2008-03-05T18:43:00.000-08:00

When I graduate from high school I decided it was time to leave home,And travel abroad
I book a flight from Trinidad to St.Croix when I arrived on the island it was
in the wee hrs of the morning. The night life was jumping the people were all over the place
there were loud music even at the airport.The taxi-driver's were very hospitable to the foreigners and visitors.
Entering the Island for the first time Was very exciting, There were people every-where
My friends had a taxi-cab waiting to take me to the hotel, After staying at the hotel for the
night I was picked up by my friends the next morning.It was a beautiful day the weather was great, "how" I will always remember that day. My stay on the Island was very relaxing it was like being in Hawaii for the first time or being on some
extended vacation, I traveled to most of the surrounding Island's.
One weekend my friends and I took the sea-plane to the Island of Tortola it was a small island
not much on the island the people were beautiful and friendly there were white sandy Beach's and beautiful flowers. We enjoyed walking on the sandy beach the worm sand felt good under my feet...

Life on the Island Part one 2/27/08

2008-02-27T02:16:00.000-08:00

Growing up on the Island was a good experience
life was very simple back then.
I grew up in a big family there were thirteen of us, There were always lots of laughter
and fun, there were also lots of screaming, yelling, shoving and pushing.
I was always a loner never liked big crowd. When ever they miss me they knew where
to look, I was always sitting high up in a tree reading a book or
any-thing I got my hands on I would get lost in a book and read for hours at a time
and not worry about any-thing else especially my other sib lings yelling and making
lots of noise. I also like to draw and doodle, If I wosnt drawing you would find me
drawing stick people "smile" I just love to draw stick people that was my thing
I also had imaginary friends. And I would play with my imaginary friends and that
was that sometimes my siblings would all stand around quietly and watch me while
I play with my imaginary friends " smile " and they would say oh boy look at her
play with her friends. And I would smile and say that would teach you all a lesson
not to hit on me. I have my own friends I would say to them.

One day while reading a book I saw a coupon in it which I filled out and mailed
the coupon to the company, It was the Peace Core.
I was very excited "but" I did not tell any-one about the coupon until about two week
later when I received a letter in the mail, there were lots of forms for me to fill out.
I was very excited, I took the forms to my mother and she read the forms and
look at me and said. keep on writing away for every -thing you read in books.
They scare me so bad, They said that I was going to be Court Martial and put over a burning
fire I was so scared I never left the house for days..
after quite some time I decided to look into traveling out of that country. To be continued

Songs

2008-02-26T17:49:00.000-08:00

My fathers sit on benches
their flesh counts every plank
deep in their withered flanks.
They nod like broken candles
all waxed and burnt profound
they say "It's understanding
that makes the world go round."
There in those pleated faces
I see the auction block
the chains and slavery's coffles
the whip that lash and stock.
My Fathers speak in voices
that shred my fact and sound
they say "It's our submission
that makes the world go round."
They use the finest cunning
their naked wits and wiles
the lowly Uncle Tomming
and Aunt Jemima 's smiles.
They've laughed to shield their crying
then shuffled through their dreams
and stepped 'n ' fetched a country
to write the blues with screams.
Iunderstand their meaning
it could and did derive
from living on the edge of death
that kept me alive.

Thou shall not steal.

2008-02-26T16:48:00.000-08:00

Yesterday one of my neighbours came and rang my door bell. When I looked through the
key-hole I saw that it was my next door neighbour "So" I let her in, she had a list in her hand
She asked me if I saw any-one hanging around the apartment.
I really did not see any-one @ that time "but" I did see them on my way home from work
that evening, it was about six of them , and they were all looking very suspicious,and they were
all steering @ me I just ignore them and drove on home.
Do you know those kids broke into the neighbour's apartment and stole groceries out of the
refrigerator. They also took some movies and much more.
the neighbours did call the Police "but" they said they needed more evidence,
How can People break into some-one else home and steal their food and all
their personal stuff.
What is this world coming too.
Thou shall not covet thy neighbours goods.

Friends, keep on trying.

2008-02-26T05:32:00.000-08:00

Friends are very important people, Some-times they are even better than your relatives
when others let you down, criticize, or even turn their backs on you,
A good friend is always there to give a helping hand.
A friend once told me "ha" life is short live life to the fullest,
I said live your life in a full but, healthy way.
My friend said what do you mean by healthy way ? I said what ever you do try and be honest and kind , don't cheat and mis-use your power of Authority.
Enjoy the good things that life has too offer , such as good Friends, good health ,
Travel and see the world. These things are a Blessing and thank GOD for that,
You can also try new hobbies, and learn a new skill, or trade, its never too late to learn
new things, such as taking up painting and drawing , learn to swim if you don't know how
don't let life pass you by give it a try.
you may even enjoy it.

Change is coming

2008-02-25T19:48:00.000-08:00

Change is coming some where some how. I don't know when " but" change is coming
for better or worst change is coming, every-thing is out of control
gas is $3.10 some place its $3.08. And the price goes up and up,
Food is over-priced .Milk is $3.29. pr. gallon the price goes up and up kids toys are tinted with lead paint Mercury and more the price goes up
and up Clothing is over priced you wear it twice and it falls apart.
Its being manufactured all over, Except in AMERICA
The price goes up and up.
When is this going to stop The price goes up and up.
AMERICA take back your rein, only then will it end this pain of unemployment
crime, and uncontrolled Foreclosure' s
The price goes up and up, This really has to stop...

Who will help with the children.

2008-02-25T18:58:00.000-08:00

Do you remember the days when things were very simple?
when it was safe to leave doors unlocked.? And no one would bother ,To try and rob you
How about the days when it was safe for the kids to play outdoors and no one would
interfere with your children. Think back too when there were no bickering or fuss
and every-one respected each other, and helped each other out, In those days they said
that it took a neighbourhood to raise a child. every-one looked after each other's kids.
Times have changed and people have different views on parenting
you don't know who to trust with your children any-more.
Some people have become very selfish while others care what happen to the children
Some families don't care about each other any more and that's a shame. people need to
think about the children. They are the the future generation. We all need to help
we cannot stand alone we need to take the time and reach out to the children.
Tell me who will help with the children.

The high cost of Electricy?

2008-02-24T14:14:00.000-08:00

Why are the Electric Company charging so much. ?
why is it that the month of February most of my neighbours
electric bill doubled.? That's a mystery,
When I called up the company they informed me that everyone
in my area was complaining about their electric bills being so high.
I never had a bill over $300. the most we paid was $250.
This month my bill was $544. I think that 's outrageous. we told them
that something was wrong with the way in which the Meters was read
I believe that the meter tech made a mistake
while reading the meter,
and I hope they fix the problem soon , If we don't have the money to pay
the bill they will turn off the electricity, and we will all freeze in the cold.
The Company don't care about their customers all they are intrested in
is being paid and that that.

THE JURNEY

2008-02-17T16:35:00.000-08:00

Everyone is talking about change, what kind of change are they talking about?
Change for the better or change for the worst.
Come on people make up your mind, and make the right decisions you are all being led
or I should say it look and sound like follow the leader.
Wake up America, and make educated decisions who do you want running this country?
Do you want some unknown who think this is some hollywood show.?
I dont think so: use your heads and vote wisely, Get out and vote
vote for the one with more experience. Give the woman a chance she will come through
for all of you She is fighting to turn this Country around from the brink of Depression
give the woman a fighting chance
Let the jurney begin.

My thoughts

2008-02-04T16:40:00.000-08:00

My thought, If everyone new what the other person was thinking
that would be something.
That's why we are so unique and different from the other person.
My thoughts are mine and mine alone. I can think about anything
and no one else would have a clue, as to what I am thinking,
Lets think about good things, happy and cheerful things.and stop worrying
it wont solve the problem. Lets get to the bottom of what is bothering us all
Life is too short to worry over the things that you cannot change.
Start changing the things that you can .Lets make a difference by trying to help
others such as the ones that are unable to help themselves.
Reach out and give someone a helping hand today.

Tax time is here.

2008-02-03T18:56:00.000-08:00

Now that tax time is here, I Hope that everyone took the time
to get things in order. I hope they remember to save all their receipts,
from the stores, and those expensive gas bills.
It is important that we all take the time to file, and to claim our expenses for the entire year.To all the Mother's with young children. Do your taxes wisely and don't short-change
yourself, When having someone file your taxes for you, don't file in a hurry,
take your time and file wisely it's your money and you
deserve it.
Remember that the cost of living has gone up drasticly.
We all need a cost of living raise. Don't we.?

THE WITCH

2008-01-29T16:41:00.000-08:00

Ditch the Witch
Don't sit on her broom, you don't know where or when she'll snap.
She is mean and hostile
It's not worth your while.
Ditch the witch don't sit on her broom.
She is nasty and crazy, hateful and mean, always dirty she is never clean.
She gets angry easily very hard to please, you wont hear her coming.
she is very sneaky and sly always screaming and yelling ready to fight.
Her eyes are like fire her voice is like thunder in the still of the night.
Her scream is like thunder and lightening combined.
Ditch the witch its not worth your while, she is easily agitated, always high on anger and rage
her breath is like a tornado that strikes in the night.
She is like a Cobra ready to strike.
Ditch the Witch don't sit on her broom stand back its not worth your time.

Why ?

2008-01-28T15:26:00.000-08:00

A certain person wondered why
a big strong girl like me
wouldn't keep a job which paid a normal salary.
I took my time to lead her and to read her every page.
Even minimal people can't survive on minimal wage.
A certain person wondered why
I wait all week for you. I didn't have the words to describe just what you do.
I said you had the motion of the ocean in your walk,
and when you solve my riddles you don't have to talk.

The Mind is a terrible thing to waste

2008-01-26T08:57:00.000-08:00

Rely on yourself be independent and strong,believe in pulling yourself up by your boots strap
and not saying i can't do this and i can't do that.
Get out and do the best that you can,we are all creative and are all connected in some way or the other, and that's what makes us so unique.
If you were walking or jugging along the street and you saw someone falling would you give them a helping hand ? or just let them fall.
We are all connected in some way or the other,and should be helpful towards each other
In the work-place don't form a tight clique and leave others out that's not ... without a doubt
invite other's in that's being... and kind,when possible make room for other's spread out and let
them in it would create a breath of fresh air for every one to share in the work place.
Everyone should try to improve their lives ,take some time and learn new things don't be scared
just get out and learn something new .The sky is the limit and that's true you are never too old to learn something new just educate your mind. From me to you.

Oh Me Oh My

2008-01-20T04:24:00.000-08:00

Why did he have too be that way,he cannot sit still, always wining,moaning and groaning
oh me oh my, i heard a loud noise it sound like a gunshot. Then i heard something or someone
scream. Oh me oh my why is he that way i may have to bury him in a shallow grave, I'll wait until it gets dark and then go down to the park and dig a shallow grave
and hope that no one sees me.While digging that grave i got so tired the earth was very dry and
hard.The ground is hard and parched,the grass is dry and turning brown. i am digging that grave and i can hear the sound of the shovel in my ear, my heart is pounding while i am digging faster and faster. Someone is coming, oh no i hope they don't see me its the police and he is running , he ran right pass me and didn't even look at me.
How i missed him dearly, it took half an hour to dig that grave,that shallow grave i waited until it got dark and put him in a garbage bag and buried him in the park while it was very dark.
A stick i took and made a mark at his grave site in that park, and there he was laid to rest beneath a big old tree. He had 2 big green eyes and he was black in color, what a beauty he was and that's why i named him Domino he was my cat and he got run over by a car in the summer.
And that was very sad for all of us.

The Election Primary

2008-01-19T19:16:00.000-08:00

It seams that everyone has forgotten how the economy was when Bill Clinton was in office,if you all have i haven't.America was @ a much better place #1The economy was booming# 2 We were all able to make money in the stock market including myself. Once George Bush took over,things went down hill from there,we all started loosing money in the stock market and he got us into a war that could of been avoided if he had done things differently.
We need someone with experience someone who can negotiate peace in the Middle East and someone who can bring this Country together and not put a division among the people we need someone to bring this Country back from the situation's that we are facing,such as the high unemployment rates,poor health care,Mortgage crisis and the list goes on and on.
Please give Hillary Clinton that chance, and hopefully she will give it her best shot by getting us out of this Recession that we are heading into.Elect the known not the unknown,the time has come and that time is now. you all said that you need change "well" things can change for better or worst Vote for better not worst.

May's mother and father were very strict with their children and they had chores and rules for all the kids to follow, May had one sister her name was Angie and two brothers Tommy and Jessy. There were times when food was scarce and some nights the kids did not have much food on the table,they would have a bowl of soup and corn-bread that's it. At least the children had each other they would run and play and have lots of fun they would even make their own toys,the kids each did their choirs before going too school in the mornings and again in the evening before doing their homework.
After homework it was time to have dinner and get ready for bed. May dreamed of the day when she could get away from the farm and have a good normal life. The farm life was taking its
tole on the young children at night's they would talk among themselves and dream of the day when they would like to go off too college and make a new life for themselves.

I am an out door person i love all that fresh air and all that beautiful flowers those beautiful tropical flowers you can call me a travel fanatic. growing up,on the island of T.dad, with all that natural resources, the island produces natural oil, we have the pitch lake that produces asphalt.
Asphalt is a natural black substance its a form of thick tar that comes out of the ground in the form of a thick rich oil. Asphalt is used too fix the roads they pave the road with the asphalt then they use the tar which comes from the pitch lake too seal the asphalt and make the roads
smooth and safe for the traffic. The government control all the natural resources, such as the oil,asphalt,and the pitch from the pitch lake. The island has beautiful beaches, and lots of citrus fruits, the island is protected by three sister hills they are three mountain's that protect the island from bad weather, such as hurricane's that's why they say its three sister hills reaching to the sky.When I left T.dad, having traveled to the island of St. Crux where I lived for one year before traveling on to the U.S. While residing in the U.S.V.I i traveled to the island and did some extensive traveling to the much smaller and the
surrounding island such as the island of Tortola, St.Thomas Porto Rico and St John.
I enjoy traveling and I hope to do some more traveling in the near future.

Voice of the Uninsured

2008-01-10T19:50:00.000-08:00

Over 43 million Americans are without Health Ins. and the number's are growing daily
telling us to sign up with voice of the uninsured is not enough.
The people need National ins, for all not over priced insurance for the 20% that can afford it we need complete coverage for all not just a few, we are all paying our taxes and each and every one in America legally, needs help with health care. America is one of the richest nation in the world and we have the worst health care system for the American people think about that the people need to come together as one nation and stop talking about this situation in the privacy of their homes. In order for things too change the people need to wont change and they need to come together and stop talking too themselves and start speaking out loud for every one too hear. The Politician's are telling them what they want to hear, don't vote for some-one because he is a good speaker look at the history of that person and take the time too learn something about that person. Don't vote for someone you don't know anything about be careful
when making that decision and get out and cast your vote wisely.

The march of the penguins

2008-01-06T11:32:00.000-08:00

Has anyone ever taken the time to study the march of the penguins? if not you should
take the time to do so, then you will understand what i am about to say.
They act some what like human beings. For instance, they communicate well towards each other, and they do not push and shove when there in line, because they have order among them . They choose their mates carefully and they stay together for eight months. They march for more than seventy miles where they will meet with the male penguins in the freezing cold.
The father,s take over protecting the eggs from the freezing cold ,while the females goes back into the ocean too find food. The male will keep the egg between their belly and their feet for about three months from the freezing cold until the egg hatch.It is a very difficult life for the penguins.
