Tower Of Babel

Alright, I have finally mustered up the energy to write something down. Let’s start with the weekend just passed which wasn’t bad at all.

Saturday morning to early afternoon I took ‘een the rest of the Olympic Track and Field events and then just as I was about to head to the supermarket at about 3:30 PM, a peice of heavy rain and lightening started. Anyway, it eventually lulled down in time for me to go buy some food etc.

When I got home, my cousin Legal Aid called to say that he was cooking Chinese food and that I was to come. So, that solved the problem of dinner as I wasn’t in the mood to cook myself. Now Legal Aid said 6:30 PM. I called his home at 7 (I know him well), only to have his wife Eye Doc tell me that he hadn’t arrived from the supermarket as yet! Anyway, I arrived there at 8:15 and there was frozen meat still in the styrofoam package from the supermarket. Needless to say, we ate at about 10:15 PM, but the food wasn’t bad at all. Having had three VXs before eating, I started to doze off after filling my gut! Got home just after midnight and hit the bed. You want to hear about Sunday?

Sunday was spent at the Kingston Polo Club. No, I did not play polo. There was a little fun day out there that I attended. Nice food…curry goat, roast pork and barbecued chicken with salad and rice and peas. Liquor galore. (Need I say I went a bit overboard?) Now, I wasn’t drunk…I don’t get drunk, but I was a little bit more than mellow! Yamfoot will be quite thrilled to hear that I actually took part in a scrimmage CRICKET match!!! Can you imagine…it must be about twenty five years that I haven’t held a cricket ball. And, I managed to bowl a man out with a LBW!! Gwaan Doc!

You see, one of the reasons why me and the cricket nuh too keep company, dates back to my teens. One summer back when, we were playing cricket over at my neighbour. I was fielding and the batsman (whose identity slips me now) licked the ball for what could easily be six. I managed to stop it. Rather painfully however. My family jewels felt as if they had been ripped from my groin and I fell to the ground hardly able to breathe for about five minutes. That was the day I said, no way sah. Not me. Well, until yesterday.

One would have thought I would have learned from prior experience though….as a grown man now, I still had no ’seed guard’ on yesterday. Anyway, there were no licks in sensitive areas. I made it home at about 7PM. Ate again and tried to write a blog post about the weekend. Evidently, I was still unda juice. Me nuh delete the damn post! Being too tiyad to write it again, I just wrote a likkle scribble, and went mi bed.

Today has been pretty routine so far. A little suppem has happened that has me a bit pissed, but after chatting to a few people and knowing what I need to do, I hope something can work out.

That is about it from me for now…..rather long and not really saying nutten, nuh true? Cho, a jus life still. What a gwaan inna your corners?
