Two Dotish old Men a Carnival Thing.

On Sunday morning on my way back home to Cap-De-Ville from Point Fortin via the Guapo/Cap-De-Ville main road, I got a taste of what I would call Carnival dotishness.

This should have been a normal Sunday morning drive back home, this was not to be soon we realized that cars were starting to slow down and stop. The first thing that came to mind was car accident further up the road, reason being today carnival Sunday nuff drunk people on the road and not more than 4 months ago a car flipped over mashed up a wall and the driver was killed within this same area.

I got out the car and started to walk only to realize it was not an accident but two vehicles parked on the bridge whose drivers decided that they not moving a fire truck from Point Fortin fire station and a private citizen "Mr. Mitchum".


By this time people from the neighborhood were out at the roadside, passengers and drivers had exited their vehicles. People pleaded with the drivers of both vehicles to reverse but both said that they were in the right and that they were not moving.

This was the position of the vehicles on the bridge. The cab and the front tyres of the fire truck was on the bridge and the car (an old model sunny) was three quarters of the way on the bridge, a little over 10 feet before he would exit the bridge. The drivers of both vehicles were older men, the driver of the sunny was the elder of the two both stubborn old men.

The police arrived about 20 minutes after I arrived on the scene. The people voices were sometimes raised passionate that the fire truck should reverse; it had the least distance to reverse about 15 feet where as the car about 30 feet. The lawmen talked with the drivers of both vehicles, people shouted " that why it have so much crime in the country big people no common sense" "too much damn pride" said another. These two men serve as a bad example to all young people.

This is an example of how most of the people in the protective services treat the public. They thump their chest "I am the Law clear the way when I come through, I am right all the time". They show little respect to the citizenry. It would have taken less than a minute for the fire truck to reverse instead of this almost two hour showdown before high noon.

Eventually the firemen were persuaded (after the police realized that the crowd passionate people was getting bigger) by the police men to reverse which took all of ten seconds and vehicular traffic was flowing again.

A little excitement in Cap-De-Ville was nice... Carnival Nice eh!

Valentines

Happy Valentines to all. I hope that your day is filled with love.

The love of God, the love of your friends and family and even nature.

I guess without doing any poles those three words are said the most this day out of all 

the three hundred and sixty five (365) days of the year, "I Love You" is said mostly on 

the 14Th of February Valentines Day, when most of the world peoples are partially high 

in chocolate of some sort. The colour red is predominant in almost every choice of 

wear, sidewalk merchants are peddling the latest in eatable underwear, perfumed 

plastic roses, real roses, perfume sets, chocolate soft to the touch due to the heat of the 

sun and teddy bears of all sizes.

One is forced almost to find money that you don't have in these hard economic times to 

buy that traditional item be it chocolate roses, perfume, greeting cards, negligee or teddy 

bear for that loved one.  Doing this supposedly conveys some sort of representation of 

love or even intent to love more. 

How often though, do we / you neglect to verbally express that feeling and emotion of 

love  to our significant other when it is not the season to do so? I guess the answer for 

most of you / us is, not that often and there may even be a never in-between said there 

somewhere.

Tell her that you love her and mean it, not because you'll just had an exquisite rumble in 

the sack and she did that thing that you like you express those words, (there is nothing 

wrong with saying it at that time either) but those words should be spoken when there 

is seemingly no reason for such a compliment. For example; you've just reached home 

from work and the wife is in a frumpy mood, you can see it represented on her face 

say "I love you honey and appreciate all that you do for me" and mean it because she 

will surely know if you don't and that you are just mamaguying her. She may not even 

react at that point in time but I bet you a million dollars that will remember it in you'll 

quiet time together.

Say it!

What yuh waitin' on? 

Her Last Championship Bout

On Sunday 4^th of January around7am according to news (express) reports Jizelle Salandy had her last bout in the ring of life.

It was in the first minute of the first round of the 12 round championship bout when she was hit with a powerful jab to her chin that knocked her out.

When the bell chimed for the bout to start the spectators in the packed arena stood to their feet in unison, the air in the arena reverberated with their loud cheers and merrymaking. The action was intense jizelle had landed several solid blows to her opponent’s body; she landed a powerful uppercut that her stumbling backward into the ropes, dizzy.

Then it happened, the blow came at her as if from nowhere, like lightening from a cloudless sky, BAM! And she was out. She fell slowly to the mat as if to say “give me a second, I’m not done yet”. Within seconds the ringside doctor was at her side, the referee declared “fight over”. The doctor screamed “not bloody yet!” but unfortunately it was.

That faithful Sunday morning the world of Trinidad and Tobago came to an abrupt stop, our world stood still as death held her hand her body draped in her eight (8) Championship Title Belts as she walked into eternity confident and with a smile on her face.

Jizelle we will always love you.

Jizelle

Than that was her last 10 count.

Happy New Year

At approximately 12am last night Happy New Year rang out all around the world. Couples, friends and family cried danced hugged and kissed each other to welcome this New Year 2009.

In Trinidad fireworks legal and illegal rang out at midnight, dogs and other animals ran trying the get away from the loud noises. The New Year came in with a bang.

I wish an end to all the war that is going on in the world today, do I hear Peace and Love. Perfect health to all, I wish that this blog gain a lot of fans and I make millions this year (wishful thinking may be but having some extra money sure would not hurt, ha-ha)

People be good. Love to all…

Murder and a Happy New Year

I heard this evening that a thief allegedly removed several items of value from Dana Elaine Owens aka Queen Latifah’s room while she vacationed on the Island of Tobago. She was not in the room at the time of the alleged robbery, and Tobago police are mum on the alleged theft.

Today the eve of New Years Eve the Murderer’s have run rampant on the Island of Trinidad. To date over 500 people have been murdered, it is as if it was some sort of national contest “the person with the most blood on their hands wins the prize, yippy”. Trinidadians have become numb, deaf to the death bell’s toll. “Ah glad it not me” whispered under the breath when the bell tolls. In my head I can hear that kid from that show who said “are we there yet?” but instead the voice is saying “are they Dead yet?”. No but really are they all dead yet?

Are we to become accustomed to this daily onslaught to our senses and to our collective bodies, the soles of our feet are ah-washed with blood of our fellow countrymen our breath stifled with the stench of their collective rot while some of us party and drink to distract ourselves from the reality of the situation.

As a people we find unity in distraction, everything is a reason for a party. We work hard and party harder (some may say party the hardest). If someone were to conduct a survey to find out the ratio of churches or places of worship to bars I think that they will discover that for every place of worship there is a bar (a place for the enjoyment of alcohol). Ours is a place where teenagers freely walk around with alcoholic beverages especially on carnival and borough time in obvious view of the police and it is cool.

There is no place better than Trinidad and Tobago.

For the year 2009 I wish for Trinidad and Tobago, prosperity for all, No Murders, no Kidnapping, better health care for all, a greater tolerance for all and the love of God.

Have a Happy New Year all, be safe.

Lov.

Yes we did it 500!

This was an eventful year for this world. Sadly the lack of death was not part of it. I think that we should celebrate. Killing 500 was the game that we here in Trinidad and Tobago played and we won whoo-hoo! In fact we beat the 500 dead bodies’ high score. It remind me of the line from that song that some of you may know “let the bodies hit floor” and the bodies sure did hit the floor, I wander if next year the chant will be

“we want more, we want more, more bodies hit the floor, more bodies to hit the floor”.

I can hear it now like an insane early carnival morning jouvert rhythm I can taste and feel the mud on my skin like cemetery dirt on a coffin.

The government seems to catching its tail in trying to deter and catch these criminals who have engineered such a ghoulish rhythm.

Someone out there in this bright and wonderful world finally realized that the world was in a recession and shortly thereafter the government of Trinidad did recognize this fact. “Tighten your belt” was the instruction given by the Prime Minister Mr. Patrick Manning. In usual Trinidad fashion we said sure boss sometime after carnival.

Other than that I am alive, friends and loved ones too. Everyone is in relative good health and that is something to celebrate. It is a blessing to be alive and even a bigger bonus to be in good health.

What will happen in 2009? I hope only good things but you and I know better evil is not likely to end soon but good is always there like a worm blanket in the cold.

So if I don’t write on this blog before this year ends Merry Christmas, Season’s Greetings and Happy New Year. Love To All.

Who the Hell Is Patrick Manning?

This is what happen (in my own words) Mr. Manning is in a barber shop the radio is playing in the background and the two DJ’s announcers are complaining about the cost of gas for vehicles that the average consumer uses, they go on about the cost of CNG conversion kits and all while inferring that Mr. Manning was to blame for additional expense on the consumers pockets. In the last budget presentation the Government of Trinidad and Tobago increased the cost of premium gasoline. Justifying the increase by saying that the average consumer doesn’t use premium gasoline. Apparently Mr. Manning did not like what he heard so he enquired of the barber the name of the radio station and personally visited the station after he concluded his business in San Fernando.

After Mr. Manning complained in person at the radio station, the station held its own investigation and as a result the two (2) DJ’s were suspended.

Now this is my problem, why did Manning have to go there personally? He is the Prime minister of Trinidad and Tobago; his person visit ensured that the two DJ’s were suspended. Why did he not use the normal route for making complaints? Can we as ordinary citizens do the same, why shouldn’t we follow the Prime Minister’s example? Is it because as he said “I run the country” he could do what he wants? Mr. Manning I have a complain the cost of food stuff for the ordinary man is to high, criminals in the country has killed over four hundred (400) people I have a problem with that it offends me that so many of my fellow countrymen have been killed and it seems that you can do nothing about it may I come to your office and complain anytime?

If you run this country as you say be a proper example and follow the right procedures, complain you should if you are offended everyone should but there are rules and you must follow it, even you Mr. Patrick Manning. Arrogance does not become you or perhaps, that is the real Patrick Manning.

Barack Obama

They all heard it as if heard by one ear.

They ran, they sang, they cried, they sat in disbelief, they gathered in the streets and danced, they got down on their knees and prayed and this was the beginning of celebration. It is a victory for Barack Obama. Yes we can and yes he did.

This is what happened on the night during the hours after Barack Obama was declared winner of the United Stated general election. Ha Haa! Those skinheads and white supremacist all those black haters must have had one hell of a collective explosive diarrhea, man that is nasty but sweet.

This was the first time in world history that the world (most of I think) has celebrated the outcome of an American Election. I think that this is a good thing but it has put a great burden on the shoulders of Barack. A burden because he has to somehow meet the expectation of all black Americans and the freedom loving world because the United States of America has placed itself in the position of leader on this planet therefore there are world expectations. The question now is, are his shoulders broad enough to carry that global responsibility? They might just be, but he will need help of all of us.

No one taught that it could have ever happen now that it has happened what’s next? No one taught that if there was a black president of the United States that he would be a liberal; because from what I have found out American blacks have traditionally been conservative (I know that you would correct me if I am wrong). What is the next great thing to happen to the world? I don’t know may be you know may be the next president will be a woman after all it is not a far fetch idea.

Now that President Elect Obama is being briefed by the FBI, CIA and all the other agencies the work has now begun. With two wars going on their financial system in a mess he is stepping into the dance with the party in full swing and he has to find rhythm NOW.

God Bless Barack Obama.

The Perfect Vagina

What exactly is The Perfect Vagina?
Have you ever seen one?
Or is it a matter of opinion?
Tell me.

Wait a minute, how did I reach this point? I am in an internet café and on the computer that I’m using there is an .avi file called “the perfect vagina,” I am like this seems interesting so I copied it to my flash drive. When I reached home I viewed said file on my computer. I was not prepared as a guy for what I saw and heard, but I was glad who ever downloaded it and left it on the computer. It was insightful.

What I saw was a documentary, yeh documentary, by a British Television Reporter Lisa Rogers. She was investigating British women perception of their Labia and growing trend of Labia cosmetic surgery. Apparently women labia go through some changes during puberty, causing the labia to grow to different lengths and no two are exactly the same. Their may be some similarities but that is it. Where did this idea of a perfect vagina come from I am sure that people have their preferences and that is fine. If there is some abnormality of the labia that impedes the normal function of the vagina then I think that it is logical that some adjustments will be made.

One particular young lady in the documentary was teased and laughed at by her own sister about the length of her labia and she (the one do the teasing) then went on to tell their male friends about her sisters labia and they made her the lip of their jokes (pardon the bad pun). She (the sister being laughed at) was so devastated by what her sister and friends had said to her that she decided to have her labia cut and trimmed. What the hell what I saw was totally beautiful (yes you do see the before, during and after), what they did was totally not cool. What? Do they think that the shaven pubescent look of some of the women in the porn is normal and represent most women?

Have anyone ever heard anything like that in the on the male side of things? No I think not, if you have, tell me.

Being a man I was totally horrified and taken back by the whole thing. I think that all normal thinking men will not have a problem with the length of a woman’s labia. The average hetero man is just glad to be in the presence of the Yoni. (This Link is for 18years or older be warned) Yoni

To any young lady who might be considering the idea please do think very long and hard consider all. In fact I think that you should perish the taught you are beautiful all over. Why would you want to be wallpaper, the sale pattern repeated over and over again?

Be unique, there is real beauty in that.

Town Hall Debate

John McCain and Barack Obama town hall style meeting.

A whole lot of the same, where was the fundamental difference? Only one talked about education (Barak Obama), what collage students will do when they graduate and they will in the years ahead. With all the chaos in the economy something concrete has to be done. No one as far as I heard gave a this-comes-next-after-this as to what will be done. Students now will inherit this indecision when they graduate with loans to be paid and jobs to earn a paycheck to repay the loans near to non-existent.

The usual politicking occurred little or no straight answers to questions, ah whole lot of fluff. Senator John McCain stood to benefit and loose the most since this was his arena, while Barack Obama just had to gain points and that he did not much in my estimation but he did gain some points. I think in a 10 point system out of a potential full ten points John McCain gets Five (5) points and Barack Obama gets seven (7) points.

I am not American but what happens with you affects the economy here in Trinidad and Tobago when you cough we get the cold. We sell like 90% of our natural gas to the US. A security interest I say and I am sure if anything were to play off between the Americans and Venezuela we will “willingly” host you because we are just like 7 miles off the Venezuelan coast. I pray to God that nothing of the sort happens because in no form will it work out good for us.

By the way maverick (Independent person: an independent thinker who refuses to conform to the accepted views on a subject) has been thrown around by the republicans, while there is some good there is also another meaning, Unbranded animal: an unbranded animal, especially a calf that has become separated from its mother and herd. By convention, it can become the property of whoever finds it and brands it. (Microsoft Encarta 2009)

Think About it.
