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.
