I trumped an opportunity to make a speech for a dear friend on friday. Yet Again. I always avoid speeches at going away parties, funerals, weddings etc. Its not that I have nothing to say - I'm just not a "on the spot" / "freestyle rapper" person like The Rock, Half Dollar or Harry Potter. Even though by the time I get home I would have thought up totally cool and funny stuff to say in a speech. A speech filled with euphemisms, white girl jokes, STDs and that time when we all got suspended for a week. Memories. But now its too late. The food is gone and the cake uncut. I could have even dropped in a comparison between You, Madonna and Louise Bennet. Or how I totally liked you more when I didn't have to work with you in the same office. It would have been a great speech, I can almost taste it like cheese on a pizza. Crap.
michael_halvorsen commented: i'm not much of an on-the-spot person either. i too, avoid being put on the spot around my peers. but around people i work with or work for, i do just fine. i can be on-the-spot when its about something i truely feel comfortable with, and thats usually my work, not my friends. ... read 9 more
20 cheap cars instead of an expensive one?
RedStrip Beer is having some sort of island wide competition involving the collection of bottle caps. The grand prize is a brand new H2 Hummer - appealling to the "all fi dem self" nature in most of us. Wouldn't it be better to have the prizes be 20 cheap cars instead of just one expensive one?
Sometimes you take somethings for granted. Like a good friend, gravity or little pockets of ketchup. As they say you never miss it until its gone - change is bitch. Playing solo gets more dangerous the further you go. Its no wonder they encourage us to join teams. Teams are easier to keep track of, easier to kill. I have already formulated a solution to this paradox. Everything happens for a reason. It was fun. I am glad I met you. Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end. I formulate it watch I do.
I thought about the new version of this website (5). Right now I think it will be something more like a newspaper with articles, columns, polls and editorials. I will include much of every bodies content. Since you guys obviously post more than I do. Chances are that if I don't write it down I will change my mind by next week. I am pretty confident though - it will be a newspaper. Always in search of the infamous "truly original idea".
I have gotten more and more calculated as the days pass. Totally thinking about taking a break from the internet for a while, I need to clear my head. Move back to the country and find employment on a peanut farm. I love peanuts. I bought the Jamaica Observer on sunday. Usually I would have bought the gleaner but I am feeling good this week. In the song "Dem Belly Full" by Bob Marley, he talks about cost of living getting high aka expensive. That was in 1976.
Every now and again your might find yourself in a war. You had signed up for the army and they are knocking at your door. Obviously your judgement is impaired because you are hung over from the night before. Its human nature, some people just like to fight more than others and become sad when they have nothing to protect. Wars are not good if there is nothing to fight for. But it doesn't matter much now because somebody already showed the finger. The rabbit hole is very deep.
They know where you live and what you buy for lunch on any given sunday. Hiding is useless, either you go to battle or you give up all the privileges which civilization has given on to you and become a street bum. But even then you can't hide the high sperm count and excess energy that youth has given you for such a short time. They will find you. Torture works and you are not beyond it. Its not that bad really, in a couple years the war will be over and you will be back home with a better understanding of the meaning of life. Get a job and leave me alone.
Access to fire arms always has a plus side (as does everything). You could bring home a tank and park it in your drive way. Fire off a few shells on independence day. You haven't lived until you have been shot at a least twice or have been left tied to rock in the desert with a grenade under your head. Movie:Beast. There is a point where where from which you can't go back - it was too late, I am there already. So glad I met you.
