As facts remain scarce and rumour has run amok, I’ve been thinking for a good part of the day about what happened on Sunday night between Rihanna and Chris Brown.
Possible avenues for thought range from Chris Brown as a pathetic little boy (who deserves a grown up sentence) to Chris Brown and the situation somehow being misunderstood or exaggerated (unlikely, but still.)
…and on the other end of the emotional spectrum:Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
I don’t make New Year’s resolutions but in terms of my life for the coming year(s), I want to remember to straddle these two thoughts. I can be uncertain and overconfident about my own talent on any [...]
Ten year olds across the English speaking Caribbean sit an exam to enter into the secondary school of their choice. This exam is generally math, grammar and composition.
Like all other (un)published authors out there, I’ve been (say it with me) “writing since I was a wee babe”. So the composition section for me, was a [...]
Which is way better than two steps forward, one step back. On paper. In theory. Logically. But practically? Realistically? Not so much. Not when you’d trample Pollyanna at the first sight of a smile; not when you’d knock that half full glass until it was an indisputable 3/4s empty.

Last week I had an odd television viewing experience. While having dinner I was forced to listen to the Republican National Convention. Previously I had been forced to listen to the Democratic National Convention (I am a hater of political shenanigans across the board).
While the DNC didn’t deliver any surprises, Mitt Romney really turned my [...]
I haven’t written anything – seriously, not one word – in 33 long days. And counting. Why?

Excuse Two- My weekends [...]
…in front of my eyes.
Ok. I’ve read most of Nora Robert’s In Death instalments. Not all of them because she’s written more of those books than I’ve lived years of life. So, I’m a little behind. But anyhoot, this weekend I read the first in the series and I thought to myself – hmm, I [...]
So, ok, I have fifteen things to do and only one body to get them done. Why did God give us a brain that can multi-task and pair it with a body that, largely, can’t? How mean.
What do I have to do right now right now right right right now?
Ok, this is going to be a much shorter post because I just spent an hour writing this up and lost it when WordPress (inexplicably!!) didn’t allow me to publish it then had the indecent gall to delete it all when I went back! Stolen liberties from this damn program! But ok, I must press [...]
Ok, I have just spent an hour (no lie) writing up something for today and I just lost it because wordpress isn’t letting me publish! She said with too many !!!!!!!!!!
Ok, in a fit of rage I clicked publish for this petulant post and (of course) everything worked as it should. Damn program. Now I [...]
