My Old Friend

I have this friend who I've known since the late 80's. He was a Reuters correspondent in South America who fell foul of the Argentinian generals in their heyday and was retired and sent home to Trinidad. He's a great writer who is now reduced to writing for weeklies and living on a subsistence of a... Sign in to see full entry.

Spain's Victory And A Rainy Morning

Its a rainy morning in Port of Spain, Trinidad. Dark skies and rain everywhere. I love days like this. It will be cool and I won't sweat as much. Last night my landlord watched the Spain and Germany football match in the room next to mine. Spain won, as you might know and he called me to see a... Sign in to see full entry.

The Law Is Too Severe

The laws we have are too severe. I just read on the net this morning that Lindsay Lohan got 90 days in jail. That's three months without freedom for not attending rehab classes way back in 2007. I wonder of anyone thinks that this will help her overcome her failings. I know people here in Trinidad (... Sign in to see full entry.

The Perpetual Arguement

Have you ever encountered a woman who responds to every single thing with an argument? Well, I have. She works with me. Every single time I speak to her she responds with an argument. I called her just now to confirm something I noticed about the work we do together and she started an argument.... Sign in to see full entry.

The Inevitable Screen

They're using the inevitable screen again. It was put up so we here in this office could watch World Cup Football and I guess a match is about to begin because its in use again. No one really works in here while that thing is in play. You are naturally drawn to the screen with your eyes and whatever... Sign in to see full entry.

Amazing

Its amazing how life with God works. I just lost all my cash in the coin casino around the corner including the money I had on me for a fellow employee and walking back to the office bordering on despair I quite naturally found someone to lend me 100 bucks. He's gone to the ATM machine and there is... Sign in to see full entry.

Truth

Truth is so simple. It shines forth at you like an effervescent glow behind every thing you see or do. It never falters or wavers. It is always there to show its light through the darkness we encounter. Its so necessary in this world of darkness. It is so easy to use to see our way through... Sign in to see full entry.

Prince And The Internet

The pop star Prince is quoted today on Yahoo as saying the net is over and there is no point in him selling his music on the net because its about to go through. Sometimes its hard to understand these attitudes we get from pop culture and its icons. there could be many reasons for something like... Sign in to see full entry.

Kylie Minogue And All the Surprises

I hope I spelled her name right 'cause its possible that I didn't and her new album and video out now is called " All The Lovers " and there is a preview of it on Yahoo. Quite a thing. A huge number of young people in the streets kissing and taking their clothes off. Some people do take this free... Sign in to see full entry.

The Failures Of Men

Its hard sometimes to understand the failures of men. When Argentina lost to Germany that difficult and ebullient coach, Maradona, had some hard things to say to German fans at the football match. In another article viewed just a few moments ago it is said that Germany's team is the best ever for a... Sign in to see full entry.
