Honourable Usain Bolt

Ok so the Government tentatively plans to honours Usain Bolt with

• Ambassador at Large and accorded with Full Diplomat Status
• Order of Jamaica
• Rename Highway 2000 to Usain Bolt Highway

Ok they say don't scatter roses while I am gone but also mind how yuh pick rose thorns.

Examining them one by one, OK, so "Ambassador at Large", he's already a public showcase for Jamaica and let's just make it official, he can flash his passport and walk through Immigration. Let's make it legit!

OJ Honorable - yikes. Ok so we won't wait till he goes through another Olympics Drugs free, or has gain some more maturity and experience on the world circuit as he builds his professional repertoire? We don't mind the precedence we are setting for other athletes looking on or the effects it may have on those retired mmmmmh. Do you think we felt pressured the Queen will Knight him before we show appreciation of this nature. Is there some other award we could bestow upon St Leo to be safe???

Rename the oh so famous highway 2000, one of PJ Patterson's legacy with the oh so unfortunate Toll increases which I hope the hikes in toll won't be a reflection of Usain Speed if it occurs. What about the Trelawny Stadium? An erected Statue at a round about or monumental place? What about part the newly paved North Coast stretch being worked on like the Mobay to Trelawny stretch?

Ok don't get me wrong the Gentleman deserves alot of praise for his achievements and has inspired many and I definitely gonna get Micah on tracks soon, but are we stopping to think just for a sec here.

Ok so say I what say you?

United another airline to implement additional fees for Overweight passegers

United Airlines becomes the recent air carrier to add fees to passenger whose body structure requires they take up more than one seat space.

The first time I heard of talks of charging persons based on weight I was a bit shock, I guess so it is with some new concepts that come up, but when I review it again as United decision is now in the spotlight, I can see the reasoning behind the decision.

1. The more weight a plane carries, it increases the fuel burn (chi ching $$$)
2. If a passenger takes up two seat space, that loss revenue (chi ching $$$)
3. If a passenger takes up 1 1/2 seat space that infringement on my personal space and less comfortable ride for the adjacent passenger.

Persons in support of the obese passengers who wish these fees be waived suggest the airline should build seats to accommodate larger frame passengers.

The effects of this mean, more spending for airlines to upgrade their planes, and by so doing means u loosing seat space which again in turn means loss of revenue (chi ching $$).
So guess what I say, even if you build special seats, then folks got to pay for the special seat luxury.

So if I am a slim person who wants this special seat made initially for overweight passenger I can get it if I pay the additional money. So what's the big fuss gentle people. Whether we put in bigger seats or u get two seats, someone's going to have to pay for the loss of revenue.

Get use to the fees on our pockets that's coming.

Three truly terrible things to tell

1. a tall tale
Has anyone ever made false statements at you? To have your character under question is an awful experience.
Psalms 109:2, "For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue."
Or has anyone swindled your assets by false statements?
Proverbs 21:6, "The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death."

2. a taunting remark
Has anyone made a rude comment about you or has insulted you? How distasteful and humiliating.
Ephesian 5:4, "Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving"

3. a "tie out" promise
Have you ever been disappointed as your plans were built with the expectation someone will come through for you? How displaced you feel when commitments are not made.
Matthew 5:37, "But let your communication be, Yea, yes; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil".

What's the message being sent Forgiveness or Foolish?

After three weeks from the alleged facial blows to Rihanna, People Magazine reports the two are reunited. It's said that P Diddy arranged or allowed for Chris Brown and Rihanna to make use of his Star island Mansion home in Miami this weekend where Chris Brown was spotted Jet skiing and enjoying himself.

Chris Brown has not been formerly charged but will be arraigned this Thursday but if Rihanna will not be cooperating or pressing charges it's hardly likely the R&B Hip Hop star Brown will be spending time behind bars but between the sheets.

Is this a teenage love hangover? What's the message being sent?

Are we throwing the Black victim card at the table again?

The New York Post has published a cartoon which has drawn Al Sharpton and others indicating the cartoon portrayed by Sean Delonas as inciting racial attacks on President Obama. Although I must confess when I first heard it, because it was coming from Al, I thought was this another black victim card being thrown, but seeing the cartoon I have my eye brows raised a little.

If I am to give Sean Delonas the benefit of the doubt, I am still trying to understand what was going through his mind when he looked at his final product, and decided to bring it to the editors (whom I will save the blog readers time to question). Even the idea of a gruesome ape being shot by it self should have been a turn off even if you are so under a stone and didn't see the implications with the chimp association. As much as Obama didn't write the stimulus bill, you ask the average person today about stimulus bill and Obama comes to mind. People wake up and smell the coffee. This cartoon is ridiculously filled with room for questioning. How could they have missed it.

Younus Khan eyes Brian Lara's record

West Indian fans are wondering if they will get up to hear the Prince's record has been broken and by whom, No not Ricky Point, no not Sachin Tendukar, no not Matthew Hayden, ok let's drop in a West Indian, no not Chris Gayle but by Pakistani Younus Khan.
Yep this came from nowhere. It seems that after preparing what I'll call a concrete based pitch, this batsman paradise at Karachi has totaled a whopping one thousand two hundred (1200) runs in the first innings which comprised of at the moment a triple century and two double centuries. Wow, what a run feast. Now everyone is wondering will he make the 401? Well, I believe Lara's record is no easy milestone to cross, and even with a concrete pitch, Younus will have to dig hard, but he claims his focus is batting 40 overs but everyone knows, when a batsman reaches 300 theses days, there is just one thing on his mind

We'll wait to see.

NASA's rocket takes spiral turn

Little outside the coast of Antarctica, NASA's 273 million satellite crashed back to Earth early this Tuesday morning approximately three (3) minutes after launch. Ok let's do some maths, so thats 273/3 gives us 91 million a minute, 1.52 million a second in this economical downtime.

The intent of satellite's was to provide readings on CO2 global emissions and the effects it would have on the earth's climate. Now it's back to the drawing board to look at optimizing this 273 million.

Now talk about "liquidizing" our assets. NASA you gave us a good illustration but this won't phase your piece of the pie in the budget. We all know the benefits of research even if it takes a little turn for the worst here or there.

Rhianna maybe seeing something I'm, sorry, the world's not

Last Night TMZ's website posted a picture of what they portray to be Rhianna after the alleged brawl with boyfriend Chris Brown. As shocking as the picture depicts the blows to Rhianna image comes the shocking news being circulated that Rhianna says "She still loves him" and the couple are working on their differences.

Oh boy, Now Rhianna does not fit the category of woman with no job depending on boyfriend for financial security nor does she fit the description of woman with life threats depending on security guard weight lifter boyfriend for physical security. Not that these are any valid excuse to be in any abusive relationship, but it would give me some thoughts to consider for the probable mental trail of her thoughts. So I am yet again in my state of bewilderment as I look at the question why do women remain in abusive relationship? Perhaps it's all a rumor, and this whole story of Rhianna and Chris is a farce. There was no brawl and the images are all false. So why I am puzzling myself over this.

People! some things are just not worth brain or emotional trauma. I hope we all learn this sooner than later.

Facebook Reverts "Terms of Use"

Facebook attempts to what I'll call "subconsciously" change the Terms of Use Policy to include the rights to user's uploaded content (photos, wall posts etc) was met with expected disgust by disgruntled facebook users (incl. myself) and so they have reverted to their old policy for now.

What's happening in our world today? Facebook this is your second blunder. Get it straight! Facebook users want to share with their personal social networking friends. Not to every wit and fancy you would desire or want. Then why would we have been attracted to personal sharing in the first place?

Facebook. get your act together. If you see something you like, send in your permission slip request or let us go to the competition!

Tis da season to be Jolly

I spent the Christmas Holidays in New York City (Manhattan) getting a first-hand experience of what it feels like way this north during the festive season.
Well you see those movies with the kids running up and down in the snow, and throwing snow balls at each other and they make it look so easy and all is jolly, well that's just the movies.

I can't imagine anyone running up and down in this ice box for too long. Well the lighting magic of New York never cease to amaze me and the pace of this city never slows down. That lives up to its name. This Holiday trip was about Family and getting some well overdue rest.
The family time was great and I enjoyed just sleeping, eating, movie watching and repeating the cycle. Our cozy apartment was perfect and the laid back attitude was kill for.

As I continue to enjoy this trance I am in, Big up to Obama and All the best for the Holidays to everyone. Keep the Family close and work for a Prosperous New Year.

Wheel and come again

I declared on November 11, I am making my come back but it's been a month since I posted and feel a little like Britney a few months ago and more morph into O.J. now.

I came in from work yesterday evening, kicked off my shoes as I turned to CNN ,voila!, I saw George Bush "nuh linga do di sweep" navigating away from a shoe thrown by an Iraqi journalist. Did you see how they whisked the "sole" supporter of Geroge B in the room? I am now wondering if they will ban shoes from news conferences, next thing no voice recorders because that's the next deadly object following the mouth at the podium.

Anyways I need Mr Bush on my Dandi Shandi Team when next we play.

But to get back to where I started in this article, I know "many" (delusional practice) are asking "What's happening?". To put it simple, I'm having Trouble Involving Myself Efficiently. When I get it sorted out then we'll be on a roll again so I apologize and I'm gonna wheel and come again.

The Comeback!

Ok, normally when people make comebacks, they come with the hype, flair and marketing power to launch their presence into our curious lives. Unfortunately I have neither the hype, flair or marketing power as I attempt to restart my postings.

Now with Comebacks the common question is where have you been? Well, too busy to have noticed so sorry to disappoint my fan based. Speaking of which I probably only had one active reader in prime days so I should only be writing one apology letter.

So why come back? Well, other than I needed just one more challenge in my day to enter the Guinness book of records, I am still seeking the answer so be patient with me.

So what a comeback this has been. Yes, this is how I greet my world once more - with ramblings to only comfort myself, "I did it!"

Bolts thunders down Track

KINGSTON, Jamaica.
Usain Bolt ran the second fastest 100m ever recorded in 9.76 seconds only bettered by fellow Jamaican Asafa Powell.

Now I am sure the world were all expecting a big show down from Bolt in the 200m at the Bejing Olympics but with this blistering of run it must have cut marks into the Powell / Tyson Gay battle. He surely must now be comtemplating to have a say in the 100m in China.

Well, let's see if Bolt will tighten his screws on the 100m and bring some more unexpected results, lets say, a World record performance.

No pressure on the young lad who currently holds the world junior record at the 200m but he got a promising future ahead.

Blog rescue

After days of searching for my blog it has been returned. I am happy to see my blog has returned to its owner. It was quite discomforting wondering if my blog was ok, wherever it went. I could sense it was all alone.

I have checked my blog and recognize there are no external wounds present but it is a little malnourished and hungry so I have to take care of my blog now.

Thanks for the support to the many who gave kind words and encouragement during these challenging time.

Kidnap Resort

Oh man, I am tired of being an educated professional going to my 24/7 job paying taxes, thinking about tomorrows meals, where the next dollar is gonna come from. I am just fed up.

Sometimes I think "kidnappees" are better off than me. Yeah, when I look at the kidnappee, They are being fed by their kidnappers, they don't have to pay tax, they get three meals a day, shower twice a day, TV interviews like a celebrity.

Now that's the life! Each day someone doesn't find the ransom I bet they are like "Yes!". Oh man, I'll go waking on the streets in Basra if i could, "Take me, Take me! I want to be taken". I'll get my American citizenship to raise the stakes.

All this time I have been talking about wanting to get get away from the world to a nice hideout and it's right there available. Free of cost, excursions from the trunk of the car, adventure beyond words description.

Oh man if I got kidnapped it would be a party up in this house.

Giants knock off Patriots

The New York Giants yesterday won Superbowl XLII upsetting the seasons unbeaten favorites the new England Patriots. Tim Brady's team which looked like an offensive powerhouse machinery during the season were stopped short by the brilliant defense of Tom Coughlin Giants.
The match did come down to a NY apparent last drive (in my opinion at the time) third & 5 when Giants quarterback (Eli Mannings) made a very desperate throw after wiggling his way out patriots defensive trouble (where was that elusive sack) to scramble a throw some 32 yards down the line to his team mate Tyree. From their they made it to the in zone to score a touch down leaving the Patriots with only a few seconds to attempt any scoring to take the lead. It was not to be however.

Congrats to the Giants. This is was case we see where the underdogs can not get unmotivated because of they are called underdogs.
Good work Giants. Begin your parades down Battery Park and walk Broadway with smiles and pride.
