you ran through my mind and other musings

whta does that mean exactly?
i love how the verb is projected onto someone else - away from the actual person doing the thinking. why wouldnt a person say "i just thought of you?" eh well

i went by my cousin's house yesterday in celebration of his 27th birthday. this 6'4 grown man spent 15 mins talking to the family puppy (dog #2), Buffy, as if Buffy was a small child.
[read in a Barry White rumbly voice with an east Trini accent]
"how yuh lookin so buffy? buffy? i talkin to you! look! we have people comin here and i bathe you just 3 days and yuh lookin so! what is this in your hair? LOOK! go and get your comb. GET YOUR COMB!"

[after he retrieves a plastic brush from somewhere in the house, he brushes Buffy's hair while continuing to chastise the puppy]

So yuh come home from school an' yuh just play play. yuh have to come home, do yuh schoolwork, study yuh books, play a little bit, then go to bed. None of this rolling into things just so..."

I hope Buffy learned his lesson.

i found out kwesi's close friend from the neighborhod is actually his father. his REAL father. all those times they were liming together, he was actually sticking close to make sure kwesi kept out of trouble... to keep an eye on him. never mind that kwesi is 27 adn the friend is 31. apparently those are small details. who knew?

student: miss, you are blocking the whiteboard. [she cant see what is being projected]

i was in the local paper. FINALLY! this year i was in one paper for carnival and in another as an attendee of an art show. we're having a great staged conversation in the photo. celebritah!

the news just showed police in attendance of a public forum where people in a certain neighborhood are pleading for protection because they fear for their safety... and the police officer in the front is so asleep he's nodding right into his chest. his family must be SO proud of that moment. too bad none of his friends tried to wake him up. that's almost a metaphor for the police services in that village i guess. 'uhhh we would have responded to your cries for help, but we were asleep on the job'. *shrugs*

what is "multimedia filtration"? blue waters advertising team is full of crap.
"we filter all our water through many stages. in the final stages we use the horns of purple unicorns. only purple. never pink."
