I Am F*ucking Angry I Can't Sleep

Can you believe I took this shot of myself.? Man I love photoshop.

I am member of my neighborhood block association and submitted a letter of opposition to the Community Board because a new restaurateur is demanding a full bar with a 4 am closing.  Here is what I wrote.

It's amazing how fast kids learn.  My son just turned 2 on Aug 28 and he's already talking.  Can you believe it?  Just the other night he said something other kids won't say for years to come.  More on that in just a moment.  

Hi my name is Jai Catalano and I am a member of my neighborhood block association and I have lived on ******************* for 39 years.  My Facebook friends will wish me a happy 22nd birthday in December but between you and me, in 2 months, I will celebrate 40 years in the same neighborhood.  

I am a father of 2, a husband of 1, and a sleeper of 0.  Why don't I sleep you ask?  I used to think it was because my kids woke me up.  Then I realized it wasn't that my kids woke me up it was that my kids were woken up.  Why do they keep waking up you ask?  I truly believe it's because of 3 things mixed together.  

1) Alcohol
2) 4 am closings
3) No police

Huh?  

Let me explain because there is something to be said about the way people, who drink alcohol, act when leaving an establishment with a 4 am closing, and no police in site.

Question?

Why would a young, thin, short Indian American girl provoke a fight with a group of Jersey Shore (looking) guys then injure herself by falling from a missed punch she threw at them?  Please refer to numbers 1, 2 and 3.       

Question?

Why would an African American woman take off her wig and throw it in the garbage so that she could fist fight her boyfriend and his 20 friends in the middle of the road because he was talking to another woman at a club? Please refer to numbers 1, 2 and 3.

Question? 

Why would a group of college guys roll down their car window and blast a 7 minute song so that they could dance a well executed stomp routine in the middle of the street?  Please refer to numbers 1, 2 and 3.

In no way am I trying to mock this situation but if I don't use the little sense of humor I have left to express my growing concern of my neighborhood as well as the *********** and their lack of respect for the standard our association is trying to continue to uphold, I might be forced to cut down the 30 year old tree that is in front of my window so I could have a better view of the 4:15 am reality show with my wife and kids.

Speaking of my kids... Do you want to know what my son said to me the other night?  Dada another fight?

For more information feel free to call me at the number below.

Respectfully


Jai
