Mister Fish Says

MISERY ADORES COMPANY!!!

2008-09-09T13:56:00.000-07:00

Unfortunately we all have someone in our lives who seems to be perpetually unhappy. Though the sun is shimmering gorgeously against the back drop of a cerulean sky, this individual would rather enlist the company of you, "Friend", to hold the umbrella once again for them as they maneuver through their dark, and gloomy existence. It leaves one to wonder, must it always RAIN, Sylvia Plath? The old saying " Misery Loves Company" is the star in a drama I was unwillingly tossed into. Ms. M, as we will refer to her(Misery), came calling in the personification of a mutual friend of myself and boyfriend. She had recently found out that her lover had replaced her for a newer model, and this reality left her a bit undone. So much in fact that she projected her anger toward anyone with even the vaguest of similarities to her ex-lover. Sharing the same Zodiac symbol as her love, I immediately fell victim to persecution. Her pain and loathing of situations completely irrelevant to my love life were brought very close to home...actually they were placed directly into my bed. Her therapy in "over coming" her personal toils was to translate her failed relationship issues onto myself and lover's relationship. She did this by identifying the characteristic that her ex and I commonly posses. These similarities were concrete reasons why my man should reconsider his choices in loving me. Did she really desire for him to chuck me the duece? Was he actually considering it? A conversation between myself and lover quickly calmed my nerves, however I still racked my subconscious in hopes of finding her intentions behind this Smear Campaign against Mister Fish. I can only assume that her pain was so "DEEP" that she couldn't bear it alone. My advice to those who feel that pain and self loathing is a"group" exercise, guess again. The only way to get over pain is to LET IT GO! STOP DWELLING! Besides, most people cannot stand a party pooper!

A New Year, A New Begining

On the eve of my 26th birthday, I sit by my window smoking a cigarette. I am in a somber mood, simply reflecting upon the passing year. Had I attained all that I'd assumed I would by now? Am I emotionally ready to depart from 25,and embarke upon 26,which is just 4 stops shy from the monumental 30. As a boy, I always assumed I'd be married by now. 27 was the year in which I would be financially secure, and by 28th I'd be welcoming the birth of my first child. Funny how God works,I guess. Although the ride has not been as predictable as I'd once configured, it has been quite magical. In retrospect, 25 as a whole was truly a year of childlike wonder,where I made the transition from adolescence stepping into manhood...one Prada loafer at a time. Now Ladies, I admit to having a tad bit of apprehensions accepting the "RESPONSIBILTY" of being adult, and believe me I surprised even myself.

Really,Now?!

I recently attended the annual Birthday B.B.Q for my fabulous girlfriend, where the composition of trendy hipster and posh artsy individuals make for wonderful conversations. I decided that with the ratio of men and women being pretty similar, however age ranges between the two sexes differing slightly (older gents, younger women), I would be introduced to a vast array of ideals to feast upon. The topic of conversation was "Relationships", and having chosen such a broad topic with all intentions, I sat back and was driven deep into the psyche of the party goers. Coincidentally enough, the destination majority of these voyages, though different in sex and social standing, made the common stop at a little place called "Independence".

Which leaves me with the question: Can Independence in a Relationship truly exist?

Furnished by Wikipedia we review the word: INDEPENDENCE:

the self-government of a nation,country,or state by its residents and population,or some portion thereof, generally exercising sovereignty.

The term Independence is used in contrast of subjugation,which refers to a region as a territory-subject to the political and military control of an external government. The word is sometimes used in a weaker sense to contrast with hegemony, the direct control of one nation by another,more powerful nation.

Independence can be the initial status of an emerging nation(often filling a political void), but is often an emancipation from some dominating power. It can be argued that Independence is a negative definition: the state of not being controlled by another power though colonialism, expansionism or imperialism. Independence may be obtained by decolonization, or by separation or dissolution.

Does this definition describe what the term Independent means to you?

Are You a Spoiled Princess?

2008-07-03T12:07:00.000-07:00

Ladies! I am sure that we have all had moments when we felt that the world should revolve around us, sometime overlooking the considerations of others. I have the privilage of being in a relationship with a wonderful man, who for the most parts allows me to often get my way...I am the prince! Unfortunately I sometimes allow my royal tirades to get the best of me, and he politely informs me "you're THERE", meaning that I have pushed the envelope all the way past go! Ladies, I ask that you post a comment detailing your worst "princess" moment. Don't be shy, I'm sure that you aren't as big a Diva as you think.

The Art of Creating the Masterpiece " You"

You are powerful. Men know this, and that is why you are feared, and at times made to be subdued. However, as women you are genetically dis positioned to be creators,nurturers and possessors of the ability to evoke raw male emotion. And with this power, you still fail to understand the mechanics of the male mind. You intentionally allow men to "relieve you" of your strength, and unintentionally fall victim to misleading deceptions that are privy in many relationships. This will be the final day of such confusions, as you will read and learn the principles men use to gain and maintain Power.

Boss Lady

Scenario: You have recently started a new position at a Fortune 500 company. Your talents as well as amazing resume have afforded you the opportunity to work directly with the CFO of your division, which will lead to a wealth of knowledge, positioning you in direct future advancement. However as the days progress, you realize that there are flaws in the way that the CFO conducts business, and careless mistakes that he continuously makes are those that you spot miles away. Do you call him on his flaws showing him who really is in charge, or just watch?

Rule #1

Never Outshine The Master

Always make those above you feel comfortably superior. In your desire to please or impress them, do not go too far in displaying your talents or you may accomplish the opposite, which will inspire fear and insecurity. Make your masters appear more brilliant than they are and you will attain the heights of power.

Resolution: The CFO very well may be wrong, however those flaws are tools which can be used as the perfect learning vehicle for your future success. Make detailed notes on all mistakes made, and if they are issues that shine unfavorably in your direction then and only then suggest proper recourse to solving those mistakes.

Best friend...Worst Nightmare

You have the perfect invention, that is sure to hit the cosmetic industry with an explosion! Ideas in how to market and package your products are all that consumes your thoughts, however there aren't enough hours in the day to start-up your business with the care and precision needed. You are approached by a good friend of yours, who doesn't necessarily have the knowledge needed to approach such an endeavor, but her help could not arrive at a better time. Is this the perfect time to enlist your "true-blue" into your business venture?

Rule#2

Never put too much Trust in friends, Learn how to use enemies

Be wary of friends, they will betray you more quickly fro they are easily aroused to envy. They also become spoiled and tyrannical. But hire a former enemy and she will be more loyal than a friend, because she has more to prove. In fact, you have more to fear from friends than from enemies. If you have no enemies, find a way to make them.

Resolution: The Realm of business does not make a friend. It can actually add unneeded hostilities, that derive from the inability to separate work from emotion. Unless you seek a "marriage of convenience", with your BFF, keep business interest asunder!

And The Academy Goes To….

Life is a movie, and you Mademoiselle are the star, but it’s up to you to truly stick to the script. So unless you are up for an Oscar for Best Lead, leave the drama to a minimum. There is nothing more unattractive, than a beautiful woman with a “Glen Close” alter ego. We’ve all met her, Hell some of us may still be nursing bruises from a renegade blackberry! But if there is one thing that can drive away a man faster than an E.P.T test on your night- stand, it’s a woman whose temper makes even the incredible Hulk feel skittish.

Lesson # 1

Just say NO to P.D.A

Not talking the conventional acronym either ladies, I’m speaking about Public Displays of Aggression. I know, I know! He just got you so furious that it was only fitting for you to tell EVERYONE IN THE RESTAURANT THAT HIS DICK GAME IS LAME. You’ve not only made a host of dinners uncomfortable, you’ve just solidified the misconception that a woman scorn is a woman Psycho. It is of extreme important and urgency that a LADY exercise tact in all circumstances. You’re probably thinking that this may be an impossible feat, certain instances cause for extreme measure. And with that being said, I ask you to think back on an instance where the man capable of exposing MRS. HYDE actually stopped being “stupid”, because of your Banshee shriek. Did the situation end favorably? My point exactly! Like testicles descending, a man’s pride only grows larger with age, and is even more sensitive when kicked, especially by You Mia Hamm! The key to really getting into his psyche is by utilizing nonce lance. A fire will cease to burn if the oxygen is cut off. This in no way suggests that you are to become his doormat, lying still as he drags in dirt. I only ask that you remove the emotion behind the reaction and replace the rage with rationality.

Scenario: You’ve recently discovered that your man has a wandering eye, and although you are right beside him he still feels the need to indulge his sweet tooth with some eye candy. How Rude! Most woman would take this as the perfect opportunity to see just how much poop he could excrete with the right amount of force applied from the back of your hand. Although this is quite disrespectful, especially if the oaf begins to drool, don’t fret. Just remember that the world of Romance is an equal playing field, and what’s good for the goose is splendid for the gander. Complements are key to showing that not only are you “in the Know”, in where your man’s attentions are, you are woman enough to let insecurities take a back seat to the lady in charge. Say: "Those pants do look incredible on her", or "she's really got a beautiful shape", allowing him to know that you've fully acknowledged what he has, and you are not beat! Refrain from a response and enjoy dinner, but take a mental check for future private discussion on this topic. Chances are, he'll be a bit more mindful to watch those wandering eyes, especially in your present.
