Living the Caribbean Life...

Let me put out my disclaimer first and foremost... Just because many of you haven't seen me in a while doesn't mean I have lost my status as 'The ORIGINAL West Indian Socialite', I have just been very uber busy. RIGHT, so with that said, we move on...

Living in the West Indies can be rewarding yet equally challenging as you start to become familiar to too many people. I take joy sometimes at keeping a straight face and walking down the street, passing familiar faces just to see if they stop me and say "Why you passing me like that?" Interesting conversation can ensue thereon as you attempt to catch up with what has been happening in each others life and so on.

Recently, I have spent alot of quality alone me time as I have a big project that I am working on and hoping to roll out within the next few months at gradual stages. This is one of the many reasons that I haven't been seen or heard from in a minute or out and about for Halloween/Independence weekend. I did hear that there were some good parties, I am still trying to figure out since when Antigua celebrates Halloween on such a large scale but oh well.

So, what's happening this weekend, hmmm. I have a obligation, or at least so I am told, to be in St. Kitts this Friday for the Fhunn Vybes Launch at 5pm in Independence Square. You better believe that I will be on the last plane bound for Antigua as Ultra is on Friday Night at Abracadabra. An Ultra cast bringing you Ultra Vibes!

Saturday Night, hmmm...Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. I typically don't plan normal weekends, I just go with the flow.

Sometimes, I think I should go back to the hustle and bustle of bigger North American cities but why would I want to leave the beach behind? Bless

Can KFC be serious?!

When I took up blogging, there were quite a few blogs that I found interesting and which I still look at read periodically. On one of them, I came across a post regarding a Racially Inclined KFC ad which has aired in their Australian Market which was 'inspired' by the fact that the West Indian cricket team is currently touring Australia.

Take a look:



Has KFC lost their mind? What are they implying?

"Anyone familiar with West Indian Cricket knows that West Indians come out to fete! Win, loose or draw, we celebrate. There are actually sections of every stadium in the Caribbean where 3/4 of the spectators do not watch the game, we have a party!"

Now what pisses me off is that in this ad, the lone Aussie in the picture says "Need a tip when you are stuck in an awkward situation?" Is it awkward to be around people having a good time? You want to give people KFC so they will settle down because you can't keep up? I have lost ALL respect for this company. Singling out people because of their cultural identity and behaviour just isn't right.

As far as I am concerned, KFC can hold they chicken. Bless
