Day7: Thursday April 27, 2012
NINJA's 2Cents
---------------------------------------------------------------


Ahhh

Waiting leads to Anticipation, Anticipation leads to Peer Pressure, Peer pressure leads to Snarkyness from Ninja

SO is the way to my Dark Side... Well technically all my sides are dark, I mean I am Scotchpanjamerican ( figure it out )


Today was one of those days you wake up and you are happy but something is gnawing at you. We were saying good bye to friends nah family today at least until next we meet. We had so much fun but we knew eventually people would go and we’d be slowly missing people. Patty and Kopper had left earlier but Booper and Jizzy would be leaving us and then soon we’d have to go too. UGH someone punch that dude and wake him up. YOU’RE IN JAMAICA MAN pull your head out of your ass and go get breakfast.

Another stellar breakfast. I beleive this morning I ate another delicious Johnny cake, and my wife will correct me if I’m wrong but it was this morning there was a slight mix up and instead of bacon and cheese I had sausage (who f’ing cares it was GREAT) but it still hit the spot. We would be heading to the boardie bash later and we decided to kill some time at Home .

I wandered around Catcha snapping photo after photo of flora and all that is the beautiful grounds. Tomorrow I would spend even more time getting to know my camera better but for now here are a couple of shots.


Soon we packed up our stuff and headed out to the bash via the scooters. Let me start by saying that like Pooper and Indy Cindy I’m was more of a lurker or rather borderline lurker. You’d see my stuff here or there and I definitely didn't read every possible post there was like some people to remain nameless (the M in Minja or the Marl in Marlja). So before this trip I wouldnt have known a MusicDoc from a GerryG from a Boombastic, besides the handful of folks we have taken a bus ride with or a Chicken Bus trip with or met previously at Sea Splash I was heading into basically as the supporting cast to the Marley show (a job I love to the fullest extent). In these cases I tend to gravitate to what I know, it helped me survive first days of school and getting station at a new duty station in the Navy.

We reach Canoe sat down by Rasta Stan, ( who promptly referred to me as Hootie, a name I’ve been called before and now have grown to love since people started comparing me to another singer) his lovely wife, Dawn and her +1, Becks and her +1, Boombastic and I’m sure I’m missing loads more. We took nice photos of ourselves the beautiful people (yes this is me being snarky ) and I believe this is when we started the convo with Rasta Stan about his cool necklace. Any one who remembers records (you know those vinyl like discs that people use to listen to back when playing music on a player added a little bit of soul from the grooves and the needle, I digress) will remember his necklace. Its the thing you put in a 45 to play it on a player since they had such large holes (thats what she said ←- snarky). His wife had it made for him and I think thats pretty cool.



More and more boardies entered the fray or they were there and I just hadnt gotten around to them yet. Brasi, Bea, Musicdoc, the Indy’s, the Cats, Hubbity and a handful or more of people I didn’t know. Shauna being Shauna always reached out to know who they were on the board so she could put a face to a name. I did not, simply because (LURKER) it wouldn’t have made much sense to me anyways. At some point a massive boardie photo was taken and as you can see I’m not in it. Basically because I was taking the photo.

Eventually I entered into a conversation with M Catz and it was steadily interrupted by a comical exchange between Steve and Bea where she swore before the night was over she would own his shirt and matter of factly he reassured her she would not. I think Mr catz won that one.

Did some one say RUM Cake. I have to admit I was just about tempted to take this entire cake and hide it. Who cares if anyone else besides those I deem worthy get a piece. I only care about more for me, well and more for my wife. But we did share the wealth with everyone (its possible my cake slice might have been bigger than other peoples).

There was so much going on it seemed that when it came time to go we hadn't even met everyone. But my bromey (homey + bro) wasn't there and we needed to find them at catcha before they left us. We jumped on the scooters and headed home

[booger]

LOL! He didn't do it when I ate there last month so I called him over and said "Hey Bentley, can you tell us what is on our plate.?" "How could me forget" he said and next thing you know the animation started. I look forward to eating there on my next trip. If you need a pasta fix his spaghetti and meatballs kicks ass.
