Thanks to everyone who visited my blog yesterday and wished me a speedy recovery...I think all your support helped as I'm feeling 110% better this morning! Now, many of you have been wondering why in the hell I'd order a pizza when my stomach was killing me, so I'll tell you. See, when I get sick, I have a very strong dislike for food...but once I feel better, I generally tend to have a craving for the first food that I see (anybody else out there have those urges?) whether it be on the telly or in real life; anyhow, the first thing I saw when my appetite came back was a fat Italian fellow eating pasta on some god-awful Mobster meets Yakuza henchman flick! Hence, I had a craving for Italian food, which lead to my subsequent pizza purchase...
Anyhow, is it Carnival as yet? I was driving to work this morning and pulled up by a stoplight next to this bone-white señorita in a late model Camry. She was listening to Will Smith's latest single "Switch". It's a pretty awesome jam still and the dance to it is hot! Y'all needz to check out the music video! OK, now that my gratuitous Fresh Prince plug is over...suddenly, I heard "Cent, 5 Cent, 10 Cent, Dolla!" Yes to R.A.S.S. the girl was playing Dolla Wine by the Taxi Gang I believe? Correct me if I wrong. Well, to rhatid, the Dog did start to "get on bad" inna traffic! After all, I am Jamaican you know, and it don't matter where I am or what I doing, if I hear a song from the Caribbean in this little rural state where I reside, I don't care, I going dance! A hoa!
So, after my little dance thing, I begin to realize that I reaally miss Carnival in Jamaica! Now, I'm not a hardcore type of Carnival-goer still, but I do enjoy my share of the Calypso and Soca that pervades the atmoshphere at around this time (and the fine-looking ladies are definately an added bonus). Oh well, I can't expect to get too much coverage of the events from up here, so I'll just have to rely on the Internet and the kindness of my fellow Jamaican bloggers to keep me posted as to what songs, dances, costumes, and events are the hottest these days--I think I need to find a job that allows me to take my vacation during carnival time so that I may go to yard and enjoy! Or better still, find a job in FL that will afford me the opportunity to be home every few weekends for some well-deserved partying!
Have a great day all!
