Yallo…
Hey everybody, I’m still around….still tired though. Anyway, I am glad to report that the heap of activity for March has now come to an end and I am happy that that is so. In addition, all the stuff turned out fine. This weekend gone, was a busy one also, with little time for R & R. Saturday I drove to Portland. The practice was still slow and I have decided that I will give it a total of six months to pick up. If not, then I will trash it and consider other options. Anyway, after the practice, I decided that I was going to try out lunch at the Port Antonio Marina before heading back to town. So, Jamdown Canadian who followed me for the drive, and I headed to Norma’s Beach Bar and Grill. When we found the spot, suddenly I felt as if I was on a holiday. Very nice setting….right on the white sand edge with the blue waters of the harbour. A Red Stripe was in order. Only thing missing was the sight of some skimpily clad ladies swimming! There is a sign posted there……”No swimming allowed.” 
Anyhow, while sipping the cold beers we pripsed the menu and both wanted a bowl of the red peas soup as starters. It arrived in some very angular shaped bowls….very nicely presented. And, the flavour was good too. Main course we both had was steamed butterfish with veggies…okra, carrot and cho cho. Again, very nice. I can recommend it highly, and shall go back on my next trip there. It is not a cheap lunch, but what the hell, sometimes man haffi live a little.
On a different note, I have now come to the conclusion that Income Tax is a mofo….then again, maybe I knew that long ago, but trus me. This month salary wasn’t bad at all….see I did two weekends of duty in February, and I am now being paid at a higher rate for duty than before, due to the promo I got. Ra$$…..when I saw the amount of deductions….I was not a happy camper….when I consider that if I could have saved even half that….. Anyhow, nutten I can do about it, the take home was still pretty good….just seems that nuff of the increase in pay is going into more tax.
What else a gwaan? I guess some of you may have heard about the murder of Ambassador Peter King at his home last week? Found naked in his bed…essentially mutilated……I understand that even his privates were cut off and stuffed into his mouth! 
Yes, he was gay and from what folks knew of him…seems he really was into deviant stuff. Apparently the investigations have discovered videotapes of all sorts of weird action that he had at home…action in which he was evidently involved. People are talking about it all over. Really awful. Nobody should have to go that way…but I guess there are people all round who are into all sorts of weird action in order to have themselves a good time sexually. The picking up of young boys off the street tho…..sigh. Enough said.
Weatherwise, the temperature here fell again last night…we having a cold front. It well chilly and greyish this morning…does not make one feel like jumping up and going to work…..but, sitting here and typing about it won’t change it. So, off I go to do what needs to be done. Hol tite.
March 27th, 2006 at 8:08 am You people with salaries are so lucky. But then, I nah fuss, I have no tax. The Peter King killing was awful. And sinister at the same time.
March 27th, 2006 at 8:40 am didnt realize that the peter king thing was so gruesome just heard he was dead. wow red pea soup? I man could use some of that right now.
March 27th, 2006 at 11:43 am Glad tuh see that yuh cud surface and breathe again Doc. So tell muh who is dis Ambassador King and wha kinda business he did invlolve in dat he had to go in dem curel kinda ways? I saw a piece on the Travel Channel about J’ca yesterday and was quite impressed. The country got lots to offer.
March 27th, 2006 at 3:59 pm Ri, you’re a lawyer…your potential income is quite impressive…it makes what a salaried man like miself earns look like lunch money to rahtid! And yes, y’all living in turtle country are tax free…. Camp…I doh know much about dis King stroy apart from that he was well known to be gay, but it seems he was really deviant…despite that, nobody should have to be so brutally murdered. Seems that many of the in the closet gays are now fretting that they may lose their cover when these videotapes are viewed….yesterday’s Herald headline read…”Homos edgy….Ambassador King’s videotapes could damage careers”
March 27th, 2006 at 6:24 pm Yeah that was so gruesome.Is it related to his sexuality or political? How old was he though?
March 27th, 2006 at 6:54 pm Seems it was related to the sexuality Kami….I think he was about 60.
March 27th, 2006 at 11:01 pm From what is being rumoured some really BIG people are on those tapes. That said, does anyone think those tapes will exist much longer? Dr. D., I didn’t know that particular mutilation detail. How gruesome and vengeful. I can’t imagine what his family must be going through. Bad enough to deal with the death of a loved one. But to have this scandal on top of it must be hell to bear. Me grudge yu bad, yu know. To be out there eating doctor fish in Portland.
March 28th, 2006 at 6:38 am So Doc? What you mean by deviant? Sadistic stuff? Masochistic stuff? What? The people want to know! (At least, Camp, Abeni and Mad Bull want to know!) Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find out all about it and let us know. Hell, maybe the cops will sell his stuff to the pirate DVD people and they will soon be selling DVDs burned from the stash found at Amb. Kings! After all, thats what Leon says they are doing with the phone porn video of the Gibson Relay Deepthroat!
March 28th, 2006 at 7:35 am Here is a short news article about the investigation.
March 28th, 2006 at 7:39 am I heard about the tapes yesterday…..interesting turn of events…sad though.
March 29th, 2006 at 7:01 pm Thanks for the word Doc!
March 30th, 2006 at 5:04 am Isn’t the Marina pretty! I have never heard of Norma’s in P.A. , then again I hardly get to visit my hometown. Don’t even mention the incometax, shit! every month the government takes away more than i can save in 4 months!
March 30th, 2006 at 7:32 am Stunner..if I mentioned what I paid for income tax this month….some are likely to seh me a earn too much money! Check out Norma’s on the Beach…..you won’t be disappointed.
March 30th, 2006 at 8:50 am Things bad wid me when I learn of the swearing ceremony from someone else’s blog.
