Gold Finch

 

I saw the yellow birds again today. I think they look like gold finches, but I did not get so close to them as I could be sure. However they were smaller than the internet say that gold finches usually are. Pretty. Now that I have seen them three times on our block, I think they live here and are not just travelling.

Yellow Birds

 A few days ago I saw a pair of pretty yellow birds of which type I did not know. Then today I saw three of them. They chirped the same three notes over and over again. They were so pretty. Now that I saw them twice I think they might live here and are not just travelling through. I looked for them on the internet by searching for yellow birds who live in New York, but I could not find the type of bird they were. I hope I continue to see them as they were beautiful and nice to look at and listen to.

My Birthday

 

Today is my birthday. Every year I get a birthday cake. Fudgie the Whale. From Carvel. We just picked it up. I also always get sushi for dinner. And today I am getting a 16 dollar bottle of good beer from a monastery. My brother is here. I don't know if I am getting any presents. The girl bought me a set of knives for my birthday. It came from Amazon a couple of days ago. I was surprised. I didn't think she thought of me. It was nice. Say a prayer for me on my birthday.

I do not want anything, except for things to not become very bad. Currently I am happy. We will see what the future brings. Happy birthday to me. I am looking forward to eating Fudgie the Whale tonight with my family.

A Bad Omen

 

On my first walk I found a lot of coins scattered around on the street. A dollar and fifty-two cents.

Then I went to Dunkin Donuts to get food for mom and dad. It is across the street from the library. Walking past the library I saw three of the drunkards who sit on the benches by the library. One ugly old woman looked at me like I offended her but said nothing. Then I went to the store.

The woman at the store had a grey left eye. It looked like it was blind and cloudy and permanently facing down. I got a croissant and a boston kreme donut for mom and dad.

Walking back I passed the drunkards and looked in the garden of the library. There is a tree with white blossoms and in and around the tree were dozens of starlings. When I looked at them, the ones on the ground flew away but not the ones in the tree.

Then I walked home. And on the way, I crossed the path of a dead praying mantis. She looked like she was stepped on. A bad omen. Then I walked home.

Stolen Car And Cancer.

 My father had surgery for cancer in his kidney. They removed a third of one of his kidneys.

My brother drove here from Philly to be with us. Someone stole his car. My brother has bad luck. Bad things always happen to him.

Went to Church today. Ed told me Tom is in the hospital.

Just to remember. My own life is grand.
