Bye bye Journal.....
In my best interest I would not be making anymore Journal entries. I may write more poems and maybe how I feel about certain topical issues but no more journal.

You know what??........I just might forget about ever writing anymore poems......I hope that as one avenue of self expression closes another one would quickly open......

The eyes will twitch.....
I'm scared and I don't know why. I sorta wish I had someone to talk to at nights so that I can be reminded of the little reasons that are left in this wicked world to smile, laugh and be happy, instead of being conquered and frightened by my own imagination.
These gruesome images keep popping into my head for no apparent reason and it appears as tho' the only way that I can get rid of them, well besides watching TV and surfing the net, is by writing about them....I'm watching a woman being burnt to death in front of the Court House in Kingstown. Another man is running towards me and he is covered in flames. Poor me there calling fuh some water fuh d man before running away....STOP!!!
I have one question. What is the significance of a twitching eye? You know. When you eye lid starts a series of uncontrollable muscle contractions. I was told the night before that's it's a sign that something bad is about to occur. I didn't know what to believe for it means different things for different people. For some it's a good sign while for others it's a bad sign. Which is it for me?
That same night (Tuesday) I had two full hour episodes of The Twitching Eye (LOL). Allow me to highlight something here. The following day, which was yesterday, a lawyer was shot to death and a boy was attacked by a dog......erm yea....This brings me to my hypothesis: My eye twitches every time something bad is about to happen. I hope that this is rejected and that it's just a random coincidence.
Hey! I have a perfect explanation for all of this. There's only one disease that runs in my family and that's CRAZINESS!!!! Sorry but once you've got it you can't get rid of it. There ain't no cure babe......There ain't no cure (as you can clearly see....lol)......Woooooooooohooooooooo
It's selectively contagious.......later.....
*singing* 'I'm the maid (repeat a mil times to the tune of Dora's I'm the map song...if yuh know it...
Wonder if Performing Arts has a meeting tmr. Ha call Maria to find out...
Ciao

Lawyer killed, boy attacked by dog
There has been yet another murder in St. Vincent and the Grenadines which brings the number of homicides this year to 16. This morning, on his way to his work office, lawyer, Bertram Stapleton, was shot and killed by a masked gunman. Reports state that three gunshots were fired. He died after receiving one gunshot to his head.
Why he was killed is still as much of a mystery as who killed him. No one has yet been arrested. The other details that I've heard thus far are a bit disturbing therefore I would not mention them, but let's just say that there's no way that he could've survived. My condolences to his family and friends.
We talk about brain drain (NO pun intended) and that it is a problem that needs be solved in this country. We encourage Vincentians from all over the world to return to this land to aid in the development of this 'Land of the Blessed', but how should persons who are studying feel at this moment? If I were studying, I would not return. My reason being, fear. I would feel as though I am at a higher risk at being killed, one way or another. Today a lawyer, a brilliant man. Tomorrow??? (I hope it's that dog)
On other important matters, a young boy was attacked by a pitbull, today. The eight year old boy is simply lucky to be alive. He, like other persons who would have been attacked by these vicious dogs, will no longer have the face he once saw in the mirror. What caused the dog to attack the boy, whose face is no stranger to it, is still unknown.
There is a saying that goes "Hu dor hear mus feel", and at this moment unfortunately everyone has to deal with the consequences of the actions of a few people, but you know what they say; 'Peter pay fuh Paul. Paul pay for all'. I hope that, with this being the second attack by pitbulls in this country, that the Government would actually DO something about these so-called 'man's best friends'. These dogs are killers, and like guns we appear to welcome them with open arms to the house of deadly weapons to help murderers go down the wrong road. Earlier this year a woman's life was cut short by four of these deadly dogs. The extent of her injury was unimaginable and I still cannot believe that such a thing actually occurred. She lost her hair, and was unable to be identified, among other things.
When lives are lost or changed, where's the justice? So what if the four dogs that killed that woman are dead now? Are all the other pitbulls going to be left in SVG to kill and hurt other people??? If one dog did it and another tried, who's so sure that all the others won't? I don't think they are anything close to angels.
*With a big grin* No. These pits are to going to fear death because they heard of what the other beasts of their kind did. The other pit bulls are going to say "Hey I dor wah dead ana. Beh me dor geh hungry and kill nobody yuh hear. Time to change my life." *scoffs*
I'm waiting, like everyone else, to see what would be done about 'Death's best friends'. Are they going to be banned? Would you need a license for them? Let's wait. I just hope that by the time a law is passed that it won't be too late for another family......
May Bertram Stapleton rest in peace...........

Kiss of Chemistry
Here's a story I wrote a few months ago. It was originally on my website (emulberry.webs.com) as a Teen Ministory, but since I've abandoned that, why not bring it here? Some of you may have read it before though, but that shouldn't be any biggy....Hope yuh like it.....
I walked into school today only to be greeted by my poor results on my recently set Math Exam. How welcoming! Instantly a cloud of depression floated above my head, following me everywhere I went, blocking out all the vibrant sunshine from my day.
I began freaking out, after the fact that I had not exceeded my personal pass mark of 70% really sunk in. I almost began to cry because that Exam was very important for it contributed to my final grade at the end of my third semester. Never had I ever felt this bloomy in my entire life (well as far as my memory takes me). I was at my lowest and at that moment there was nothing that I could really do to lift my spirits. (That’s what I thought…). I mean what else could really go wrong with my day? This by far is the worst!! Can't get any lower than this.
Oops , no wait, here comes Mr. Henry with my third Chemistry Ex of the term. Well would you look at that grade. I failed again! Ok, I lied a second ago. Sorry. Now, I'm at my lowest and you can go lower than low.
On my road to recovery I played SIMS a little, but that didn’t work for I got fed up of building my almost dream house. My next move was to eat, drink and mini party my depression away. Woops that didn’t work either. My overall mood hadn't changed a bit.
A few of us (girls that is) were in the Science Laboratory at the time a few boys decided to join us. In this pack was Barnz (That’s his nic name). I wasn’t really paying attention to him for I had my eyes on another boy, Jake, my newest crush. The sad thing is that Jake was too shy to make a move, so Barnz took the leading role of my story resulting in the unfortunate departure of Jake. How sad, he so dumb. ( I always tend to like really dumb guys).
Barnz sat next to me on the lab desk and took an ear of my headphone as I began to listen to some Soca. After a short while we decided to take a look at the Chemistry lab (Hint hint!), which was his idea of course. I decided to take a different route, you know to make it look less obvious, and it actually worked. The others saw when we left but they hadn’t the slightest clue. We got comfortable and immediately got right into it. I surprised myself tho’ for someone with no experience at all. Guess the television finally paid off…lol.
The unfortunate thing was that there was no sparkle, no magic, no nothing, but I liked it. I didn’t expect him to be the hero of the day. I wanted that special moment to be with Jake, but everything’s a sign I guess.
My problems hadn’t disappeared but that’s how it had seemed, and that’s how I felt for the following couple of days. Some things are much better than rum!!
The best part is: nobody knew but us :P (Well not anymore) lol

Just thought you'd like to see this video
I was talking to a friend of mine a while ago. After I told him that I was extremely bored he sent me a link to a video on Youtube.....Well all I can say is that at the end of the video, if there were flies around I surely would have caught a few.....here it is...... Kobe Bryant gets smashed....LOL!!!
Poem: 'Throwing things out'
Throwing some things out
Right now I'm running
Very fast. Very far
Away from you.
Yet everywhere I turn
You're right there.
Like the unemployed
You're everywhere.
Just like vagrants
Out of nowhere you appear.
The television. The radio. The internet.
Common dialogue for crying out loud.
I don't want to find another.
Trust me. I'd rather be without.
Because I've realized, over these past few years,
That....oh nevermind.
An incurable disease you are.
Can't get rid of it.
You just have to live with it.
Then you die with it.
Yes you can fight it.
But you're never gonna beat it.
You'd lose to it
Everytime!
This poem has strayed so much
So far from the beginning
But no need to worry
For it's near the ending.
I'm tired of loving
I'm exhausted
An overworked donkey.
You see this thing called love
Has taken every last Joule
Of energy
Left in me
Happy?
Just remind me to use water proof paper
Next time...

[Oh and btw, that's me up there with a mean face on..lookin all angry and stuff...ideal for this one for I am a little bit mad.....lol.....I did it myself:D]

Poem: "Silence"
Silence
It’s the loudest sound you’ll ever hear.
Louder that thunder, carnival, an explosion.
For sometime,
It seems as though the world stops revolving,
And everyone’s just shouting.
Silence is what I try to avoid.
I find noise is the quietest sound.
That’s when the world would spin on its axis again.
And I hear nothing but…..yes that’s right.
Nothing.
My mind is at ease.
Seems like I’m in no despair
There’s life all around.
Those things that are disguised by light
I see them best in the dark.
Betraly, trust, love hatred.
Dishonesty, envy, and your insecurity.
How can you be a free man behind those bars?
How is it you carry the image of a prisoner
When you sentence has ended?
Do you enjoy being one of many prisoners of love?
Any number greater than one is lonely.
Yes loneliness is infinite.
I like one, especially
On the beach where
The waves of my existence kiss my feet.
Give me anything. Anything at all.
Anything but that loud silence.
Fayt….(CKFO)

Alicia Keys' 'Superwoman'
Song of the day......'Superwoman' by Alicia Keys.......Here's the video and lyrics
Everywhere I'm turning
Nothing seems complete
I stand up and I'm searching
For the better part of me
I hang my head from sorrow
Slave to humanity
I wear it on my shoulders
Gotta find the strength in me
Cause I am a Superwoman
Yes I amYes she is
Even when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yesI'm a Superwoman
For all the mothers fighting
For better days to come
And all my women, all my women sitting here trying
To come home before the sun
And all my sisters
Coming together
Say yes I will
Yes I can
Cause I am a Superwoman
Yes I am
Yes she is
Even when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes
I'm a Superwoman
When I'm breaking down
And I can't be found
And I start to get weak
Cause no one knows
Me underneath these clothes
But I can fly
We can fly, Oooohh
Cause I am a Superwoman
Yes I am
Yes she is
Even when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes
I'm a Superwoman

What my poem really means....
By the response of a few of my friends, I'm guessing that they felt as tho they were in Eng B class again....a feeling that they all thought was gone forever. Sorry ....lol.....
My poem, Catch and Release is centered around a single saying. The phrase "There are lots of fishes in the sea", is one of the most popular phrases said to another when he or she is hurt by the one that he or she has loved. A phrase that is meant to comfort the ears of those depressed by love.
In the first stanza I have placed all these fishes in a lake, "The lake of love and life", and I am one of them. They are all female fishes by the way, and there are male fishermen. It's a brand new day. There's evidence that the persona is a fish for it says "Your face is distorted, in comes your feet." Ever tried looking out of the water when you're under it?
"Playful ripples of interest": pretending to be interested in being with a girl (me) or leading me on
"It stands alone" the hook with the bait.
"Isn't that lovely?" I'm attracted to it...well him, figuratively speaking.....
"I'm a bit hungry"- has nothing to do with desparation....just ties in with the fishing theme.
"Oops"- I got hooked...I liked him
Blah blah....then he just had me there adn fling me bk in the water.....
There you have it: Catch and release....line by line (sorta)....
Soooo....To sum everything up. This poem is about a guy who played with my heart recently. Made me think certain things were going to happen. Had me fooled (Don't think it was intentional....buh still....it hurt)

Poem: Catch and Release
I don't know if you can tell, but I wasn't in any real mood to write anything.....My original intentions was to write a little something about what guys really want from girls.......or something along that line....not sure when that's coming.....I was ill today and I'll be in Bequia tmr (If the weather holds up). Would've invited some friends but it's nothing like that......happy reading
Catch and Release
A warm summer breeze
Over the lake of love and life.
Reflection of a new beginning
Off its surface at sunrise.
Your face is distorted
In comes your feet
Playful ripples of interest
Spread all over me
It's that foreigner again
He that comes ever too often
It stands alone. All alone
Why isn't anyone approaching?
Would you look at that!
Isn't that lovely?
Maybe I'd just have a small bite
I am a little bit hungry.
Ooops.
Everything is so different
Out here is much colder
Suspended in mid air
A figure to admire?
I'm home again
Way down under
Waiting. Swimming and waiting.
For another foreigner.

The names that I am about to mention are not those of real characters so good luck guessing........in the end everything would be based on your assumption...I not callin any names!.....lol......so here goes nothing....I hope he doesn't get mad with me buh hell, daz life........lol......maybe I should write a poem on him too, or sing a song......hahaha!!!! right!!!!
If I could take back what I said about Jesse I would but that’s just not possible. (OMG there’s ants on my toi…focus Fayt…Gosh I have such a short attention…..oh there’s where I put that thing…know how long I was looking for my pen?……oh yea right....)
At tennis yesterday, Leona (my bff) learnt about what had happened the day before. How I was left standing in the rain that Friday afternoon (not exactly. It was quite sunny) waiting on something that would never show up. It was like waiting for the perfect man….…Anyways she disagreed with the fact that I should move on from Jesse so soon. She said that there was a good reason why there wasn’t even a txt to say ‘I ain’t coming back’. She also said that he is interested. Of course I had different views….How would you feel if someone you had a crush on told you they were coming back and they never showed up? Devastated I tell you!!! Simple: he was just not interested at all…
Later that evening I got in trouble (again) because I was late for the first time ever for a show at Victoria Park. Hey it isn’t exactly easy for a girl to be runninng around the house (literally) in heels looking for a brush and eye shadow! I geh cuss the night before for eating Ramen, cuz I was hungry….pshk nothing new……Jesse had not planned to come inside of the park for some strange reason, so I had to find a way to get outside. My original plan was to ‘forget’ something in the car, but I did not have the chance to leave anything that belonged to me. Fortunately I left behind, unintentionally of course, some neccessaties. (Ah geh cuss again fo dat). For once I didn’t mind…right according to plan…
I didn’t want to go all the way to Aunt Jobes parking lot all by myself, so what you think I did next? I asked my friends buh dey say no. So I asked my last resort, Jesse (I know right, last resort?….I just wanted another reason to enjoy the night more….faith they say it is?…..lol). He arrived a phone call, a plee and a few minutes later, dressed in Jeans (duh!! Didn’t really expect him to be in tights), and a striped t-shirt. A smile was comfortable fit onto my face and when he explained why he hadn’t returned I found yet another reason to hate Leona. She’s always right!)
What caught me off gurad was the mere fact that he offered to help me with the little bags I had…..how nice…..When I jumped over a pot hole, the facial expression that swept across his face was priceless…..he thought I had fallen. Ha! Prob would have if I hadn’t jumped…..next thing you know my heel geh stick in some random hole…..plz!
You know what happened? I accidentally hit him in the 'restricted area'. No
not that one....the other one......How embarassing indeed. I mean I thought his back was a little lower. That poor hand and back-of-my-head- eye coordination. That wasn't me I tell you. It was the Malibu and Pine.....buh then again, how could I really miss that........
For the rest of the night we kept each others company (most of the time that is), and I occasionally ran away to talk fart with my friends (that skank convo was a killer……buh we had to stop cuz Foxy was getting freaked out…...) Time and I had settled our differences for I was granted more than enough of it to do whatever I wanted, which included the analysis of his hands…..I even leaned on his sholder (damn heels…I love you!) All the nitty gritty details will remain a memory. Everything else is just a memory…..How Rhonique won, I couldn’t say. Did the other contestants deserce whatever award they received? Why ask me? I had better things to do than to watch oh so boring show…….I use to think Beer was disgusting once upon a time….until I met Mr. Whiskey…….:) But hey pineapple juice taste nice tho…and anything creamy and white is good for you…..(a drink……)
So what does all of this mean?
Well let me give you an update. Due to lack of….I don’t even know……..I now have no Mr. Potential. Now I’m back to square one…..You know, I really regret not forwarding those stupid love chain emails like they told me to, but hey, I guess 10 years of bad luck in love isn’t all that bad now is it??......Sad huh?
Btw this is not the original story....I left out a good bit of stuff.....lol.........they would've made the story a bit more interesting but.......ttyl.....
I'll be addingg new artists to my list of Fav Artists right there on the right hand side....On these pages you'll find a few pics, some videos and of course music.....I'm going in alphabetical order ( I think).....so there's your first.....Aaliyah (I'll be adding Against Me! and Akon later tonight)......
Ciao....

One year gone already.....
Today marks the one year anniversary of Granny Ruby's death (meh granny on mother side)*sighs* I found it rather strange that I stayed up last night until morn (went to bed sometime after 1), buh then I was reminded of this day.
I don't really want to remember everything that happened on this day exactly one year ago, I mean who wants to remember death? Really now?? Nehuz I wrote a poem some time ago, I recommend you read it. All you have to do is Click here when you're done everything......*sighs* She was 95 btw.......yea she never told anyone her age......we always thought she was 80 something.....lol
Up to this day I still can't believe she's gone you know. When I go home, it has become so religious for me to call out to her that I just can't get it out of my system. I miss the knocking on the board to (it sounds weird huh? Buh she use to knock on the board...well at least we use to know that she was still with us)....One time, after her death right, while I was in the living room with my mother, my mother knocked on the board wall and called out to her and all of a sudden we heard two knocks. Now if it wasn't me, and it wasn't my mother, and it definitely wasn't the cats, then who the hell did that??? That was madddddd freaky!!!! But hey that's what she use to do when she was alive. Now while I was there freaking out my mother just laughed.....
Like I said I bringing my own videos just now.....Can't wait to do fart with my camera.... :D

I love Money.....
Yes VH1 has been able to produce yet another show....I love Money. This show comprises of contestants of previous shows namely Flavour of love, I love New York and Rock of Love, where each individual would have competed for and in one case won the heart of some famous person. But that's not the only thing they have in common. They all LOVE MONEY......obviously! Which is the reason why they are on the show....All these shows seem to have the wrong idea of love in common.....Nehuz I almost died with laughter while watching it on VH1 so here's some of the clips from the first 2 episodes....hope it's as funny to you as it was to me....(well some parts)
Today is Sunday??? No....shucks bai.....I was jus goin watch it again........A new episode will be aired on Sunday night on VH1....not sure wat time tho, buh you bound to find out by just turning on the tv.....dey ha advertise it some time on VH1......
What a day it has been indeed......all I did was work.....Besides that today is just one of those many days where I feel like the world would be a better place without me......But hey! on the bright side I saved the world from being dominated by alien dogs just by using a broken PVC pipe. Yea I know I have weird dreams. It started out with bubbles coming out of the sky, yea and then ah bus a f-note after that (in my dream)......I once dreamt that the moon was in my backyard. Another time I dreamt that the world had ended. No now that was scary even tho there were fireworks all over the place.....I really need to get this brain of mine checked.....
I ran across an email that's almost 2 years old...Gosh so long I been...................damn.....It made my eyes water so I just closed it down.....Couldn't stop smiling while I was reading it...I'd never delete that. When I get older I want to look back and see all the evidence of me being an idiot/smarty (no one knows what the future holds you know). It's a nice memory to keep :)...But anyways back to me feeling like shit...........
Btw I eat all the brownies.....boooooooo.......tell em Einstein........
Coming soon......Video Journal.........cuz I'm bored and have nothing else to do with my summer....besides it gives me freedom to do fun stuff...like interview Billy again.....(Billy's a goat that once lived at College) LOL......
Ciao.......

Aaliyah...my fav videos and songs.........
Remember her? If you don't then shame on you. Thought you said that Aaliyah will be gone but not forgotten! It has been 4 years since she left us....yes time passes very quickly. I remember that day like it was yesterday.....nah not yesterday, more like 4 years ago. She was one of my favourite artists back then when she was alive and she still is even tho she's gone. When that plane crashed and she was all over the news, every night when I went to bed I would hope to capture her spitir and then I'd be able to sing like her. This was a real serious thing, boi I crazy long time (I was a really weird child). I was thinking along the line to reincarnation, but it wasn't quite the same thing....it was more like just capturing that talent that was taken from this world. Well that never happened, because I sing like a lil baby.......Aaliyah had a pretty voice...
Here are some of her videos.....Yes these are my favourite ones from her......I loved her voice btw....I think that you can pick that up, lol. I was really looking forward to great things from her, but then again so was R. Kelly. We miss you Aaliyah.....RIP......
Photos courtesy random sites on the net........
If you don't want to watch her videos then you can simply listen to her songs right below. There are quite a few more songs from here too.......'Miss you', 'One in a million, 'Rock the boat', 'Try again', 'More than a woman', and a few more.......

Road March Results......
2008 Road march goes to Icon with his hit song 'A pain' (yea I always thought that the name of his song was '2 Knee'...buh nevertheless...........he still win....yup that's my husband)
2nd was this year's Soca Monarch champ, Skinny Fabulous, with 'Head bad (on the spot)'
And third was Problem Child with his song 'For life'
Hate to say I told you so....but I told you that those three would come up in the top 3..........
Nehuz I gone cook lunch.....then I going to bake brownies while I'm at it...anybody wants??
(I just have this feeling that somebody is going to tell me that they'd eat it a few hours after I've eaten one.....lol....typical man)
Btw I like this song...
More importantly...look at what I found on Youtube...Here's a Video of Fireman Hooper's performance at the 2008 Vincy Soca Monarch....See if you can figure out the reason he failed to win again......

Breaking News!!!
Breaking news! Breaking News!!!! Carnival DONE!!!!
It's very hard to believe, and many persons are struggling to come to grips with such an unfortnate occurrence. Carnival lovers are carrying out investigations into the matter and evidence leads to the CDC as the main suspect. When Pinkfourteen learns more of this incident we promise to keep everyone up to date......
:(
So how about a Carnival Round up....
I am a Claypso fan but I find it easier to stay awake at a Claypso finals in the comfort of my home, that's why I didn't go to the show on Sunday night. Nevertheless I saw my brother playing pan with the Potential Steel Orchestra. Wooh!! Does he have a lot of energy and can he dance. It's nice to see him being invloved in something that can have a positive impact on his life. At least it keeps him off the street when no one else can. Btw he was in Pan long before the Pan against crime campaign ok..so don't be getting the wrong idea....Proud ah me lil bro man.....:D Heard that Princess Monique is the new Calypso Queen, so congrats to her.
Jouvert?? Unfortunately I got to town too late to join the hottest Jouvert band on this and every year. Nevertheless I had fun and got paint all over my skin. my friends thought that I was drunk and I'm sure many other people thought the same thing........buh I wasn't.....Is it really possible to get drunk just by drinking a bottle of Pepsi??? C'mon!!! The usual lime was aite.....I didn't see a lot of people, sadly. I won't talk about the dancing ok?......what happened at Carnival stays right where it belongs.......lol.....not like I was naughty or anything....I just know how to have clean fun........:D
Monday evening was at first BORING!!!!! I found it very difficult to stand under PO where just that morning at Jouvert a young boy had emptied his stomach on the floor. The disgusting thing about it was that a few little children were playing, falling down and dabbing their tiny hands in the remains of all that mess.....EWE!!!!! (The little kid thing happend the same morning)
Exciting was built up with every passing band and quickly fell when the band was out of ear shot...I left town a little before midnight and quicly fell asleep as soon as I hit my bed.....guess that's the only thing that can stop this energizer bunny......sitting or lying down............lol
Tuesday?......tsk tsk....Post Office was ram packed....wey all dem pickney neega come from????? Who not smoking, sexin with they clothes on. Who ain staggering shouting out "Aye yea".....I could go on and on buh let's just say under dey was terrible. (and if under dey bin hot again).....
At first it was like my High School ball all over again. I was depressed for various reasons and I depended on PO to lift my spirits but it only made it worst. But like my ball, by the end of the night I could safely say that I had fun, this time at the bank parking lot.....Now that's what Carnival is all about. Honestly I really didn't feel like dancing with any boy because they were the source of my sadness in the first place, so I just wanted to have fun all by myself. I really felt a lot better that way.
Some people were a bit surprised at the lenght of my pants....I just had to laugh....I wore that pants for a reason......c'mon is the last day of Carnival.....
I must say that this year Carnival was a lot safer. There were fewer fights than before and a lot of people actually behaved themselves, well from what I saw. There was also a major increase in the number of police on the road and that was good. They looked a bit young tho. Honestly they look like they hardly had any training.........lol...........nevertheless they were they are they were reespected.
While the crime scale was decreased I noticed that the teens are a bit more out of hand and bad behaved than before. A lot of them were smoking and having sex with their clothes on i.e. It made me wonder about the future of this nation and where out society is heading. Our youths need a lot of help and most of it must come from home. Unfortunately God is absent in many homes in SVG. I don't mind dancing but, you know, just hold da down....some people does really over do it ana........
I cannot recall tho, ever hearing Fireman Hooper's song on the road yesterday and the day before that. Then that automatically means that he is out of the question for roadmarch. LOL!!! My top 3 are Skinny's "Me head bad(on the spot)", Icon's "2knee" and Problem Child's "For life". I think that the guy who sang "Ah cah hear" has a good shot as well as Poorsah's "Hunt man".......We'll see about that later.....
My friends are planting palms at school today.....hope they're havin fun but I really couldn't make it.....My lil cousin woke up at 11:00am......c'mon.......
Gone cook lunch....ta ta........

We head bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Skinny!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The show of all shows, Soca Monarch, was held at Carnival City, Victoria Park, last evening, and saw a record breaking crowd turning out to see twenty of St. Vincent's top Soca artists compete for the title of Soca Monarch. The nineteen artists performed their best and most managed to move, shake and lift the crowd but only one was able to dethrone the then reighning Soca Monarch. Other competitors on the other hand could not do enough to even make the crowd want to dance. An unidentified flying object was seen by many flying on its course to the back of a male competitor. Things like these were only seen on television until this day.
The show began with fireworks, that seemed to take forever to finish, (they were pretty tho). These fireworks were followed by the introduction of the two male MCs of the night, Colin "The hitman" Graham, and some other guy ( I can't remember his name right now...like I ever) which included the listing of the rules of the night. One of those rules was something along this line....If yuh know your woman buttin yo wid another man and he dey here in the park tonight, before alyo get into anything, just leave!!........*cough* Wonder why the other MC didn't say that one......
Before the competition actually started there were a few performances by former Soca Kings. If you ever go to a show and the artist performing introduces alllllllll the members of the band, including the back up singers (individually!) before he starts to not sing, then he's drunk!!!!! A confirmation should read the following: He was later seen staggering throughout the crowd, eating BBQ.....
Now to the individual performances.
I cannot remember a lot of the performances that took place that night for more than one reasons. The performance was boring, I didn't really like the song, or I was not looking forward to seeing that person perform (cuz they weren't in my top 5).....
My top 5 artists were: Skinny Fabulous, Problem Child, Icon, Demus, and Fireman Hooper (only because he somehow manages to move the crowd and his song isn't all that bad), and guess what those were the top 5 for the finals. What else can I say but I have good taste in Soca music. I was a bit disappointed tho, and that's only because there were a few Soca artistes that either did not make it to the finals or did not participate in the Soca Monarch. For example the guy who sang the song that goes something like this: "Me go mad ana me go mad ana....Ah cah hear...ah cah hear..." That song woulda mash up the place no lie....
Anyhuz all the artists did their best, and there must be a reason why they were in the finals. However, there was only one person who could've put Fireman Hooper in his place, and that's meh boi Skinny!!!!!!!!!!!!(He sang "Meh head bad") Congrats man.....Second was Fireman Hooper with "hu e hut e hut", third was meh other boi Problem Child with "For life", fourth was Icon with "2knee" (he needs to move up the ladder man..buh then again where else would he go??), and rounding up the top 5 is Demus with his song "We going crazy"
Congrats to all the finalists once more. Skinny Fabulous automatically goes on to represent St. Vincent and the Grenadines in the Regional Soca Monarch in Trinidad and Tobago. The prize for the winner of that show is TT$1,000,000.00 (which is half that amount in ECD$)
Before I go to get some rest for Jouvert I will leave you with the Video of the day and it's the Performance that won Skinny the Soca Monarch 2008 title. Here's "Me head bad" by Skinny Fabulous at the 2008 Vincy Soca Monarch.............weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! (found it on Youtube....teeeheeee)
The show of all shows, Soca Monarch, was held at Carnival City, Victoria Park, last evening, and saw a record breaking crowd turning out to see twenty of St. Vincent's top Soca artists compete for the title of Soca Monarch. The nineteen artists performed their best and most managed to move, shake and lift the crowd but only one was able to dethrone the then reighning Soca Monarch. Other competitors on the other hand could not do enough to even make the crowd want to dance. An unidentified flying object was seen by many flying on its course to the back of a male competitor. Things like these were only seen on television until this day.
The show began with fireworks, that seemed to take forever to finish, (they were pretty tho). These fireworks were followed by the introduction of the two male MCs of the night, Colin "The hitman" Graham, and some other guy ( I can't remember his name right now...like I ever) which included the listing of the rules of the night. One of those rules was something along this line....If yuh know your woman buttin yo wid another man and he dey here in the park tonight, before alyo get into anything, just leave!!........*cough* Wonder why the other MC didn't say that one......
Before the competition actually started there were a few performances by former Soca Kings. If you ever go to a show and the artist performing introduces alllllllll the members of the band, including the back up singers (individually!) before he starts to not sing, then he's drunk!!!!! A confirmation should read the following: He was later seen staggering throughout the crowd, eating BBQ.....
Now to the individual performances.
I cannot remember a lot of the performances that took place that night for more than one reasons. The performance was boring, I didn't really like the song, or I was not looking forward to seeing that person perform (cuz they weren't in my top 5).....
My top 5 artists were: Skinny Fabulous, Problem Child, Icon, Demus, and Fireman Hooper (only because he somehow manages to move the crowd and his song isn't all that bad), and guess what those were the top 5 for the finals. What else can I say but I have good taste in Soca music. I was a bit disappointed tho, and that's only because there were a few Soca artistes that either did not make it to the finals or did not participate in the Soca Monarch. For example the guy who sang the song that goes something like this: "Me go mad ana me go mad ana....Ah cah hear...ah cah hear..." That song woulda mash up the place no lie....

Boredom is a sin.....well it should be.........
I'm sitting here talking to some of the people that mean the world to me.......but besides that I'm bored....
Tonight is the Miss. Carival show at the Victoria Park....and how do I feel? Well I just feel like crying because I'm so bored. I'm here at home because I'm not in any mood for that show tonight. There are thirteen girls participating from countries across the Caribbean. They are to be judged in four categories and talent takes up a good bit of time. Obviously there must be some guest artists, namely Nicky Crosby (again...if I'm not mistaken), Shanel Nanton, (a participant in the 2008 Miss. SVG pageant), and a host of others......If I had gone I would have been wearing heels and I would have been downstairs surrounded by a great number of men (because practically all the girls stayed home tonight wonder why)........My guess is that umm.....the show is going to be toooooooooooooooooo long...............i like my feet thank you!!!.....plus I dor wah look like no whore.................
I want a bump.............
Song of the Day is:......................."The Green Gentleman" by Panic at the Disco......just love these guys.....
Like I said. I want one now!!!!!

Me and my restaurant.......
Ok....There are a lot of things that are running through my mind at this point.....just one big pot of emotions....My guess is that you prob won't understand what I'm about to talk about from just reading it without a preface. Well obviously, I would have had relationships with a couple of dudes in the past...or just a fling w/e........I refer to that as my restaurant......customer=boy/man, main course=bf, dessert=kiss, outsiders looking in= dudes that I don't really like, dude that passes for a cup of tea=either he flirts a lil with me or it's the other way around but nothing more can develpo from that................so here goes......bet you, you're never going to find out who I'm talking about in each case.........read away...........
I am the owner, head chef, every damn thing of a restaurant. The name? Super's delight? Idk buh that doesn't matter now does it?? For the past few years I have had several customers.
I am the owner, head chef, every damn thing of a restaurant. The name? Super's delight? Idk buh that doesn't matter now does it?? For the past few years I have had several customers.
The first nibbled on the food and pretended to like it. He had his other meals elsewhere but it was my first customer so I didn't really know what to expect. Don't we all learn from our mistakes at some point in time? Life's experiences is the greatest teacher they say. So I kicked him out and he was never to return again. After all, he didn't really care for his tummy was already full....It's just so unfortunate that he had already progress to the main course.....There was not enough time for dessert....ha!
The following customer eat my food and he did enjoy it. However, he had also enjoyed the food from another restaurant. There was competition and because of this he left my restaurant without dessert. Sad isn't it....dessert is the best part....He kept peeping in from the outside window, and he'd occasionally walk in and say hi. One time he even took desert from me when I wasn't looking....teef!!!
Then there was the most confusing one of all. I really enjoyed his company in the restaurant, for I was alone in there all the time. I cooked him up the nicest food, most of the time. The confusing thing is that I couldn't tell whether he liked it or not. He's the longest customer I've ever had. Sometimes I would call him for a cup of tea and we would have a nice little chat before he goes off to his favourite restaurant. Not mine...duh!!!!!
I later learnt that there were many prospectives that just didn't have the guts to open the door, take a seat and wait their turn. All they did was stare inside from the window occasionally....now all I can say is: "If only I had known." Sometimes some guys would choose to stand and look in when I'm in the back cooking up a storm, when I won't see them at the window........
As I enterd College, business began to improve and there were more customers looking to have at least a cup of tea. I had even closed down for renovations but opened soon after I had done so. I saw more of them outside which was a good sign. I'd invite some of them but I'd later have to kick them out. One was bad behaved. The other was eating toooooo slowly and I really couldn't wait on him to finish the dish so that I could wash it. Oh gosh you know how frustrating that is. Sometimes ah does well wah go home. There was this one. He had been outside for a really long time now and I felt bad for inviting other customers and leaving him there so I called him in. Well finally someone gets the dessert......lol......ha! he wasn't the first. You know I have done cheesecake twice and chocolate chip cookies before that. Mmmmm those were good.....
Business is booming. Can't go wrong with that. My last customer gave me a bit of trouble.. I served him lunch, dinner, more than once and he just wouldn't eat. So I said bye bye to him...Yup I kicked him out and now he's at my window constantly peering inside at this unknown customer who's obviously having a ball....Why waste my raw materials?
I always knew that running a restaurant was hard but never thought that it would be this hard...My present customer confuses me a little bit. I mean, he's a nice one yes and honestly, I haven't had one of those in ages. In addition to that he eats well but there's just one problem. He doesn't want the main course. You know how long I've had that recipe stuck up on the white board in my kitchen waiting for someone to order it??? So exactly what does that mean??? Should I kick him out and invite someone else in.....one who I know is actually going to order that special meal?? Or should I just enjoy your company and cook those simple things for ya?? Truth is. I don't want to do that last one. You should've told me what you wanted from the very beginning; a cup of tea!!!
I think I'm about to open the door and randomly select my next customer. Is things like these that make restaurant owners just let in a few people at a time (although that leads to overcrowding, which leads to everyone wanting to leave.........lol)
Junior Panorama is this afternoon and today is one of ma girlies Bday.....Happy Bday Chic...........
