FOCUS ON MYSELF!


Focusing on yourself means prioritizing your own needs, personal growth, and well-being. It involves understanding yourself, practicing self-compassion, setting healthy boundaries, and cultivating self-esteem. It's not selfish, but rather a necessary step in becoming the best version of yourself.

THE RORSCHACH INK BLOT TEST

The Rorschach test is a psychological test in which individuals are shown inkblots and asked to describe what they see. The responses are then analyzed to assess personality characteristics, emotional functioning, and potentially, mental disorders. It's a projective test, meaning it relies on the individual's unconscious projections onto ambiguous stimuli.

LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE!

 The saying "laughter is the best medicine" suggests that laughter has a positive impact on overall well-being, similar to how medicine alleviates illness. It implies that laughter can help people cope with stress, improve mood, and potentially even promote physical health. This is according to an article in Wikipedia. I can't assert laughter is really the best medicine but in my case...it definitely is and these cartoon characters and  comedians are an essential part of my well being, so here's a small celebration of those comedians and cartoon characters that have made my life brighter and joyful!

IS THAT THE CLOUD?


Okay. I get it. There is the Cloud, the iCloud, the Google Cloud, the Creative Cloud, the Computing Cloud, the Public Cloud, the Private Cloud, the Hybrid Cloud, the Storage Cloud, the Network Cloud, the Music Cloud and the just plain, ordinary, everyday, cloud you see in the sky. So where in blazes is all my stuff when it goes to The Cloud?

MONSTER BURGER!


I love hamburgers. I even think hamburgers are my most favorite food in the world. But sometimes, hamburgers can be a bit of a problem when certain hamburger joints go nuts with their promotional campaigns and try to outsize the competition. Really, there's no mouth big enough to take a bite out of these massive creations! (However, that doesn't stop me. I'll accept the challenge!)

FATHER'S DAY, 2025



This is a good moment to watch A BEAR FOR PUNISHMENT, the classic Father's Day cartoon from Chuck Jones, which incidentally, was released in 1951, the same year I was born!


So anyway, Happy Fathers Day...including myself!
