I've just been told I can't receive money in Trinidad via Paypal. Its nothing new. Trinidad does not follow so many things around the world I'm not surprised that the financial requirements are not met. Its the history of this island. Really. French football players, already so upset by their defeat... Sign in to see full entry.

I like to muse. I do it when I'm relaxed or free thinking which is to say there is nothing bearing down on my mind. Its hard when you can't buy the things you like to eat. Happens with me frequently. Either I don't have the money or the grocery doesn't have it item. I've noticed that supermarkets in... Sign in to see full entry.

Calling this a dumb Saturday because its not the happiest time for me. Somebody wished me happy Father's Day ( which is tomorrow Sunday ) and I did not even know tomorrow was Father's Day and I am also not a father.

Obama made a speech at Carnegie Mellon that smacks of something I know well. A government that doesn't agree with private business. Its the same thing here in Trinidad, where I live. In his efforts to identify himself with the people he makes it all too personal and comes off with something... Sign in to see full entry.

So what else do they say but sorry? I mean, its not their fault. They didn't plan or start the opil spill by themselves. It happened by itself in an unintentional accident.

Then there is this sea captain presently in Trinidad awaiting a court hearing on the matter of some ganja that was found on board his vessel last year. He's been here since March 2010 and was here before that awaiting the court's answer to his charge. He did not smuggle anything. They just found the... Sign in to see full entry.

There are these big headlines in the news reporting that President Obama is due to tell BP executives to clean up the oil spill in the Gulf at their expense. Its amazing how the publicists use these things to advantage. So he never said to them on the phone or anywhere else that they would have to... Sign in to see full entry.

Has it occurred to anybody how this gun battle scene is expanding around the world? First there's this Johnny Come Lately Saville Report about a shoot down on demonstrators in 1972 ( that's over thirty years ago ) in London. I can't believe how late this is! Thirty something years! Then there's this... Sign in to see full entry.
