The day the earth moved

well, it it 6.31pm nov29th 2007 and i am liming with friends in Barbados trying to come to grips with the day just pass. let me try to start at the top. the day was festive, a work colleague was celebrating her last day with the bank, amd two more ladies were preparing to leave our department and commence in another department. We went to Chefette Holetown to have a bite to eat, and we had just erturned to work. I went to the lunchroom to converse with friends and s i was leaning on the concrete pillar talking, it moved. yes, i sid the concrete pillar moved, but at the point, i wasnt quite sure what was happening so i paused for a bit. then i leaned onto the pillar again and it moved again. at that point the lunch room went crazy. we exited the lunch room and to our surprise, the office was already exiting the office. it was pandomonia

Part 2 coming soon

Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Worrell

Just need to big up two dear people to me on their new journey together (although some say it's just a continuation of said journey) and wish them years on years of marital bliss. Kayo grew up 2 houses from me in St. James so we basically knew each other all our lives and Laura I met a few years back and holds a special place in my life.

Here's wishing you two all life's blessings.

Twin Of Twins

Don't know how many of you had a chance to listen to Twin of Twins. Two Jamaican based artists who use comedy to highlight issues in the music industry.

You can hear snippettes of their work on YouTube as well as their MySpace page. I would definitely encourage everyone to give it a listen. Warning, these guys are potty mouths, so if you are overly offended by the f-word, you may need to keep a bit of holy water to rinse your ears after.

i think its been long enough that I can start to celebrate ...

... I've quit smoking. Haven't had a cigarette since June1st this year and it's going great. The cravings are gone and everything. I don't feel any better though, and I am still broke but I guess the long term benefits will out-weigh these short term gains.

For those out there who want to quit, here are a few things I did.

1. You must really want to quit. It's not a 'everybody's doing it, so why can't I?'. That approach will never work.
2. Gums, patches and the works are useless. Once again you must decide for yourse;lf and then work towards the goal.
3. I began to reduce my smoking gradually till i was down to 3 - 4 for a weekend and none during the week. It was great when people I work with everyday didn't even know I smoked since I didnt have that slly odour following me around.
4. Nothing is easy. I really stopped in early May but I gave in on the last weekend of the month. It felt like I had failed but I put my mind to it again and stuck with it.

Amazingly, I now can smell that smell people always told me about. Ya know when a smoker comes up to you and you can't concentrate since the smell is overpowering? I guess having been on both sides of the fence I can understand.

Anyway, Mind Over Matter

i got a cold

so i home suffering with a cold again. i aint understand what is up with these colds. and it couldnt come at a worst time. its times like these i actually wish i had remote acess.

anyway, how yall guys going? hope a lot better than me

so my ex-wooman convince me to fill out this questionaire on tickle.com

here is what they had to say

BajanHut, you're single because you don't want to settle

You, more than others, have a fairy tale fantasy of how things should be. Ever since you were a kid, you've probably dreamed of the perfect wedding, coming home to a white picket fence, dog, and 2.2 kids (how does that work, anyway?). When someone asks what you're looking for, you don't skip a beat: You're likely to have a handy checklist that details your perfect partner. Hair and eye color, height, religion, education, career, interests, the list goes on.

While it's great to have standards — Hey, you shouldn't have to settle, after all — there's one slight glitch in your master plan: No one has made the grade in real life — at least not yet. Next time you're out with someone, keep yourself from mentally checking that list, and give love — and others — a chance. That special someone who you've written off may be perfect for you after all...

Virgin Atlantic's Birdman

well it's that time again when perfectly sane people jump off a platform with all sorts of homemade contraptions in the hopes of doing a self powered flight. naturally, as humans were not designed to fly, the majority of them make a rather entertaining drop to the water below.

here are a couple pictures from the 2003 competition

200 students sent home .......

.... and as expected there is a cry from near and far.

All I can say on this is good job Mr. Farley. I find the 'in-thing' these days is to go against rules and regulations and then try to show how harmless it is.

"It's only 1 inch shorter, what's the big deal?"

Well the big deal is that the regulations set down state clearly that it cant be an inch shorter. Yes, I know some things in life need to be challenged from time to time but when you make illegal activity the norm, you are directly contributing to the continued slide in decency in the general community.

Ever realised that red lights at intersections are almost completely ignored? squatters are allowed to continue stealing the usage of other people's property? consumers continue to default on payments to the NHC? and then they shout out for 'the poor man'. is that supposed to make it ok?

all that rambling to say, Farley, good job. Hope other principals follow suit




...... wait, one thing I wish could happen is to throw a fine in the parents too.

wow .. .that was refreshing

so i finally got back out to watch some rallying, and even better i marshalled as well. now i remember why i like it so much. didnt get to see Mark Higgins at all since i dceided to go strate to my post and miss out dark hole. did see the battered corolla on the wrecker tho. from all reports tho, he is really a driver and was easily beating the skin off our local boys. also wanna say congrats to my boy on his debut. ya did what i couldnt. you stuck with the dream through the years of disappointments and now you are where you want to be.

on a side note, i saw a snail out in the bushes the was absolutely huge ...

my grasp of the english language ...

... is not so hot, so now that i remember, let me take this time to warn all my thousands of readers and adoring fans, to worry not about any bad spelling and grammar. if you dont understand i say just ask me to clarify. i dont have time for using the spell checker on every post

TGIF

no not the restaurant. i for one am not into overpriced 'fine dining'. i mean its friday, the end of the work week. tomorrow MCBI (Motoring Club of Barbados Inc) host the Plus Rally of the Sun and Stars. English based rally driver Mark Higgins is on the island to face up against our local boys in Dark Hole and Todds, and the grande finale at the Sir Garfield Sobers Gymnasium. Promises to be a trilla-load of fun. See u there!

Seth the SignMan & take over

so i was wondering for a couple days and i posed it to a couple people, if / when BSnT get swallow up, how does it effect Seth game-plan?? cause really and truly, the company he was seeking justice from will no longer exist. does he continue with the new entity as he did with BSnT? or does his whole campaign become null and void? i going roll it around in my mind some more and let ya know what i come up with

Monday Blues

yeh so another day down, couple thousand more to go. nothing exceptionally exciting happening today. found out what the 'BIG4' means. apparently pricewaterhouse, deloite, kpmg and ernst young is the places to b. if you int in those compaines then you int saying ... nothing at all. any way, another day another post. i feel surprisingly calm :)

oh yeh, thanx Raiser, Kerry and Keisha for stopping by. i promise its going to get more interesting as i get to know how this works.

useless post ... i suspect there will be lots of these

so i am promising not to let the blog suffer the same demise as my website and online community. so i will be updating regularly with interesting news, photos and other misc. stuff. however not now. this simply serves to take up space in my otherwise new and uninteresting (so far) piece of cyber real estate.

p.s. anyone has pork left back from lunch, feel free to send piece over here

i only 1/2 way agree with RPB

RPB this year stated that 'bajans cant see', but i think the real issue is their ability to differentiate between the colours. i not a medical professional, but my research proves it. just sit at any traffic light these days and you will notice that a lot of motorists are having trouble telling green amber and red apart. anyway, since RPB got the ball rolling, maybe we will have some program to deal with these problems with sit ... sorry sight

noobee

this is just a test blog and a hello to everyone. i am new to blogging but i just like to post random bits of stuff and impose my sick twisted opinions on everyone. hope to have some good discussions born out of this
