An Introduction of Sorts

Well, I guess this is my first official "Blogspot" blog. I am going to use this opportunity to properly introduce myself. My name is Mikey. Well, originally Michael, but only my Mom calls me that. I will not answer to it , mind you. I just tuned 30 and I am not sure exactly how to deal with that yet. Apparently I do not look a day over 21 and I guess that has its advantages and disadvantages. And admitedly, most of the time, I do not act my age either.



I grew up in Queens New York. For the first part, in the rough tough Jamaica. Then my teen years were spent in the sunny suburbs of Bayside. My parents got a divorce when I was about 7 or 8. And my "birth" mom has been out of the picture ever since. My Dad re-married when I was 9, and the woman he married, Susan, I consider to be my "real" Mom, has raised me as her own.



I've attended 4 different colleges since I graduated from High School in 1996. All art related programs, and some schools I did not leave by choice. Let's just say, all of my "deviant" scholastic escapades would take hours of typing, and I will save such stories for future blogs.



Walt Disney World has been very much a constant through out my entire life, and will probably be the primary focus of this blog. I have been going on a very regular basis since 1985. And now I have the significant advantage of living minutes from the magic and I have a annual pass! I run a YouTube channel featuring all things theme parks in Central Fl, with the heaviest attention being paid to the Mouse. I am going to take advantage of this forum, to not only let my readers in on who I am. But to let them in on things going on here in Central Fl, home of everyones' favorite vacation destination.



So come back often and Ill share stories of how I would drive my parents and teachers crazy. And also plenty of Disney related stories! Below is a video of the original introduction to my YouTube show, "OnLocation". Which can be viewed by subscribing at http://www.youtube.com/magiccitymayhem . Hope all is well in your world, and if not, come escape in to mine! See you real soon!
