Tower Of Babel

Yow, yow, yowah! Bwoy, you all must be able to surmise by the greeting at the beginning of this entry that I man inna a wikid mood! Why might you ask……well let’s say I left work feeling pretty irie yesterday. I just had an overall nice day.

To top it off, I had a patient that made me smile. She’s a sweet little elderly lady who is now pushing eighty four. Quite hearty as well…..when I was writing her script and I asked her her age…. I had to pause for a moment and tell her that I wouldn’t put her a day over seventy. I then added that I had much doubt that I would make it to her age because she grew up on a different kinda food to me. I mentioned to her that most of the food I grew up on was synthetic and fulla fertilizer and and all dat shyte! She told me that she agreed with me about the food, but that she saw no reason why a man as nice as I was to her, should not live to a ripe old age. (Big blush) She also went on to mention how young and handsome I looked……..(course, as much as I said tanks and was beaming away, lady could have been jus a beat up her gums….nuh true!? ) Anyhow, frig dat thought. She made me smile and I left work feeling irie.

Came home and ting. Ate dinner…red peas soup (with pig’s tail of course). Not three bad. Spent a fair amount of the evening on the telephone linking mi Portland contact, doing some leg work to ensure that my starting a little private practice in that wonderful parish comes to fruition towards end of this month. Yes, in case you nuh realize, February deh yah. Can you believe?

Anyhow, so much for the little blurb above. Having done the stuff I needed to do in the evening to early night hours, and still in a good mood……not being on call, I started to get a bit bored last night……that place called ’street’ was a beckon me. In case you may be wondering…’street’ is a place with no fixed address.

Shouted a bredrin, who it turns out was having the same feelings. So, he was game for an outing as long as I would drive and we would not stay out too late. Yup, there is work today. Headed out at minutes to ten. I must say that this is where the title of ‘no license’ (I hope it spell right) comes in. Had two VX and coconut water at mi bredrin’s yard. Now peeps, it seems that the Mayor of City Kingston has been dropping some serious licks in some people’s place of business….all in trying to get people to conform…which I can’t say I have a problem with. It seems that many a popular night spot in town have been operating sans spirit licenses…..and Mr. Mayor naw have it. So, rude bwoy has been locking them down. Some of the more well known casualties include Caesar’s, Coco Loco (newish spot…..), Carlo’s Cafe and others. I understand that nuff man dat frequent some of these night spots a cuss whole heap a claat! Cause dem night time activities have now been curtailed or reduced to having a few at the yard while watching some TV or DVDs! Anyhow, let’s hope that the owners of these places will do what they need to and comply. On the other hand, Mr. Mayor better watch out as the wrath of some of these business people might just hol him. Anyone from yard might be able to understand what I mean. It nuh tek much for a man fe waan duss out a man inna Ja!

So, you mussi wondering where me and mi bredrin ended up? I told you…we went street. And all I can say is we had un noche bueno! I am off to work with renewed vitality today. I wonder which patient will make my day today? Mas tarde mi amigos!
