Wow, how has that happened? To my utter disbelief to is an entire year since Bobster got assaulted. Firstly, I am pleased to report my complete recovery from the injury, both physically and mentally. I am still to have one final operation, scheduled for the summer, this is to slightly tighten my eyelid to make the eyes appear the same size again, although this is purely cosmetic.

So what's Stereo day? I suddenly remind you. Well when I returned to work I was walking down a corridor in our nice new offices, (The company relocated from the grotty industrial estate whilst I was recuperating. Can't have that happening again, next time it may be someone pretty or with a bit of sense.) And I thought I should mark this significant day in my life. After all we all celebrate our own birthdays and the birthday of some bloke called Jebus. We also celebrate the day he got whacked, although at this point I must make absolutely clear that I am not comparing myself with Christ. He clearly didn't exist and I do! What I mean is I have a genuine reason to celebrate. For the past year I have appreciated my eyes like never before. I bought them a £300 pair of sunglasses, so they could look cool. Every time I have saved a shot at football I enjoy depth perception on a level I just didn't have any understanding of before. Every time I see the skyline of Liverpool it fills me with little emotion. I love my eyes! Anyway, I was walking down the corridor and I suddenly thought I should celebrate the 26th March every year from now on. The other half of my brain agreed with this as a good idea and suggested it be called stereo day. Surprised at reaching a state of mental harmony I rarely achieve, I decided to book the day off and have stereo day, and here we are.

On birthdays, people come around and bring you cake. I like those! However, stereo day is a personal holiday and in the absence of cards and presents I had to fill the day with other (eye related preferably) amusements. First of all I watched a new DVD I bought especially for the occasion. I decided after watching that I wanted a haircut. Not particularly eye related, except for all the mirrors, but I was in charge today and spontaneity seems like a good idea. I promised Keith, my barber a shout out. Hi Keith. Then I went to an amusement arcade. I have always struggled with these. I have no idea why but all those flashing lights and noises make me genuinely giddy, like a kid on Christmas Eve. About an hour later and £27.30 less wealthy I took a trip to the top of Everton Park. There is nowhere in the city of Liverpool with a finer view. I stood for an amount of time I can't justify, just enjoying the centre of the city and Wirral beyond. On a clear day you can see the hills of Wales but alas March 26th 2004 was cloudy. I went into town from there and looked around 2 of our magnificent museums. It was an interesting distraction for an hour or 2 I thought. In the conservation museum there was an exhibit on repairing damaged sculptures. There was some modelling clay and a foot with the big toe missing, you had to try and replace it. I had a go. The day was building to a spectacular climax though. After hearing it was stereo day, Pink insisted on playing a concert at the M.E.N Arena. With the help of Ebay, I paid obscenely over the odds for tickets in the 8th row of the front block. I would of preferred to go in the central standing area and take my chances, but my lil sister, Debo G, who would never have spoken to me again if I went to see Pink without her, is a midget. Pink was amazing! I am also glad I spent all that money on the tickets. I have been truly close enough to appreciate one of the best stomachs genetics has ever managed to produce. Thank you Deoxynucleic Acid! Pink also insisted on filming the tour DVD that night so I can watch it next stereo day. What a marvellous day. On the way home we stopped at The International to procure 2 chicken kebabs. Then my Kelly phoned for a stereo day report. Finally we went to Kev's house and I saw a programme, for the first time, called 2DTV. I laughed so much that I cried. To my best recollection it involved George Bush, Arnie Schwarzenegger and stabilisers on a car. Although I cannot be sure cos I was laughing so hard.

What should I do for Stereo Day 2005?
