Humanitire.

While I've never seen an episode of The Honeymooners, in an attempt to think of a title for this journal (I don't care who's hosting it, I will not, repeat, will NOT call it a blog) the first thing that came to my head was the infamous "straight to the moon" line from said show.

Don't ask me why, because I don't know how my brain works.

Of course, unless my journal was going to be about a race for space, be it fictional or not, the aforementioned rest of the line wouldn't have really fit. But something needed to, and it needed to rhyme with moon, which of course lead me to doing a little more thinking than I wanted.

I had to surf through possible rhymes readily available in my head and eventually, after maybe 5 minutes, I landed on "cartoon".

Why cartoon? And why do I claim I am one? Well, someone once told me I was one and considering one of my ultimate goals in life professionally is to voice act in cartoons, it seemed very fitting.

Of course, most people who meet me wouldn't really head for that word if they had to define me, but that's only because most people don't really know me, and do you know why?

Because I don't want them to.

Aside from something to conquer, I get this feeling there's a reason my level self esteem keeps me reserved, whether it be to retain an element of surprise or simply because people just might not deserve all of me.

Regardless, the simple truth is that we're all ultimately cartoons. We're all a little bit ridiculous and over the top exaggerated at times. Some of us just don't emanate the colour and animation that we relate to said world. What we don't realize though is that cartoons aren't always colourful and exaggerated.

They're simply humourous.

And let's face it people, this planet is chocked full of humour whether you like it or not. We all find different things funny, and we especially find it very easy to laugh at everyone that isn't us, so how are we not all cartoons?

That's all folks.
