quote

The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world
is to see something and tell what it saw in a plain way.
Hundreds of people can talk for one who can think,
but thousands can think for one who can see.
To see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion, all in one.
- John Ruskin

Soca Warriors show how it's done





Trinidad and Tobago beat Bahrain today 1-0.....waaaaaaaaat, lol. That means that they're now one of the final 32 teams taking part in World Cup 2006 next year in Germany :D
I'm soooooo happy -- they played well today and given that the goalkeeper needs work, I'm hoping they work some kind of magic when official play starts.
TnT looked like such a different team out there on the pitch, and the commentary today was just enough to keep you interested, lol. I swear every so often an "oh deary me" would be heard from those commentators that made me wonder just what they would say were it not for censorship...

Towards the end of the game, Bahrain was showing signs of stress they were just MEAN and didn't really care what they did. I will say the attempt on goal in stoppage time was brilliant on Bahrain's part... and even though he made some good saves, TnT's keeper just wasn't up to mark this game.
I was so afraid for my team though, I heard gunshots in the background and in my mind I thought it couldn't be too safe...I mean if fans were throwing water bottles onto the pitch, what was to stop them from taking aim, hmm?



It was said that when TnT flew over to Bahrain, they were only provided with FIVE soccer balls for practice...and Bahrain banned tnt's rhythm section from entering the stadium with their instruments! that's just messed up - I had to listen to some man singing/chanting in some Bahranian style throughout the entire game, lol.

In the end all that mattered was that Trinidad won and qualified. Why? Because that's was their mission, and because Bahrain tried everything to break them before the match and winning 1-0 was the perfect way to show them that.

whyyyyy?

Why do ppl find it necessary to speak in ways which make them seem like they lack the ability to think for themselves? LoL...soo much of that going around in today's world. I understand there are words that just stand out sometimes....but really just because something is emphasized does not mean that you have to over do it! For instance the word still... A normal person would just say "I still have a lot of work to do" or even "I have work to do still.."

Young'uns today just killed that word.
THEY say it like "that's arite, STYLLLL"
or to express something is to their liking "that's sick, STYLLLL"
yes, notice the difference, still and STYLL.
It's so messed up, one kid was soo wrapped up in this thug talk he actually introduces himself like "my name is Ali, STYLLL" wtf?? is he really saying his name is Ali or that his name is still ali, like did it change.. what? Damn this madness..it's gotta stop, lol.

What the hell is wrong with these - vocab. challenged, repped up, reffed out, don't need an education, 2 cool for school, ghetto thug - wannabes?

I mean it's all the same now... guys walking around like they own the world, girls walking around like that owned world revolves around them and only them...
they're all so pre-occupied with their own view of reality that NoNe of them are leaders...only a bunch of followers, trying to conform so they can say they're so alike. It probably helps them sleep better at nite knowing they're all the same, I dunno.
ANNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDD those who claim that they know the way..that they aren't just some cut out who follows anyone else, fuck you.
They follow this notion of how they should act so that they'll be perceived by others as tough and all that...it's not getting them anywhere. If someone did something because they wanted to, there wouldn't be half this shit going on today.
When a 15 yr. old girl is fighting another girl for a "man" and esp. when that man is just a boy who isn't there to step up for her because he wants to be a playa, that's fucked up...when that same 15 yr old girl is reppin gang x, because everyone and their brother is reppin them in school, that's fucked up. Kids today need to grow up, think a lil bit and maybe they'll be ready to step out into reality.
WHYYY are these kids the way they are?? Because they're fucked up. They think they know too much and because they get their way too damn much.

e.g. you love your child, think they're better than anyone else on earth etc. YOu tell them this, it's just gonna make them feel soo superior and know that you think of them like that...AND Even if you keep your kid locked in the house except for school or taking them out with you, when they get time on their own like in school they are gonna rebel like never before, even if you've given them a good life. When I say rebel it's gonna be in their way..doesn't have to be the stereotypical assumptions.
It's true, and nobody can deny it. Only way to really avoid a future thug wannabe on your hands...teach them , discipline them and make damn sure they know you wont lie for them.. if they lie to you and you lie to yourself cuz you dont wanna believe they're bad, then you're creating that thug.

...Dr. Phil, you've got nothing on me - nothing, lol.
As for Oprah...she's gonna rule the world one day, got nothing on me either, but can't mess with her :D

Friday

End of the week, soo it's time to reflect...or so i've been told to do.
Something about it making life seem so much more worth it and what not.
Why not? I'll try it...
Started tutoring this week....Gr. 11 Bio and Finite Math.
FINITE MATH!
If only Mr. Boyd could see me now, lol.
I used to skip soo many of those classes, that's when I found out Ching staff actually had a list of students who were "bad" :S
..yes I secured a top ten spot on it in OAC -- only cuz I couldn't stand going to class so often. Everyday, now that's really asking a bit much, lol.
Tutoring makes me feel like i'm the smartest person out there, you know I even caught myself singing the "smart song" that Homer Simpson sings ....
i know you know what I'm talking about, no need to front.
lol..I know that you know that I know u know that episode when homer's singing
"I am so smart, S-M-R-T"
LoL....yes, I'm just that smart. It's all good though, this gives me something to do while i'm on this break from school...and while I'm loving the time off, I miss it. don't get me wrong...I don't miss the classes (hell NO), just the ppl and random times that could be had if I were there.
Being home has advantages, but time to think and reflect is not necessarily one of them. I swear I find ways to get myself into trouble when I'm not even doing anything that would be troublesome. HOW? I have no clue. And when I say trouble I'm not talking trouble like "oo noooo i'm gonna get into trouble for this, grounded and shit like that" but trouble like "damn, why did i wanna take apart the microwave in the first place...now how do i fix it??"

yeah...random things that make me wonder what makes me do the things I do. It's not for attention...I just do it cuz it's something to do, and that's not a good reason either. Hmm....quite the pickle i'm in wouldn't you agree? LoL....I'm too tired to make sense of this, sooo i'm gonna get me some coffee. :D

Teeth




Damn this process called teething!
Old teeth moving to make space for new teeth,
new teeth coming from God knows where and it hurts! :S
Soo this is the situation...
after years of indecision, my wisdom teeth have decided that it is finally time to make their debut and I'm in P A I N!!! Advil, Tylenol, misc. meds...nothing works.
Whyyyy??? :(
I have no idea...
The way I figure it is...I have enough teeth and i think as far as wisdom goes, I have nothing against acquiring it with age :D sooo, I don't really need these wisdom teeth. nope, not me.

I went in search of some info. and this is what i found...

"Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars are the last teeth to erupt.
This occurs usually between the ages of 17 and 25.
There remains a great deal of controversy regarding whether or not these teeth need to be removed. "

REMOVED?!? Hell NOOOOOOOO , niccuh! LOL.


Eid Mubarak !
