Tonight's Steak Festivities are much anticipated on my part. To eat Steak to celebrate the birthday of a friend named Fish, is kinda weird. Hey at least he isn't taking everyone to City Island.
Happy Birthday to The Fish, have many more. I know many people born on or around this date. It brings a bit of Irony to me because of what I associate with this day. But it is weird to realize that nineteen years ago tragedy took my family unto a road that we never thought we would travel, forever changing the course of our lives as individuals.
My best friend from High School's wife Julissa was born on this day. She wont read this but happy birthday to you Julissa Jerez. When my Brother died, my aunt went into labor. It is very weird and strange that my Cousin Kenny, who was the only family I had at my UpperCASE, was born the exact day after my brother died. Jan 7th 1986. His soul wasn't meant to replace my brother and there was no cosmic balance when he was born. It is not what I think or believe so please don't go there.

Anyway this is the day that I have dealt with every year. Not really meaning that it is a bad day, just a heavy day.
My little brother was born on Jan 9th 1991. Five years later around the same date.
I am forgeting some people.

The day isn't half as bad as people thought it would be, I expected some kind of blizzard, some terrible snow fall which was the topic of at least 15 to 20 minutes of the ten o'clock news. And after all that fuss, I go outside ready for "the day after tomorrow" and I walk into today.

What a wonderful day in the neighborhood. Would you be my? Would you be my?

That's it for now.
