I love this song... I Wish You Were Here - Incubus I want a stereo I wish I could turn it up loud and enjoy the instruments properly. But my little dinky radio just aint doing this song justice. It tries but its too dinky....poor radio
So I'm on this whole Lady Saw trip now. She's the model for strong females everywhere.
Here's my new role model.
Such femininity and poise. She's definitely unique. And such understated beauty and elegance. An in your face kinda lady....just like her name...Shes not Lady Saw for nothing!
So I aim in every way to emulate this noteworthy female.
I studied til 3 am this morning. Went on the net and then crawled into bed exhausted. Then I woke up at around 1130 this morning. Not because I was ready to wake up but because the A$$HOLE TRINIS that live downstairs thought it was appropriate to drum on the table...to relieve stress. I was so pissed. Thats the closest Ive come to using swear words first thing in the morning. These people going to make me sin my soul. How could someone be so inconsiderate? HOW?? I would like to lose my cool and lose my foot up one of their asses!
(calm down.....:)
Moving along...
I heard some of the lyrics to a Lady Saw song on the X5 "riddim"
Who woulda thought that Lady Saw and I would have similar ideas. I havent heard the song in full yet but I know I love the beat and so far the lyrics seem me-ish. Maybe this will be my new theme song and I can get rid of "Dont Let Me Get Me" and "Bedroom Bully" (I'm joking...sheesh!:P)
SO I just got back from Club Coconuts...the party in the hills. But before I start my babbling let me just get this out of the way
If a guy drinks with one of those teensie straws is he gay?
Just wondering.
BUT....tonight I went out....for FREE! I left home with nothing in my pockets but my flat mate's ID (mine is still soaking up the Bajan atmosphere...somewhere) and my ATM card. And I didnt stop at the machine and I didnt need to. UWI students were free before 10:30 (we got there at about 10:20) and drinks were free all night. AT first it was empty and they were playing alternative. I got especially misty eyed when they played "I Wish You Were Here" by Incubus and "Blurry" by Puddle of Mud.....and "Drops of Jupiter" by Train. Yeah I miss you Marcus. VERY MUCH!
Then they were playing hip hop. Not my thing! AT ALL!
THEN...they got to the good stuff...MY GOSH....they had a beautiful reggae session. Jugglers (the DJ's) did a wonderful thing and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I cant remember the last time I had such a great time in Trinidad...oh yeah...February;-)
Plus...i have to give the fellas props. Many of them made the move to come talk to me. SO not all guys wait for girls to make the first move. Well not Trini guys anyways
That was my night in a nut shell...hahah pun intended.
I studied today. For a long time. Well long in my books. Im all excited about studying tomorrow (yah right!) I feel satisfied though. Well not totally but at least Im on my way to something.
I also heard from my old roomie from JHU today. She wrote me an email out of the blue. She doesnt even know Im going to be in Baltimore in a few weeks. I hope I get to see her. I miss you Amy!!:) hahah
Sad new though. A baby died yesterday and the parents are saying it was because of the doctors' strike. See what I mean. They cant do this. If it's true then they've gone too far.
Someone told me last night that Im weird. I wouldnt be concerned if it was the first time I'd heard that. But unfortunately I get that alot. Id prefer the word "unique" or "special" or "gifted"...
Also..for the record. Although I act like a complete air headed ditz.....I am!
LMAO!!
I need not laugh at my own lame ass jokes....really.....it's not attractive
Gosh Darnit! Im so sick of this studying thing. Im sick of it!!!! AHHHHHH
Im tired of these halls and this room and this freakin internet.
Rescue me from this drab existence
And to top it all off Real World was crap tonight. I can see this series going down the drain really quickly.
I feel like going out and partying. Some good reggae and calypso and a few Guinness I'll be good again.
But all my bitching and moaning will get me nowhere. So I just need to buckle down and get to it.
on other news...
what the hell is happening in the world?
I woke up this afternoon (bad ade!!) to the news on the radio. Doctors on strike in Trinidad and priests molesting children in the US. Arent these people supposed to be helping us? If we cant go to a priest or a doctor who can we go to?
Doctors shouldnt be able to strike. I dont care what issues they have it's not right to hold the welfare of other people to ransom. Theyre interfering with people's lives over money!
Don't even let me get started on the whole Catholic thing either. OK...I wont go there.
WTF!! (What the France:)
I just went to www.guinness.com and they request all this info before you enter the site.
This is what came up.
Your country of residence does not permit you to view this site.
Please exit the Guinness®.com website.
Lemme get this straight... you can go to any bar in Barbados and ask for Guinness and so long as you dont look like youre 12 years old they will sell it to you. BUT I cant go to the guinness web site. Im 22!! We dont even have a legal drinking age in Barbados!
Cause I am hanging on every word you say and Even if you don't want to speak tonight That's alright, alright with me Cause I want nothing more than Sit outside Heaven's door I listen to you breathing It's where I want to be Where I want to be
Last night I went out to a restaurant for my flatmate's birthday. I had a great time. I spent the whole day being all girlie because my flatmate was bored. I didnt mind being her guinea pig. It's been a while since I got dressed up and made up. I have to say the results were impressive. It's inspiration to go out and buy make up and learn how to set my freakin hair! Its definitely worth the effort.
I was told today that women are God's greatest creation. Thank you, thank you very much! I have to agree!! hahah
I'm A Girl!!
As much as I would love to be able to pee standing up (not really!) and having really long armpit hair (yeah i know Im grossing you out) I would never give up being able to fuss about clothes without being considered gay, or playing around with make up and styling my hair, or being served first at the bar or the ability to cry in public without shame, or be a damsel in distress....NEVER. It's just too much fun being feminine or female...or both.
Girls Rule!! and by the way....never underestimate the power of a hot pink top!!! mayeb its not for every one but it surely works for me!
random babbling has to stop now by the way. Exam tomorrow and I will destroy it. Whose is this????? Mine? I thought so>:)
