Another Caribbean Pageant

I got an email from a guy recently. I didn’t know him or anything, but I guess he had come across my blog posts on beauty pageants and so he wrote me to tell me about a beauty competition right here in the Caribbean that I previously did not know about. It looks to me […]

The Elections Are On Again

Hail up to all crew. You know, in a fit of boredom one afternoon prior to Hurricane Dean coming on the scene, I decided to consult with my second favourite Tarot card reader about the results of the upcoming election. Why with my second favourite one? Well, it really was an issue of availability. My […]

Holding Forth on Hurricanes…

Localized Flooding (water approx 3 ft. deep) causedby Hurricane Dean in Savannah, Grand Cayman
You know, I have been through a number of hurricanes now, I am not even sure how many. They are all bad, but it seems to me that your personal experience of them depends on just how strong they are and on […]

My Obligatory Hurricane Post

Bwoy, I have not focused on international blogging for so long now that I had forgotten that the Bloggies existed! (Yeah, recently I have been reading strictly Caribbean weblogs! Maybe I am trying to […]

Beautiful Endings

You know, this beauty review series doesn’t seem to have been garnering much interest, so I’m going to kill it. It wouldn’t be right to the few fans it has to go without saying who I think will win the Queen of the Caribbean award though, so I will proceed to do just that. People, […]

Giving Thanks for Da Beauties

Whip Them, W.I.

You know, I had a sort of bad dream last night! I wrote this software package years ago with a bredrin who used to work with me in Jamaica. The software tracked funds invested in a ’special’ deposit product set up by a credit union. They took deposits which they invested and paid the credit […]
