a fruitless trip to sundance , the super bowl , the oscars , presidents day weekend , st. patrick 's day , easter , opening day , my first swim at the local pool , my annual earth day whitewater rafting and cookout trip , an ugly , forgettable cinco de mayo , the weekend i dragged tables and chairs up to the roof for summer-nighttime lounging and the spontaneous party that ensued , our local cherry blossom and taiko drumming festival , a friends wedding in cabo san lucas , the breakup with my girlfriend immediately afterwards , mothers day , a memorial day pigfest with fireworks , fathers day , a juneteenth street party in my neighborhood they all passed by before i watched his movie .
