What am I? Or what am I not?

This illumination belongs to one of my best 'friends'. I thought it was dead- 'on its way out' the man said... I've thought as much for a while, but I've been avoiding confronting my fear for weeks. Lucky for me the 'doctor' smiled and had 'him' back all happy and healthy not two hours later. :)

Okay, I'll start you off- its NOT a mexican riding a unicycle playing the recorder...
