Before I log off and return to one of my books for the night there are a couple things I need to mention. Its how I use the internet. I either steal time at work and use the office computer on my desk or at home I sit on the edge of my bed ( I live in a rented room ) and bend over a coffee table I... Sign in to see full entry.

Another Saturday and another weekend and this one is exceptional as it is the Saturday before Monday the Polling Day in Trinidad's General Elections and the Wednesday which is payday at the company where I work.

I guess this is a touchy subject to write about and probably because it touches more people than we think but are you employed and poor? I mean really poor. Like having no money to go through the day? Well, I am. Today I left my house with exactly one single dollar to come to work and go through the... Sign in to see full entry.

Blessings come in small ways and never when you actually expect them. Like now. I've waited for nearly three weeks for this blog to get started and have been checking the site daily.
