Tower Of Babel

What happening? First off, I must say I miss seeing any new posts for a while at some of my regular reads…kinda mek me disappointed when I link some of my regulars and see nutten new…but I man undastan seh odda pressures interfere wid blogging time…but look forward to new stuff still.

Last night, we had some rains again and this morning is overcast at the moment. Quite cool too.

Anyway, it is no secret, I am in a war with a flu (uncommon occurrence for me)…but as me name docta, I have all my weaponry at hand…so I hope it naw tarry too long.

Went into bed at about 10:30 and into the night found I was a toss and turn…not sleeping peacefully at all…perhaps on account of nasal stuffiness and some coughing…cho shyte! So, realizing that sleep wasn’t coming…..got outta bed and thought of coming here to compi, but thought again and said to myself…turn on the tele! No, not porn at all.

Found a movie on HBO…caught it near the beginning, so I don’t know the title but turned out to be damn good in the end. Story surrounds the lives of two brothers, their mother and the relationships they have with a well to do family in their town. Older brother is a cocksman….dealing with one of the daughters of the well to do family (and plenty odda gyal)…but her Father nuh like him one rass. Think him too poor and ting. Still..dat nuh stop rude yute from dropping nuff strokes any chance him get. Younger brother eventually tries to emulate his older siblings conquests with the ladies…and though he has a few successes, him not nearly as prolific. It is just not ‘him’ at all. He finds he likes the whole business of love and relationships growing. Takes things a bit more slowly.

Eventually finds himslef falling in love with the younger sister of the same family….Anyway, there is more that I could reveal about the show, but just in case any of you decide to watch it, I doh waan frig it up by telling you everything. As I said before, I nuh know the name at all. But well worth a watch IMHO…. it encompasses many human feelings and emotions…love, deceit, forgiveness, revenge, hatred. I must actually tell you that one time I man actually got a bit emotional by the story and though I wasn’t sobbing….the screen of the TV did get blurred. Yeah, no big deal. I am not one o dem man who subscribe the the crap that man nuh have nuh feelings and should not cry….bulls dat! Men are emotional beings as well.

Anyhow, that show took me ’till somewhere after 4 AM and I started watching the next movie when my eyes started to close. Did manage to get in some sleep.

Changing gears a bit…..not sure how many of you plan to be gift giving this Xmas season. Personally, I have a hard core of people that normally get suppem. Most of them females. Bredrins usually easy…most of my yute dem, like myself imbibe lika…so tings well easy…buy dem a lika and all is well….a man thing. But, I plan for this to be a relatively low budget Xmas still….it has been a pretty rough year financially, and man jus done help pay off mortgage…you seeit? But, I will see what can gwaan.

Then, skimming through the Gleaner on line, I came across this article. Made me think…..WTF!! It just goes to show that in a country like this, that is looked upon as ‘Third World’….there are people who live lavishly. I wonder how many Jamdowners can really afford dem tings dem a talk about? Still, though I cyaan afford to buy none o dem things for anyone…..(even a woman who I’da like mek me wife) I doh think that they are necessarily any happier than me and mi peeps who I can sponsor a VX or a modest gift for, just to show seh we cool, and have respec for each odda and ting at Christmas and all year round. Anyhow, with those thoughts, even though I am fluish, mek me go hol a fresh before I hit the trek that takes me up to that place which helps to pay the bills. Have a good day, you hear?
