Black out!

We had a "current blow off" as they call it here, simply no electricity. Having nothing to do in the house, since no light, TV or PC would function, people came out. After 15 minutes they started talking about who brings the meat, who the rice, who the lime-spirits. The remotely triggered lime opportunity was grabbed and people continued liming when power was back. Then I rethought of the phrase 'Black Out'. It is an expression that signifies a run-out of electric power but also a way to describe the phenomenon of a Trini man having a good reason to leave the house, even if this is for the neighborhood's corner. "Black (man goes) Out (of the house)". Back-yard-grown-lime, the lime I love, the lime of the community. In the community everybody knows me now. In the community I feel safe but above all complete. I find my human nature the one driven by insticts in that community. So what was I talking about? Oh yes, that everybody was on the street liming. I walked 2-3 blocks on and I saw the same scene everywhere. Companies liming here and there and I exploited the opportunity to exercise my social capital. Besides there is nothing better than the Indian girl, the one who lives right on the corner of Yxora Drive and Gladioli Boulevard, wining her waist down on my knees... Sweet girl Evrita! She has an almost-greek-name too... Evrita.. Just like Nigrita a village near Serres, Greece..

The other day we had a snake attack. Now Schuyler tell me, why not bro? Did I just slay you again? Naaaaahhh

This guy (I'm talking about my landlord, Stro or Marisho) knows how to listen to some real music. He has downloaded 5 DVDs full of mp3s of what he calls 'European music'. That is Fresh FM (voel je goed?) and X-FM, two Dutch radio stations which play the top-40 over and over again. This music is what I used to listen when I was carrying myself on a bike over to Leidseplein or Jordaan. Ik mis deze momenten.. This music reminds me of my lovely Amsterdam.. but from now on I know it will be reminiscent of Trinidad too. Lord Jesus, what have you put me into? Two and a half months of life in Edem's Garden? Haha!, where did I go wrong?

I know that tonite Scuy, Mai, Didi, Themis and others are drinking in Criterion but I will restrain of being jealous. In few days I will be there and I will be in a terrible need of a scanner, because right now I produce photographed memories (with me seriously involved) and I will have to scan them first before I post them online. Everybody from my Mum to Didi are asking me for pics. If pics is what you want i will gratefully offer them. I will grant to my people their petition; I will meet their demands.

I'm too drunk to continue now.. (stoned too)
Kusjes and doeiiiiii

I'm so sorry to close this thread down in such a uneven way but I'm really strunken! Moo-hahaha
