We are what we eat. We are what we like?

It is football season.

No, I don't waste my time and money watching the games.

In the comics section of the newspaper, football season is always a reminder to good ol' Charlie Brown (yes, in reruns and, no, not the character 'rerun') not to believe that this time he will kick the ball that Lucy offers to hold for him.  Not to believe whatever Lucy says about no more cheating and lying.  Yet, he trusts her that this time it will be different.


Good ol' Charlie Brown.

We love the Charlie Browns of the world because they are Charlie Browns.  It will be a rotten, rotten world if there were no Charlie Browns.

I wonder if our preferences for cartoon characters also says something about our own personalities?

Of course!!! We are what we like... And yes, however stupid Charlie Brown looks the innocence is way too endearing. There is a child in us that always wants to trust and hope- this time it will be fine!
I'd like to think I'm all that ... Trusting, hoping and happy and just for those reasons someone, somewhere has a warm thought for me! I love Charlie Brown , ok Lucy too she just loves humor in life!
