Gay Madness & Heterosexual Pride

A Straight Pride Parade will roll out on August 31, 2008 in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, just one day ahead of the annual Caribbean Labor Day Parade.

In a press release sent out recently by members of the reggae community, who have organized this event as a response to gay groups coming down hard on some dancehall music; the parade was justified as being, "...a chance for Heterosexuals to gather together and proudly embrace their sexuality. The Parade will also allow reggae and dancehall fans who are in New York City for the Labor Day celebrations to get together and celebrate reggae, dancehall and family in love and unity. Adults are encouraged to bring their children along for the celebrations, as the event will be family oriented."
Not only have gay groups launched massive global advocacies against what they call reggae's long history of gay intolerance, they have also been successful in hitting artists hard, in the pocket, by pushing for show cancellations. Their aim is reportedly to stop reggae and dancehall artists from promoting anti-gay violence, harassment and bigotry through lyrics. The release said further: "Gay friends and gay relatives must be left at home or worse kept in the closet." I just keeping y'all informed as to what is going on in the Reggae community. We should have known that those lyrics like " bun chi chi man , dead" not gonna fly in the US with all those gay folk running around. I still don't understand why caribbean people have such a low tolerance for gays, it baffles me because we all know, GT is filled with them anyways , might as well accept it. I prefer to let them come out so I know who is who. (lol) Because I know of MANY men walking around GT with wives and whole ass load of pickney and they still running after MAN. I just keeping it real.

US Top Ten Freaky Sex Laws

If Guyana thinks enforcing some sex laws is daunting; they would have a heck of a time dealing with the following.

1. Oral sex is illegal in 18 states, including Arizona.
2. In Virginia, it is illegal to have sex with the lights on.
3. It is illegal for husbands in Willowdale, Oregon, to talk dirty during intercourse.
4. Sexual intercourse between unmarried couples is illegal in Georgia.
5. Engaging in any sexual position other than missionary is illegal inWashington DC.
6. In Connorsville, Wisconsin, it is illegal for a man to shoot off a gun when his female partner is having an orgasm.
7. In Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, it is illegal to have sex with a truckdriver inside a toll booth.
8. Having sexual relations with a porcupine is illegal in Florida. (and dangerous at that)
9. It is illegal in Utah to marry your first cousin before the age of65.
10.Sex with animals is perfectly legal for men in Washington state, as long as the animal weighs less than 40 pounds.

Vodoo and Rhianna

I know i am late with this but there are stories circulating recently that Chris Brown's mother feels Rihanna used Vodoo on her son. We need to do some thorough investigation to find out if voodoo is a common practice in Barbados, fah real. Probably that is why most of the population got tie tongue and are homosexuals, vodoo at its best. According to Chris' mother the relationship is moving way too quickly, so she feels that Rihanna must have done something to make her son fall so deeply for her. Well, if Rihanna has strong Caribbean blood running through her veins "she know weh fi do fi hold har man, She nuh need nuh voodooo fi do dat".

Banning Death Announcements..!

According to the popular blog, Living Guyana, they received a scoop from a source at "Government Information Agency indicating that the President Bharrat Jagdeo will ban death announcements from radio and television in Guyana with effect from August 1st 2008. This ban comes into effect because President Jagdeo is concerned that death announcements are too negative and make people unhappy therefore he is removing those from the airwaves." (Giggles) He probably realized that no where else in the world, do people publish or broadcast the names and pictures of the dead. I always found it amusing myself, however I have to admit my grandmother loved looking at Death Announcements, ritualistically she would put on the TV and look for old classmates and friends she hadn't seen in years. It seems as though attending funerals, became her past time which entailed bringing out her finest frock and classiest hats. I guess when you get older, anything is a worthy occasion to get dressed up for. So what will all the convalescent people do now, how will they know the schedule of events or whether or not a " soul funeral" is on, during the week. Presi trying to jack up, the entire social life of our OLD people or what? A word of advice, it is not nice to piss off old people, by turning off their favorite daytime / night time entertainment, you don't know what grumpy old people are capable of, we already have enough crazy people on the streets.

Fishy Pedicures...

Seems as though "Fish pedicures" are creating headlines in the D.C. area, where a northern Virginia spa has been offering them for the past four months. John Ho, who runs the Yvonne Hair and Nails salon with his wife, Yvonne Le, said 5,000 people have taken the plunge so far. He said he wanted to come up with something unique while finding a replacement for pedicures that use razors to scrape off dead skin. The razors have fallen out of favor with state regulators because of concerns about whether they're sanitary. Ho was skeptical at first about the fish, which are called Garra Rufa but typically known as doctor fish. They were first used in Turkey and have become popular in some Asian countries.The fish don't do the job alone. After 15 to 30 minutes in the tank, customers get a standard pedicure, made easier by the soft skin the doctor fish leave behind. Ho believes his is the only salon in the country to offer the treatment, which costs $35 for 15 minutes and $50 for 30 minutes. Lawd, next thing you will see all these Guyanese women putting their feet in "gutta water" to let the grass carp or patwa nibble nibble at their toes. Not me I rather go with raggedy toes for a week until I get together my little pittance to go and get a proper pedicure. But them Asians know how to do nails though, is a pity those strains of asians coming to GT are only restaurateurs and not Hair/Salon specialists.

Look Alikes

Queen Latifah's girlfriend Jeanette Jenkins looks a lot like this young lady who was spotted at the Lollipop party at Blue Iguana a few weeks back. Don't see the resemblance, then click here for another picture to confirm or here.

Guess Who ...

A popular sports person apparently had a bit too much to drink for their own good last friday night, at the Black and White affair. It was evident to many, since the person staggered away obviously intoxicated, I hope the person didn't drive themselves home, because we all should take heed, a lot of accidents are occurring on the bank these days. The person's alleged ex was also on site, behaving like someone in HEAT. People claim the so called sports person has been known to have a drinking problem in the past. That should explain why, the person is so accident prone during matches, with all the liqueur they consume it is easy to get superficial injuries on a regular.

Inefx...... strange website

Inefx claims they are " focused on the development of Young Guyanese, Musicians, DJs, Artists, Promoters, Models and Culture. The site is dedicated to giving these individuals and Country the type of exposure they need to succeed in their respective industries." Interesting so in short, they promote all Guyanese " Socialites" and wanna be "Stars."see here. I not hating, I am impressed with their initiative, however I am a true believer, if you are going to claim something please, do deliver. I also see that the photo of the week is also the photo of " The last 2 months" see here.

Music Awards ( The GMA's) hahahha

I've heard about this, "Guyana Music Awards," since June, but wasn't too moved by the buzz. The event is charted for November 30 and Guyanese are expected to dress up in their finest and funniest "Dan Dans", be photographed while pretending to be big shots, before they enter the so called "biggest awards gala" GT has ever seen. Sounds like fun !!! Come on, how many artiste do we really have, prepare yourself for a really short show. Need I remind y'all the last time we tried to recreate a show it was a total BUST, "Guyana's Next top Model", Ghetto Ass Show was a disaster in the making. The show ended up with one person unconscious, one man behaving like a total idiot and the DIVA soaked in water, it was a utter embarrassment.
This so called Music Awards of Guyana will reward artistic excellence in the music industry. The show according to promoters, is geared towards their "strategic efforts to promote Guyana, through its rich and diverse arts and cultures." Doesn't make sense to me, to promote Guyanese Culture and Arts to Guyanese people, we already know all there is to know. And we all know that ain't nobody flying into Guyana just to see Timeka and Celeste. Maybe they should have done a Caribbean/Guyana Music Award Show to coincide with Carifesta, that would have been a bit more create and exciting........and would have promoted Guyana regionally, at the same time. I JUST SAYING.

Dregding channels.

I see Guyana has acquired a new $40 million dollar Pontoon, to accommodate dredging equipment. Very interesting, the last time I witnessed dredging of the channels, it was done with such inexperience. When disposing of the debris, they didn't take into consideration tides and where they dumped the waste, but it is apparent that it found it's way back inland, in the middle of the Demerara river, in West Watooka. Now this is just another reason why it is dangerous to commute via boat on these rivers. Have a look at these children, walking on water in the Demerara river, I thought I wasn't seeing correct. Now we shouldn't wonder what causes all those mysterious boating accidents anymore..... all those damn ass sand banks that are popping up across the country.

What the **** !!!

Looks like Timeka struggling to hold in, a serious dose of shittings. I couldn't make it to The Court Yard for the promotion but I heard she didn't sound all that bad this time around. Kudos to her. I guess she is actually putting her mouth (vocal chords) to better use these days.......... y'all know what I talking about, don't play stupid.

Oh Lawd... Migrating Birds

Just when I thought I heard it all, an idiot does this, "A passenger on a flight from Guyana was charged recently with smuggling 13 finches (Twa Twa ) into the United States to use in bird-singing contests. the birds were found in the luggage of Mr. McClean at JKF, hidden inside curlers." What an idiot, I wonder what his defense will be, "He was trying to help the birds on their migratory trip." (giggles)I damn and well know, that dem birds not in any hurry to migrate to the US. This just confirms the lengths Guyanese would go to, to get things into the Almighty USA. (lol) With all these smuggling incidences they might start to ban curlers now, we better watch out. All that Achar and Pepper sauce might be the next to go, we aint learn , it is not good to get dem White Folk vex.

Sponge Bob, Winchester and Ce'cile ... weird combo

According to Gt Vibes, "From 2pm to 5pm kids can get to see Spongebob Square pants and Dora the Explorer perform every hour! These characters comes with the compliments of Tons of Fun Entertainment Company. They will also have a fun station set up with standees of WWE characters such as Rey Mysterio, John Cena and others which kids can take pictures with. In between performances the crowd will be entertained by popular sound systems, Emcees Mr Chow Pow, Malcolm Ferreira, Shurwayne Winchester, Serani, Ce'cile and others! These intermittent performances will only be short interactions and not the actual performance that the artists will be doing in the evening segment. "I am a bit confused why are they mixing Sponge Bob with Shurwayne and Ce'cile dem? I keep telling these people you shouldn't mix little kiddies show with big people wine session. We all know there will be a few drunken men and women acting a damn fool in the place, regardless if you keep the session in the afternoon. I sure not gonna take my pickney to that show, so some stranger gonna try touch up my child. As soon as those perverts see, Sponge bob will be there, they have an excuse to go to the show even if they don't have any children to take to the show, that place will be swarming with perverted pedophiles.

WILD FIRE FEST ( Black & White Affair)

Artists are arriving today, 25th July, Pre-show events are scheduled to start up tonight. The Artists will be live on NCN ( Ch 11) at 9 pm and aired via 98.1 Hot FM. A Black and White party which will be held at Palm Court (The Courtyard), which has been deemed invitational only but we all know that is crap. Just wear something Black and White and pay the entrance fee and they will let you in fah sure. All the popular Hoochies, Gold diggers, Opportunists, Prostitutes and Cheap Ass Whores will be on site, no doubt about that. So don't miss out on the action.

Drug Mule ......Phenomenon

Desperate times, calls for desperate measures. Guyana is known for the "Mule/Donkey Farm Industry." This is nothing new, I am not surprised that another young woman got brainwashed into taking drugs, out of the country. I am almost certain, the money Miss Ameriah Mitchell was hoping to make on one trip alone, was double what she earns in a year as a " Cosmetologist ." There are Mules all around us, I am not kidding. When a loaf of bread and a bag of tennis roll coming up to $400, that is excluding the cheese (you know ya' need cheese with tennis roll), people start to get desperate. This case is just another person, seeing an opportunity- a fast way to make an Ugly Penny. Her attorney is the famous Mark Waldron, not surprised he took the case either, I am beginning to believe that all the guilty people are offered a short list of attorneys they are allowed to pick, I just Keeping it Real. Remember the Law Student at UG who went to the next level and had the Drugs strapped to her body. Let me educate y'all " She got off with out any jail time and to add insult to injury, remember the drugs were strapped to her body, "Now if she can get off, then I damn sure, Miss Ameriah can get off.

In with the "Geezers, " Out with the " Young boys"

There is a new phenomenon in Guyana where young girls in their 20’s are only looking to date " geezers" who are rich and influential in our society. It seems like these young girls are starting to show this opportunist tendency from the time they complete high school at age 16 or 17. However I am not going to judge these girls, since I've noticed they are able to acquire big old cars, house, diamonds and pearls without having to work a normal 9 to 5, like some of us. The smart ones who use their brains and milk the old geezer for all he's got, actually end up with Masters and high flying jobs. Pimp Pimp Girls!!!

" Grow More" was introduced by Robert !!!!

The person who designed this cover for the Grow More campaign, clearly had fun with it. I had a hard time distinguishing,who was who on the cover. In response to an article written on Living Guyana, which referenced an article in The Guyana Chronicle by Shirley Thomas: "The Grow More Food Campaign was introduced about four months ago by the Minister of Agriculture in response to the challenges that were arising as a result of rising food prices." Living Guyana made mention that the Minister seems to want to take all the credit for this initiative.Well from what I heard and saw, at the Grow More Food Festival, if i was the President I wouldn't mind blaming the catastrophe on the Minister, either. If Robert wants to take credit let him go right ahead, the entire initiative is a waste of time. They are blind sighted giving farmers small packets of seeds, expecting it to change the entire food shortage problem. How naive of them to assume this. When the little number of seeds finish then what, no long term solutions are being introduced, what a waste of time. Government should look into controlling / regulating market pricing and try compensating farmers, so as to avoid price hikes. This would be a better way to combat the rising prices. Not just to share out 10 seeds and expect it will make a difference. What idiots !!!!! Schhhh let Robert take the credit, it doesn't make him look any smarter in my eyes.

Look alikes ( Stan Gouevia's twin )

Stan Gouevia looks like RuPaul in a weird kind of a way. RuPaul is an American drag performer,dance music singer, actor and songwriter who gained fame in the 1990s; appearing in a wide variety of television programs, films, and musical albums. Stan may be a darker chocolate version but I can see the resemblance. So if Stan decides to go under cover, y'all know what to look for. Because rumor around town speculates, Stan into Man.... we keeping it real.

Chinese Invasion

Guyanese continually complain about the number of people leaving these shores in search of a better life, venturing off to places like Canada, and the US. However for some people, Guyana is considered "paradise". Just like the Brazilian invasion on Robb and Regent Street. I seeing one set of Chinese popping up all over the place. Alot of them look, like they just came off the boat and I am not talking about one of those 39 Immigrant boats in the eighteen hundreds. I heard that there was a fatal boat accident involving illegal Chinese but it never made headlines. Some big time pays offs had to be made in that "hush hush cover up", cause y'all know Guyanese love a good gossip. We should all be careful though, with the over population in China, they looking for vulnerable lands to go and inhabit. So with all the "Ajinomoto " they serving us guyanese in their "dutty fried rice" I don't think it is coincidence. Chinese smart as hell, they getting rid of us locals to make room for their chini counterparts, because we all know they don't eat the same food they serve us. That should be a sign something ain't right with the food, serving locals, banned substances should be a cause for ALARM. According to Mr Pichai, former head of the chemistry department of Chulalongkorn University, " Apart from causing allergies, excess consumption of MSG could lead to risks for people suffering from kidney, high blood pressure or heart problems, over- indulgence in MSG could also affect pregnant women and lead to brain clots in children.

Sweet Woman craze......

Sweet woman craze in Guyana has gone to another level. Politicians, Pastors, authors and so called MBA acclaimed entrepreneurs are all getting in on the action. I had a sighting last weekend at Palm Court, a "talk man" in society had his sweet woman by his side. "The Hope for our Nation " is dwindling, traditionally the sweet woman was kept under lock and key and the wife made public appearances. More so roles have changed and the sweet woman is now becoming the show piece. Politicians best take heed these woman are just out to ride the "wave".

Poor "Gordon Big Batty Mosley"

El Presi strikes again, by impeding the "Freedom of Speech Act" to cater to his own ego. Our well known " Gordon Big Batty Mosley "was recently banned from the Office of the President and State House because he allegedly made "disparaging and disrespectful" remarks against the Head of State and Commander and Chief of the Armed Forces. I thought that one of the elements of a democratic society is freedom of speech and freedom of press, I don't know what getting into our Presi. As I predicted before he probably PMSing or experiencing a Mid life Crisis. What ever it may be, it is hampering with his judgment. His behaviour reminds me of little children on a play ground, where the little spoiled child runs to mommy every time another child says or does something that he doesn't like.

Extra Ingredients

I received an insider scoop the other day, from an ex-employee of a prominent Hotel in Georgetown. They are numerous reasons why you don't want to be, a full out BIATCH to someone who has to handle your food. You never know what unwanted ingredients they will add when you are not looking. So if you know you just "cuss up" your waiter and he smiling a tad too much while serving your food, y'all better think twice about eating it. Let your imagination run wild,these are just a few things that may have happen to you if you piss off the waiter; Some employees don't wash their hands, some may take a nibble of your food and then serve it to you, drop it on the floor and still serve it to you, sneeze, cough or pick nose and serve the food, rub food on kitchen counter before serving, or employees cut their finger nails off (accidentally) and leave it in your food. Some even go so far as adding bodily fluids. So trust me when i say, stay off the bitchy attitude when going to a food establishment. I just keeping it real... and I did get this information from a former HIGH ranked employee. (Yummie) " So when y'all running home with a belly ache don't say, GT Keep Real ain't warn y'all"

Haterade of the Week

I swear, Guyana is becoming more westernize every day. Just last week I was browsing through the websites Gtvibes and Inefx when I realized it was not just a figment of my imagination, but we are having young people in our society who are becoming socialites. They grace parties with their presence every weekend and it seems a party won’t be able to make a name for itself, if they are not there. Soon HJTV might have to launch a new show called "Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous- Guyanese Style," toasting to, Rum wishes and Marijuana dreams. I know, I am hating but I simply just couldn’t help myself.

Estate Royale

This has been Nagging me, all weekend. The commercial for a new " Wine Cooler or Rum Punch" called Estate Royale. I haven't tasted it as yet, but from the acting alone I am afraid to try it. There are three women around a table, drinking and gossiping it is supposedly Ladies Night. But they are at home and the place outside looks like it is 4 o' clock in the afternoon. This cheap commercial is comprised of three ladies, one who got you wondering "if she got tie tongued or she just a bit slow," because I damn well know, she wasn't talking like that because she was high. The second lady apparently got problems with her husband because when he came into the scene, he looked like he hesitating to hug and kiss his wife. The third lady was suffering from "poor acting syndrome" but i didn't pay much attention to her, since I was still baffled by Miss Tie Tongue speech pattern. And to make things worse "Miss Tie Tongue" picking up the liquor bottle to take home. (Damn man) If you going to make an advertisement, at least make it realistic. You know nobody ain't gonna pick up a bottle of liquor to take home, she better know that, if she did that, it would be the last time my ass inviting her to my house. "Is when I catch my self, when the ad was done, i was left with my mouth open in amazement."I just keeping it real..... y'all know the ad Stupid.

We have to " Notify"

A friend of mine upon reading of the "Woolford Avenue Scandal" said " In our communities there should be a notification campaign whenever we have members of the Sodom and Gomorrah clan around us. In an effort to safe guard citizens, family, loved ones, and our young boy and girl children, fliers should be posted on lightening posts, coconut trees and minibuses when members of the "clan" move into our neighborhoods. " A few of my friends had a field day with this, rolling with laughter. However I am all for equality and freedom to express ones individuality and sexuality. But this notify system is in full swing, in the US, most communities get notified when a rapist or pedophile moves into their neighborhood. But putting up fliers if a man decides to come out of the " Closet " may be over doing the do.

"Grow more" not "Thief More"

I recently decided to take a look at the Guyana Times website, since Living Guyana always makes mention of it. I found an article published in last week's paper, talking about a man who thieving cherry. According to the Big shot newspaper "It was alleged that on July 7 at Camp Street, Rudolph Singh unlawfully and maliciously cut parts of a growing Suriname Cherry tree which is the property of Robert White." The accused claimed “I pick up two cherries and the man come and tell me the magistrate en tell you to pass here straight. He held on to me and took me to the police station and today they bring me to court.” ( laughing) I want to know , Like Guyana Times run out of stories to write so they actually waste their time to report, on a man who pick up two cherries. (laughs) With the price of food, even Topco fruit juices increase in price. with this rise in prices and the " Grow More" craze, a cherry worth as much as gold. "Lawd I never thought that the day would come when a man tek another to court for two cherries." I got to be careful, I was eying up my neighbour mango tree up to yesterday.

What even worse the prosecutor, Denise Griffith even asked, that bail be refused because she is afraid the accused will commit the same act. (giggles) what a joke holding a man for cherries.
What a damn shame !!!! I would understand if he took his tub and started selling from right under the tree on the road side , but damn two cherry.

BBC Documentary " Trouble in Paradise"

I read sometime ago, that the BBC was given unprecedented access to the President and his then Ministers of Cabinet, to film a documentary on life in Guyana. I am not sure if this was done to show the IMF and other International bodies that Guyana was in urgent need of debt relief and aid but never have I seen, my country portrayed in such a negative light . This program, was presented by veteran BBC journalist and broadcaster according to BBC " he brings his inimitable insight and humor to each of his destinations." I think Bharrat should have investigated and researched this reporters past work more rigidly before allowing this in depth, full access into our country.
In the documentary, Bharrat wanted to be shown as a president for “the people” but instead was highlighted as a man who is aloof, micro manages, authoritative and too immature for his position. The documentary shows, RIP Satyadeo Sawh combing his mustache before a meeting. RIP George Bacchus talked about his brother’s death, crime in Guyana and of course the controversy and corruption with then Minister Gajraj. To add insult to injury " Manzoor Nadir and his family were filmed mourning the death of a family Cat" What the f…k was that? Gail was seen trying to avert the attention of the members of the Cricket World Cup Committee when a big truck blocked the East Bank Road. According to the BBC documentary "Leslie Ramsammy is convinced the spread of the disease (HIV/ AIDS) will be curbed if sex workers form a collective, he sends his public relations officer out at night to meet prostitutes and invites them to the ministry for a meeting. He is even prepared to allow US Christian missions to supplement some of Guyana's health services." that is just funny to me that they included this in an international documentary. If my memory serves me correctly, a few years back some Indo-Guyanese went on Oprah and compared Guyana to Cambodia. (disloyal ass migrants)
The damn stories in this documentary are too numerous and humorous to mention. I knew my dear old Guyana was impoverished. But Damn, never to the extent as highlighted in this documentary. This programme is a must see and I hope Channel 7 does a rebroadcast for all those who missed it.

Vacancy for Puri Makers !!!

We need to thank the new Minister of Foreign Affairs on her latest press release, advising Guyanese to be careful when applying for overseas jobs, being advertised in the local news papers. However, Carolyn was a little late with this advice, since I am sure scores of Guyanese were already lured/deceived into leaving “Deh Bad Guyana" with no jobs at all, to take the opportunity of becoming Puri Makers, Waitresses and Receptionists. These jobs claim to offer wages ranging from $80,000 and upwards, only to find themselves in prostitution rings with no apparent way out. It is just sad that crooks can spot the desperation of Guyanese a mile away and have the confidence to advertise their scam blatantly in our newspapers. Guyana has a far way to go to combat Human Trafficking.

Scandalous "Guess who"

Can you guess who is involved in this rumor? "Dem people say that a big big man in Guyana has some romantic affiliation with a lady covering the book of numbers." This story surprises me since I never thought this beautiful lady is the “big man” type although she has been previously linked to a few high rollers in our society. I hope she gets all she can out of this “affiliation” while it lasts because I surely know he is getting his cake and eating it too, hahaha.

Miss Universe

Well by the looks of it, Guyana would have never had a fighting chance to make the top cut anyways. So at least we saved ourselves some money and disgrace by not sending a contestant this year. Now, since the closest country to Guyana, with similar culture, is the twin island republic of Trinidad and Tobago- even if they don't like "we Guyanese," I decided to give you a video clip of what a poised answer looks and sounds like. You can see at least a year of training went into preparing her for random questions. Have a look Miss Trinidad and Tobago impromptu video at the Miss Universe Competition. I not even gonna comment on her national costume," look like you can poke yah eye out with that thing."

Picture: Miss Universe Website

Guyanese talent

Vanilla's look is unique for the music industry, she doesn't fit into the stereotypical category- light skinned, stick figure girl. However she is symbolic of what a real Guyanese woman looks like. I would love to encourage her management/advisers/publicist to get her more air play, she has talent. Y'all got Tameka taking all the headlines, every channel I turn to Tameka on every other advertisement. What a shame, because we all know Tameka can't sing, "is only her legs for days and whoring ways" got her this far.

Blind man opening school.

I stumbled across an interesting article in the Kaieteur News paper this morning. Apparently a blind man has intentions of opening a private school on the East Coast Railway Embankment. What amazes me is that, even the blind can see, private schools are the only " clean" money making gold mines in GT. At first glance, because the heading claimed he was a " French teacher" I instantly thought he was a Nigerian who lived in French Guiana or France and has come to Guyana to continue his "defrauding spree." Dont pretend y'all never heard of "Dem Nigerians" we all heard stories of those Nigerian con artists. ( giggles) However I do give him his props, although I hope it is not just another case of " the blind leading the blind, " No " pun" intended I swear.

Kayaking in Guyana, who knew !

This clip is hilarious, I just wanted to share it with y'all. This may be, the next best thing, to lour tourists to the shores of Guyana. I hope the tourism minister not taking advise from Gerry on this issue. From the looks of it, Gerry should stick to flying little planes.

Gerry Gouveia "Jack of all Trades"

Every where you turn, this man popping up, every article you read, he has his two cents to add. Has he been named Ambassador or Adviser to Guyana and I missed the press release? It kills me, that newspapers rush to get his opinion just to make the article seem lengthy and newsworthy. It is like asking a little Cessna Pilot in America to comment on a billion dollar Commercial Airliner. Who does that !!!! Does his opinion really matter, lets be honest with our selves. He commented on the recent delta fiasco this is what he said, " under such conditions whenever the air hostess serves drinks, people with their own supplies would drink as much as five times what is served".( giggles) Is he speaking from personal experience, while flying with large commercial airliners, because I know his airline doesn't offer an in flight refreshment service. As for typical Guyanese behavior, and personal experience, it is common to see people ( Guyanese or Non Guyanese) who are traveling, to bring back alcohol for family and not to "Gulp" it all up on the plane.

Geriatrics on the "Prowl"

What in the world!!! Just when you thought, your Grandpa was too old to do the naughty naughty, this happens. Two old geezers apparently all high on Viagra, sought it fit to molest a 14 year old girl, both on separate occasions. According to reports the Magistrate was concerned about one of the men's age and his feebleness. "Since when, is age a major factor when sentencing in a crime, especially in gt" They should take into consideration that his feebleness didn't stop him from harming a child. Lock his ass up.... old pervert. As for the other 70 yr old pervert , lock him up as well, nasty ass men.

Lifetime Ban.. Damn

There are rumors circulating that there may be a lifetime ban in store for the passenger who deployed the emergency shoot on a Delta flight last week. Who the hell cares, Delta should just ban the man and finish. He knows he was wrong, regardless of whether he was drunk or just being an ass. I wonder if other airlines will follow suit and ban him as well, if that is the case he will be stranded in GT, forever. (laughs). Yeah right, Caribbean Airlines probably grinning and smiling behind their counters, they know they are guaranteed of getting a frequent flyer now for life, more business for them.

Translation please...

Lady Saw has been deemed " Dancehall ace female deejay," aka Marion ‘Lady Saw’ Hall, recently apologized to her local fans for her absence this year from the premier reggae festival, Sumfest. Apparently Lady Saw will be touring Europe, yeah you heard correct. " I hope she took an interpreter with her, because lord knows i don't understand her sometimes, mush less those white folk."

Her hectic first week schedule includes performances at some major reggae concerts including the Roskilde Festival in Koln, Germany, on July 4, on July 5 she will be in France at the Eurockennes Festival and then on July 6 in Amsterdam, Holland at Two Sevens Splash. In Frankfurt on July 8 and then the tour moves to Zurich, Switzerland for another event called Moods and then on to Italy for the Rototom Festival, which will have a Dancehall Night for the first time in its history, No kidding!

Saw will also perform in Spain, where she did a show earlier this year, return to France for Toulouse Salle le Ramier, move on to Solvakia for the Trencin Pohoda Festival with a return to Switzerland, on July 19, after which she moves on to Belgium on July 20 for the Dour Festival.

Damn, she really working her ass off. I have to commend her, regardless whether or not her fans understand her lyrics she is truly committed to her trade. Kudos to you, Miss Saw.

Lil Wayne @ Sumfest

Oh Lawd, just because the little Gansta midget was nominated for a Grammy, the Jamaicans decided to invite his ass to Sumfest 2008 which begins on Friday July 18.

Dwayne Michael Carter Jr, good thing he found a more gangsta name because no one would take him seriously with that " white god given name." His career was well boosted with his affiliation to Cash Money Records, so in 1999 Lil Wayne released his first solo album Tha Block is hot, which debuted at number three on the Billboard charts. Then he went on to collaborate with the Big Tymers to produce the international hit “Bling Bling”.

Have to admit i loved that Jam " Every time I come around they see Bling Bling" lol . But i never wasted my three cents to buy any of his albums though.

Tha Carter III, which was released in 2008 brought him great acclaim the album's first single “Lollipop” became his first number one hit on the “Billboard charts” and broke records as it sold over a million copies in its first week alone, an accomplishment that hasn’t been made by any artist, let alone a rap artist, since 2005.

Now that I think about it, I hope that being an ex-convict or being arrested on drug and possession of paraphernalia, are not the main criteria for performing at Sumfest. Because if my memory serves me correctly both Lil wayne and T- Pain were arrested on similar charges not too long ago.

Sumfest 2008 lineup

Grammy winning Hip-Hop entertainer T-Pain has been added to the Hot lineup for Reggae Sumfest 2008. T-Pain's music is a cross between both Hip-Hop and R&B; the result, the smash hit singles “I’m Sprung” and “I’m In Love with a Stripper”. The album “Rappa Ternt Sanga” was an instant success with the single " I’m Sprung” which peaked at number eight on the Billboard Top 100 Charts, selling over 800,000 copies.

We all know, If he hadn't done a remix with Vybz, he would not have been invited to perform at Sumfest. (giggles)

In 2007, he released the album “Epiphany” which included club hits such as and “Buy You a Drink”“Bartender”. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard Charts. In 2008, now a platinum selling artiste, T-Pain’s tunes have taken over radio stations world-wide, making it impossible to escape the hit maker. He has managed to produce more chart topping hits in a four year period than many artists have been able to in an entire lifetime.

Who knew, that repeating 5 or 4 words will get you this far in the music industry. Moreover singing about strippers and getting drunk in the club. hmmm something to think about.

Wolford avenue action continues

My little fairy told me that the honorable Magistrate was not alone when this late night incident occurred. He apparently had company in the vehicle with him, well to much surprise it was alleged to be in the company of a young man when the fiasco broke out. No wonder he panicked and pulled for his gun he certainly had to put a quick end to what the police officer may have witnessed. What a mess, i just keepin' it real. However I also heard his wife was missing in action, at work after the story hit airways. I

Fidelity or Infidelity

We all heard about the story of Fidelity Investments who allegedly produced falsified documents to the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) two weeks ago. The company is expected to be charged this week in connection with a shipment of Polar beer two weeks ago even as a larger two-month-old probe of another consignment that snared senior Customs officials continues.

The most recent investigation came after custom officials detected that a low valuation was presented on behalf of Fidelity for the two containers of Polar beer two weeks ago. Several customs officials are currently being grilled over this. According to wikipedia the word fidelity means " a notion that at its most abstract level implies a truthful connection to a source or sources or its original meaning dealt with loyalty and attentiveness to one's duty." Very interesting, we may have to inform the owners that they forgot a few letters in their company name...... Infidelity..because they damn sure, ain't being loyal nor truthful (giggles)

Bob Marley family " Jamming."

Bob Marley has been dead for many years but his musical rhythms still play a major role in Caribbean and World culture. Mr. Jurek Zamoyski, the owner and founder of Jurek International Graphic, was in agreement with the Marley Companies to use his images on clothing and other objects. In 1999 Jurek's company ceased operations and terminated all agreements with the Marley Companies, ensuring none of his designs should be replicated.

To date Mr. Zamoyski alleges that Zion Rootswear, Fifty-Six Hope Road Music Ltd and Bob Marley Music Inc. have been replicating three of his copyrighted images of Bob Marley on T-shirts onto other objects without his consent and have been selling them worldwide. The three images that have been used are: "Rasta Dreads," "Lion Zion" and "Kaya Man". These images were all painted by Zamoyski. The images were licensed to Jurek International Graphic in the 1990's. Now hear this story, Jurek has approached the Marleys to get some of the royalties he thinks is legally his of course, but they refused to speak to his ass. Jurek's lawyer has tried resolving the issue with the Marley's but that too has proved unsuccessful. Well that should teach him not to mess with Jamaican's. lol Depending on his copyright contract which was dissolved in 1999, he better hope that the contract did stipulate that no one is permitted to reuse the images after it was dissolved. Because if that is not the case then he is screwed. He is such a money hungry Pole. Trust me, I not disagreeing I would sue them Marleys too.

Guyanese Look alikes.

Miss Angel Lola Luv (an american) she is a popular Hip Hop video model known for her horrendous ASSets (measurements are 34 C, 22, 40) . Her father is Trinidadian and mother is Ethiopian,she moved to the US at the tender age of 1 month. Lola luv became an international house hold name for many men when she graced magazine spreads such as King, BlackMen, XXL and Smooth. Miss Lisa (Guyanese), I see a striking resemblance, face wise. If you know of anyone that looks like a celebrity or someone famous please send in your pics via email to us.

Reckless driving

Stricter rules and regulations governing traffic laws should be set in place. Public transportation workers such as bus and taxi drivers should suffer harsher punishments for accidents and road fatalities. With the advent of two lane (so called four lane in Guyana) highways it has become apparent that Guyana's drivers tests are not geared towards these advancements. With harsher punishments, tougher tests and better implementation of training, in my opinion it will help to eliminate senseless road accidents and fatalities. As for drunk driving, government should look into training police officers to identify persons who are under the influence and teach them how to administer the proper sobriety tests to these individuals. Not even in high speed chases do cars in the United States end up looking like the picture below. Come on , the government needs to look into these things.

Drunk or Egotistical, your call.

Over the holiday weekend, a passenger on a Delta flight from NY, acted a damn fool. Apparently the passenger opened the emergency exit door, the disembarking line wasn't moving fast enough for him. If this occurred in the US, we all know they would have charged him for terrorist acts and would have searched his ass for weapons of mass destruction.(laughs) This ritual of partying the night before Guyanese fly is not a new phenomenon. So I am not surprised to hear, of stories of intoxicated passengers. For all we know he was feeling ill and wanted to get some fresh air or he simply had to go to the bathroom and couldn't hold it much longer. Another alternative, y'all know it can get stuffy in those tight cabins, even in First class. Don't get me wrong the passenger should be fined, for that behavior, but Delta should know better. Delta has the right to stop a passenger from boarding a flight if they seem incoherent and intoxicated. It was Delta's fault for allowing the passenger to board the plane in the first place. With all those security checks before boarding someone should have noticed the drunkard. But now this brings up another suspicion, if he wasn't drunk before boarding, he may have become drunk on the flight itself, shame shame to those naughty "air maids". All in all, if none of the criteria fit, maybe he was simply an obnoxious first class passenger, who considered himself to be better than the commoners in economy class.

Missing in Action !!!

Miss Hot shot Mya according to sources was supposed to host a show at a club in Barbados on Saturday, July 5th. But the diva was a no show at Club NXS. Considering that the Barbados Tourism Authority paid for her to come down and fly first class and put her up at Hilton - using TAXPAYERS money. What a damn mess.Mya ain't all that any more, why they fly her in anyways, it may have been easier to bring in Rhianna. But then again i heard she acting up as well.

Buddy's Hotel sold ........Rename that damn hotel.

Buddy's International has been officially sold according to reports. A hint from the wise,new management should rename the hotel. It is a hot mess when tourists or business men have to tell individuals where he/she is staying and the name sounds like a cheap hour rated motel. And taking into consideration that Carifesta is around the corner, they have to get their act together to welcome the presumed "millions" of visitors and tourists.(giggles)

Windies Sports Bar, a Hot Ass Mess, "Where is the chicken?"

Now, I love to promote Guyanese things whether art, culture, sports what ever the case may be. Enough is enough, I have a bone to pick with a so called "sports bar." Windies has a few lame photographs of sporting legends, stupid cocktail names and television sets, Kayleigh and David note to self...these articles do not automatically give you the right to call your establishment a 'sports bar'.

A close source revealed a recent encounter with this "bottom house". Apparently her and her significant other, ate there for lunch one Saturday. She made the dreadful mistake of ordering a club sandwich, which sounded enticing and delightful on the menu. Now after waiting an eternity for the sandwich, it came without 2 of the said ingredients. According to her, she was so hungry from the long wait she just decided not to make a fuss and eat her club sandwich that miraculously turned into an egg sandwich. Now after she finished they made mention of this to the waitress, that the chicken and bacon were missing from the order. The waitress didn't look surprised, but said she was sure that it had the ingredients, never the less she went into the kitchen to talk to the chef. She came back all discombobulated and said that she didn't know the chicken was left out and that the chef never told her anything.Apparently the chicken was spoiled. hmm interesting but the customer's significant other had a platter and it included chicken. Seems as though the chef had to do a toss up of who was going to get the last pieces of chicken.To cut a long story short they asked to speak to a manager. A woman with a digicel t-shirt and not so clean appearance approached, she claimed to be the cook /supervisor. The waitress and the cook went on to play the blame game with each other, the customers requested a reduced rate and the cook/supervised pronounced, without an apologetic tone but with a rather fresh and snobby manner, "Is not a big piece of chicken anyways, yah still want it. I can go and fry it up fah yah ". With carifesta around the corner i strongly advise Kayleigh (miss mayonnaise in curry lady) to invest in hospitality training for her staff. Don't waste your time eating at Windies, if you want a proper and cheaper club sandwich, and cooks that don't make you doubt or second guess eating their food, take a drive up to Grand Coastal in felicity on the east coast.

According to a top GT blog site ( livinguyana)"If we were to compare Windies to Trotters in Trinidad, Bubba’s in Barbados or Cuddyz in Jamaica it would fall by the wayside in a damn ass hurry. Let me give yall a run down of what this set up entails. Windies is a damn ‘bottom house’ establishment with a small balcony upstairs and outside. If you suffer from claustrophobia please be warned not to visit this establishment." The lower level has a ridiculously low ceiling that will be sure to make you sweat like a pig. "Kayleigh and her husband clearly went to the cheap side when investing in this place,to be able to view the action on nothing less than 52 inches. Cheap skates, invest in some plasma screens and more tasteful tables, The cheap, mass produced Chinese plates and cutlery looked as though they were bartered off some migrating housewife, from country. Surely the cultured Europeans could do better as they sought to bring a greater level of dining experience to the natives," according to a reputable blog site (livinguyana). White folk, why am i not surprised.

Boxing show down....

Big fights are scheduled for this evening, former world contender Howard Eastman and current national middleweight champion "Deadly" Denny Dalton clash this evening at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall.At 37 years, the Berbice-born Eastman who has twice fought unsuccessfully for world titles says he is looking forward to his first fight in Guyana and does not rule out continuing his career, although the former European champion has been written off by the international media. Eastman, who is a late replacement for another former world contender Raul Frank, told journalists that he was in perfect condition and promised Guyanese boxing fans "A show". Shelly "The Agricola Boom" Gibson will be squaring off with Trinidad and Tobago's Andrea Duncan in a four-round heavyweight contest while Charlton Skeete will battle with Cecil Smith in a super bantamweight four-rounder to round off the card. Bouts start at 8 don't miss the show, if you are for these things. Judging from the picture,they really did a weak job advertising for this bout, they had them posing one boxer in bermuda shorts and the other in jeans, next to what looks like a produce/ kitchen scale... how professional ..a damn mess.

Extra Ambulances

Guyana purchases 6 new ambulances, Kudos to the government!! The ambulances which cost about $34M will be attached to the new health centres including the Diamond, East Bank Demerara Regional Hospital and Leonora, Mahaicony and Suddie diagnostic and treatment centres. According to the Minister within the Ministry of Health Dr Bheri Ramsaran, "the purchase of the ambulances is a fulfillment of President Bharrat Jagdeo's pledge to provide emergency care at these and other facilities." I am a bit confused because "to provide emergency care" would entail the act of providing a service and an ambulance falls under equipment not service. Because, even if the ambulance arrives on time at the scene who is to say, that they will receive proper attention and medical care from our local doctors and nurses to save their lives. So I am sure he meant to say "to provide and improve emergency care including facilities and services."
