I have not written a blog in quite sometime. But when I do, it usually is worth the time out of your day to read. Well... I would think it is. Not to sound harsh or crude, but if you have a half of brain or consider yourself an acquaintance or friend of mine, I would recommend you continue. If other, than make your own decision, and let it be.
Now that that is done, I shall continue. I name this passage "roller coaster" Because I am sure most of us have felt one time or another, that our lives are roller coaster rides. Whether it'd be the "Scream Machine" (Six Flags) "Nitro", "The Dragon Coaster" or maybe your life is as smooth going as a kiddie coaster. Which ever it may be, we've all had our ups and downs. I suppose it is all part of life, but still each of us have our highs and lows in a different spectrum. Me? I consider my life as of now to be equivalent to "Kingda Ka" (six flags) A roller coaster that makes haste to the top of its peak, then drops quicker than it reaches it summit, like most roller coasters.
From realizing things about "friends", work, myself and the world around me. In the time being I feel as if my life spirals down the dark abyss toilet of the devil himself. Along with my life spiraling its drain, feces and brimstone urine follows with it. Harsh? Maybe. But as I may, I can only briefly explain in an anonymous way.
As of recently, some friends have flourished more than I can believe. And some have removed their masks and have shown their colors that lye deep within their being. Usually those colors for some odd reason are not very pretty. I have witnessed and been a victim of selflessness, selfishness and just down right insensitivity. On the other hand, I have also witnessed flourishing friendships, new friendships and people who just deserve all the kindness I could ever have to offer. People I have met at my new workplace have been extremely supportive and I feel more than blessed to have met them. But, some old friends have become distant and rather unattached from themselves. This is only based on opinion. Of course they do not think so, but they are in their box looking out. Or maybe that really is themselves after all. I would not really know that answer, they are the only ones that know that answer. But there is no real reason on me pondering what I can or can not do to fix them or the friendships that may have unintentionally dwindled. If such happens than maybe it would be meant to be.

How Was I Branded "Mouse"
So here is a topic that I have been asked many times in the past. How did I get the name Mouse. Like many peoples nicknames there usually is a simple story behind them. Of course the ones that were self given are pretty lame and miserable. But not I. Reasons of my name are:
1: I am pretty damn short for guy. That's duh. So therefore the name fit pretty well.
2: One day we all were playing football, at White Plains Middle School. Im pretty sure when I was about 12 or 13. Im not really sure. Being my size and low to the ground, I was/am quick on my feet. I'd be able to evade most tackles and use my dexterity to move the ball down the field. This one time, I guess I thought I was too fast, I decided that I would try to fit in between two cats (no pun intended) much larger than me. As you can imagine I failed, and they both tackled me as hard as they could. Instead of making a manly grunt noise when I was tackled. I was hit in the stomach and made a SQUEAK noise. This was unintentional of course. But it happened anyway. Be it as it may, people began to tease me calling me Mouse. I did not take it as a tease, rather a cool name that I wouldn't mind having. So there began the name Mouse.
3. Ironically Ive always been a fan of Mickey Mouse, and his cartoons influenced me to become an animator. So there is another slight reason of why the name Mouse stuck so well. Mainly because of this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GT5ucWolPhw cartoon, is that why Mickey Mouse was such an influence.
So there you have. How I got the name Mouse.

Re-Entering Blog Life
Definitely has been a long time long while since I posted anything. Now that I think of it, it probably is a good thing. Considering so many things have happen and different subjects have occurred that still and seems will always baffle my mind.
I decided to change the name of the blog. I feel as if Ive grown plenty thus far. I no longer feel like I need to keep track of things that have happened to me. Or that I have experienced. But we should learn from all of it. Being said, the first thing that has been popping up in my thoughts has been:
Being Courteous of returning a phone call/text message. Knowing that the person on the other end might be waiting for your response. Whether it's something extremely important or just a simple request. I feel like many are losing touch of doing this. Of course as "Murphy's Law" goes, when it happens back to you, you feel warranted to be upset, when someone does not return your messages or calls. Now I completley understand that sometimes, timing or activities do not permit someone to return calls/texts at that immediate time. But the excuse of "being too busy" for days straight, I feel is just heinous. Even the president has time to pick his phone up and shoot a quick BBM to Michelle Obama, to say "love you" or see whats up. The excuse of being really busy I feel is a rather flimsy excuse.
The people who do return messages and calls. Or like to believe that you are consistent with doing so, I applaud you. I know I might at a time been a culprit of not returning texts or calls. But I think the difference of that would be that I am actually conscious that did not do so. Or that i recognize my failure to return a message when confronted.
My Final Thought? Men... When you hang out with a potential interest, please do not pull the scum bag move of not answering her phone calls or text, because you dont know how to balance whether your interested in the person or not. You made the bed now lay in it. If you are 25 or above, you have NO excuse. Either get out gracefully by COMMUNICATING. Or continue to lay in the bed and act as if you've met her for the first time, every single phone call. LADIES! Please return text messages and or phone calls. There are really some men out there that truthfully would like to hear from you through out the day. Whether it'd be to just say Hi or to ask you about your day. Just because we are hitting you up, does not necessarily mean we want to take your clothes off. (Just Sayin)....
This is just one of the many thoughts I have stored away. Follow the blog, lets make things interesting.

Follow the Money Brick Road?
Well the consensus is in. Money isn't everything and the path of life.
People that say money isn't everything, act like money isn't everything. Well its not. Reflecting on past experiences and viewing others in their own travels for riches. Ive noticed, as i am sure many of you have also, see how money really is not everything. Why, yes of course I would like to live comfortably and be able to provide for my family. BUT, how far will you go to get "rich"?
Ive observed this intensely within the past couple of years being that I am getting older and some decisions must be made in order to continue my life and hopefully prosper from what it has to offer. Working massive hours everyday, day in and day out I found to be one of the most devastating acts a person can do to him or herself. The chase for those large pay checks every week, blinds some people. They forget who they are and what they mean so easily, so that they can boast about their success to others or flaunt their earnings. Don't get me wrong I have nothing against hard workers and the people who enjoy working hard. How ever I wonder if they stop and take the time to think about other aspects in life as they grow. Your friends? Your Family? Where are they? What do they think of you?
There are only a handful of people that I have come across that has been fortunate enough to understand "Money is not everything". Example. A person I acquaint with has been working vigorously for most of his younger years (18 -27). Traveling to different places, working around the clock, missing important pivotal events in his life that not surprisingly he'd wish he could get back. While making very good money, being able to live in beautiful New York city apartments, nice cars, and vacations; It took a marriage for not only him but his spouse to realize that working so many hours and being away from home for long amounts of times is not worth it. They are both in thoughts of quitting their jobs and taking on occupations that pay a lot less, but are more enjoyable, to salvage and cherish the unbreakable bond that a social connection may have. This came to a shock to me, as I thought although he worked a lot, he enjoyed his work and the amount of money that is coming in. I was mistaken. Being envious of his income for so long, it has just come to my attention that money means nothing, compared to the relationships one has amongst another person. Whether it'd be your friends, wife or family. I would rather be broke or strapped for money and hanging out with my close friends having a good time, meeting people, learning things everyday, rather than get up to go to work at 9am to come home at 11pm making a lot of money but having no social life. There is so much more I can say about this topic, but I am sure most of you get the gist of what I am trying to convey.
Ask yourself. Is it worth it to you? Is money really everything?

Your My Friend, Now I have a Spouse POOF GONE
Ive had two major thoughts that weighed on my mind within these past couple of weeks. Okay so first...
The ole, "I got a girlfriend/boyfriend now, so im going to disappear from the face of the earth syndrome". Listen I am all about love, and relationships... I mean hell, I have been searching for one myself for quite sometime now. There is just one difference between me and some other people I am acquainted with, on how they handle there relationships with their significant other and their friends. It just bothers me that your close friends can be so easily pushed to the side or forgotten just because you find a significant other. Honestly majority bring around an interest to their friends for their approval. And once the core friends approve I figure it would be completely okay to bring them around once in a while and enjoy a football game, or enjoy a night out to hang out. BUT now that you have had the friend approval you proceed to fade yourself away from your friends, not hang out and rarely give them calls or texts. In my opinion, it is not difficult to pick up the phone and give a text to your friends to see how they are doing once in a while. I am ashamed to admit i have one friend that is very good at doing this. I respect that so much. Those are the friends that I know will not completely phase away and actually be there for the long haul. Most friends mean well, but i think they get so caught up in their own worlds, that they dont see how it effects their other components of their world. It should be closer observed.

Hues of the Holidays
The Holidays come in some many different colors, shades and hues. The way I see it is that the holiday time forces you to put many things in your head. Evaluate family members, friends, co-workers and just about everyone. It sometimes brings out true colors of people and things. I'm becoming to realize this as my age increases.
You can view holiday times in bright light colors and be very festive. But then the other side is the darkness. Which is by all means not easy to escape. Holidays can be one of the most miserable times for people. Loneliness, financial troubles, and even health issues are most amplified at this time. Which is why and how i think "New Year Resolutions" came about. Maybe to give people that sense of hope. So they may clean their slate and "start new". When in fact we aren't really starting anything new. We just think it, so we can re-comfort ourselves. I don't object to this remedy for the Holiday blues. I think its great for those it works for. For me? I don't think im going to give my self any resolution, I want to experiment with not giving my self any resolute thoughts of hope. This way I wont be disappointed. I say this now, but i do know i will inevitably give my self thoughts of hope, for its in my nature. Im not one to give up, and i usually get what I want. But lately, I have been failing. So i figured i'd try this method of trying to not give myself false hope. I'm sure this method will also fail, but maybe that will clarify to myself that i shouldn't ever give up having faith in myself... We will see now wont we.
