To continue on recapping all that has happened in the past it was exactly one year ago to this date I was in Cayman. There is much I can write about the two weeks I spent on the island of Grand Cayman but I will try to keep it light. I stayed in a hotel close to their famous "7 Mile Beach" just North of the capital Georgetown. Being a Jamaican and all I was never impressed when I heard

It is late and I do not particularly feel like thinking so I shall not be recapping any of the bulleted points of what I did over the last two years but I will leave you with the photo of the oh so lovely Kingston harbor below(you can thank me later for cropping out the floating debris with my mad gimp skills). I don't know about y'all but I'm going to the beach this weekend. It is the same

As I mentioned before, I lost some of my wisdom in my fist surgery ever. My dentist had been trying to get me to remove all four of my wisdom teeth and I have been putting it off as I was not into throwing my money at some monster who wants to inflict pain on me. That being the case I stuck his referral to the dental surgeon on my fridge and it sat their for years getting tattered. I had a

Well I must apologize for being noticeably absent from this page but I had good reason, I'll get into that in a later post. This is just an update of a few of things I consider note worthy that occurred in the past 19 or so months of this blackout. It may be out of order but I'll try my best. Zoe, my daughter for those of you who don't know, turned one! I lost a bit of wisdom with my first

Happy birthday Santa! A couple years ago I was 'Traveling' via google earth and I came across a Sinterklaas celebration that occurs on this day. How odd. It looked like Santa, the concepts were the same as Santa but the dates where wrong. The long and short of it was that the Santa that I grew up to is based off this Dutch version of St. Nicholas. Every year since then I have always had it in

Two posts in one month! holiday has been good to me. I spent the last few days in Portland giving my daughter her a proper introduction to my true love, the beach. She saw so many beaches in such a few days it was crazy, Frenchman's Cove, San San bay, Boston Bay, Long Bay and finally she stamped her name in the Visitors book of the Morant Point Lighthouse at the east most point of our little

This is not my garden, I am somewhere in middle Jamaica approximately 2100 feet above sea level in a cool and windy Manchester. For some reason I have no courses scheduled(and more importantly no projects outstanding) for the next couple of weeks so I made the best of this odd occasion and took two weeks off work. I plan to make the most of these few days off and plan to tour this little isle a

It has been two months without a post and yep I said it, finding time to write a post is me slacking off. There is so much to do house work school work baby work work work standby work overtime work sidejob work Even my books are no longer balanced don't be fooled though, they are still mostly correct.

My civic had served me well for the past 6 years but it was time for a change, when I bought this car I wanted something high performance and sporty. I have always wondered what my next car would be, I didn't really fancy any of the new cars on the market that I could afford. The civic still runs fine but I am very weary of such an old car that has been through so much. Seeing as I had a young

Who knew the importance of a rubber ducky? the little monster now splashes and kicks up a storm if she doesn't have her bath toys to distract her. FYI that is not a rubber duck it is a rubber chicken.. really now? she also has a sheep and a few other oddball animals. The cow is my favorite. mooo!

Who knows what that is? Give up? it's a swing check valve I bought last week to replace a spring check valve that is on the outlet of my water tank that is preventing me from getting the last few liters of water that potentially remain in my tank. To back track a bit let me bring everybody up to speed for those of you who do not live in Kingston, Jamaica. We are currently going through an

As with my usual tradition I was at the UWI Mona ring road Carnival event today. Unlike the other years things have changed though. First of all I actually belonged there, I stepped out class around 4:30pm and things were just getting kicked off. I heard them advertise it a few times on the radio leading up to this so I came prepared with my EOS body, 50mm and 135mm M42 lenses, this is the other

*sigh* It is almost 1am and I am at work yet again. I was in the middle of watching the hurt locker(great movie so far) and I got the call to come in. meh. My work here is just to watch the building services people flip between JPS, UPS and all sorts of combinations of bypass while my servers go flip flop waiting for the power to settle. All is well though, I haven't blogged in a bit for good

I was looking for an exciting photo to reintroduce myself to blogsphere and I could only find pictures of my daughter. I am not sure if it is sad that all the photos I have taken in the last 2+ months are of the same theme. Tonight is my first entire night alone with my daughter and thus far she has been mostly well behaved. She just woke up and I fed her with formula for the first time. I

It was a few hours after my last post and was now 3:30am.I was awoken by groans from a mommy to be ready to pop so it was off to the hospital.The wait was not long(for me) and at 5:33am out pops a pink hot mess that immediately starts crying.Hello WorldShe makes the cutest faces.I now spend my mornings before work trying to dodge projectile poop while we bath her.

I would like to introduce a 36 hour day.It is now the end of September and this is my first post. The last time I wrote a post I was living at my old apartment, I am now fully moved and almost finished settling in. As with every other procedure that involves the Jamaican government offices I could not get the new place certified in time but I still had to move since I gave notice. I ended up

Did I mention that I had an intern? the key word being had.I did mention that they were slashing 20% of my department at work and that some how maths out to one person with that person being my coworker. We had the same job title, worked at the same level and sat in the same large empty room alone in a mostly abandoned building downtown for many years. I always figured that he was my competition

I think the first Holocaust movie I watched was 'The pianist' a few years ago. I don't remember much about it but I remember that I liked it very much. Recently I started watching the HBO series Band of Brothers and my interest on that time in history awoke again. Since then I have watched:ValkyrieThe boy in striped pyjamasSchindler's listI've always heard about Schindler's list, never saw it on

I got a phone call, she wanted to return a few misc. items of mine.It was now the afternoon of day two 2009.She rejected my offer to pick up my stuff the next time I was on the road later on in the week, she wanted to pass by now and be rid of me. She explained that she called everybody and told them the news. By everybody I mean she called all of her family and friends none of which I met. They

I often walk around with my camera but I do not often feel the urge to take pictures. It is kind of a horrible waste given my camera+lens weighs like 1+ lbs to drag it on the road and drag it back home with nothing new. What is even worst is even if I take shots they sit on the memory card or on my computer never to see the light of day again. I have a 6" digital photo frame in my room but that
