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.

THE SENIOR SHOWER

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?

It's been a long journey but I'm hoping it is far from over!

THINGS I'VE LEARNED SO FAR!

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!

HOW OLD AM I ?

The old body joints ain't what they used to be!

DOING MY OWN STUNTS!

The new MISSION : IMPOSSIBLE movie is out and the stunts done by star Tom Cruise are amazing, plus the fact that he does them all by himself is nothing short of remarkable. However, in all modesty, I must confess I've also done my own stunts all through my life!

PHILOSOPHY 101

As you get older, you'll find you stumble into things more often than not.

AWKWARD MOMENTS!

MORAL OF THE STORY : A simple "Hi" would've been enough because you know,

 it was not nice to meet him!

NIGHTMARE AT THE AMERICAN SPACE MUSEUM

"There's a weird creature on the wing of the ship!'

This could only happen...in the Twilight Zone!

BAD DAY AT THE SUPERMARKET

You know you're doomed when you drop a can of soda at the wrong place and at the wrong time. 

Unfortunately, my Health Insurance doesn't cover being mauled by a tattooed gorilla

 in a supermarket aisle.
