These are old news if you live on the Internet. However, no matter how old, they're still SO good and I think they deserve a share and a mention on this blog. Alex Noriega is an artist who, in his own words, started the blog Stuff No One Told Me "as a way of trying to find what I was doing wrong. I wanted to put on paper all that I had learned in life as simple as possible and try to see if what was happening around me made sense. It didn't". I mean, an artist with a sense of humor and everyday struggles we all face? I'm in! His characters are flawed and worry about the exact same things we do, they make mistakes and feel bad about it and overthink it and that's why it's easy to fall in love with them. Check them out if you haven't already! 

Favorite Animated Shorts

I remember, once as a kid, I read somewhere that roughly only 20% of world's consumption of ice-cream is eaten by children. It came as a shock surprise to me: why on Earth would adults eat ice-cream that much, it's children's food?! Growing up, the realization of the obvious was inevitable. Of course we love ice-cream and are not giving it up! There is a number of things that are reserved for children, or maybe more appropriate for them, but I decide that age has nothing to do with them. One of these is cartoons and animated videos. From time to time I really wish for a Disney marathon - and nothing anyone says will persuade me I'm too old for that! Luckily, in the past decade or so people making animated movies realized that adults are a big part of their audience, so turned to making stuff that is appealing to them as well. Not that I'm saying The Lion King isn't, but, you know.
