Discussing politics, sports and religion with friends!

This is a cartoon I posted in 2020 but it hasn't lost its relevance.
Incredibly, I've lost more friendships arguing about these three subjects more than any other topics
 and guess what --- I don't even really care about politics, religion or sports!

NO MORE LONELY NIGHTS (OR DAYS)!

Is your life dull, boring, listless, empty and completely devoid of excitement? In other words, have you become an apathetic, lackadaisical sorry imitation of a human being? Well, you can forget about that and begin to enjoy your days with this fabulous alternative to lonely days and/or nights!

 Introducing the Celebrity Life-Size-Cutouts Party Kit! 


Yes! For only a nominal monthly fee you can rent (with an option to buy), these fantastic life-size celebrity cutouts to fill your sad, cold and empty apartment! There is a vast and almost unlimited stock of celebrities, past and present, to choose from. And you can interchange and replace them whenever you like to fit your moods or seasons. Feeling nostalgic? There's Marilyn, Bogie, Laurel & Hardy and Raquel to refresh your memories of better times! Maybe you're playful...then get Willie Wonka or perhaps thrills and adventure are your cup of tea. If so,  Sean Connery as 007, or Steve McQueen as Bullitt can lead the way.
Want something current in politics? Vote for Kamala Harris! Or if sexy and luscious is more to your taste, then why not invite Mariah Carey, Taylor Swift, Britney Spears or Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Elaine Benes to a delightful and intimate evening? Whatever turns you on, we've got it! 


Transform your dingy, cold apartment from this............................................................To this!
Yes, folks! It's just that simple.

(Notice: The guy in the center of the picture wearing the tuxedo is not included. He's just a client. )
Special thanks to Photoshop!

My son Ricardo's Birthday!

And it's here again, my son Ricardo's Birthday! It's been quite a ride since that cloudy day back in 1973 when I rushed his mom to the hospital and awaited the arrival of my first (and only) son who has been my pride and joy for more than 51 years! Have a great day, kid!

ACTING! (An Ongoing Tutorial)

It doesn't take years of practice and learning of techniques to become a consummate thespian. 
Just keep your cool, always be focused on your performance and fake it as much as you can even in difficult situations.  But above all, never let your stupidity show!

TV Interview on WOWmxTV

                          
                 I have a hunch this will be the only live TV interview I am doing this year.                                                                                              And it's quite okay by me!

SEAN CONNERY as James Bond.

 Sean Connery would've been 94 years old today. Born in August 25th, 1930, he passed away on 0ctober 31, 2020. I've always been a big fan of all his movies but I choose to remember him today as James Bond 007, one of his most famous roles!

CLARINETITIS!

First performed in 1697, William Congreve's play The Mourning Bride includes as its first line, “Music hath charms to soothe the wild beast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak,” implying that the rhythm and sounds in music can calm even one with a violent, aggressive nature. In the matter of my clarinet playing, it has a quite different effect!

THE WONDERS OF PHOTOSHOP


I have yet to discover how to use the recent AI technology in my photographs and artwork but mostly thanks to Photoshop, I've been able to transform some of my wildest dreams into images that illustrate what my fantasy world would be like if I could just tweak it a bit and make it all come true!
