Tower Of Babel

……to ra$$!!! That about sums up how I feel right now. Had a hell of a work day today…just spinning like a damn gig from me land dis mawnin. Get to the point where you doh even waan hear anybody call yuh name. Anyway, I survived. Then to top it off, I have little gas. (No, I naw refer to mi belly….there’s always ‘fuel’ there!) Perhaps, I should be a bit more specific in my choice of words and say, I am almost out of petrol. Indeed, if you hadn’t heard before (like myself) the Tanker Drivers decided to strike last evening apparently. Well, yours truly hadn’t got wind (we are talking ’bout gas) of the news ’till it was too late. So, right now, the tank of the cyar (which is the borrows from mi cousin) is hovering near ‘E’! Apparently, the driver man dem decided to return to work this evening. However, dem still a squeeze me where it hurts, cause most o de station still nuh have no gas. Every one I passed on the way home tonight had nada to offer. I on call tonight, and if I need to go….I nuh know it a go happen to rahtid! Anyhow, let me stop lamenting about crosses. We all have them from time to time. Jus haffi gwaan work dem chru…..

Weekend gone started with a Friday Lime at Acropolis. No, I didn’t go to gamble…but if you want to gimme a money to gamble I will tek it…(actually I will probably put it towards cyar purchase!) The Happy Hour is pretty good. The crew drank all of four Qs of VX during the two for one period….. (yes, when me and the bredrin dem deh pon form, we can put it away)….came up to the lovely sum of $1,000 for the lika! For entertainment they had the winners of Rising Stars (suppem dat I nuh follow) performing. Dem name ‘One Third’ nuh? Didn’t sound too bad, but they only took the stage for ’bout thirty minutes. Then they returned to the DJ who wasn’t doing a bad job. Crowd was very young…most o dem sipping Red Bull, RS Lite and Smirnoff Ice. After the three yutes performed, nuff o de yung uns disappeared.

Now somehow I am having a blank….what the eff did I do Saturday? I can’t rightly remember? Oh yeah, Dr. Spanish roped een for the weekend for a wedding, so we did likkle ketching up here at de yard…..been a while since I had a good link with him as he now lives in Florida. Just chatted shyte wid each odda ’till quite late. Basically, when we looked at the clock, decided that he would just crash here at the yard for the rest of the night. He never had any wheels, and I didn’t really feel like drive him back to his parents yard that time of night.

Sunday, ended up at the restaurant at Acropolis again…its called Ambrosia. Decided to check the Sunday Brunch as I wasn’t in a put pot pon fire culinary mood. Good food…whole heap o food to rass….couldn’t try everything. They had salad bar complete wid various cheeses, smoked marlin and cold cuts, fruits, escoveitched snapper, pepper steak, mackerel rundown and ackee and saltfish (I indulged in neither…nuh like dem), pork chops, fricasee chicken, baked ham, steamed calaloo, festival, bammy, boiled green banana. It nuh done…fruit juices, various cakes (of which I was given a sample slice from cheesecake, chocolate cake and pineapple upside down…..to carry take home as I couldn’t hol it!) Speaking of which……some nuh lef in de fridge….going get kill shortly. In summary, there is more than you can eat for the money. Trus me.

Had a likkle family lime Sunday evening and went bed about 1 AM as I was on call the Heroe’s Day.

Already I’m looking forward to Friday ’cause they got more than their fair share of the wages outta me today. Now, I need to go hol a fresh and hope that things remain quiet ’cause the energy level low. That about sums it up for now. Hope tings kriss with y’all…..
