That is a lot of Birthdays!

Annabella and I get into some interesting conversations about life, superhero trivia (like why did Hawkgirl quit wearing her helmet for the new season of Justice League on TV?) and other important stuff. Anyhow, she heard the dj on the radio mentioning those who were celebrating a birthday that day. He probably mentioned 12-15 people. She then asked me "Why are so many people celebrating birthdays today, daddy?" I said many people tend to have birthdays every day. The truth is that I had never pondered this before so I started doing the math with her about how many people in the city of Orlando alone (figure greater Orlando and vicinity to have about 2 million people) celebrated a birthday each day. We will hypothetically assume that each person is allocated one day out of the year so that would be 365 people in a year. So we divided the 2 million by 365 and figured that roughly 5480 could celebrate their birthday every day in this city area. That is a lot of birthdays. I guess we forget cause we think it is our own special day. By the way this reminds me; when Ruth and I went into the Hospital to have Nicholas the nurse said that their birthing center was the third largest in the US and that they delivered roughly about 1000 babies a month. So in this city I guess we should be tacking on another 30 birthdays to the 5000+ number every day. I'm starting to get claustrophobic...

The Republic of Miami

So I went to see my uncle Bruno (who happens to be a couple of years older so he is actually more like my brother) in Miami and I was pleasantly surprised to see his brother and sister there with him as well. It was a wonderful reunion that happens once in a millennia. So I thought I would share a couple of pics.

By the way...I knew that there was a lot of hispanics in Miami, but I did not realize that now Hispanics is ALL THERE IS around there. I had great Colombian, Peruvian, and Cuban food all weekend. It was awesome!!! Can you tell I miss Panama.

How I unwind!!!

So...for those who don't know me that well...I am an avid movie fan. Over time I have become more selective about my choices (I used to watch just about anything when I was younger) due to my time limitations. So now I have resorted to new methods to enjoy cinema...movie trailers! So now that I have much less time to enjoy a full length feature film I love watching trailers of upcoming movies. My reason...you can't go wrong with movie trailers because they always put their best foot forward. Editors will arrange footage and music in a perfect union together with that great "voiceover" guy. As I was checking new trailers out recently I remembered one of my favorite trailers which kinda poked fun at the "voiceover" guy. It happens to be for a Jerry Seinfeld post-Seinfeld movie about the life of a comedian aptly called "Comedian." So if you want to see it click here. If you feel inclined to view and enjoy trailers like me go to the trailers page in the Apple website after viewing my blog or click here if you are done visiting my corner of the online universe.
