| I have this daydream. I can't call it a fantasy because I equate a fantasy with sex, which by the way,I haven't been getting lately :-) , so I'm cranky. So about the daydream...
I'm driving up to the Grand Bazaar intersection in 5 o' clock traffic from the north-bound lane in a black 5-series convertible BMW with the top down. It's hot. I'm playing this self-made mixed cd of some of my favourites through my way-too-amplified speakers ie. dey loud. I stop at the lights -- they just turned red so I have like a 5 minute wait and this big flat-bed truck pulls up amazingly quietly aside me, minus all the diesel fumes (hey it's my daydream). So Santana's "Maria Maria" starts to play and you know how great the bass is on that. It's a beautiful song. Ho Maria Maria She reminds me of a west side story Growing up in Spanish Harlem She’s living the life just like a movie star Ho Maria Maria She fell in love in East L.A. To the sounds of the guitar, yeah, yeah Played by Carlos Santana And out of the truck and some cars on the side jumps these couples in their spanish-styled outfits and they start dancing on the back of the truck!! It is sooo cool. And I just sit in the car taking in the music, bobbing my head and quietly singing along. Maria you know you’re my lover When the wind blows I can feel you Through the weather and even when we’re apart It feels like we’re together The song ends. The lights change and everyone gets back in their vehicles and we drive off to Chakademus's and Half Pint's "Talk"... |

Blogger's got a new layout and this is my first post using it. i just had an open-book marketing midterm and I couldn't answer a question. Could you believe that? Open book. Hey this style might actually be better than the previous blog post page where there was a "post" button and a "post&publish" button which confused my friends when I tried to use a group blog for our projects. Now there's a "preview post" button. Now ain't that much simpler? But just what the hell is Dano? I haven't spoken to Miranda since last Saturday and not only do I miss her but I am worried a little. No emails, nothing. Yuh think she vex bout sump'm? So here are a couple jokes to go. One's a little politically incorrect.
Elephants & Camels...An elephant asks a camel: " Why are your breasts on your back?" "Well" says the camel, "I think that's a strange question from somebody who's dick is on his face." The ArchbishopArchbishop Gilbert rose from his bed one fine February Day. He walked to the window of his bedroom to get a deep breath of the beautiful day outside. He then noticed that there was a jackass lying dead in the middle of his front lawn. Since he lived close to Prime Minister Manning's office, he promptly called him for assistance. The conversation went like this: "Good morning. This is The Honourable Patrick Manning. How might I help you?" "And a good morning to you too, Sir. This is Archbishop Gilbert. Listen, there's a jackass lying dead on my front lawn. Would you be so kind as to send a couple of your people to take care of the matter?" Manning, considering himself to be quite witty and intelligent, replied with a smirk, "Well now Archbishop, I always thought that you people took care of last rites!" There was dead silence on the line for a long moment. Archbishop Gilbert then replied: "Ah yes, that's certainly true, but we are also obliged to notify the next of kin." |

| Why Trinidadians get deported
A Trinidadian man from Penal was offered a job to do landscaping in New York. His new employer arranges for his flight, then calls him and reminds him to bring his tools. So the man packs and heads for NY. Upon arrival at JFK, security asks him to open his bags. As he opens one of the bags, a cutlass falls out. "Why are you coming to America with this for?" asked the officer. The man replies "I come to chop BUSH!!" |

| Football's really driving me crazy lately. I don't think I made any mention of my disgust with the whole Becham saga here as yet. I'm glad that Real won La Liga and all and that Barcelona made it to Europe next season. But what I hate is the fact that Fergie would sell David Beckham. They should have gotten rid of Fergie like they wanted to before. Reminds me of one Basdeo Panday, but that's another blog. David Beckham is a superstar. He draws people to a pitch to see football. His marketing power is huge!! And they sold him to one of their biggest world competitors. Albeit Man Utd are a listed company and all, but he had the potential to bring ticket revenues and sponsorship. He's more of an asset to them than Fergie is. They should allow to him to retire and for his assistant to take over.
Not only that, but Real's released Del Bosque. The man who brought them two Champions League and two La Liga trophies in four years. And they've let Hierro go, and Guti -- one of their better players -- is poised to go too!! My god. What has European football come to! And let's not get started with our own national team... In other news, I've discovered one HOTT local porn star!! |

Ain't life great!! After a whole year of searching, I've done it folks!! I've finally found a new pair of sneakers!!
They're Umbro Collosus'.I bought the black ones in that pic. And that's not even the best part. I paid TT$125 for them in Francis Fashions half price sale!! Can they get any better? I even checked them for defects and there weren't any, although "Made in China" did raise some alarms. I can breathe a sigh of relief now. Twas the same in trying to find a new pair of jeans; spent the better part of a year looking for one of those too. I'm surprised that I didn't buy Nike sneakers; then again, they've been spewing some really ugly shit lately. My nephews and nieces really have some healthy vocal cords, if you know what I mean. Yesterday when they were all at my father's place in South, they just couldn't shut up. One of them had a rather ingenious way of asking for something, or rather demanding it. By screaming very loudly! And they haven't forgotten just how much their favourite uncle loves them to dribble all over him. At least they weren't puking. Then I woulda have to put somebody in de dog kennel. I mixed concrete yesterday too, to my detriment. My shoulders really ache right now, a whole day and a half later. My dad had this little project that he wanted some help with and that involved me mixing and toting concrete in buckets. Have you seen my arms lately? They haven't grown much since I left Naps you know. Infact, they've probably shrunked. |

| It's Friday and I have a class from 4-9 tonight. It's raining again and with the airconditioning on, it's gonna be really freezing. For the last couple Fridays I had to wear my thick Hilfiger sweater plus a jacket over that. Yes, I was that cold. This morning I had to drag myself off my bed to see Call for Help. I usually watch that on mornings and then Dawson's Creek while I'm having breakfast, lunch and cutting my toenails.
I see Stefan [look to the right for a link to his blog] is ranting about how lame it is to be here and complaining about politicians and a certain Muslim. He even used the "n" word. Well I tell you I never used that word or I hardly doubt that I ever spoke about that Muslim in any of my blogs. For good reason too. Go with God Stef. I hope you get to go back to school in August with all your appendages and digits still connected to your body. But why should I be afraid? "Trinidad is my land and of it I am proud and glad..." "Sweet Sweet Trinidad, fuss I love dis country bad, when I dead please bury me in de center of de city..." I'm trying to download Street Fighter vs. X-Men to a computer in the Soc. Sci. Lab. I hope it works. I know that the distinct possibility exists that it won't work since I can't even download the Yahoo! Companion onto the computer. Apparently we're not even supposed to have MSN Messenger on our computers and whoever has it, it's by fluke. Ever heard more shit? I do miss her. And it's only been 4 days...gorm ah startin to sound like Stefan. |

| It rained ALL day today, and I mean all day. Still raining now. Could've just stayed home in my nice cozy bed and slept all day. Nice and warm. Spoke to her today :-) Check out Friendster. Here's another joke:
Why hockey is better than sex It's legal to earn money playing hockey. Many people play hockey even after they're married. The puck's always hard. The protective equipment is reusable. It lasts at least an hour. A two-on-one or a three-on-one is not uncommon. You always know how big the stick is. You can clean your stick in public without anyone minding. You can change players on the fly. You don't have to be embarrassed if you don't get the puck up. Everyone is finished when the buzzer sounds. Your parents cheer when you score. Periods last only 20 minutes. You're sure to get it at least twice a week. You can tell your friends about it afterward. |

| This morning I had noone to tell me stop watching Dawson's Creek. I won't for the next three months.
"My princess goooooooooonne, far far awayeeeeeeee!!!" It's not so bad. It's only the first day. Those months will pass so quickly I keep telling myself. We went to the Nuts Saturday night, and saw podium dancing :-) That was great. I hope I don't start bawling down de place nah. On another note, my registration for next year begins this week. I have one course short of a full year to do cus I'm gonna take up ecommerce. I think that's more relevant to my future. I'm actually going to classes and tutorials. Marketing's cool so far, even though I'm convinced the lecturer is positively gay. I'll leave you with a laugh: Four bajans were sitting around a campfire near the beach. They were"philosophizing" on what was the fastest thing in the world. Harry said, "I tink de fassest ting in the werld is a 'tought', because before you ken tink of it it's already tought." Mildred said, "No, the fassest ting in the werld is a 'blink' because before you ken tink about it you dun blink already." Matilda said, "No, the fassest ting in the werld is lectricity because when you turn dat light switch on de lectricity travels fass-fass and the lights come on before you don know it." Leroy said,"All ayo wrong, the fassest ting in the werld is diarrhea." Everyone asked, "Diarrhea?" Leroy said, "Yea, lass night before I could tink, blink, or turn on de lights, I don shit meh self." |
