Work, Play and Home

Can hardly get a chance to post these days. Its from one thing to the other. I have an aunt visiting from Jam, and I only saw her briefly, once.

She's around 72, but very adventurous - so I think I'll try to get her to Senor Frog's before she leaves.

Work was quite stressful today, our regulator came to do a 3 day inspection. My bosses, in their infinite wisdom, promised them a spreadsheet which did not exist, so I had to prepare it. At 430 p.m., after stressing about it all day, I finished it. Then I was burnt out.

A bit of stress at home as well, my father in law, at the ripe young age of 95, suffered a stroke last night. Today he is more alert, but he cant talk, and his entire right side seems to be paralysed. His picture is attached. He traveled the world as a mariner in his day and I have heard many of his seagoing stories. My mother in law, pictured to his left, passed away this past September. He had a CT scan today, but we have not heard from the Dr about what that shows.

Well, I don't know why Mad Bull thinks he needs to stop the beauty parade. If he needs to change anything, he can simply continue the parade, with the ladies not having gone to the trouble of wearing anything.

I will certainly not incite any further heated comments by going on about my truck any more, I will come up with something else, to blood cleat. I am just happy I was able to post a little suppn before someone, lets say, invites me to. I will delay the car talk a little more.

Puuuulll Uuuuuuup!

Da wah yuh get.

Hey folks -

I hung out at Singh's roti shop on Friday evening, downed a few Buds with a work colleague of mine, and then later, with a martial arts sensei. It's supposedly a Trini hangout, but mainly J'acans were hanging out and watching cricket, playing dominoes, and just limin, generally. As per the usual requirement, the staff was made up mainly of Bombas Centroamericanos.

During happy hour there is really no roti, just beer and finger food, but it was nice, still. I witnessed Brian Charles Lara break the test run total world record as he hit an impressive double ton down under.

Well they are now in the 2nd innings, so the best of luck to Brian, Chandie, and the rest of the Windies!

Just a short post today I think because the kids are acting up to bumbo!

I have to help calm them, and keep calm myself, as if that is possible! Blog ya later.

By the way, the cyber pageant being staged by the Mad Bull is replete with the handiwork of the Lord himself, nice Caribbean beaties to behold.

What to do, what to say, you wait, big tings a gwaan!

Well, I have been prompted by Dr. D to post something. Hopefully something will tickle your fancy here.

Well, the sporting world is scandalous as usual, one of the Portland Trailblazers just cussed his coach and they have suspended him for a while. But what is hidden in the small print at the bottom of the article is that this dude, Patterson, is a registered sex offender in Oregon, and gets millions as a professional athlete to rass! Read it here.

Here is another one, this time from the NFL, with the Philadelphia Eagles. I spoke about T.O. a few days ago, when he cussed his way to a season long suspension (though with full pay). Well his QB teammate, Donavan McNab, is now injured for the rest of the season. Now, you can eliminate one team from the playoffs for sure. Peyton Manning and the Colts are looking like Super Bowl to rass!

I would like to visit the Corner Pocket, and I probably will, but i read where some thug fired a shot into the sky in the parking lot of the same shopping centre where it is. Boy these young wimps with guns need a wake up call. So hopefully, I will catch up with my compadres Mad Bull and the Troubled one later on this week. I see where Trouble has mentioned it on his site.

Boy Trouble has been making some wicked posts recently. I can't possibly fit into his troubled shoes to rass. Also, the Bull has been solo recently. What does a Bull do without his wife, one wonders?

Now the maxim girl above lost her job on Al Gore's (remember him - he actually should be US president now, you know, because the stole the 1st term from him and then he would have won a 2nd term, they say) TV network, because of this photo shoot. Now if it was Bill's network, he would be been like, Yeaaah Naaaiccce. "Turn it owwver baybe let me slayam it one more tayime. Big up Bad boy Bill Clinton." "Thayat woman, Miss Lewinsky, her poontang was so Naaicce. You know ah never had sex with her. She did with me, that naaice beotch, with a naice poontang. " "She sat on me and ah got mah cream all over her blue frock. Naaaice. "

Well, blog ya later...hopefully again before Xmas..

Blogger's Bloc?

It is amazing how serious bloggionistas can come up with nuff bloggin material. I mean some of you are for blogs what some people are for cellphones.

I always stare in wonderment at people who's ears always have a cellphone glued to them and think "ok, what else can be happening that I am just ignorant of?" Even the person who just drove 1 inch from your car so that he could leave the traffic lane, go into the oncoming traffic lane, then turn in front of you so that he could enter the road you are leaving has a telephone glued to his ear.

And to think most of those phones are pre-paid phones, so people have to be topping them up with minutes. Now I know the way of doing that has advanced, you can do it online, at the bank, at the gas station, even at the atm, but the rate at which some people are yabbering away on cellphones should leave them little time to top up, I think, but hey, I guess they just do it while they are still talking on the phone.

My doctor's office has several signs saying "no cell phones" which I guess means please switch them off. If I forget to turn mine off and it rings I usually run outside, and talk, switch off, and the run back inside. Most folks just sit there in the waiting room, oblivious, phone ringing, and then bellowing into the phone "Hello?" when it rings.

I remember being in court once and one of our magistrates, lets call her judge dread, locked up a woman for her cell phone once, because the stupid idiot not only had her phone ring, but answered it and struck up a loud discussion on her phone in the gallery of the court. Judge dredd let her out at the end of the day.

Now here in Cayman Digicel has acquired Cingular. Digicel has gotten quite big here in Cayman, usually all Jamaican's have a digi phone, or both a digi and a C & W. It gets ridiculous sometimes. Once I saw a contractor with 3. He said he had to call his staff (all J'can) on the digi, his wife on the C & W, and certain other folks on the post-paid C & W. Amazing. I am still with C&W but over the years lots of folks got tired of them and when the market was liberalised lots of folks did the switch. There is no number portability yet, so I can't switch without changing over.

In October I went to the local business expo, and all of the phone companies were selling phones really cheaply (even giving some away) - C&W were selling one for $19, and I think Digi was selling one for even less. These were prepaid phones though, and I have never gotten into this buying credit thing.


Lots of European folks were getting Digicel recently too apparently because of favourable long distance rates.

I can barely keep up with my one.

Now you may wonder what how these pics relate to the above tirade, well, nothing actually. Just look if you like and don't if you don't. What else can be said? The one on the right is a top5Jamaica girl.

Back to work tomorrow @##!*%&$

Well, I had an extra long weekend, having added 2 days after our long weekend here in Cayman. One of the great things about that is that my week at work will be all of 2 days, before the weekend again. (Can you tell I like weekends? I am sure I'm not along on that one).

Hey check out this pic of a Miami Dolphins cheerleader - OMG, I have to big up a girl like this every time.

Lets go now to real football, where T & T has made the entire sporting Caribbean smile with pride as they have qualified for the World Cup by beating Bahrain 1-0. Big up Soca Warriors.

Until we blog again.

Long weekend, last for the year before the Holidays, yeah baby!

Hello blogaroos.

Nice to blog you again, having delinquently omitted to blog for about 6 days, to wit tuesday to Friday to rass. This ought to constitute some sort of criminal offence, prosecutable by an involuntary appearance on some kind of wall of shame website. Some has one already, I am sure. For example, Trouble has one linked to his website dedicated to poorly misrepresented chinese characters on tattoos. Now obviously the author has time.

Lot's of interesting folks out there blogging, including some a lady residing in the heart of Latinaville, Campfyah, who often has some interesting stories about the way of life in Venezuela. I await with baited breath her views on Mr. Chavez, one of Mr. Bush's favourite beating sticks.

I have been rather lazy this weekend, and I plan to pile on lots more donothingatalltorass. To sharpen things up a bit, I must run out to pick up some puros y unas cervezas. You know Campfyah, there's no Venezuelan beer here.

My friend at the national archive sent me this song for the Thanksgiving folks, I am not really into the thanksgiving itself, but I am into the food, therefore I will be nyamming (tr. eating) some turkey, should any traverse my immediate vicinity, and make entry to my digestive system, hopefully all of it proceeding thereafter to the exit, rather than to my mid section to rass. Any way here's the song enjoy it and shake your booties!

Any way, in between the wutlissniss, my boys had their respective swimming lessons, in 2 different places, and its off to softball for my 6 y.o. at 330. At the end of it all some rum haffe flow and some cigar ago bun. It a go bun!

Have a good weekend folks, and remember to comment (if you are not speechless) on Trouble's latest labour of love, about blood every where after a wild ride with one of his pre-Ivan lasses. As I was reading on, I thought it was going to be grosser than just rough riding causing bleeding, but its worth a read folks, so that you can delve into the unpredictable world of the one Trouble.

Blog ya lata..

NFL, exciting on and off the field

Tonight, I would like to see the Monday nite game, and my satellite is down, to rahted. Yesterday was full of excitefullness and wonderfullment.

T.O... suspended due to his comments... amazing .. read it here. Boy, a man making millions expects to go into a broadcast interview and trash talk his team mate Donavan McNab (who, incidentally is a rare breed, i.e. a black quarterback) . Terrell himself is a great player, so it is sad that the league will be without him for the rest of the season..

Elsewhere, the man who has been accused by his former girlfriend of giving him herpes led the Atlanta to a 17-10 win over Miami. And, here in Cayman, we have so many broken hearted Dolfans.

Off the field, 2 of the Carolina Panthers have been caught having sex with each other in a bathroom in a bar. The atrocity is that they were arrested! The cops must have missed the real dyke action, to rass, and were angry, and arrested them for stopping!

Yo - no TV tonight, I will have to twiddle with the rabbit ears. Hopefully not too much snow, speaking of which, whats this controversy about the snowman t shirt? Amazing amount of press coverage still.

Lastly, lets keep Spanish Town in our thoughts as we hope and pray for peace in Jamrock.

Blogpeeps, Blog ya later!

November, eh? Another year gone

Yo bloggists, what's on your various minds, brothers and sisters? My mind is kind of scattered at the moment, nothing in particular to blog about. Work pressures are mounting (that is a majer rass understatement, to bumbo), as usual, and I can feel a big transition coming soon. I will tell you more about that when certain things happen, though.

The pirates landing was pretty good, although my wife did not speak to me there because yesterday I was a bit of a misery, having gone through a bit of a horrible Friday afternoon at work.

I am actually tired of alcohol. These days I will have a drink or 2, but I do not seem to have the urge for it at all. Could this be a sign of a life change, or is it just age catching up on me? Rass, I don't know, however whatever the benefits of non-drinking are, hopefully I can derive some of those (are there any?).

Long weekend coming up at the end of his week folks, and I plan to have whale of atime, including hopefully a domino session in the back of my place.

Today we began to put furniture into our old apartment, where my late mother in law lived until Hurricane Ivan devastated it last September. 14 months after Ivan, it is just now complete, and we are getting it ready for rental. We expected it to be ready from July, and I had the furniture for it from March this year, clogging up my garage and attic. Have to apply for electricity for it tomorrow. Hot today, rasta. It is now 917 pm and it is 82 degs!

There is indeed a funny story behind it, because someone washed my truck yesterday, and at Sunrise where the apartment is there is a huge puddle in the parking lot, so I refused to use my truck, as that beast would have taken all of the furniture in 1 or 2 trips. But I figure in the next few days when it looks like "normal" again, I will give in.

Here is a pic from Nissanusa.com with a red version of my truck. Mine does not have those "big tow" mirrors, which are a bit "in your face" when they are extended, like they are in this pic. But the Titan is one beast of an animal, and a pleasure to drive. It is a pickup and an SUV in one, as the four door layout affords a huge back seat area (for passengers, get your mind out of the niceness). The gas bill is atrocious, though, it is a v8, 5.6L guzzler! Mine is actually dark green, but the factory calls that deep water blue. Talk about toys (come one keep your mind straight) - adjustable pedals, rear a/v control, rear electric window, anti- glare mirror, front loading 6 cd changer, 10 speakers including sub-woofer, heated seats, leather, audio controls in the steering wheel, power seats, four 12v sockets, 3 inside and one in the truck's bed!, and a whole load of other wicked features I cannot even remember.

Peeps, let me know whats going on. I will surf your way and check out your musings and maybe some depraved rantings.

Not a lot to blog about, I don't think, but let's see where this leads

Hey folks

Happy All Saints Day (yesterday), or Day of the Dead if you are in Mexico.

Boy "rain" is not our buzzword, but our only word, although the sun has been peeping intermittently from yesterday.

Well we have seen where good old George has been converting the US Supreme Court into a Republican machine - this is very serious, as these appointments have no set expiry date. Well, let see where that goes - hopefully Uncle Sam knows what he is doing - let me know what you think my US bloggionistas! My USA legal heavyweights, please comment!

God bless the soul of Rosa Parks, who was laid to this week having been eulogised by such orators as Clinton, and receiving vocal tributes by such artistes as Aretha.

I think the Cayman Islands legal profession needs a Rosa Parks, who refuses to yield her seat to oppressors, of whatever shade.

All of the fallout from doping in sports (yes I do not care who wants to call it sport) continues. The Man who claims to have sold it to Marion Jones has been indicted.

Well, it looks like the weekend is upon us, and maybe some of my new found crew may check out Senor Frogs - nice place, I like it - I certainly recommend it to those who have not tried.
