Tower Of Babel

How everybody been doing? I am fine despite my absence. I have been doing much more reading than writing, and I must say I am liking it that way. No pressha to post nutten!

I have been intrigued in the last few days by the song of a bird that starts about 5:30 in the mornings, it is soo beautiful…..also sometimes hear it in the evenings if I am home early enough. Have no idea what the bird looks like or its name but it is lovely.

I see Lara resigning…..do I hear some applause? Well, he never was one to get a great rating from me, but then again, neither does cricket do so with me as a sport…… If I not mistaken, a semi final match playing at Sabina on Tuesday…I wonder if there is going to be any hype surrounding it?

Bucked up into a female Doc this week while having lunch. Now girl graduated a year before me, and has been working in jolly ole Henglan for a few years. I did not recognize her. This is a black young woman and the first thing I noticed about her (this is before I found out who she was) was the head of false ‘tall’ hair, the very long false eyelashes, the plastic talons she was sporting as fingernails, and the heavy base of makeup that she had on her face… it looked like a mask. Ugh! I was with a sistren/colleague (Diana) eating and she blurted out in the most deep British accent…..’Hi Diana!’ She went on to tell Diana that she was in Jamaica for a few days as ‘Dad’ wasn’t doing so well, and was in the hospital. So she came to give ‘Mum’ some support…….Eventually, Diana told her that she hoped ‘Dad’ would improve and she continued on her merry way.

After she left Diana asked me if I didn’t know who she was, to which I replied no. She then reminded me who she was and I was in shock.In fact, my reaction was more like, “Rass! A she dat?” I then said, but her nose……that is not the nose I knew her to have, this one is so small and striaght. Diana replied, ‘That’s right! I heard she had a job done on same.’

Bwoy, I doh know….but some of our people just seem to lose it when dem go tek up residence inna farin! As a man, gimme natural feminine beauty any day over weaved hair, plastic nails, loads of make up, augmented udders that look like dem a go buss, etc.

Today is Friday (as if you didn’t know) and I am off call all weekend. Dr. Spanish is also passing thru from Florida, so I going link him tonite and show him around (not that he is any stranger to what a gwaan in Kingston entertainmentwise)…but it has been a while since we had a good bredrin flex. So, with that note, TGIF, have a good weekend and stay safe while doing what you do to enjoy yourself.
