be warned, beware, take heed, prepare...who doh hear mus' feel!

planass
for the con artistes
artistes of cons
chasing power+money
+money+power
without a care what get mash up or devour
stop the lies
and the damn mamaguys
the conspicuous consumption
devices and vices
distraction cyah save yuh
we singing yuh song
we claiming we space
we bringing it down
planass
for the venomous vampires
nefarious necromancers
attacking we rights
stop the abuse of power
the misuse of might
the cheating
the stealing
stop watching we slight
we waking
we movin'
we coming
we claiming
we raising we hands
for we rights!

walk good.

and in other bes' local news: waves restore grande riviere! yay!
now- notice how the decrease in crabs linked to the increase in brazilian waxing is also accompanied by an increase in stds...
as for the dude who manage to outsource his job, my 1st instinct was, good for you pardner, if you figure out how to make that work for you, fix up...but the fact that he "spent less than one fifth of his six-figure salary for a chinese firm to do his job" seems wrong, somehow, in terms of world balance...
this is something i find myself having to explain more often than i should to people who should know better, but then that's her point, right?
this "distress of the privileged" is an argument that i think bears consideration...
and lastly, this, because it was funny/curious and because richard marx (simultaneously with paula abdul) was the 1st album i ever bought with my own $, on cassette...
walk good.

watch dem...

now is the time, now is that time, that time when so much a gwan i eh have time to write it, barely enough time to feel+experience it all before jouvay happens gloriously, finish, tragically, and i must resign myself to the drudgery of waiting a whole 'nother year for what sustains me...so much already happen, happening, and plenty plenty sooncome, so lemme take pause to mark a few thoughts before they lose in the delirium that is the build to self-explosion... so i stagemanaging 3canal carnival show (planass) again this year...remembering the crazy of las' year, i ask warrenman, going into auditions, babes, how many we looking for? and he say, about 9-12; knowing the beast, my favourite beast, i take that to mean 15 and hope we doh cross 18...during auditions now, i watching and his whole demeanour shift and realise 1time (again, i know the beast) he changing his concept as he watching how tings developing...by the end of auditions i knew capping the cast@18 would be damn near impossible. now we have more than twice that. including canals+cut+clear band we make 50+counting, because that doh include preshow artistes...i just keeping my eye on meh jouvay prize and wukkin to survive...
nex' ting; $1billion of 1.6billion-taxpayer-dollar-project traced to offshore bank accounts, according to our director of public prosecution; only 1 in every 3 taxpayer dollars used to produce goods or services for our country; every trinbagonian, every citizen, need to watch: afra raymond speaks on corruption@tedx port of spain 2012.  
plus still more reason for "planass" [be warned, beware, take heed, prepare...] paolo kernahan vs. "deliriously dotish...sub-educated troglodytes dragged in from a dirty sidewalk"...
and, on the audacity of forcing others to view a natural female form, because even though i never watch the show or see the partially/naked girl or even know who she is, the piece speaks to that undeniable part of me, that girl who still burns at the mere idea of any authority outside of self encroaching on any choice i may make [fyi, i am apparently "made of lime, woman, and science. with a dash of tv tropes"]...
and last-but-not-least, big-up the protester i seeing photos of out there, boobs bare, chest marked: "still not asking for it"...ent!
walk good.
