Mice are vindictive and Milli loves Vanilli

Once upon a time in a not to distant wall there was a mouse village. In this mouse village lived a family of mice. There was a Mom, a Dad and three brother mice. Two of the brother mice were strong providers in the village and were upheld as the most daring and brave in the village. The other brother, Buford, was not the brightest, or most graceful, in fact he was kind of seen as a little mentally challenged. The brave brothers would constantly taunt the weaker brother for not being as cunning or daring as them. Mice are a very vindictive sort you see. No matter what Buford did he always seemed to get the raw end of the deal, and believe me he tried as often as he could to prove himself. Tired of being constantly berated he decided to go out and once again make a valiant attempt to redeem himself. He happened to come across an apartment with a delicious scent. Eager and hungry from his journey he decided to investigate. As he scurried around following the scent he came to a great wall. He was sure the source of the scent was coming from atop the wall. He surveyed his surroundings and realized that there was a way to get to the top, how ever it was dangerous and would require a lot of steadiness. "This is it," he thought "my chance is right here in front of me to prove that I am great. He started his ascent up the wall. Inches away from the top he discovered that there was a great hole he had mistaken for another wall. The hole was deep and he knew if he fell into it he would not escape. Instead of turning back, like he should have, he decided "Fuck it, I'm going for it." He took a giant leap for to try and reach to top where the scent was coming from and he lost his balance and fell int the great hole. He was stuck. He tried and tried to get out. He tried so many times he eventually because fatigued and decided his fate was sealed. As he sat there wondering if anyone would care that he was gone or be sad, he said to him self. "This is the worst day since yesterday. In fact it's much worse." He waited all night until the daylight returned. All of the sudden he heard a noise and then saw a giant peering down at him. The giant jumped back startled. Slowly the giant returned and the giant said. "You stupid creepy little fucker, you are so lucky you don't even know it. You will live to see another day." Of course Buford did not understand what the giant was saying, as mice can not understand the giants you see. All of the sudden the hole started moving and shaking and the giant was muttering. Buford was scared for his life. He had already been so scared that he pooped a ton when he initially fell, and it was happening again. Seconds later the hole was turned upside down and Buford hit the soft grass. He was outside, he was free! Scared out of his mind he ran as fast as he could back home to tell of his horrible night. With a few revisions of course. This story is completely true, I can assure you of that.
Note: I found a live mouse in my trash can the other morning. I am pretty sure he fell in there trying to get on my counter. He avoided the trap but not the trash. I had a hard time finding a song for this story. Do I use a song about being trapped or about mice? I decided to go with what the mouse may have been thinking when he was chilling in the trash can.

I noticed that there are a lot of skateboarders around downtown Zeeland. Way more than I have ever seen around before. I watched this 8 year old kid kickflip over a ledge the other day outside of my window. It was pretty cool. Any good successfully landed skate trick needs to have a dope back ground song. This would be my pick if I could pull off sweet tricks.

I used to work with this girl named Alison who was one of the best co-workers I have ever had. We clicked, we made a great team and it was always fun to work with her. We had a lot of inside jokes between us. One day we started talking about New Kids On The Block and Milli Vanilli and how much they sucked. She said she didn't like them and I told her that probably makes them sad because I heard they liked her. I came across a Milli Vanill CD (one of the perks of working at a thrift store) and I made word balloons for Rob and Fab expressing how they were her number one fans. I put it in the office for her to find and she thought it was pretty funny. I miss Alli-son. Note: This album cover is great! Look at the hand and then read the title. It totally looks like he's holding him sweetly.
Milli Vanilli - Girl I'm Going To Miss You

This song reminds me of every single video game from the made before the 90's. It's really good for driving on busy highways as well. Actually the Crystal Castles make great dance music. I recommend checking the out.

Way back in the day when I was young we had a thing called Roller Rinks. They seem to have become extinct. I remember every Saturday morning my dad would take my sister and I to skate. I also remember skating parties for school and church. Once I was asked to coupleskate with a girl from school. She was sort of the weird unpopular girl in our grade. She asked a friend of mine to skate with her on coupleskate. In my young ignorance I denied her. Flash back to present day. She is now super hot really cool and totally married. I love this song even though it always reminds me of her. It captures the roller rink experience perfectly. If only M.C. Hammer could be heard in the background.
