POHLICE ..... two woman Police ..... stopping every single car ...... and fuh what ...... tuh give 'advice' ..... yep ..... so dey stop us now ..... and one ah dem walk over tuh me ...... and in a typical gruff 'I am woman' police tone ..... she start ...... FIRST TINGS FIRST - WHERE IS YOUR SEAT BELT? ...... so I raise meh arm tuh show her dat ah have it orn ...... den she blurts out ...... DAT IS NOT DE RITE WAY TUH WEAR DE SEATBELT - PLEASE WEAR IT PROPERLY ...... now really an' truly ..... if I eh dead from flyin tru de windscreen ..... ah go dead from gettin choke by de seatbelt ..... cuz seatbelts choke me ..... yeah I am that short in a car seat! ..... anyway ...... after I was corrected/reprimanded ..... I fixed the strap ..... she then went on to 'advise' ..... that fog lights are illegal ..... and that I have one of two options ...... TAKE DEM OUT ...... or ...... TURN DEM OFF ....... so ah turn dem off ..... this was then followed by some babbling about the fine fuh not wearing yuh seatbelt ..... and de fine fuh de fog lights (which quite frankly I find is fogging shit) ..... cuz as far as I concerned ..... if I buy my car from de dealer ..... and it come wit fog lights ..... and de licencing authority ...... licence it ..... den I good tuh go ...... but ..... whatever ..... de Woman Pohlice say it illegal ..... so it muzbe illegal ..... me eh have no money tuh pay no fine ..... so they will be off from now on!!

Turns out ..... that the crazy ass traffic dat we drove away from ..... was fuh de Keith Rowley meeting in Diego ..... UNBELIEVABLE!
FRIDAY, MAY 7
Friday was another hectic day of running around ....
But ..... tired no ass (and fighting off a flu) ..... I had tuh be at Fiesta Plaza, Movie Towne fuh 7:30 pm ...... yeah .... cuz my friend's band (Gyazette) was opening fuh two hip-hop artistes ..... who were launching their new video ..... doh ask meh dey name ..... cuz ah doh know ..... I think one is called Engineer ..... an de odda one is Triller (yes Triller .... not Thriller) .... an' ah tink de song is called Doh Interfere ...... or least that's the chorus ...... de video was pretty cool too ...... starrin none other than de Calypso King of de World himself ..... de Mighty Sparrow!
Ah reach late tho ..... so ah didn't get tuh take eeeen de whole scene .....
After dat now ..... like crew an' crew was lil antsy ..... and wanted tuh jam some more ..... so we end up in de Green Park ..... jammin ..... when ...... after about ah hour an' ah half ...... 4 men in black (security) come an' brace we ..... cuz apparently one of de Movie Towne 'Management' pass ..... and see we jammin ..... and was like ...... "WTF are those people doing in de Park - get dem outta there!" ..... yuh would swear we was drunk and disorderly and causing trouble ...... anyway ...... so we end up in Drink Wine Bar ..... ah real cool, lil joint ..... dat had zero problems with de crew jammin!
So while crew busy organisin dey instruments etc ..... I say leh meh take ah lil gape outside ..... and while doin so ...... ah run in tuh ah fren dat ah eh see in months ...... actually he's more like an acquaintance ...... he's somebody I always used tuh see around ...... on de scene ....... and then one day we just got tuh talking ....... anyway ...... so he tell meh he fire de wuk ...... and he been travelling the world ...... and how everybody know he business ...... cuz it does be on Facebook ...... so how come I doh know dat he not at "De Bar" no more blah, blah, blah ...... so I tell him (in joke) dat maybe its cuz I'm not a maco ...... and dat I'm not on Facebook ..... and dat I'm not really into social networking at all ..... and dat de only ting I does do .... dat anywhere close tuh dat is ..... blogging ...... so he ask meh what meh blog name is ..... an' ah tell him dat he too F-up ..... so I eh tellin him de name ..... cuz he go want tuh logon an be effin me up right tru ..... so he smile (cuz he know is true) ....... den he ask meh how much hits ah does get ah day ..... so I tell him I doh know ..... den he's like what yuh mean yuh doh know ..... yuh mus check dat - yuh mus want tuh know dat ..... and I was like NO ......

I make another attempt at a joke ..... and I compare my blog to SEINFELD ....... you know ..... that show about nothing ...... to which his response was:
*smirk smirk* ..... at only 400 hits ah day ..... that sounds more like SEIN-FAILED ..... not Seinfeld!
Anyway ...... we chatted for a while after that comment ...... but let's just say ..... the conversation continued in the same vein (i.e. ah kyna effin-ME-up vibes) ..... cuz he even went into how backward I was tuh not embrace de internet ..... fuh dah whole social networkin scene ..... sayin shit like ..... oh ..... you need tuh get wit de 21st century ...... and I was like ..... why am I still standing here talkin tuh dis dude ...... who obviously picked-up an A-HOLE bug on his many recent travels!!?? ...... so ..... I excused myself ..... and I went inside ...... at which time ....... de jam session was in full swing ......
SATURDAY, MAY 8
Ah was back in Movie Towne ..... ah went tuh see Death at a Funeral ..... and it was actually better than I expected it to be ..... there were about 10 people in the movie theatre ..... and I was laughin real loud ..... which was kinda embarrassing when de movie done ...... cuz then it was obvious that it was me laughing out loud!
Gosh how I hate small talk ..... it so adds up to nothing ...... just like this post!
The band .... Gyazette (minus some - crew and instruments) .....
The hip-hop artistes ..... Triller (or could be Trilla) ..... and Engineer ......
Them again ...... engaging the audience ......
That's Triller (with CD in hand) posing with the band ......
Jam in de park ....

As fuh dem police..I wonder about dem. One time, ah male officer approached me while I was stuck in traffic by Gulf City Mall. Now, mind you, he eyeing meh dong right through eh. He finally come across and ask meh if de car ah driving is mine, I said yes. Then he said, yuh know that yuh inspection sticker expired? I said yes. Then he winked at me, smiled and said, yuh know what yuh have to do, right? I said yes. After he was done eye-balling meh, he walked off. Of course, he didn't hesitate to smile one more time as I was driving off. Waste ah $hitting time oui.
