Looking forward to the New Year's weekend




Hello my fellow inhabitants of bloggsville.

Big up my Jamaican crew on their link up in Kingston town.

Just relaxing at home tonight, watching the 36 hour 007 marathon on Spike Tv.

Just had a Glenlivet 18 y.o. scotch and a Partagas cigar. This is the particular puro that I had tonight. It is a 30 minute smoke which leaves you feeling irier than any spliff, I can guarantee you.

Looking forward to New Years eve, going to light some fireworks for the boys, have another puro, and have some bubbly. I got a bottle of Don Perignon from one of my clients. Then, one of the ladies at work is having a party at her house, so I will pass thru in the wee hours of New Years day. At least that's the plan. Hopefully it actually materialises.

I will link up all of your sites now.

After Christmas peace


Folks, I hope all of you had a joyous Christmas. I did. I've been to a few parties here and there, and last night I visited some friends only to find that they were downing lots of bubbly. A cooler in the kitchen contained about 9 bottles of Veuve Cliquot, and I stayed for a few hours.

This morning, needless to say, there are a few bubbles in my system, however bubbles have limited lifespan, and will get expelled one way or the other.

On a somber note, I thought I should take a moment to pay tribute to the life of Oksana Douglas. Her photo from the Jamaica Observer is shown here. Read the article here.

The shooters apparently were shooting at a group of adults in the same location where she was, by a shop. It did not matter to them about the presence of this beautiful 7 year old child. Or, to pop some legalese, they must have been reckless as to the possibility that innocent bystanders might have been there. She must have been "collateral damage". Rest in Peace Oksana.

I've been downloading some music from Limewire, its pretty good, and downloaded a lot of music in the last couple of days. I will see how my hard drive holds up. Mad Bull may have to rescue me from whatever havoc I have done with the notebook.

On an event which is significant for me, I resigned from employment. My last day will be Friday 13th (Rass) January, 2006. I will let you know what I am doing in the middle of January. I am looking forward to an exciting 2006.

Happy 2006, my bloggionistas.

Christmas time again


I am spending 3 days at home with my boys. My father did me a great service today by taking the older of the 2 with him.

I was out last night to a few of the shops that opened late - Caymania was open until 9pm, and I was able to get something for a nephew -

I got a couple of gifts last night for my parents at Hobbies and books as well. By the time I got to Book Nook, it was 8:53pm and the security guard said that the would close at 9, so I did not bother to rush in on that one.

I found a new audio store last night though, so I will swing in there sometime today.

Invigorate your senses and fantasize upon the contents of the nectie of this here bomba who grew up just down the road from where my house is right now. Sabor! Mucho Gusto!

What is the true position, blogaroos?



Well doc, you are truly a lover of life. That is the impression given by your blog anyway. I shall ask the Bull to confirm that that is really what you are like.

This article from the Jamaica Observer is excellent. It relates to the Ringling Brothers circus, more particularly known as the four way race to the leadership of the ruling party in Jamaica. Yes doc - I know some folks are tyad of talkin, but this one is just some satire, something we can all do with at all times.

Boy, these last two weeks I returned to squash, not having played since 10th September 2004, the night before Ivan obliterated all 9 of the squash courts in Cayman. I feel some muscles that have been sleeping for years. Why people play sports voluntarily when it amounts to self-inflicted injury, is beyond rationalisation. I will try again on Saturday morning, since I have been invited by a good looking bomba so to do.

Oh for the weekend to hurry and come

Bloggionistas

How do you guys find so much time for this thing? It is amazing. In between all the work, play, kids, sleep, Christmas, it is increasingly difficult to pass thru and look at your blogs. It is even more difficult to make a post.

I see where Stanley "Tookie" Williams was executed, so all the old death penalty arguments are ablaze on CNN any any where else called the media.

I did not expect the Governator to give clemency - why do that, and screw up his re-election chances.

Sorry folks, I have no jokes, pics or anything, just a quick hello - I just had a couple of games of squash and I am mashed up.

Blog ya later.

A Li'l bidda dis, a L'il bidda dat


Bloggionistas

Contemplate the capabilities of this here creature wise and wonderful (the lord God made them all), Cayman Islands (and New York) Victoria's Secret Supermodel, Selita Ebanks. Other pics are available on Victoria's Secret's websites, among others.

This is a quickie postie between last nite's work Christmas party, and the one tonight for my wife's work. One of my bloggionistas was there, with his lovely wife at his side - Some will know who that is.

Today I visited the book ship Logos II.

This ship is a huge floating book fair, with countless books for sale, really cheap. Her picture is above. I will try to go again before she leaves, without the children driving us beserk. The books are mainly spiritual and educational, but there is certainly no bookstore in Cayman with an amount of books on display which is any where near the vast amount on this ship. Its going to Bermuda from here.

See you folks soon, and I trust you are enjoying the Christmas season. Party time now.

Cold front - not good, to rass. Hot front, well, now you talkin.


Well, I do now know why, but most Jamaicans are happy with the fact that they become the subject of a lot of twisted humour. Once, I sent one joke to my aunt, and it did not sit well with her at all. (She is actually visiting in Cayman at the moment) She gave me what some of my limie colleagues would refer to as a "bollocking" and said "you are a Jamaican who has forgotten where he came from, and now is making fun of Jamaicans", or something like that - so - here goes - I start with the disclaimer that this is all in good fun, and feel no way.

Three prisoners are waiting to be executed and
they are asked they wish to have for their last
meal. The Italian responds, "PEPPERONI PIZZA."
The warden serves him his Pepperoni Pizza,
and then escorts him to his execution.
The Frenchman requests Filet Mignon. The warden
serves him his Filet Mignon, and then escorts
him to his execution. The Jamaican requests two
mangoes.
"MANGOES????"
"Yes, MANGOES."
The warden replies, "but they're out of season!"
"So?" replies the Jamaican. "I MAN WILL WAIT,
STAR!"


Kinda cool here in the CI this weekend. Cold front passing through. My foreign colleagues would laugh at me, since by cold front, we mean 75 F. My a/c had been off for weeks, so my utility company, CUC, will have to wait a while before it sucks all of my living out of my blood claat.

Well, we have our 2nd Jazz Festival on this weekend, I will try and catch up with that this weekend. Last night my son did a great job narrating at his Christmas concert at his school.


Hey did you notice how some folks like to "lick shot"? I don't mean firearms, I mean like my friend Dr. D Hear im nuh,"let off another one, nuh"

I have a cousin, when he is on my boat, and he wants some speed, he says, "Buss it, nuh?"

If you have not read the above, at least contemplate the capabilities of the Star Girl above. Ain't nuthin but a G-Thang, baby.
