Defensive Driving For Dummies

Welcome back for another brief, yet informative blog from myself, the Quiet Mouse.
If you haven't read the past two blogs in this series, you should look back in the archive for "Driving for Dummies" and "Driving and Shopping"...



Let's get started here as I state once again my fear for being out on the road with my fellow American MANIACS! I am not a timid driver, per se... it's just that I feel like I am the only one using my turn signals and respecting things like the speed "suggestion" limit... just saying... but  those are recurring themes from past blogs.
Today I was out in traffic and I witnessed the idiocy and flat out selfishness of my fellow citizens. An ambulance was trying to pull out of a parking lot, lights on, siren blaring and the street traffic would NOT STOP to let the ambulance onto the street. I was gridlocked on the opposite side of the street and was not able to move over any further as the ambulance eventually was able to do an almost U shaped left turn onto my side of the road.
I am not aware of the nature of the emergency... hell they could have been on the way to the donut house for all I know. I'm not trying to trivialize their job in any way. I'm only commenting on the rudeness of society to not let an ambulance across the road. Again, where have the basic rules of the road gone? Is the minute you would have lost really worth being a hindrance to an emergency vehicle that needs to get somewhere FAST??

That's about all I'm gonna say on that, but it frustrates me and forces me to step back and take a deep breath. I cannot control these things. All I can do is be a good safe defensive driver and pray that the other ASSHOLES don't hit me.
This has been the Quiet Mouse signing out... drive safe and protect your loved ones from danger. No drinking and driving, please, please, please...
Peace. Love. Truth. Respect. Mindfulness.

Honesty is the BEST policy!

Welcome back friends, family, and fellow knowledge seekers, this is the Quiet Mouse Strikes Back once again.
Today I want to bring up the issue of honesty. It is my opinion that there is a fair number of people, especially in American Society, that either don't want the truth or in the immortal words of Jack Nicholson, "You can't handle the truth!"
Why is it that we feel the need to tell lies and false truths as human beings? It starts at an early age and I am getting first hand experience with this having two young school age children. It seems to me that this starts as a self-defense mechanism to deflect what is perceived to be threat or danger of getting into trouble. This grows as we mature and are disillusioned by the images we see on television of adults and other children tell lies to one another. It is often portrayed on t.v. as being somehow funny, but this is typical of people to mock and pretend that the issue is not important, or to trivialize the interpersonal relationships we humans have.
I say this because without TRUST, there is NO relationship... which leads me on to a personal revelation:

I am honest. Sometimes brutally. And if you ask me a question... Do NOT get offended if I give you an honest answer. If you are afraid of my potential answer, then you may want to avoid asking the scary question(s)...

So I can hear some of the whispering now
"But Mouse... What do I say if my wife/gf/s.o. asks me "Does this dress makes me look fat?"

Well friends, I'm glad you ponder so many questions. But let's be honest once again here... if the question needs asked... we ALL probably know the answer.
Now this leads me to my next point in this discourse. Some people DON'T WANT TO HEAR THE TRUTH!

Now I'm not suggesting that you go straight out and be RUDE to people... no, no, no... NOT AT ALL. All I am suggesting is some truthfulness with a little thing called TACT.
Perhaps change the subject, deflect the conversation onto yourself rather than the person who is SETTING YOU UP FOR FAILURE??

Further examples of the truth that needs to be told is once again in our media. I know that the majority of my readers have seen the news on tv or read it in the paper... of course you have... we ALL know how depressing it is. YES, it is true that violence DOES happen in this world, BUT... the news RARELY highlights the thousands if not millions of good deeds of true benevolence and love that happen on a daily basis. We, especially as Americans have been desensitized to the GOOD of the world because let's be honest, VIOLENCE SELLS! Just like SEX SELLS!
Unfortunately our society has dwindled down to the point that we have to project our thoughts and images to the LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR: THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL... this is sad but true.

What I purpose is just some mindfulness of how you and I interact with one another and our fellow human beings. The path of least resistance: lying, cheating, stealing, foul language, manipulation, etc... is NOT always the best path. In fact I believe that this is the primary cause of the ones we love hurting us the most. It is an attachment to our own selfish EGO's and it is NOT healthy for our mind, body, or spirit.
When you wake up, each day is a chance to re-invent yourself and look in the mirror and make yourself the person you want to be TODAY! Do you want to be perceived as a truth sayer... or a LIAR?? Even little white lies damage the energy force that brings us together. Let us hold ourselves to a HIGHER STANDARD please, so we can be better role models for our children so they do not grow up to be little manipulative liars, obsessed with senseless violence and greed.

To sum it up... we all have to face the person in the mirror and face our true inner self. If you don't like what you see, then I suggest taking the steps to change. Be honest with YOURSELF first and foremost, because if it doesn't start WITHIN, it will never be projected outward as the honest truth.
This has been the Quiet Mouse.
Peace. Love. Respect. Truth. Compassion. Wisdom. Honor. Courage. 

WE ARE THE 99%... We are NOT going away!

Hello once again my fellow friends, family, and knowledge seekers, I am your blog host THE Quiet Mouse!
Today I want to talk about a familiar issue to all of us who are in the 99% that are used and abused by the system we live in while the upper 1% are STEALING away the future of US and our country while living fat on the hog at OUR expense.

I am here to say emphatically TODAY that the system is irrevocably broken! There is NOWHERE for this nation to go but DOWN! The fat cats that are the TRUE figureheads of power and control are grasping for EVERYTHING they can get away from us because they KNOW that a revolution is coming... and it WILL be sooner rather than later. This IS the Titanic. We have hit the iceberg. The ship IS sinking. Are you gonna grasp onto the rail and pray for a return to the previous ways of Wall Street corruption as the global elite, bankers, lobbyists and consultants aim to steal away your 401k, IRA, college funds, and lifetime of savings?
Or are you gonna grab a life vest and start swimming before the rest of what you have gets sucked down into the abyss with everything else?
As we can see as a result from the 1980's, 1990's, 2000's til now is that "Trickle-down Economics" DID NOT and HAS NOT WORKED!! Giving tax breaks to the richest citizens and corporations has ONLY made them greedier and their tactics more forward and devious. They no longer hide in the shadows. They are out in the open with their greed. WE, the 99% are anonymous... we are faceless, we are powerful, we are one.


I am a veteran of the United States Navy. I am unemployed. I live off of my VA pension of $973 a month. I cannot afford to eat 3 meals a day. I have celiac disease and have special dietary needs, but cannot afford fresh fruits and vegetables. I had to apply for food stamps this week despite my own personal reservations. I do NOT want gov't assistance. I WANT to work in the field I went to school and was trained for: as a surgical technologist.
I AM a patriot to this nation, but this is NOT the American dream. I do not want to live like the people who hoard the money to turn us into debt ridden slaves to the system. I have simple needs. I pay child support. I just want to be able to take care of my children and have a little bit of money left over at the end of the month for basic food and recreation needs. And that is on TOP of the constant need for gasoline, the ever-rising cost resource, which nearly breaks the bank every month.
There has to be something better than this. I am PROUD of those who are able to stand up and use their Constitutional rights of peaceful assembly and protest against this greed and corruption that has taken place on Wall Street. I am truly ashamed of the policement of these people as citizens are being treated badly and beaten by those who took an oath to "SERVE AND PROTECT" the citizens of this nation, just for protesting against the inhuman and unequal treatment of Americans. Now they just are here to "Punish and Enslave."
The bad news is that the majority of those tasked with policing US are only 1 paycheck away from being part of US: 1 layoff away from being on the unemployment line, having to BEG for government assistance.
Where is OUR bailout? All the banks got theirs! And what did they do? They bought out all the smaller banks... aren't there anti-trust laws against those sort of corporate monopolies?

Here is a few quotes from one of our greatest president's ever, Thomas Jefferson
"The policy of the American government is to leave their citizens free, neither restraining nor aiding them in their pursuits."

"I think myself that we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious." (Back then!)

"When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty."

There is a disparity forming here amongst the people of this nation. Soon more and more Americans will lose patience with this government that is NOT on the side of the people. The politicians are too busy serving their corporate masters and sitting at their feet laying down like dogs. WE, the 99% are stronger than them. We have more people, more passion, more love, and more determination. We CAN make this nation great once again, but it WILL require sacrifice and it WILL get WORSE before it gets better. Put another hole in your belt and get ready to cinch it tighter. We will ALL have to give up so much. WE we only succeed in taking back this nation if we work TOGETHER... which we have done so poorly in the past. We can no longer count on the exploitation of one group of brown people or another to sustain the extravagance of the mega-rich elite. People of all races, color, creed, gender, etc. will have to come together and work together if we want to survive the oncoming storm. AGAIN, this will get WORSE before it gets better!!!



WAKE UP!! If you are reading this... YOU ARE ONE OF US! YOU ARE PART OF THE 99%!!

Peace. Love. Truth. Respect. 

Seriously??

So welcome back to another edition of the Quiet Mouse Strikes Back...
Today I want to discuss briefly something I saw and read on Yahoo news:
Saggy Pants Ban in Florida
Like the blog title suggested... seriously?

"The "Saggy Pants Law" requires educators to crack down on the indecent fashion trend by issuing warnings to students who wear pants/skirts that show their underwear."


Let me get this straight. They are now giving out tickets to students in high school and in public for having sagging pants? What if someone just lost weight? Not everyone, including teens, is purposefully trying to be a sight for sore eyes. Besides, if you don't like it, STOP LOOKING!
Have the morality police really flipped their lids this badly? I know that conservative adults are busy trying to control people and tell them how to live their lives, but even this is an assault against our basic rights as citizens. The moral watchdogs are grasping at straws here. Even the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) has jumped on this one like flies to stinky shit. Parents are outraged. 
Allow me to cite their reasoning for this law:
 "exposing underwear or body parts in an indecent or vulgar manner or that disrupts the orderly learning environment."


Now here's the deal, and I'm going beyond the constitutional issue of First Amendment rights of Freedom of speech and expression. Let's change our paradigm for a moment if you will.
Does this mean that a woman or man cannot wear a bathing suit in public? Just as with the pants sagging there IS a small piece of cloth covering the genitals. YOU are NOT the one that has to face the fact of looking stupid... the person sagging does. Also, it's not like these teenagers are out waving their cocks around in public. THAT I would say might warrant some attention and perhaps a citation. 
Let me break it down further and state for the record that this law has NOTHING to do with ANYTHING besides people wanting to control other people. And let's be more honest... the MAJORITY of these fucking assholes who want to be the morality police are overzealous religious fanatics. Here's a poster of what I think about this issue:

If you can't read the small print, then I'll spell it out for you:
Religion is like a penis.
It's fine to have one
It's fine to be proud of it.
But please don't whip it out in public and start waving it around.
And PLEASE don't try to shove it down my children's throats.

As my readers, you make your own decisions about what you find morally acceptable and you enforce them in your OWN LIFE, NOT OTHERS!! Also please remember that the United States of America is NOT a Christian nation!! We are a nation of TOLERANCE, a melting pot of diversity and many different religions that INCLUDES Muslims, Jews, Christians, Hindus, Atheists, Agnostics, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, Satan worshipers, Buddhists, and more...
It is NOT our diversity that divides us, but EVIL people that want us to keep fighting while they are busy raping us and taking away our rights and civil liberties in the meantime. Our diversity IS what once made this nation great and it can make our nation great once again. It is our diversity that brings people from different cultural backgrounds and different walks of life together. Together we can triumph and succeed, but divided and squabbling amongst ourselves, we will and we ARE failing miserably as a nation.

This has been the Quiet Mouse. Open your eyes, your ears, and your heart. CHOSE to be above the pettiness and worry about YOU and how YOU can HELP rather than HURT others. Life is NOT about who has the most toys. Life is about helping others. Let's keep the focus where it belongs, eyes toward Washington D.C. where corporate driven politicians are laughing at us as they help the banks and big businesses STEAL our lives and futures away from us all. It really IS the upper 1% against US, the bottom 99%.
Peace. Love. Truth. Respect. Honor.

Dreaming

Now the Quiet Mouse doesn't usually do poetry. I once wanted to be a philosopher and now I'm a Buddhist, funny how life works. Any way we chose to look at the world we live, we all share a common bond. I hope you read these words I have written and question the life you live. Can we be doing better. Are we loving ourselves as well as our family, children, and friends? I hope to inspire people to write. I hope to inspire people to express themselves. Everyone has an inner artist. Everyone has inner beauty. Everyone is a creator and a destroyer. Everyone is everyone, yet we are all one. Funny how it works like that... I hope that this message grows. I hope it expands. I hope that it spreads like a virus to all corners of the globe. I have so much love for my brothers and sisters of the world. Here is my poem now...

Dreaming

My mind tends to wonder
wherever it may roam
while my body stays in one place
which probably is home
it takes me places
never been to before
places never heard of
in myth or folklore
I drift from place to place
and sometimes I see
through other people's eyes
looking right at me
raindrops fall down
on my white skin
tempting, urging, pushing
trying to get in
I hear the sounds of silence
coming from the dead
I lay awake in solitude
seeing pictures in my head.

I entered this poem into a contest recently and made it to the semi-finals. The winners will be determined at the end of this month.
The message of this poem is to keep dreaming. Our dreams fuel our passions. Our dreams fuel our art. Our dreams fuel the basic core of our character. Keep your dreams alive. Keep art and music in our schools. Keep the dreams of our fellow men and women alive. This has been the Quiet Mouse.
Peace. Love. Truth. Respect. Honor.

I LOVE boobs!!

Hello and welcome to another edition of the Quiet Mouse Strikes Back!! I am the blog host, QM and I want to be my silly ass self and say emphatically that "I LOVE BOOBS!"
But before you read down any further just remember this: I WRITE AN ADULT BLOG... so comment if you dare... lol


So basically, I know I don't have to say anything... the subject really speaks for itself, but hey, this is my blog and it would be boring if I didn't have an opinion. If you're gonna be a hater... SHUT THE FUCK UP! Go read someone else's blog. This one is mine.
"But Quiet Mouse... you sound like just another male asshole."
Really... No shit? hahahahahahahahahahaha... Well opinions are like assholes and we all have one of those.

So... on with the topic.
You do NOT have to be a man to appreciate a nice pair of boobs. Hell, I believe that most of the efforts women make to accentuate their cleavage is NOT for the sake of men... no no no, silly... women are nearly constantly feeling the need to COMPETE and COMPARE themselves with other women. And I know very few people, men or women, that are happy with who they are as a person.
The redheads don't want to be, the blondes want to be brunette. Brunettes want to be blonde or red-headed.
Same goes for boobs. The women with barely mosquito bites on her chest wants implants and the woman with naturally large breasts has back pain and can't wait to get them cut down to normal size.
And let's talk about bras :)
Let's be honest here for a moment. The bra company has to make the A and B cup bras in much more stylish fabric, colors, and styles. Larger bras are generally plain colors and less exotic. Why is this? Well girls with smaller boobs need a little more advertisement to make them look appealing.
Now I am an equal opportunity boob lover as they come in many different shapes and sizes. However... please do NOT get me started on the Wonder-where the fuck-they went-bra...
On a Freudian level if it is all about sex and aggression, then the ultimate goal of a relationship is to be naked next to a woman or man. I have discussed this before. Just another example of the lie that people are living in... but you know what... fuck that! It annoys me also how some women do their best efforts to show off these lovely soft breasts, and MEN like me get called out like I'm some kind of asshole for not only appreciating, but sometimes get caught staring... It kinda happens like that. I've been in love with boobs and wanted to have my hands on them since I was born, REMEMBER??
Oh yeah, women want to forget that they like to suckle on a boob too ;)
Funny how life goes like that.
This is all for my blog, so... enjoy some more pics, since it will probably only be dudes reading this particular blog, lol...
Hope we can all find happiness with who we ARE, NOT what tv or society tells us is the "normal" (which by the way is ONLY a cycle on the washing machine)...
This has been the one and only Quiet Mouse.
Peace. Love. Respect. Honesty. Harmony.

Rant and Rave

Hello this is Quiet Mouse
this is my rant and rave
so sit down, shut up
Don't ask me to behave
I work my ass off
but feel like a slave
I like being a hair monkey
I'm never gonna shave
constantly need money
how can I ever save
when I'm spending all I make
every dime that I have
no thanks from the world
for all that I gave
Happiness is now my search
with the Buddha on my side
I don't have to run any longer
or find a place to hide
Can't go anywhere now,
but at least I have a ride
instead I sit alone
thinking of whats on the inside
introspective simple
meditiation on my mind
deep inside my soul
the answers I will find
but for the moment all I can do
is get my frustrations out in rhyme
all day alone, sitting, wishing, thinking
with an infinite amount of time.
Keep on reading, keep on studying
keep your business out of mine
no need for drama or violence
only love, peace and the devine.

This has been the Quiet Mouse...

A Life of Boredom

We seem as humans to find regular life boring, so we create drama and emotional instability. We have fallen so far from our basic human behavior of being hunters and gatherers... oh but we always forget that there are and have always been 2 other types of people: warriors and politicians (swindlers and crooks).
Think about it like a yin/yang... it's the constant battle of what is right and good (hunters & gatherers) vs. the unjust, malicious, sociopathic, and just plain evil (often personified by the warriors and politicians).
But there has to be and ebb and flow in the force of nature, the cosmic ocean... or the water gets stagnate and people get bored. Boredom is like idle hands being the devil's playground, thus we have near constant wars. Some boys just never grew up out of the sandbox always with the toys being mine, mine, mine.
They are still playing G.I. Joe except it's someone else's kids that go invade someone else's country in a for-profit war that was instigated under a guise lies and deceptions. Added with fraud, waste, and negligence that puts us already at a VERY heavy toll.
So I guess there's not enough action going on so we have to ;) "Wag the Dog" and invent a war. Except here's the part where the problem comes in... well let's list a couple shall we?
1. Even though the wars are unconstitutional we are stuck there because we have completely destabilized their countries infrastructure and economy.
2. We've pissed off all our allies and acted like schoolyard bullies with our dominating military presence in all corners of the globe... NOW the Middle East
3. Since we DID invade 2 countries, it's kinda understandable that they DON'T WANT US THERE. Period!!
"Terrorists" are created daily as innocent citizens of foreign lands attempt to defend their homes from INVADERS who are SOLELY there to supervise the theft of billions of dollars of natural resources including the blue crystal that powers the blu-ray revolution that can only be found ONE place on the entire planet: Afghanistan... All our "modern advancements" have been at the expense and exploitation of one brown people or another. TRUTH.

Technology is a myth... It does not and is not meant to simplify your life, but rather to complicate it. The technology is becoming a burden to society dumbing down the masses and damaging the basic human bond with the force, the universal spirit.
I suspect that damage is added to the negativity produced from shockingly gruesome and ritualistic animal slaughter. Red meat fuels human anger and aggression... and it tastes good, but still...
Well... it could always be caused by the chemical poisoning we get from vaccines, our tap water, and crop dusted poisons into the air in the form of chem trails?
But I figured it out... here or in a foreign country the goal is the same. Urbanization and depopulation of rural areas where farming is life. In a city it is easier for them to police and pacify you. Like everything else, it is going the way of industrialization with our food. If they control the food, they control what goes in it, how much it costs, and everyone needs to eat, so basically they control YOU too. If they control the food, they control the world. The same thing goes with water, the basic necessity of life, so precious, so pure.
Meanwhile all of our technology that alleviates BOREDOM is distracting YOU from the simplistic and obvious truth... the answer is NOT to over-complicate, but rather to simplify, meaning letting go of attachment to things and realizing that the only thing with true value is us. We ARE the 5th element, the force. When we open our minds and take off our shoes we can feel it.
But... the world is a tumultuous spiral headed in a direction that is ultimately unsustainable and unattainable. We live on a finite planet. If the people in charge were really smart they would realize that the jungles and wilderness areas would be best served intact. Beyond the countless jungle animals, there are also thousands of plants with medicinal properties.
Here's a thought... we have to wear shoes so we cannot receive the energy from the Earth. Barefoot in the grass and dirt is where we feel the most alive. That's why they don't want us farming and growing our own food. It strengthens our natural bond and frees us from the captivity of technology and distraction away from the obvious truth that we are slaves to the technology. We are jacked into the Matrix. It is only when we unplug do we actually find the REAL meaning of your life: You ready???

Leave the world a better place than it was before you

This is why we must have adversity because it takes humans adversity to realize the necessary knowledge & lessons that cause us to keep us attached to the false idols of this materialistic world. And the people we call "BUMS", maybe they are just liberated and free?

The measure of a man is not what he has, but what he shares with others and what he gives back.

Good men have been blind, but can be healed.

What if a bad man in this life becomes a bug in infinite afterlives being stepped on again and again?

Each of us has a destiny of our own, each not the same, but each equally as vital to the system... however the system is broken and there is nowhere else for us to go. The ONLY thing we NEED to do is simplify. Life is only difficult because we have made it that way.

This is what we have become...

This has been the Quiet Mouse... over and out

Divorced and single again

Hello once again my friends, followers, and open minded knowledge seekers! Well, if you don't know me by now, I AM the one and only Quiet Mouse.
I think society gets the idea that all men are misogynistic assholes and incapable of true feelings of relationship pain. A lot of people are confused and believe that EVERY man is constantly looking for something better, as if the grass is greener on the other side of the fence.
Perhaps this is true... maybe it ISN'T true either. I think truth is all a matter of perspective. Most of things just ARE... WE are the ones, as humans, who feel the constant need of labeling everything and we also feel the need to over-complicate many many things, especially relationships.

So I am gonna state some of the thoughts of men, and I do not necessarily support or condone the theories here... just sharing info:
1. "Commitment and monogamy are a woman's idea"
In the animal kingdom (which we DO belong, by the way) there are only a few other animals that mate for life. There are many more species that the under-riding function is reproduction and propagation of the species... however as humans we have the ability, although not necessarily the brains, to defy our basic instincts and CHOSE a life more meaningful than the sharing of fluids in our genitals... again, some people do NOT possess this ability to STOP having kids... or maybe it's their fucked up archaic, outdated religion that tells them to "be fruitful and multiply" so they have more kids than they can monetarily handle.
2. Women outnumber men on this planet
It is about 60% women and 40% men on this planet. Why? Well, women naturally have a longer lifespan than most men. This is in addition to WAR, prison, and other factors that limit the number of available men to be potential baby's daddy's.
3. All women are bitches.
I don't support this theory, but I also do NOT like when a woman feels like she has to be proud of her insecurity and hatefulness towards men. It is NOT the next guys fault that you were hurt by other men in the past. PERIOD. A lot of women run off a good man because of hateful talk and actions based on previous relationships. This goes both ways since both sides act like they are justified in their heinous actions towards those of the opposite gender.
4. Sex is the most important thing in a relationship.
There is no doubt that physical attraction is pivotal to the beginning of a relationship. This is pretty basic on our human instincts. However on a Freudian level, if everything is about sex and aggression then why the pretentiousness and faking of it all. People need to get rid of the "Wonder-where-the-fuck-they-went" bra's, the fake eyelashes, the tube sock in the pants, implants, plastic surgery, and all the other bullshit that is NOT who you really are. Let's be honest, looks and pretentious ideas like weight can and DO change. Everything changes in life, people WILL get old and wrinkly. It happens despite how much people work out or wear the special make-up. At the end when all is said and done we ALL have to face the person in the mirror and we ALL have to talk to the person laying in the bed next to us.

Okay, so my synopsis is that the majority of people are afraid and insecure of the opposite gender. But like what I said about the green grass earlier is this: it's the same grass on BOTH sides of the fence, it's just the shadow that changes your perspective of what your lawn looks like that is skewed.
Also, NOT every man wants to be single OR divorced. Like many women, men are also led to believe from Disney movies, books, and society that love will be everlasting and true. This is a LIE. Any relationship from marriage to parenthood, or vice versa, a child to parent relationship requires lots of EFFORT!!
Most people in this day and age of wastefulness, anger, and disappointment are confused because life is NOT a Disney movie or some cheese-ball romance novel that is written by a woman. Life, like relationships takes a lot of effort and the sad fact is that a lot of people (men and women) are NOT willing enough to put out the effort it takes to repair the rifts that WILL eventually form in a relationship. A man and a woman will NEVER agree on everything. It just will not happen, and besides, wouldn't life be boring if we all thought the same way?
So back to the divorce part: making mistakes is part of the life experience and NO, not everyone that gets married is actually MEANT to last forever... as if we really have a concept of that depth of time and space anyway, hahahahaha
But Quiet Mouse, me and my man have been together for years and we never fight...
I say fantastic! Congrats that you have been able to find that ONE person to give you unconditional love. I personally feel that the very idea of unconditional love grows with maturity. Unfortunately our sexual hormones do NOT go quite so slowly.
It DOES take adversity and strife for us all to have a basis for comparison to appreciate the good times. It also DOES suck when you want to be with that forever person but are all alone in the world. What's worse is that many people assume that because a man is divorced that he WANTS to be separated from his children too. Granted there ARE a lot of asshole losers out there who do NOT take care of their children, but it isn't the same for everyone. WE, myself included, all need to stop generalizing and making presumptuous thoughts about who and what a MAN is. A REAL MAN is the one who takes care of his kids despite divorce or separation from the mom.
The world DOES need more men to stand up and act like a real man and take care of those kids. But what happens when the man DOES want that relationship with his children and has to fight with the kids mom to get adequate visitation time?
Questions ring through all the time, but sometimes answers aren't always so clear

As for me, the Quiet Mouse... I've made more than my fair share of mistakes in relationships. Do I enjoy being single again after many years of marriage? Not really. Am I glad to be out of that relationship with the ex? Of course, but lets make a distinction here: even though I do not want a relationship with this person, does NOT that I wish any ill will or pain, NONE AT ALL. In fact I wish her the most happiness in the world. I hope she is able to find that special someone too one of these days. More importantly is that I did NOT get divorced from my kids, only their mom. Remember that fellas.

Final thoughts would be that I think people need to work on themselves first and foremost before being able to accept and share their life with someone else. Communication IS paramount for making let alone keeping a relationship. Work on how you talk to one another and please please please heed this next line.
If you treat yourself like a whore or slut... guess what??? That is EXACTLY how you will be treated back by others. 

This has been the Quiet Mouse once again!! Keep your hearts open, honest, and secure... you DON'T need a relationship for this, but if you DO have it... it WILL make your future relationships that much the better. And you MUST love yourself before you can invite someone to join hands with you. This doesn't have to be selfish, in fact altruism is much more potent of an emotion.
Peace. Love. Truth. Respect. Honesty.

The 8 Veils of Slavery

Hello once again! Welcome back! It is the one and only Quiet Mouse ready to open your mind and free you from the Matrix of illusion and deceit. Now this is not an original idea from me, but I have read it many times and I want to share and perhaps help you think of things that you had previously not thought of. Sometimes in life we never think of the obvious, but then we hear it and it's like the light bulb going on above our heads like "AHA!"
So let's not waste any time and jump right into this heavy shit...

1. The First veil
With over 6.5 billion people on this planet, Earth, over 90% will live and die without having seriously contemplated anything other than what it takes to keep their daily lives together... nothing short of basic survival instinct

2. The Second veil
10% will pierce the first veil to explore the world of history, the relationship between man and government and the meaning of self-government through Constitutional and common law to find the world of POLITICS, be active, VOTE, and have an educated opinion. These opinions are shaped by the physical world around us; people have a tendency to accept that government officials, network media personalities, and other so-called "experts" are voices of authority.
-90% of people in this group will live and die without having pierced the second veil

3. The Third Veil
10% of those behind the second veil will pierce through it to find that the resources of the world, INCLUDING PEOPLE, are controlled by the extremely wealthy and powerful families whose incorporated old world assets have, with modern extortion strategies (gambling, Wall-Street, banking, credit cards etc.), become the foundation upon which the world's economies are currently indebted
-90% of people in this group will live and die without having pierced the third veil

4. The Fourth Veil
10% of those people will pierce through to the 4th veil to discover the Illuminati, Freemasons, Jesuits, Skull & Crossbones, and other secret societies. These secret societies use symbology and perform ceremonies that perpetuate the generational transfers of arcane knowledge that is used to keep the ordinary people in political, economic, and spiritual bondage to the oldest bloodlines on Earth.
-90% of people in this group will live and die without having pierced the 4th veil.

5. The Fifth Veil
10% of those people who pierce through to the 5th veil to learn that the secret societies are so far advanced technologically that controlling the actions of people is what their members do as offhandedly as we tell our kids when they must go to bed.
-90% of people in this group will live and die without having pierced the 5th veil.

6. The Sixth Veil
10% of those people will pierce through to the 6th veil to where demons, aliens, and fallen angels we thought were the fictional monsters of childhood literature are REAL and are the controlling forces behind these secret societies.
-90% of the people in this group will live and die without piercing the 6th veil.

7. The Seventh Veil
10 % of those people will pierce through to the 7th veil. By this point most have found God and strive to become a people so enlightened that they brighten the world around them NO MATTER WHAT.

8. The Eighth Veil
Piercing through this veil reveals the true nature of God and (his) pure energy that is the life force of ALL living things.

If the math is accurate, there are ONLY about 60,000 people on the entire planet who have pierced through to the 6th veil. The irony here is too incredible. Those who are stuck behind veils one through five have little choice but to view the people who HAVE pierced the veils beyond them as INSANE. With each veil pierced exponentially shrinking numbers of increasingly enlightened people are deemed INSANE by exponentially increasing masses of decreasingly enlightened people.

-Behind the first 2 veils we find the great majority of people on the planet. They are TOOLS of the State. Second veilers are the gullible voters whose ignorance justifies the actions of politicians who send off first veilers to DIE in foreign lands as cannon fodder. Their combined stations in life are to believe that the self-serving machinations of the power-elite are matters of national security worth DYING for.

-Third, fourth, fifth, and sixth veilers are of increasing liability to the State because of their decreasing ability to be used as tools to consolidate power and wealth of the many into the hands of the power-elite. It is common for these people to sacrifice MORE of their relationships with friends and family, their professional careers and personal freedom with every veil they pierce

-So now we know that it's not that our countrymen and women are so committed to their lives that "they don't want to see" the mechanisms of their enslavement and exploitation. They simply "CAN'T SEE" as surely as I cannot see what's on the other side of a closed curtain.

-The purpose of this discourse is:
1. To help the handful of people in the latter veils to understand why the masses have little choice but to interpret their clarity as INSANITY.
2. To help people behind the first two veils understand that living, breathing, and thinking are JUST THE BEGINNING.
3. To show people that the greatest adventure of our lives is behind the NEXT veil because that is just one less veil between ourselves and God, the creator of all life.

5 Best Current Actors

Hello and welcome back to the Quiet Mouse strikes back. I know it's been a while and for that I do sincerely apologize, my friends. I basically took the summer off to spend with my kids working on becoming a better man and father... I'm sure since we are all adults and this IS an adult blog, I'm sure you will all understand.
Let's not get hung up on details here, because I could go on and on about nothing like Seinfeld for an hour, so let's take this journey into the movies once again since those who know me know how much of a movie buff I am. This list is NOT inclusive of all the good actors out there, OR all of the said actors best movies...
Now bear in mind as always, these are MY opinions... so don't hate

1. Johnny Depp
Hits include: the Pirates of the Caribbean series as Captain Jack Sparrow, Edward Scissor-Hands, Sweeny Todd, Alice in Wonderland, Rango, the Corpse Bride, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Blow, Chocolat, and the masterful portrayal of Hunter S. Thompson in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

2. Tom Hanks
This fantastic actor claims roles in: Big, Toy Story 1, 2, &3 as Woody, Dragnet, the Money Pit, Castaway, Forrest Gump, the Green Mile, Saving Private Ryan, the Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons, Sleepless in Seattle, You've Got Mail, and more...

3. Harrison Ford
He is one of MY very favorite actors since childhood. I grew up watching his films including:
Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Cowboys & Aliens, Blade Runner, Air Force One, Clear & Present Danger, the Fugitive, Witness, Presumed Innocent, et. al

4. Robert Downey Jr.
Often controversial, I truly believe this man belongs on this list with films like:
Iron Man 1 & 2, the hilarious Due Date, Sherlock Holmes, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Back to School, the Soloist, and Chaplin

5. Leonardo DiCaprio
With blockbusters like Titanic and Inception this man deserves a spot on this list for sure in addition to films like: the Departed, Shutter Island, Blood Diamond, The Beach, Gangs of New York, The Aviator, Catch Me if You Can, and the classic Romeo + Juliet

The hardest part of thinking about this list is the people who didn't make the top 5... so with due recognition and a TIE for #6 we have 4 actors that deserve recognition
Bruce Willis
Jeff Bridges
Liam Neeson
Daniel Craig

I want to finish off this blog by listing some of Hollywood's BEST actors that are under rated and often forgotten, but are each blessed with a huge amount of talent
Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ken Watanabe, Tom Hardy, Guy Pierce, Mark Strong, Thomas Hayden-Church, and Matthew Fox
If you don't know who any of these actors are, I suggest you crawl out from under that rock you've been living under, lol... OR you could just look them up. IMDB.com (Internet Movie Data Base) has filmographies for all these actors.
Like always... see you at the movies my friends, this has been the Quiet Mouse.
Peace. Love. Truth. Respect.
