Rocco's 22nd birthday...

Sunday March 1st was Rocco's birthday, he turned 22. There were 29 people over our house. We had lots of fun.

Daniella and her cousin Julianna singing karaoke.

Rocco blowing out his candles.

Rocco and our Grandmother.

Rocco and his girlfriend sharon.

This is Julianna (think of the smallest, squeekiest, little mouse voice and thats what she sounds like)

I guess Butchy Boy partied too hard.

What is it??

What is that? Thats probably what your saying right now. Well what does it look like? A toe, a deformed finger... Those are good guesses but there wrong. It's actually a....

SWEET POTATO!!

It looks nasty, well, because it is. So we were having dinner (either Christmas or New Years) and we found this among the plate of baked sweet potatos. I took these pictures and I thought I should share them with all of you. A little late but I forgot all about it, sorry. Enjoy :)

Why people are overweight...

Dominic told me of this website that is full of just pictures of food that people have made or are sold in resturants. It's pretty scary because people eat it too! There's nothing gross execpt for the different combonations of ingredients (mostly bacon). Some, I guess could taste alright but I wouldn't try it (too unhealthy). The website is www.thisiswhyyourefat.com Just look at it, it might make some of you hungry.

Poetry...

For my english class I had to write a poem. So last minute I wrote this:

"A Sad Day"

When I woke up in the morning,

I noticed that my brother was sad,

I asked him and he said "I am in mourning,

Something happened that is very bad."

He wanted to be left alone,

I told him "I'm here for you bro.",

He said in a low tone,

"She was so young, you know."

I asked him, "Who are you talking about"?

He just replied, "It was so untimely",

"Who died!" I said with a shout,

He said, "I'll tell you", I said, "Finally!"

"It was Trish,

My Goldfish."

It's supposed to be a sonnet (whatever that means) so I just did my best. I don't know I just hope I get a good grade.

Just to catch up...

Butchy Boy in a deep stare.

My mother put some old food outside for the birds. I then looked out there when I heard some commotion. I saw these seagulls enjoying themselves on some leftovers, but that was short lived...

...When butchy went out there to scare them. He then decided to help himself to the rest of the food. He's like a bully on the school play ground, he always does the same thing, scares the animals then eats the food.

Franky and I decided to bury Angelo under the snow. It was funny!!

Don't Fuss with Russ...

On New Year's Day we had a bunch of people over our house for dinner. After dinner there were arm wrestling matches. I made this video of Russell totally destroying everyone in arm wrestling. In the second video the man is a Orazio, my cousin Daniella's cousin, he was cheating by using his weight and pulling down on the counter, but he still could not beat Russell. Enjoy!! (You might want to turn the volume up a bit)

Insignificant yet Beautiful...

This evening I was outside by the lights in front of our house. I was going to make a snowball. So as I put my hands down on the snow something caught my eye. Something glistening in the light. I knelt down to take a closer look and to my amazement I saw this:

So I ran into the house, grabbed my camera, and took this picture. I never saw a snowflake close up like this. My mother pointed out that it looks almost like the Star of David, and it does.
