..... talkin bout bannin we belly
Is Saturday at last!! ....... the end of ..... what was a very rough week in Trini ..... wit my car stories ...... and de weather dramas ..... and all de resulting dotishness ...... and de Prime Minister on TV ...... tellin we ...... dat is time tuh ...... BAN WE BELLY ..... blah, blah, blah, BS .......
Anyway ...... after not having water ...... fuh de entire day yesterday ....... and gettin it back today (Amen) ...... I am in a great mood ....... and I'm seriously contemplating dat whole ....... 'bannin we belly' scene ....... cuz really an truly ...... other than already practicing it ...... in de figurative sense (long time now!) ....... it dawned on me ...... dat I also need tuh do it ...... in de literal sense too ...... as in ..... Exercise!! ...... not dat I have ah belly ..... tuh ban ...... which I guess is why I never placed much importance on exercising ...... but as ah say ..... it got me thinking about health and fitness on de whole ......
Then ...... as if by some kinda weird coincidence ...... just as I'm about tuh wrap up my thoughts on exercising ...... and actually do some ...... I find a fitness call card ....... while cleaning out the abyss that is my handbag (the most exercise I got today!)
I soon realise ...... why it is ...... de card was lost in my handbag ...... and not lost in de garbage ....... and why it is ...... exercise IS important ...... especially exercise of the MIND .......

Now although this call card ..... was not pleasing to my eyes at all ..... since much of it just bothered me ...... like the bristol board it was printed on ...... and the homemade finish (obviously printed on ah inkjet ... so yuh know if it get wet ... it turnin tie dye) ..... and then the colours (purple, black, brown, red - oh gorm what ah combination!) ..... and the fonts (too many different ones) ..... and the unnecessary use of capital letters ...... and odd use of 'bullets' ...... and dat jokey man doin dat jokey exercise ..... and the two little running men in the bottom corners ..... and the general cluttered, makin-no-sense appearance!! .... I have tuh say .... that other than ..... all of dat .... and other than the fact ..... that it's about a Fitness Centre or sumtin ..... the first thing that really struck me ...... and stuck with me ...... is the novel name ...... M.B.S. Fitness Limited ...... with M.B.S. meaning ...... Mine Body Soul ..... Grrrrrrrr???? ...... MINE??? ...... and then there was the definition of ..... Physicial??!! health ..... which also kinda baffled me a bit ...... cuz why only dat definition .... dat only covered the BODY part of the name ...... so wha bout de MINE ..... and de SOUL ....
Anyway ..... baring all dat ...... ooooops ah mean 'barring' ..... I didn't fear ..... cuz look at their credentials .....

An economic downturn will do the country good. The silver lining can appear in the form of no car so more walk, more bandit so more run. There is a saying from probably the Stone Age which says ban the belly, save the artery. The slowing down of economic activity will also mean less alcohol so the less wrapping of cars around poles. Those who go on the breadline will not be happy at first but will soon come to realize they too can change their career since job seekers will become a new and booming career. It might not pay much but at least it will give people something to do.
