It's been a while...

 

Everyone! Special report! Next Tuesday is a public holiday - Grenada's Independence Day! Do you know what I'll be doing? Huh?

The answer ranges from nothing to I don't know yet.

It just kinda crept up on me.  Me, the infamous Holiday Hunter!  I must be losing my touch... either that, or I'm beginning to like work.  Of course, that's a distinct impossibility.

 

Isn't it?

 

Anyways folks, yesterday was my alma mater's 121st anniversary of existence.  That's right, the Grenada Boys Secondary School is 121 years old. The only other school on the island that is older than the GBSS is the St Joseph's Convent of St George's.  Figures that the girls always have to have the one-up on us.  But don't worry, we co-exist just fine, right? Cuz we men are bastions of peace.  We're not instigators.  Unless it's over a woman.

 

Driving is going along quite swimmingly.  You know I don't have much to say when I start talking about DRIVING.

 

But oh wait... (in trute, 2006 has had quite a few momentous occasions for Grenada already)  I am pleased to announce that Grenada released its first locally made, locally acted cinematic movie! "Blinded" starred Tahira Carter and De Leon Walters, not to mention a certain X Mach fella.  Having been at the premiere screening of the movie, I can attest to the fact that it was indeed enjoyable. Now every Jack Daniels with a camera is going to film a "movie".  And this can only be good for Grenada-and myself-because not only will many people be able to practice and perfect their craft, but I will have hours and hours of lame and unintentionally hilaaaaaarious footage to keep me amused all day.

 

But seriously, while I've always had an interest in writing something that could be translated into a play or TV, seeing how well received this production was has inspired me to attempt screenwriting.  Hell, I may even study it in university or sumthin.  This subject ranks up there with theatre and animation, so it';s still a tight race.  But I think I know who'll win.

 

Last thing: for all you Chuck Norris fans out there (of which I am not one, really) you should check out www.chucknorrisfacts.com.  It has all sorts of little-known facts about the once-"Most Dangerous Man Alive". And even if you're not a fan, it is a VERY entertaining read.  Trust me.

 

Recorded a song recently... it has the distinction of being the first ever song written by me, as well as arranged by me.  Produced by Ex Mach (not to be confused with X Mach, lol) of Ah.Paw.Ka.Lypse Productions on a beat done by a French guy - kudos to l'homme, il est trop bon, trop damn bon - reviews so far have been generous.  Let's hope it'll be well received OUTSIDE of my family, though it does seem promising.  Listen for it sometime this year, but don't expect an album -it took us 2 months to record this one song, and if I have to come better for a follow up single... well... you do the math.

 

Well folks, until the next time I write, enjoy my Vanity Fair photo album, cleverly disguised as a tribute to GBSS Day.  Well, at least most of the pictures show the GBSS tie.
