New Year’s was a blast! We had family over to my house and partied all night. Like always my Tio Agusto got drunk and started speaking English.
It’s so funny to watch him – He does not speak a word of English & when he tries, he has a heavy accent. But at parties when he’s drunk, he is so eloquent and the accent is gone! Talk about letting go of his inhibitions.
My other uncle, Tio Amable is the sad type of drunk. He cries and laments days gone by. Beside him, everybody seem to be having fun, and just enjoying life.
All in all we had a great time. My brother and I head up to the rooftop. We just stare out to the horizon. We are making believe that the cold breath coming out of our mouths is us smoking – we are so cool!
But deep down inside I look out to the horizon & wonder which building is my sister living in and what is she feeling this New Year’s eve.
