Firstly, a brief overview of my Sunday things
it started with mi kinda wanting to back-out of going to church

..thinking that God would punish me if I were a no show
slow-motioned around the house
..church starts at 9:30 am
..mi left house @ 9:45
i had to walk to town::: 20-minutes
wore one of two new pair dress trousers
..the black ones
and a new short sleeve white shirt
purchased Sat-day in Lucea town
and of course::>> one of my bow ties
oh
oh
oh::>> new black ultra thin dress socks (black)
and black Bally loafers
good to go..!!..
when i reach Lucea town,
went into Mr.Browns Hardware store to purchase a new pair of water boots
...they open Sundays, but closed on Sat-days:::: it's a religious thing
nice chat with an old-buddy
..the owner/operator
..she was a Ruseas high school teacher, and had other business ventures around town
teased her about her new baby
'..why why why did you wait till you turn 50-ish to have a baby..'
water boots in black plastic bag
..OFF to church
church full-up
mostly women
they look at me entering
preacher (a lady) was WELL into her sermon
she was a good too
great topic, and presentation

in front:::: an old old lady
just from church
'bout 70+ years old
back seat moi
..and 3 other ladies
....2 of dem going to same Negril (per matching uniforms)
we reach Orange Bay
driver pulls off the road/off his route
..to take old lady to her house/gate
......about 45-seconds extra
one evil lady in back seat-SAY:::>> "..driver they got bike taxis to here... (to take her home).."
evil lady vexed 'cause she *almost* late for work [[ due in 1 pm ]]
everybody in taxi get quiet
old lady is dropped off at her gate
we continue to Negril
..reach resort I drop evil-lady & her co-worker
........1:58 pm

BUT:::>> WHEN she got out of that taxi, and door closed, and we drove off
...BOOM Shaka Laka BOOM
taxi man & other-lady almost simultaneously SHOUTED:::>> "..SHE SO RUDE.."
* whew *
dem frightened me
then for 'bout the next 99 seconds it was she-rude-this & she-rude-that
....mi vexed too, added my two cents:::>> "..she should have left earlier for work blah blah blah.."
* sigh *
we reach Negril
i roam around, make-ing my rounds

i've had for past 24 hours
* sigh *
back & forth to the out-house
all night long
walking in mud
....mud 'cause liquid-sunshine fall
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
[[ soon come back ]]
jumping around:::::
back to Sunday stories in a likkle while
.

.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzUIBLgHkiI
.
.
went to one of my Lucea-town favs
...cost:::>> Ja $280 ... i.e., under US $3.00
i'll try to draw a map later
'cause i KNOW some of you's wanna check it out
for now, remember it's in the rear of the main bar on the Lucea One-Way
[[ continue soon come ]]
some Negril highlights
quick chat with Miss Sonia ... she/moi will shoot a video soon
chat wit Mr. Peru... the orange man in-town
Mr. Peru no-got oranges right-now
..they out-of-season
....those you buy taste sour
:-(
trust me.... i can verify THAT
anyhooo.............
in the back of Mr.Peru's truck::::>>> *pure* pine-apples & papayas
he'll peel 'em for you while you wait in put in clear plastic bag
...ready to eat.... good to go
price?? --- i forgot to ask
don't fret::: I WILL be going back
and WILL shoot a video:::: it's neat to see how they peel fruit & put in bag
plus:::>>> Mr. Peru is a cool guy... nice
oh
oh
oh:::>>> before i forget:::>> MUST tell you this::::>> Negril is/was as dead as a door nail
if the town (Negril) was a human, MaddensFuneralParlor would go over there so, and roll it into one of their refrigerators, until ready for final burial
so sad
i've never seen the town so dead dead dead
[[ soon come back ]]
[[ more soon come ]]
Yeah Smith, Mi sis in law showed me that when you put some , I think salt fish on the breadfruit and bite it at the same time is is WONDERFUL.
So, i hope you try it. Yum yum.
That 280J for a curry chicken meal? Out of sight !
Did the Ginger Beer help? That's one of Gem's favorite drinks when on the beach.

oh
oh::>> which reminds me
[[ continueing]]
lesson learned..AFTER, 'lo all these years & trips to Jamaica
i hadn't done this before
on-day-one
pon arrival:::>> i un-packed and neatly put-away & arrange my clothing, stuff, etc.
mi soooooooooooo glad i did
my *life* is so much better
i SHOULD have done this in the past
instead of being so anxious & excited & egar
...to get out-&-about
I hope you felt better after the Ginger Beer.
Too bad you had that "condition" while on vacation.
So Negril is dead huh?
Well, good times can still be had with the locals of course.
Wish I was there.
One of my best trips was in the summer when things were slow, slow.

i KNEW it was gonna be slow
...jus' like i wanted it
but sad for Jamaica/Negril
...'cause this slowness has to be killin' folks
......a *trickle*-down thing-y
for example, Sunday i went to check my barber, and a few other folks, who always are open...even-on a Sunday
nope..!!!..
:-(
dem locked up
closed
e.g, barber got less heads to cut
..'cause workers ain't going to work
....and other *workers* got nobody to impress
saw several *regular-workers*
...looking sad
....in need of a '.trim.'
so it set
by the waaaaaaaaaaa::>> mi-personally, gonna end posting in this thread
...gonna start a today part-2 thread
gonna go shoot some videos
..e.g., my jelly-coconut man said "..OK.." when i asked to do a demo-video on his jelly-bizness::: should be instructive, for those who know nutin' 'bout jelly
PLUS:::>>> more importantly,,,, i just went and 'begged' a eater-ry owner for a small order of callaloo
told her mi desperate:::>>> my *condition* requires leafy-greens (and other stuff)
she said:::>> "..ok.."
soon come back
in 'bout 1-hour
but:>> before i go::>> one more video::>> take sat-day
when i went to visit landlord's son & his family (from foreign)
in background you'll hear some pickneys crying
..that's the foreign pickney
.....Ja-pickeny no better than to act like that
