Aries

The Ram.
20 March – 20 April.
The very first of the Zodiac signs. Arians like to be first.

A few famous Arians (as in born in the sign of Aries, not Nazis) born on this day are:

Abigail Breslin (14) – that one girl that is in EVERYthing now-a-days


The very beautiful very lovely Sarah Michelle Gellar (33)


…and “Raymond’s older brother” is 50




But really, I don’t care about famous actors/singers and all that jazz to much... unless we are talking about Shakira of course!


(do you blame me?)


No, who I do care about are the actors in the Epic series that is… my life.

One cast member who has had FAR too few appearances and is MUCH too much a side character at this time, and someone who I would love to spend some more time with in the future is Elyse AKA “Creeper” to her fellow rugby girls. Since I cannot be in California for your party this weekend though, have a shot (or 2 or 3) for me.

Another Arian whose entrance into the world I also celebrate today is one of my favorite girls who went to VCA. She is on the short list of women who could distract me from my primary target (only other women on that list are Shakira, Giada di Laurentis, my High School Geometry Teacher, and a friend’s cousin in LA). Ashley May :) I don’t even know where to begin with trying to describe her, so I won’t even try. She is just amazing and I miss her terribly.

Someone else that I miss is my Step-Grandpa Gerry. He was one of my heroes’ hero. He was a wise man with little to say, which, actually said a lot about his wisdom. As Mark Twain once said, “better to keep quiet and have people think you a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.”


By far though… the birthday that holds the most weight in my life on April 14th is, my Father. What would I be without my Father? Obviously I wouldn’t actually exist. Beyond that though, many psychologist believe a person’s personality to be formed by the age of 5. My Father died when I was almost 6. That means, if he had to go while I was young… at least it was after that 5 year mark.

I love Dave my stepdad, do not get me wrong, but I must admit… I do sometimes wonder how different my life might be had my Father not died when he did…

What if he was still alive now, what kind of relationship would we have?




Hmmm… perhaps…


Whatever it might have been, I know what it is now. A lot of my personality traits are derived from him. After 18 years and an indepth series of conversations with my sister… I have finally moved past mourning his death day, and really celebrating his Birthday.

Life is beautiful, and I am thankful for all the people that God has put in mine, today especially, I’m happy for the above mentioned four.

Happy Birthday.









Amendment 17 Apr 10:

I forgot that the 14th is also Dave's sister's birthday, so, throw my Step-Aunt Carol on the list also
