and you stayed pissed with your wife. Not because it was real, but hell, we can make up later. Nothing better than make up sex is there? And in the morning you woke up and things were still bad, but you kept that because..hey, I'm going to come back and we're going to do it. And then what happened? You went to your building and you were saddened on that 90th floor and that happened and your ass is never going to go back home again. The best you could do is call your woman or man and say 'I love you' and you missed that last night. Why? Because you thought it would last forever. See, every comedy show you've ever been to ends with a big joke because that's what you need. I end with a big joke, you laugh, I say goodnight and that's how it's supposed to be. But that ain't life my friend, and if you learn anything from me, learn one thing - that sometimes...sometimes."
