Some Labrish
Am sitting here sipping on a nice, ice-cold Heineken and browsing some blogs after going to the supermarket and then to nyam some irie Chiney food at Canton Restaurant in the Strand.
Bwoy, have you people been reading the Humanity Critic recently? That brother is good, you know! Here is a link to where he was telling his views on “Blind Dates“. Actually, I am not sure if I have ever been on a blind date. I don’t think I have! Is that wierd or wha’? You tell me! How many of you have been on blind dates? Is that like an ordinary thing or not?
I got an email from a gentleman who’s been reading my blog… apparently he has a blog and he lives here in the Cayman Islands too.
Its nice to find another blogger down here with me. He is at Cayman Time, why don’t you all go check his site out and leave him some comments and ting?
He also pointed out to me that the movie theatre is due to re-open next month! This is big news, since MBJr. is dying to go catch movies there… Watching DVDs is irie and ting, but sometimes you just wanna chill at the theatre with your honey and catch the movie there, you know? So, I told MBJr. and he said “I just hope another hurricane doesn’t come and mash it up again!”. See, hes thinking like everybody else here on this rock, nuh true? Everybody here is praying that the hurricanes for this season give us a wide berth!
Actually, during the movie theatre-less period, Natty and I used to say that we should link up with the people at Palace Amusement and set up a thing where we run the theatre here and get movies from them… well, guess who’s gonna be running the movie theatre here now? Nuh the Grahams from Palace Amusement, rasta!
Bwoy, some of the time, we get some good ideas but we don’t act on them! Then we feel a bit weird when someone else comes along and follows through on an idea we had and makes a success of it. I guess we’re just going to have to take the risk ourselves on one of these ideas or we might end up as some bitter old people, always remonstrating with ourselves about the chances missed. “If onlywe had done this” or “If only we had done that”, you know?
As A yute at work says, “the only risk is not taking a risk?” or as the Jamaica Lotto people say “If you don’t have a ticket, you can’t win!”.
Incidentally, I heard on the news yesterday that the Drug Task Force ran a pre-dawn raid in the Daisy Avenue area of West Bay and they held four youngsters with some weed and an AK47!!! “Bumbo claat!”, said I to Natty. “It looks like things might just be getting serious over here!”. Thats one of the things I thought we’d left behind back a’ Yard! ![]()
Heineken??? Hmmm…since when you start drink dat? Anyway, an ice cold beer of any type is irie when the time hot.
I had no idea that the theatre there was closed. Guess it mussi did mash up.
I wish hurricanes were a thing of the past…they frighten the shyte outta me and simply cause too much disruption to life after dem gaan! Or they should forever stay out at sea ’till dissipate.
Crime rearing its ugly head all over….but things are relative. Some places till better off than others. Good they made the raid…wonder if they were acting on a tip off?
I went on a blind date before and it was actually good.But it can be a bit of a lottery so you just go with a very open mind
its, “if you dont have a ticket, you dont have a chance.” Stop spread false information bout Jamaican ting to ppl
Hi Mad Bull-No movie theatre? Howmany movie theatres are on Cayman? I’ve been on two blind dates and on of them set up by my mother. Mek me tell yu-doan ever make your parents set up a blind date. It was hilarious. She invited this Chinie fellow from China to our house for dinner and when I asked her what he looked like she said “well” - now as soon as she started her answer with “well” I knew I was in trouble. “Well, he’s sort of good looking”. I said “what do you mean by sort of good looking”. Come to find out he wasn’t my type. Nice fellow but by no means in the good looking category.
No blind dates oh wait there was the one time my boy dragged me along to the movies and this girl he knew just sort of showed up and he kept mentioning that she liked me or and there was that one time in montreal with the girl with the moustache. uhhhh, ok now i remember why i block these things from my memory.
oh and i read humanity critics stuff too pretty funny
I would only go on a blind date if it is a good friend that set me up. No puss in boots for me, if I can help it.
I would actually be equally as concerned with what he was like, as with whether he would be attracted to me!.
Re the theatre, when you have, you just keep on getting. I guess you have ot be bold to own businesses and I just not that bold.
I have been on about 8 blind dates…all but 2 were disasterous!
Never again!
