Text messages….
Yow peeps…my on top o de world mood continues. Yesterday, man was all a sing while doing a proceedure with a patient…who at the end of it told me I should think of trying Karyoke! 
I doubt that still. Rahtid, isn’t it nice when things jus seem to work out well for you and those in your immediate environs? So yeah, me still feeling arite.
Last night, I hosted a little meeting with some of the rude bwoys that I used to attend high school with here at the yard. You might ask why? ‘Cause we are making plans for the 25th anniversary reunion of our leaving school. (Can you imagine is 25 years ago me lef 5th Form to rass!? 
) We decided to use the occasion to have New Year drinks, tell some slack joke and cuss bad wud as is the usual code of ethics when men gather to share spirit with their bredrins. All was going well…in fact the actual meeting started later than planned as the ribbing, joke telling, drinking etc. took precedence. OK, I think all of us who meet regularly in this crew consider oursleves akin to brothers. We are bound by the years of friendship that we shared in school. No apologies there. Unfortunately Mad Bull tek up himself gone go live a Cayman, or rude yute would have been here last night as well.
Wait, onoo wondering what the title ‘Text Message’ haffi do wid the post? Well, jus hol on nuh…me soon let it off…after all….I cyaan jus done the post in two minute like a man who nuh get nuh loving for eons and over before him even start! 
Well, you should know by now that I am no biggie when it comes to things of a technical nature….so the text message here does not apply to me at all. While we were having the meeting……we heard a little ‘beep’…..one of the man dem got a text on him phone. So, he pauses to check it. Initially he thought it may have been his wife wondering why he hadn’t reached home yet. All of a sudden, yute buss out……”Bloodcleat!” And he starts a hearty laugh. He then proceeds to share the text message with us……..”Were you at the Jazz Festival? I am asking because I’m now pregnant!” 
Now, our bwoy claims he did not go to the Jazz Festival……of course, with the usual ribbing dat was a gwaan…we never believed him and started to tell him that him mus fess up and tek on him responsibility.
I tell you, seems like some lass out there got into trouble at Jazz Festival and now a look a Father for the result of her activities. If any of you dudes fit into this profile……went Jazz Festival, and did gwaan wid tings…..maybe is you. Careful still, jackets being delivered aplenty me hear!
That’s my little piece today. It well overcast this morning…I wonder if we may hol some rain…it woulda nice cause the place well dry now. Later, you hear?
February 2nd, 2006 at 8:38 am Bwoy Doc the message them start early….Jazz Festival was only a week ago and them start send out baby message already?
February 2nd, 2006 at 1:36 pm Maybe the the preliminary heats of preparing for baby motherhood were at New Years, and a likkle extra was added at the Jazz Festival. Now the lady really fat up. No doubt.
February 2nd, 2006 at 1:37 pm Agreed Scratch and Ri! Dat mussi some well early detection….but methinks that bambino did inna de belly before Jazz festival….hence me telling whoever fe mek sure that is not jacket him hol!
February 2nd, 2006 at 4:08 pm My sentiments also regarding baby was in belly long before Jazz festival-or else dem is some dangerous rocket fuel propelled sperm.
February 2nd, 2006 at 6:00 pm Dr. D, Methinks somebody playing a joke on your friend, you hear. Plus, no man has to wear a jacket he doesn’t want to wear in this the era of DNA testing.
February 2nd, 2006 at 7:52 pm Interesting… for a second, my pulse was racing, and then I remembered, “You weren’t there, you only WISH you had gone to JazzFest! Ah nuh yuh!”
February 2nd, 2006 at 8:03 pm Pauline, you right about that DNA testing. Actually, in retrospect we feel is a wrong numba thing or someone jus idle…sorta like them fool e-mails about you being heir to a fortune of some Prince from Gahna and all one needs to do is send your bank account number….
February 2nd, 2006 at 10:14 pm Mi hear bout Carnival baby before, but Jazz Festival baby is a new one!
February 3rd, 2006 at 5:44 am They had a text message making the rounds here.It says “Somebody you been messing with test positive for HIV-am glad I used Geico”.My friend say her heart neearly stop when she read the first bit-lol people making joke with serious thing
February 3rd, 2006 at 7:10 am People have been using texts to stalk people and start relationships. I had one recently who sent me a “Please Call Me”, I thought it was someone else, called back, turned out it wasn’t me he needed (mixed up 2 #s he said) but since then, him nuh stop text mi how mi sound nice and him want to meet mi! Another girlfriend of mine told me a similar thing happened to her too!
February 3rd, 2006 at 7:41 am Well CD, I have received the “Please call me texts” as well…me nuh reply to them….. Kami…that HIV one is evil!
February 3rd, 2006 at 1:41 pm Hahahah that is the worst text on earth to receive. I like you think that we may have to begin practicing the ’slow singing and flower bringing” for Shotta
February 4th, 2006 at 10:15 am HAHAHAHA maybe is de wrong person she text? But how she find out so soon though, if the jazz festival was only when…last weekend…?
