Logbook » Praise You

written by Owen, published 2006-Jul-31, comment

Its the night before. Well actually its today. At around 9 o'clock several events will be set into motion which will cause an uncertain effect. I've been up all night formulating a plan of action. Thats what I do, like any calculated bastard - I formulate. Should in fact everything go well, then I am home free. Else should everything go wrong I would be at a point of no recovery. Its a do or die situation. I placed the order on friday and in the next 8 hours it should be delivered onto its unsuspecting victim. The note was skillfully crafted to hide my identity and yet reveal it fully to the informed.

I've waited over a month and everything comes down to this penultimate point. In the next couple of hours the balance will tilt in either direction and it will be my fault. The telephone will ring, that, is the one thing of which I am certain. Either way she will call and as usual I will have nothing important to say at that point because I would have clearly forgotten my master plan. I could childishly avoid the call but I cannot gauge what effect that that will have. The downside of being "ever present" is that its hard for you to disappear or become temporarily unavailable. I could fake an illness but more than likely she would call me at home.

We could start over again if something else were to happen in the next couple of hours. If I were to wake up on the floor. But I am pretty sure that apart form the war in Israel, everything will go as normal and nothing will over shadow the event. In the seemly infinite possible outcomes, I can't think of the worst thing that could happen. And it worries me. It could be destiny. However, destiny usually happens in 2 forms; its either the point when you die or the point when stop wondering what next is going to happen. Either case sucks for you because what would life be without the worrying about indeterminate events. I have to celebrate you baby, I have to praise you like I should.

Logbook » Flavor of the week

written by owen, published 2006-Jul-23, comment

Yesterday it finally happened. The event I had feared for so long, finally happened unexpectedly like an ice burg that hit my titanic and sunk it to the depths of a very deep deep, bottomless ocean full of craters. With a cubby white girl shouting "Jack, Jack, Don't leave me". A redheaded girl with a seemingly endless desire for drama, running and spitting. I have always liked that movie. Not only for the death, nudity and running but for the people falling from the top of the ship and hitting rails as they fell. Physics is insensitive but cool like a rabid monkey, calm when asleep but steadfast like a ninja.

And yesterday it happened. The penultimate event - a meteor speeding towards earth, headed straight for a major city. You would think its just a regular space launch of scientists but in fact they are actually launching oil-drillers bent on blowing up the meteor with a nuclear device. Poor meteor. Why does saving the earth always involve blowing something up? Can't we all just get along?

My ipod headphones where ripped form my ears. I knew it would happen sooner or later. One or both of the ears would stop working and I would be reduced to getting a pair of regular black head phones. I had not a Motorola phone or gucci shades. Nothing with which to lure women. Got nothing but love baby - eight days a week. All I had that was cool were those head phones. Get fancy. My last bit of personal style, gone. The fashion police are going to get me for sure. I'll have to wait until they build an apple store in Jamaica. That in itself is highly unlikely. Blogger linkup wednesday.

Blog Jamaica » Auto Insurance

written by owen, published 2006-Jul-02, comment

All I remember is thinking I wanna be like them. The auto insurance bastards actually wanted to charge me $125,000 JMD for one year of comprehensive insurance. Reason being that my license in only 11 months old and I have failed the mandatory drug test they administered to me over the phone. Lesson learned? get your drivers license as soon as possible. I never understood before, I never knew what love was for. The also asked how much the car cost. I told them $500,000 JMD. Another company said that they don't even give insurance to anybody with a drivers license less that 2 yrs old.
A female friend of mine (with herpes) said that they also take the cost of the car and the fact that I am 25, unmarried, computer programmer, with a blog, no kids, lots of free time, no steady girlfriend, account on wheels, no house, into account.

Coupled with the fact that 2 serious accidents occurred in Kingston and Ocho Rios recently. The wheelsjamaica people are on a "drive slow" but no body listens. Tamika promised to sell me her 98 civic hatch, bitch car, with sun roof when she gets back - pray for me. For $450,000 with 130,000 miles on the clock, Its green - not a hype color but I guess I could get some stickers and make it look all "fast and the furious". I hope nobody steals it before I get to buy it or nodody steals it during or after I buy it. Debie at General Automotive Insurance says she can get me better deal ($88,000) . Never judge a company by its old website. She could tell from my voice that I'm high. Your bueatiful.

How by the time ATI comes around I'll have a car and be able to make plans for the next one i.e. if I don't crash and die. Surrender my soul. Its a Bitter Sweet Symphony thats life, try make ends meet, your a slave to the money then you die. I have a girlfriend that gets all pissed when I refer to life a series of obvious misfortunes and says that what ever you say "is very powerful". I reply by saying that the Lord works in mysterious ways and you can't go around thinking that your not going to die suddenly. All things come to those who wait. Have a little faith. I am not cynical, I'm objective. I might have pushed her too far - I am sorry.

Currently the Jamaican Dollar JMD is almost $67.00 to $1 USD. :(
