May he Rest in Peace.

Nov-30th-2008

As of 4:30 this morning, my father, Ramon S. Velez Sr, has officially passed away. My father whom had been suffering from alzheimers from as far back as 1998, left behind 6 children, and 1 widow.

The glue that ties me together to my brothers and sisters is gone, oddly
enough I feel relief, and not sad. A huge burden I have been carrying for a few years now is off my shoulders. The family has not been the same ever since his official diagnosing. Considering we were not a close family to begin with, now is the time that will decide who wishes to really remain around in contact and who wishes to fade away into their own lives.  And I hope with this event all matters that managed to clunk up during my father ill times, be it due to greed or honor, dissipate with his passing away.

To my family, I love you all regardless of any situation. Today a chapter of my life has reached its climax and will be closed forever.

Happy Turkey Day

Nov-27th-2008

On this day in the beginning of american history, the European settlers and the native indians managed to find kind ground with an enemy. A big fat turkey. And with the slaughter of this common enemy, a short time of peace arrived, as they ceremoniously ate its hot roasted body with sweet potatoes and canned cranberry sauce.

In these rough time’s we are more civil and pardon one of these turkeys on a yearly, just a tab bit before we commit the equivalent to an act of genocide to these ecil yet delicious creatures.

Have a happy Thanksgiving.
