As many of you might know, my REAL or LEGAL name is John-Paul Sansone. I was named after Pope John Paul II in 1985, when I was born. My mother saw him in 1979, just a year after he had become the pope. She made a promise to herself that her first son, should she ever have one, be named after him.

So I was named John-Paul, hyphenated and all. But perhaps she thought this was too weird growing up, and gave me a nick name of Jake, after eating at a restaurant called "Flakey Jakes" in Long Beach, California, where my Dad used to live before I was born.

Well for those that dont know, tomorrow is my birthday, 4-8-05.
I am turning 20 years old.

THE ODD THING IS THIS
The Pope is being buried tomorrow at 3 am.
MEANING
As I came into the world 20 years ago, or out of the ground, the Pope is leaving the world, or going into the ground, EXACTLY 20 years later.

My mom heard this and started to cry, and left me a long message on my phone about this. Of all the days to choose for him to be buried, kind of weird no....?

Just thought Id share.

    Pope's funeral was pretty intense as well. Dont know if you all caught a peek at it.
