I was on South West Airlines coming from Jacksonville, Fla. to Austin, Texas and there was this real beautiful airline stewardess. She would not smile so I gave her one of my superhero\mopboy cards. I told her that I was a visual artist and a stage performer and I told her that I danced to bad to the bone in Dallas. Texas and brought the house down. I told her about the web sites.
A little while later, I was talking to her and everyone that was sitting near by was listening and I'm telling about my story and my rehabilitation.
I said you are to beautiful not to smile and she laughed

Playing with God
I was coming back from Ga. by way of Fort Lauderdale Fa. to Austin Texas on South West airlines and I was sitting in the second seat on the right side and this family was sitting in the first seat on the left side. The father & mother were on the in side and the four year old daughter was sitting in the isle seat. The 2 year old son was standing in isle. He could not speak and he had just learned how to walk and was looking down the isle. Suddenly he started to run down the isle and my left arm went out to stop him and the tickle spider came out and started tickling him and he laughed and balled up on the floor and was still laughing. I stopped and he got up and looked at me and looked at my left hand. He took one step forward and the tickle spider went into action and started to tickle him again and he laughed and balled up on the floor. By that time his mother had some rail road cars that were magnetized and his attention was focused on the train/ Two minutes later he was playing with him motor cycle cop and driving on the wall in front of the front seat.
The next morning I was having coffee with God and He says "Did you know you were playing with me.

Casting a seed on 105 degree asphalt and expecting it to grow and God cracks up laughing.   Saint Mikie has an idea to revolutionize the art world and the auto sales industry.
   Mikie goes to Toyota and explains about putting one of my paintings on the back of a pick up tailgate.   “We don’t do that because of reason 1, 2, 3.   Then mikie goes to Nissan and they say the same.
   Mikie’s bubble has burst and he goes to imagine Art and explains his revolutionary idea to Debbie and she just starts laughing.  I am hurt to the bone.
   The next morning 4 to 6 am I have my quite time with God and He is just cracking up with laughter and later He says “that’s what I like about you, you get back up every time you fall.  

Who do I talk to?

   I get up in the morning and ask myself.   How can I write a better script that is better than dancing to “Bad to the bone.”   What do I say? 

   In may mind I talk to myself and say those flowers are sure beautiful.   Now I can think of something to write.  Should I write about my stay in Europe?   The things I could write about but that was 50 years ago but it is just like remembering what happened like it was yesterday.

  Boy those flowers are sure beautiful.   I think I’ll rearrange then and make them more beautiful.   What can I write about?  Food! Ten foods that I like and a story……….   Astra Gallus which is a bitter but a real shock to the pallet.   Calamari, squid, which is like rudder fish.  Enough, about food.

   What can I write about?  Boy I think I’ll spray my new sunflowers with miracle grow and see how much more beautiful they are now.  

  Each flower is different and more beautiful. They are all at different stages in their life and some are more buff than others.   The older flowers are buffus maximus, a new word to describe flower.

  What can I write?  Maybe about my paintings, maybe about my calendars, maybe about high school, maybe about college. 

   All the time I’m asking my new and beautiful in my mind.

   All my flowers do is just sit there and smile from ear to ear and give off this positive energy.

   A red flag comes up “You have all ready done a script about flowers.

My flowers just sit and smile at me.

 

 

 

I could be arrested

   I was at the University of Texas and found out that I had graduated with a B A in psychology and I decided to go and have a beer at the “hole in the wall where I use to work.

   I went to the Hole in the wall and it was happy hour and I ordered a pitcher.  I drank on the pitcher alone and finished three beers and started on the fourth.

 

 

 

 

  I said it’s time to go.  I walked outside and unlocked my bicycle and walked to 26^th & Guadalupe     and waited for the light to change so I could walk across the street,  The bike hit a pot hole and fell over and I fell with the bike.   I picked it up and walked to the corner and sat and said to myself :You are drunk”   Two police cars pulled up and the policeman gave me a sobriety test . Hold your right arm out close your eyes and touch your nose.   I did   Now walk heel to toe and walk 10 steps and count out loud.   I did   Now do it in reverse,  I did.   Now say your ABC’s .   I did

   Policeman said you can be arrested for public intoxication.   Why do you speak with a slur?   Because I’ve had an emergency tracheotomy.   Why do you limp?  “Because I have one leg shorter due to a broken keg that healed shorter.

Where do you live?   I told him and he said I’ll give you a ride home.  When I got home I said “thank you.”  I went into my apartment and 

Saint Mikie meets Ruthie in the back room,
Mikie does volunteering at Imagine art by picking up food at the Food Bank for the Imagine Art family and with it comes some milk crates that have to be returned, I asked Ruthi where the store room for the return stuff and showed me the place in the back of the building and we were talking. The next morning and my quite time with God. Darth Vader raises his head in the back of my mind. Says "I wanted a kiss, you should have kissed her because she is so much like her she is different, I am different. She is a good artist I am a good artist. She plays the guitar and I drive around in the shark mobile.
Then I come back to earth and say Don't step out of bounds, don't be rude and be macho. Don't do it or you will burn in hell.
I didn't even and the next day I was talking with god and He said "YOU DID RIGHT."

Saint Mikie visits The University of Texas, Freshman speech path. class and brings the house down.
I spoke at a class and told them that humor is the best avenue to explore in rehabilitation. When you can laugh at yourself you have conquered half of rehabilitation. Physical is the next plan of attack. I told them about my medical problems,the broken bones, punctured lungs, and many
other problems.
My short lecture with my bold red & white striped shirt
I told them about flowers and how much positive energy is in flowers after you spray them with water. I showed 5 of my paint and the new Superhero with the bold red & white shirt.
The 100+students gave me a standing ovation and when I left they gave me another ovation.
Needless to say, God and i had a very long discussion about that history making speech
,

Mikie and the wounded knee episode
When I was doing my voulenteer work at VSA arts. I vacum three small quibicale and mop the art room, empty the trash and recycle.
I was doing the recycling and my ankle landed at an angle and my weak ankle gave way and my knee came crashing down on the cement carpeted floor with 250 lbs of force. This was 7:10 in the morning and no one was around. I finished the volunteer work and went home to rested, At 12:00A.M. and I had to go to the bathroom and I had to walk on crutches in the dark over two pairs of discarded shoes, some shorts and t-shirt. Needless to say I didn't make it . I fell at the foot of the bed and decided "I didn't need to go to the bathroom now the problem was to get back in bed and with a lot of trial and effort I made it back in bed.
An hour later I had to go to the bathroom. I made it without moving my left legend I was standing at the commode and was worried about the angle of the dangle. Needless to say, I ended up sitting down and the shock fairy lite up the bathroom with electricity in my knee.
N0w, it's been 5 weeks and age and my agile cat like movement are not quite what it should be.

Mikie vs space alien transmitter.
I had a cyst that popped and I reconized that it was a big pimple and me being one of the best pimple popper this side of the Mississippi river continued to pick until I realized that i should have this biopsied, cleaned and some medicine. S0 I went to the hospital and said "I have a space alien transmitter that my body is trying to reject causing a pimple. The Doctor looked at the pimple took some for biopsy and gave me some antibiotics and said that it was not a space alien implant. What a relief

Superhero and his positive experience.
Painting trash cans. Ruthie wanted a trash can painted of a sky diving chili pepper with some rainbows,red chili pepper with black boots and a black hat. I did a light blue sky and painted the top lid light blue. Then I painted vapor trails of red, orange, and yellow behind the head and coming off each boot. She loved the trash can that she bought with the sky diving chili pepper and I was so proud of it I showed some friends and one said "When you step on the peddle it's like the parachute opens. How much more perfect can this be?


The rose from Mike.
this is a story about flowers and rewarding myself with new flowers. Eventually the rose got placed in its own vase, When I sprayed it with water and sat down to look at the rose with 1ooo diamonds. I said "Thank you lord for this rose with a 1000 diamonds.

Superhero downsized
As the story goes the superhero mopboy is performing on stage and mopping floors in his spare time and being downsized. His new job pays him for vacuuming and emptying the trash and was even down sized from that.
Lost Gospel of Mikie, "Its not how many times one falls but how many times one gets back up."
Now I am a food service coordinator Imagine Art. I retrieve food from the food bank and with my truck with a shark biting the front tire on both sides. I am a different sort of person.
Brain damage does not give me the right to go out of bounds but it does give me the right to be different

Road Rash
I was going to my psychiatrist appointment and I was coming out of walmart and had the straight line but I stopped to let cars turn in front of me. I waited two cars turned I moved forward and three cars with stop sign were in front of me and a fourth was trying ti get in ahead of me.
Not so fast tow can play at this game and I would not let the fourth car in.
I went on the access road to get on hi way 71. I was in the turning lane and straight lane which immediately after was the access to hi-way 71. Other cars would get int the straight lane and as soon as they crossed the stop light they would put on their turn signal to get into the lane which got onto 71. So I had to wait through four stop light changes to get back onto hi-way 71
Talk about road rash??

Saint Mikie and his home grown therapy. Everybody is made up of three energy's. The positive the negative and the physical energy's As I say God vs Darheh Vador and his band of stampeding wild elephants. The first thing to do [physical energy] is to buy yourself flowers as needed all the time. The next is to think of yourself as a superhero and what kind of out fit would you wear to be different, not to go out of bounds. The next thing to do is relax with a good cup of coffee and your new flowers in the morning,
Now we get into writing stories about myself as a superhero and maybe try to see if you can put this on stage. Lets go one step farther and try to capture the superhero on canvass and what he or she would be doing to capture the true assents of the superhero

The legend of Saint Mikie and painting the trash can.
I first got a trash can with a step open lid. I drew in a sky diving chill pepper. I painted the trash can sky blue and I tried to paint and finally finger painted the sky blue. It wasn't right so I sprayed it with another sky blue and then I painted red chili pepper with black boots, gloves, and a black cowboy hat falling through the air but it wasn't right. IN my time every morning with Good or my positive energy we finally came to the conclusion that the chili pepper needs three rainbow vapor trails one from the back of his head and one from each boot. The rainbow will be red, orange, yellow, white, then sky blue. The trash can painting is great and when I buy some orange paint I will have painted an original trash can. My original trash can is scarred but it does let me smile.
