Swine Flu

I dont even know where to start with this, the safest and tastiest offering from the lower levels of the food chain now has 'the flu'. I wish I could doctor them myself and make them all better so we could bake them, or fry, or pickle as we see fit. But now we seem to be faced with a pandemic (prevalent throughout an entire country, continent, or the whole world; epidemic over a large area), oh the horror, the pain.

but seriously though, do you ever wonder where these diseases come from? AIDS, Bird Flu, Mad Com disease, cancer, Alzheimer and now Swine Flu. Is it that it was there all along and only recently manifested itself? or were we always dying from it but just werent able to identify it. Either way, I need to hear from Minister o Health AND the Pig Farmers Assoc, before I eat anymore pork, well except the bit that in the fridge all now. That safe, it needs to be :(

South Coast LightHouse

Went for a drive with the family today and ended up down Atlantic Shores. So
I grabbed this same time. Thinking of going back next week to really overdo
it. Maybe drag along someone as an additional subject.

University - Then n Now

I know for a fact now that I am getting old. It's not just these damn grey hairs popping up from time to time or the fact that I cant bunny hop my bike no more, but my attitude to so many things are changing. Recently I have made a U-turn on my thoughts on a university education. Three things happened simultaneously recently in my life to change my thinking

1. I decided to pursue my Masters degree. Why? Well I have an associate degree which I value, but a bachelors which i am not necessarily proud of. It's not that I didnt work hard to get it but it's just that I realised it wasnt my passion when I was almost complete. However I pushed through and completed. So now I want to get back in, (I take back all the bad things I ever said about UWI) it's amazing to think I would voluntarily go back.

2. Had the previlige of helping quite a few persons with an assignment and I realised that they didnt care how they did it, but the main goal was to pass by any means necessary. I remember when I was on campus hearing stories of people offereing sexual favours in exchange for passes and I always ignored it because I thought my hard work would pay off. Ya know what? It doesnt. It's a dog eat dog world, and I now find myself furious at the thought of people who cheat, lie, steal to get their degrees and then come into the work world useless but at an advantage nevertheless.

3. One of the advantages (and disadvantages) of working in a large organisation is the oppurtunity to meet persons of different nationalities, races, religions, ethinic backgrounds etc. I recently was required to work closely with a guy out of 'the big city' and we talked about work and school and the struggles of growing up. It's often easy to stereotype, but the only way to grow out of that mindset is to emerse oneself in the unknown. Now, I hav an appreciation for others that dont look like me or dont share the same background. Ya know, we are all pretty similar.

so what's the purpose of all that above? who knows?!?!?! I pretty sure I had a conclusion but i fuhget, another sign of the age ... lol

Daggering on MYTv

So CBC has attempted to put on a discussion program on 'Daggering', the new dance craze, well at least the new name. However I have a few issues with this:

1. Why are we so hypocritical? We got blatant sexual lyrics, degrading to women in soca, RnB, alternative ... Pretty much every genre but we don't make a big song and dance about it?

2. Why these so called discussions always have straight laced academics that scared to say the word penis in public and obviously have a stereotype built on persons with children as misfits and failures? Where is the balance?

3. Who gives people the right to start talking about licensing artists expression by prohibiting them to even record and perform their material to a willing audience? That is a really slippery slope there.

As much as I think modern dancehall AND soca AND RnB Is for the most part garbage, I would not want to start thinking about outright bans in private settings. On the radio? Fine, but clubs, studios no. I mean, what next? I can't listen to speed metal? I can't worship Budha? I can't conduct a same sex relation? I can't drink rum? Who decides what is right, damaging to societal ideals?

Anybody wha this is??

Not for the youngsters, this is way before iPods and PSPs, its a spinner (not necessarily the official name). We used to play with these for hours, fight them and see who could pop them first.

Memories ....

more sparrows

Well I decided to go for the telephoto lens attachment, so hopefully I'll
soon be even closer to the action.

Don't Jump!!!

NOOOOooooo.......

New way to make aggregate?

Lil Rick like he was on to something big when he wrote 'Mash Up and Buy
Back', because the concept has been adopted in all areas of society. I am no
road builder so I can't say for sure if this is purpose work but why would
you lay down curb to dig it back up? All through Warrens a whole set of curb
is (or was) being dug up and it wasn't down a month proper yet. I only
remember to walk with my camera yesterday so I got this bit by Jackson
roundabout but it's not limited to here. Simpsons roundabout and heading up
towards the north, suffered similarly. Would love to know who is paying for
this.

What a way to weekend

Camping is one sure way to relax the days away. Fresh air, beautiful landscapes, good food (got to big up KJ on the pickled pigtails) and good friends made for a great overnight in Barclays Park east coast. Only prob now is the rain is down for the last couple hours and my tent seems to be springing a leak. Lol
