10 Story inna 1

I need a laptop.  This not having a computer thing is really having a negative impact on my connectivity with the outside world!  I mean, I can hardly get to check my emails, post on this wonderful blog, visit my facebook page to do all the cool stuff I do there …. and it’s getting to me

I have learnt that one laptop is not enough for 2 adults to share.  I’ve been sharing a laptop with the BF who comes home too late from work and needs to use the laptop too for business.  So, what’s a girl to do?  I’ve found the laptop I want (I think … can’t make up my mind).  I wanted to go HP. Found an ACER that is good too.  A friend of mine recommended an ASUS Eee PC which I have never heard of, but he was pleased to tell me that they revolutionized the mini notebook long before HP and Dell and the rest of the better known brands.  Personally, I prefer to go with a brand that is known and trusted than another.  Anyone have any suggestions for CD?  I’m desperate.  I have a budget of US$400 – $450.

Anyhow, this is the reason for lack of more regular posts along with me getting back to my regular lifestyle (almost) since my surgery 2 months ago!

What else?  My birthday was Thursday last, and I had a wonderful day.  Didn’t do much other than going to work and looking fabulous!  Dress to kill!  I got compliments all day from colleagues and strangers alike!  It did a lot for my ego to know that even though I’m a year older, I’m still looking hot!  I  have a lot to be thankful for and send praises up to God every day for my blessings.

Who has been watching American Idol?  It has been so exciting and I can’t wait for Tuesday when the last 2 finalists, Kris Allen and my pick to win it, Adam Lambert will face off in the finals!  It has been so exciting these last few weeks, that I can hardly wait for Tuesday nights to come to see the performances!  Adam has been rockin’, literally, every a week, never disappointing!  He is awesome!  I know he’s gonna win it.  He is already a star!  All this American Idol watching has got me thinking about my dream to enter rising stars and still haven’t done it yet.  I don’t know if I can take on all that it will require to be a contestant, the time, the late nights, the travelling … nuh tink mi can manage it now at all!

I’ve been spending a lot of time parting “fights” between my soon to be 2 yr old and my soon to be 3 yr old!  They are going at it every day!  I have a no spanking policy but I admit to giving in to a slap or too this past week!  They are really testy at this age.  I pray every night for more patience to get through this phase with all my hair still in tact and no spankings!

My children’s day are had Career Day yesterday and my son went as his career choice since he was 1 yr old = an astronaut, and my daughter went as a pediatrician!  It was a lot of fun to dress them up.  I got special suits made for them at this little costume store on Camp Road.  They were quite reasonable in price as well.

On another note, someone sent me an email with this cool video on youtube.  Enjoy!  , Hopefully I’ll get my laptop by this time next month.  Until then, may only be able to post on Sundays!

Still Around

Hey,

I’m still around, back at work and very busy but I’ll post soon.

Take care everyone.

I Can’t Believe She’s Gone

I received the tragic news on Sunday, March 29th that my best friend while I was in college passed away.  This experience is so surreal because, it was just last Friday I was talking to one of our mutual friends about her.

We met in 1996 in my 2nd year at Utech and we became fast friends.  It was not long before we were inseparable, you would never see one of us without the other, and were pronounced as “twins” by those who knew us, not because we looked alike but because of how close we were.

Since I found out about her passing, I have been thinking about her life before I met her, her life while we were still friends, the betrayal of trust in our friendship, just about everything that I could remember about her.

I’m overcome with sadness, but the tears were no where to be seen.  The churning in the depths of my stomach, Too much to bear, too much to comprehend, The questioning mind, the wandering thoughts of why, Left unanswered, until we meet again.  The life of one so different, so unique, so twisted.  Yet, there was happiness, or was there?   I wish I could see …  I wish I could float to that serene place where she is to let her know that even though there was so much distance between us, she was still in my heart, always.

We used to write a lot of poems.  She expressed her feelings best that way.   This is the last piece she shared with me, on March 1, 2006 written in 2005.

D-Tach

Cause I’m a lone ranger,

I wanna cry all day & night,

I wanna bury myself,

in delight…..

Cause I’m a lone ranger,

I wanna forget I was ever born,

I wanna forget about the morn,

I want night,

forever,

the darkness,

always to remain….

My Thought for Today widget is in honour of my friend, ironically received on the day she died.

Rest In Peace Lisa.  I love you dearly and I’ll miss you.  You will hardly be forgotten by the world, with that captivating smile, that annoying yet heart warming laugh and just the amazing wonder of YOU.

Walk Down Memory Lane

It is amazing some of the things you remember from your high school days. I remember …

Going to the Student’s Council convention held in Mandeville if memory serves me right when I was about 16 years old.  At the Student’s Council Convention there are several activities including the election of executive members to serve for the following year.  I can say without apology that the elections was the last thing on most people’s mind who went to the convention … EVERYONE was there to attend the party, shin-dig, session, dance that is held on the Saturday night (convention was usually over a weekend).

CD was no different as I saw this as an opportunity to hook up with some guy who had similar interests as me, not bad looking, had a good body and could hold a decent conversation for at least 10 minutes (oh how our priorities were screwed up back then).

Ok, so the night of the dance … the pressure of choosing the perfect outfit that would accentuate your ass and breasts in an attempt to attract the opposite sex.  I remember my outfit like it was yesterday.  It was a pallaza pants suite with a chiffon top that would not only accentuate my voluptuous D cup breasts, but would also give a sneak peek into the other delicious flesh that lied beneath.  The pants too, as I had a big but, look nice and round and plump and ready for the grabbing.

CD didn’t hold back on the dance floor, dancing to her favourite tunes as if there was no tomorrow, flinging it up, bubbling and wining like a dancing queen.  Yes, the the vultures started to circle to get a better view of my ass bobbing up and down and my breasts jiggling while I shook my chest to whatever song was playing at the time.  I got some attention, one particular guy, Raleigh*, started dancing with me, we grinded our hips together, I made him dance with me from behind … and we had a blast.

Then comes the slow dance, the love songs, the time when anybody who had already hooked up at the convention would find that person to snuggle and cuddle and dance with.  I had Raleigh and so we snuggled together dancing to whatever love song was playing and we moved slowly, trying to match each other’s rhythm …

… and then it happened … I felt what I had been waiting for (I think), his hands slowing moving along my ass, then to my hips, then to my side, then under my blouse (OMG, he’s going for a feelskie), then to my breast and then cupping.  Oh yes, CD had hooked up with a guy who she didn’t know which school he was representing, if he had a girlfriend or know his last name … Oh well, who cared, I was there to have fun and fun was what I was having.  After a couple songs and a couple more squeezes, he made and attempt to … KISS ME!!! I was like what the fuck?  Who does this guy think he is?  Trying to kiss me …??? So because he had his hand all over my breasts for a grand total of 10 minutes he feels that gives him the right to a lip lock with my soft, sweet lips????

Hell no!  Out a order!

CD and TV Land

Yesterday proved to be a very interesting day on TV for 2 reasons …

The 1st of 2 semi final matches of School’s Challenge Quiz was played yesterday between Ardenne and Titchfield High School.  I am so impressed with Titchfield’s performance this year!  I don’t know much statistics on the past SCQ tournaments, but I don’t recall Titchfield ever making it this far in the competition.  Today will also see another interesting semi final match as the arrogant, obnoxious, greatest thing since condensed milk  (I hate them!!!) Kingston College going up against the great Wolmers Boys School.  This is a match that should not be missed.  Needless to say that I’m fully behind Wolmers as I never support KC in anything, nothing, nada.

Another interesting tidbit about the competition this year and one of the finalists, Ardenne, is that the team is all female … and Ardenne is a co-ed school.  Usually, you find the male species dominating in these arenas as it gives them and their super-large egos the opportunity to showcase their talent and high level of intelligence.  The girls have been on form though, beating Titchfield 55 to 31 yesterday.

So, either way, the finals will be a battle of the sexes … and no doubt the match will be nail biting and as they always say, be a ding dong battle to the end.  GO ARDENNE!

On another note, I think I have finally made my official choice for winning American Idol Season 8 … ADAM LAMBERT ALL THE WAY! The guy has got it going on! He is hot – blazing the stage with every performance – displaying his enormous talent in range, pitch – cleaning up real nice in a suit, with his hair slicked back and no nail polish … hot!!

Last night the contestants performed Motown hits under the mentorship of Smokey Robinson, one of Motown’s most successful artists.  Berry Gordy, the founder of Motown was also at last night’s performance.  The competition is really stiff as it usually is at this stage of the competition.  For me, the worst performances were Megan Joy, Michael Sarver and Danny Gokey.  I suspect these may be in the bottom 3 tonight.

Wow!  What a day in TV land!

Inspiration from Stunner

With a little inspiration from Stunner’s Afflictions, here are some pics from a trip to a farm in the Bog Walk community of St. Catherine.

And the grande cute finale …

Akmed the dead Terrorist

This very hilarious video was just brought to my attention.  I found it quite funny.  Hope you will too!

Desiderata

I often reflect on the Desiderata for inspiration and rejuvenation when I’m not able to afford to get a lovely Spa massage and facial … it is a heartfelt rendition that sums up the spirit of what life should really be all about.

Here’s to the beginning of another week … let us strive to always be happy!

– written by Max Ehrmann in the 1920s –

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
