Old Movies: The Last Dragon (1985) Full Movie
This movie is the reason why I will always laugh when I hear the name LEROY!!! Whenever I hear someone say Leroy in my mind I automatically say it again sounding like Shonuff. This movie is a great Kung- Fu movie. Kinda like Kung Fu Hustle this is a movie that I can watch over and over and over again!!!

Old Movies: Lured
One of the most beautiful ladies of black and white films is Ms Lucille Ball. I have loved her in the famous show "I Love Lucy" and now I am utterly head over heals in love with her in this movie. At the end of the movie I was cheering and happy of the turn out. Truely an oldy to enjoy.
Story line: A serial killer in London is murdering young women whom he meets through the personal columns of newpapers. He announces each of his murders to the police by sending them a cryptic poem. After a dancer disappears, the police enlist an American friend of hers, Sandra Carpenter(Lucille Ball), to answer adds in the personal columns to lure the killer.
George Sanders, Lucille Ball, Charles Coburn, Boris Karloff, Cedric Hardwicke, George Zucco

Old Movies: The Lady Vanishes (1938)
I just finished watching this movie and it was the most mind boggling and cutest movie I have seen in a long time. The character development was very well done, The plot was really good. The scenes and costumes were undeniably well done for their time!! I recommend anyone to watch this movie. ESPECIALLY if you love black and white films.

Storyline: Travellers on a trans-European train are delayed for a night due to bad weather in a small fictional country called Mandrika. The passengers cram into the small village hotel where socialite Iris Henderson meets an old governess called Miss Froy. Shortly after the journey restarts, Miss Froy disappears.\

Possession of Hit & Run Words
I saw this movie and was like.... this is going to be a bad ass movie. I wont say it gonna be a blockbuster, nor am I saying that it would even reach Antigua but if I ever see it showing anywhere I will sit and watch it just for the laughs.
Now this one is like freaking gut wrenching, I-need-to-cry, drama, chick flick that I need in my life.
Ok I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate HORROR movies but sometimes in my life I will risk my mental state for something that looks quite badass like this. ...........OK I just watched the trailer again and there were some scenes that I didnt really notice like the xray, I paused it to take a good look at the xray and Now I not sure if I can handle this. If it is like Constantine I will watch it, if it is like EMILY ROSE this can go down as a movie that will never be seen.

Conversation vs technology
My sister had put up this video as her Ted Talk Thursdays and I know that this is what is wrong with me on a social level but I have isolated myself sooo much from people that this is the only way I can communicate and feel comfortable. Check it out!! Maybe we can have a CONVERSATION about it!

Movies which Caught my eye!!!
There are two movies which has caught my eye latel. The first one is The Loved Ones and it starts out like a teen flick but then it takes a 360degree turn into a psycho terrorist kinda movie. I just love it so much. From this trailer it kinda reminds me of Funny Games.
The next one which has been a "cant wait till it comes out" movie was even more intensified after watching this trailer: The EXPENDABLES 2. Yeaaa buddy!!!

Hunger Games -Psychology (BOOK ONE- HUNGER GAMES)
(IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE BOOK PLEASE SKIP THIS POST. ONLY IF YOU READ THE BOOK YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THE PSYCHOLOGICAL STRUGGLES ARE FACED BY EACH CHARACTER. PLUS THERE MIGHT BE SOME SPOILERS SO I WILL GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO TURN AWAY BEFORE IT IS TOOO LATE AND YOU GET MAD AT ME)

These are in no specific order except by book!
I have been reading the Hunger Games trilogy and everybody talks about how it depicts the world we live in and all that political and social jazz. But no one ever talks about the psychological aspect of it. As you read the first book you see all the different effects the games have on each individual in the book.There is the moment when Primrose get picked to enter the Hunger Games and the psychological trauma that hit Katniss when she heard her sister's name called. Which caused her to volunteer.
There is the culture shock of Katniss and Peeta when they leave their home to go to the Capital. Seeing people they have never seen before who are dressed way different from what they have ever witnessed. Interacting with all these people and their lifestyles. Which is obviously going to happen however it isnt as bad because they see some of it when they watch some of it on TV. But as they say seeing it and living it are two different things.
Then Katniss is eager to win the Games and get back home to her little sister which has made her show her mentor that she is serious about leaving the Games alive. This eagerness then puts her in a vulnerable spot where she has to follow all of her mentors advise whether it makes her comfortable or not.
The Capital people not paying attention so forcing her to do something drastic which puts her in a position where other contestants are even more willing to kill her.
Then entering the arena knowing that people are trying to kill her at every point. And the living conditions may not be suitable to people who are not accustomed. For people who are middle class today would die within the first week because of the severe survival conditions. However Katniss was used to that outdoorsy conditions. There were a few people who didnt survive because of mutations that they Capital has placed in the arena, the harsh conditions caused them to do items which made them easy prey for other competititors (aka tributes), they were bad thieves, or were just brutally killed by other tributes.
Katniss being given cookies by the father of the tribute from the same district. Not sure if it was a trick to make her into trusting thus her throwing away the cookies.
Katniss seeing Peeta with the group of Careers (the tributes in district 1,2 & 4) that must have really made her thing that he was really out of it and she wouldnt care if she had to kill him.
Peeta telling everyone that he has loved Katniss since she was a little girl and she never knew until just that night. So the "odds" were not in their favor.
Katniss having to work closely with Peeta, and then on the final day of training he says that he wants to train separately.
When entering the arena and seeing all the people that would have to die just to win.
Katniss looked over at Peeta and he shook his head as in to not go into the Cornocopia and then he runs to the Cornocopia.
Befriending Rue and then watching her die in her arms. Especially since Rue reminded her of her little sister.
Noticing that Haymitch is communicating with her through the gifts.
Having to prove that she and Peeta are actually star-crossed lovers just to survive.
Encountering Thresh who saves her from Clove and spares her life because she befriended and tried to save Rue.
Seeing the Muttations torture Cato then having to put him out of his misery by killing him with a kill shot to the head.
Getting Stung by the Tracker Jacket Wasp resulting in all that crazy ass hallucinations.
Watching Peeta telling her to run because the Careers are coming back to kill her.
Finding out from Rue that Peeta has abandoned the Careers but has been gravely injured.
Finding Peeta among the rocks after they inform everyone that the districts who win both tributes will live.
After killing Cato hearing that only one victor can leave the arena.
While on the Cornocopia having Peeta severely injured by the Mutts and then he is captured by Cato which forces her to use her arrow and shoot his hand forcing Cato to let go of Peeta and fall to his torturous doom.
Listening for hours Cato being tortured by the mutts in the Cornocopia and hearing his moans without him dying.
Having Peeta try and kill himself by trying to bleed out to death.
Coming up with the plan to commit suicide so there are no victors resulting on both of them becoming Victors.
Going back to the Capital and finding out that the President and everyone isnt too pleased with that act of rebellion forcing her to play up the star-crossed lovers bit. Making it seem like she was forced to do so because she was so madly in love with Peeta that she had to save both of them.
Going back home to Gale and her family having everyone think that she and Peeta are in love when in truth she is in love with Gale.
The nightmares which come every night. That is basically PTS which after a mentally grueling experience your brain stores everything and replays it over and over. Something that you see is common among War veterans. The thought of her Killing Peeta would have probably took her over the edge and in the day and age we live in now she would probably try to kill herself.
Her relationship with her mother before and after the Games where before she had no use for her mother since when her father died her mother went into automatic lock down. Then after she was forced to open up to her mother due to her near death experiences and her present vulnerability.
So after you read the book and you witness all of these mental back and forths that she go through you understand why she is the way she is in the final book. This is also the reason why I hated the movie. The movie hardly if at all any of these psychological issues and all of these is what makes the book what it is. But then again how can you put all of that ^ in a movie and make it interesting for everyone. You can't.
Well hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

Old Movies: To Sir With Love

Old Movies: Paris Blues (1961)
I had seen a gif of part of this movie and I remembered youtube would have full movies. So I checked to see if it was likely and just as I thought I found the full movie of Paris Blues.
I have always been a sucker for older movies as you can tell and I am even more a sucker for Sidney Poitier. I even know I will name one of my kids (male or female) Sydney/Sidney.
I find this movie different from the romances of today where the romances follow the same sequence all the time. While with older movies like this they dont follow a specific dynamic other than the dynamic of life. I have been coming across a lot of media pieces which enforces in my mind that life is what it is: an unpredictable chain of evens. Whether it is in your control or not. You just have to hang on for the ride and hope that you dont become (emotionally, mentally or physically) sick!
Now ENJOY!!!

IMPRESS PEOPLE??
After seeing this picture I was like yea this is so true. The main reason people buy shit is to impress others.
But then I was thinking about myself and most of the things are not to impress others but to make me happy.
I enjoy standing out from the crowd (well used to) and I love being comfortable and so on. However, other things I do buy are used to distract me from other stuff.
Eg.
I look at my wardrobe and get depressed everytime i think about putting on clothes that are not my work clothes. I have gained back the weight that i lost when I first started working. So most of my clothes are either boring or cant fit me. SO I need to buy clothes that (1) will make me feel happy and (2) fit me properly. When it comes to clothes, sometimes when I accessorize I feel like I am in a different world or at least different country.
Eg. 2
I am here listening to 3 songs on repeat and (yes I know I am going to go deaf really soon) I enjoy listening to music really really loud. Then I remembered the Info Tech girl at work has a Beats headphones (the headphones that Dr Dre invented) But she told me she got it as a gift so I decided to look it up and found out that the one she has costs around $170USD and I see why she loves it soo much. So now that I am in this numb mood I just want to drown out everything and crank the music up but my small little headphones dont go that high :( So I feel gypped. So now I am in the mood to by an imitation that I can distract myself from this feeling.
Eg. 3
I have a phone that I am satisfied with it and happy that I can do all sorts of cool things with. If my computer goes down, it would be a good substitute. I spent approx. $400USD (conversion approx. $1000EC) on this damn piece of stuff. I have made up my mind that if anything happens to this I will get a cheap ass phone and if anyone wants to reach me they can text or call me (as if anyone wants to reach me) So the purpose of buying this phone is to have other distractions from the world and I can communicate with some ppl.
So my version of the picture above is actually in relation that I want to detach myself from my present mental state. I want to feel like I am somewhere else and even someone else and I want to distract myself from what is going on around me.
I find this is an even worst condition than trying to impress people.
OXXO

Something is wrong
I have noticed that I havent been in the correct mind frame lately. I have been very bitter and having other peoples opinions and judgments affect how I think. I am not sure if it is the work environment I am in but after this week vacation I noticed that I needed it badly, just to get away from that bad negative vibes. I have heard that resorts are very hard work but I was never told that I would become soo bitter.
This vacation has made me notice that the character which made me want to go into the hospitality industry was slipping quickly into an abyss of negativity. I know I have always been dangerous (as in had a hint of backstabbing) but it is getting even worst now. There are literally a handful of people who make feel normal at work. The rest I feel I have to put up a show.
I have also stopped caring. Like I am not being challenged anymore. i am not learning anything anymore. I enjoy learning. This lack of caring has gone into my personal life where I dont even care about how I look, how I keep my personal space, I dont care about going out, I hardly talk to any of my friends, I even dont care how I treat my body.
It also killed me that I have become so alienated from my mother's business. I dont know anything or anyone. Yesterday I spent a few hours there and I just wanted to cry.
This may just be hormonal depression but I dont like it.
Well my vacation is ending tomorrow. Tuesday I am going back to work and I am going to try and get back to the place or the person who I rather have taking the greater steps into the future.
I feel very numb right now!

Gotye- Lyrics- Somebody That I Used To Know (feat. Kimbra)
Not to be a troll but the first time I saw this video I was like omfg his mouth is FUCKING HUGE!!!! but then I saw other pics of him with a beard and mustache and saw he was one of those dudes who were born to wear a beard and mustache. Then I was like omg his teeth!!!! But then as I continued watching the videos I am like damn this dude is really good looking. But kinda like a good looking Vampire cause his mouth is huge and everytime he opens his mouth I am expecting to see Fangs!!!
Now to get to the music!!! I am smitten, I am listening to it for like the 6th time right now and as soon as I finish posting this I will be watching it a couple more times and then just have it playing in the back ground because I am freaking addicted to this song. It reminds me of Fun's song "We are young". Just something addictive and see this is the 7th time I am listening to it. Gosh!!! I would love to see this in concert! :(
Enjoy and try not getting tooooooooo addicted.

Concerts
Man one thing I do envy the mainlanders about are their ability to go to concerts all over the place. After watching this I realized that although I dont know most of the artists that are playing there are a few great great ones which I would love to see and I suspect that the rest are the indie version of the great ones.
Antigua does have their concerts (more like sound clashes) but they deal mainly with soca, reggae, calypso, and dancehall. All of which I do not follow religiously. However when I was in the states I did hear about all kinda concerts that not only happened in RI but in Boston as well during the summer. But because I am a closed minded island girl who allows her fears to control her life I came home every Summer I always miss all of these. :(
Or even when they have all these live indie shows in England or the EUROVISION which even though I wouldnt understand one word 3/4 of them are singing the cool rhythm and melodies would make me happy.
There are music festivals that come to the Caribbean like the St. Lucia Jazz Festival,
St. Kitts Music Festival
And all the islands lil shows and carnivals but it is soo expensive to go to each island that you have to either be rich or dedicated enough to go.
Shit if music did this to this cool old man guess what it does to me:
So I shall end with this cool A Capella

Random thoughts: Looper
I just watched the movie trailer for Looper. Check it out here:
Well I know that this is one movie that I know I will enjoy watching kinda like .... uuhhh.... that movie with .... Justin Timberlake..... aaarrrggghhh.........fuck.... IN TIME!!! YES!!!! But then it popped into my mind. How many times do you relive a situation if you do go back in time and face yourself. Think about it you are young now and you meet the older you. When you get older you are going to go back to meet the younger you. Then when the younger you gets older they will go back in time to see the younger you. So dont you think it is one continuous time travel. However they did have a show: Misfits that had an interesting twist to it. You should check out Misfits to understand. However if you travel back in time and your younger-self kills the older you then it kinda ends there? or does the younger you keeps killing the older you. Now see this would be even more of a mind fuck if I did drugs like weed or something. OH WELL OXXO Mayeshah"!!!!

Baltimore? Providence? Jamaica?? Nope Antiguans!!!
It is crazy how simple minded I am. When I was in high school I was in class with this girl (yes i was in class with many girls but they not the point of the story) and he last name was the name of a city, Baltimore. And I could have sworn that someone had told me that she was from Baltimore.
Then I found out she was from Antigua
and I never shared this mix up with anyone until now. And this actually came back to mind when I saw a girl on my fb and her name was Providence and I could have sworn (the reason I dont swear) that she was from Providence and I had met her there.
But once again I was wrong and she is from out cute lil island of Antigua.
Oh don't even talk about the Author Jamaica Kincaid.
Frig I thought she was from friggin JAMAICA!!!!
Then I read her biography and where is she from????
Antigua!!!!
So now if I see anyone who has the name of a city or country my first bet would be they are from Antigua and then I will move out from there!!!!
OXXO

Old Movie: Maximum Overdrive (1986)
Now I have no idea what was going on in my head when I saw this movie. I think this was when ABS (Antigua Broadcasting Station) was just playing the most random movies ever. It kinda made me weary of using electronics and vehicles. But I might take some time out of my life and watch this again. I dont think I found it scary like Poltergeist but it was more like wtf.
OXXO Mayeshah!!!

Old Movie: Teen Witch 1989 (Full Movie)
I have watched this entire movie again and I was amazed at how corny good it was. I would love love love to have been there to just be like WOW!!!! It came out when i was 2 and I laughed sooo much during this movie when I watched it last night. SO I would advise you to take an hour and a half out of your day to enjoy this movie which reminds you of the days before technology when ppl actually gave a damn.

Old Movies: Casino Royale (1967)
When I was younger I had come across a few movies that I just cant forget. There is one which I never knew it's name and I think it was bought ( it was a VHS movie) under the guise of being a 007 James Bond Movie!!!! However, It turned out to be one of the many 007 spoofs and the worst one at that. But being my young self and noticing that there was no coherence in this movie I noticed it was a spoof and loved it never the less. So I had just finished watching Teen Witch (1989) ( you should check it out, it is the entire movie) and my wandering mind took me to Zelda Rubenstein, to Poltergeist, to this lil girl in Poltergeist, to this movie (the final link was a situation that I had seen poltergeist when I was young). So I googled it and went through a lot of the 007 spoofs that Wiki would show me and finally came across CASINO ROYALE!!! Not the Casino Royale that just came out that I havent seen in it's entirety, but the Casino Royale from 1967 (20 yrs before i was born). So I was actually suspicious about this movie not being the funny ass spoof of my childhood. But then I saw the trailer and was satisfied that it was. The trailer:
So I continued looking at the videos that Google provided for me and came across these and it basically gives you the low down of what you would expect if you actual caught your eyes viewing this entire movie in it's entirety (which I believe after these videos you will not)
I believe I shall bring a couple more Old movies that I remember in future posts.
OXXO

Trans~ (Extended Trailer) 2012
I would love to see this in its entirety. I only wish that people would understand that this is not something that has only happened now. It has been happening for centuries it is only now that people are talking and people have the resources to acting out what they feel. I have great respect for people like this because they go for what they believe is true for them. I am not in the same boat as them but I have much respect for them.
People are convinced that it is the devil or some evil force that has people Gay and Lesbians but no it is a situation that life is not and will never be black and white. There will always be that gray area with shades of dark gray, light gray and everything in between. It also make s you think of all the individuals who committed suicide when they were young and didnt understand why their body was doing something it wasn't suppose to do in their own minds. Like with him, in his mind he was wondering why he was a girl and why was he having his period, why he had breast? and now that he has the voice and body of a man (I doubt he is complete as yet) He sees himself as what he wants to be.
Why does society want to dictate what you are? You are man! You are woman! You must get married! You must have Babies! You must work! You must retire! NO!!!!! There are those gray areas that no one ever thinks of. Yes you are a man but you could also be feminine, or like men. Yes you are a woman, but you could also be masculine, or like women. No, you dont need to get married but it would be helpful with taxes. No you dont need to have babies (enough stupid ppl and young girls are having enough to populate the world twice around) and If you want to have a baby but you are in a man man or woman woman relationship, there are enough kids in foster care that would love parents weather it is same gendered.
It just upsets me that society and the church is pressuring people to do what their minds are telling them otherwise. Yes there are mental illnesses but how can such a large population of individuals have this mental illness of homosexuality.
So if you are the Bible thumping, scripture preaching mofo who wants to challenge this. PLEASE keep it to yourself cause my mind is quite made up!!

Gospel
I was having a word with one of my co workers about religion and after our conversation she has become one of the Christians that I have much respect for in relation to religion. Then a while later I saw she had put up a quote and I had liked it on fb. She then sent me the link to the song that the quote came from. So when I went to the link I was like damn this dude is really cute (yes I went there). Then as I was listening to the song I realized that this is the type of Gospel that I dont really like because as soon as they start my mind classifies it as Gospel and I start to zone out. Well here is the song: The I remembered there was a group (actually a duo) who sang Gospel and they would be the individuals I would listen to if I actually did listen to Gospel like that. I heard about them when I was in high school and whenever I heard them I would listen to them cause you dont know that they are Gospel artists until you listen to the lyrics. This duo is Mary Mary. So I looked up a song and found this one: But then I noticed that I used to listen to a few Gospel artists but I didnt know they were gospel until someone had drawn it to my attention. They not only satisfied my gospel but they satisfied my young souls need for ROCK!!! I would say they are as popular as Nickelback. They are POD and Creed Here is an example of Creed: Now one from POD: So it would be interesting what kinda Gospel you are into (even if you not a Christian you might find one of the 4 I put up that might tickle your fancy!!! OXXO Mayeshah!!!

Who am I?
I have come across some videos that showed the inside of people's lives after Youtube fame.
This one had touched my heart because he does bring out really good videos and as a viewer you never think that this is what really going on in his life.
Then this one which is a girl that I followed religiously when I was in Uni.

Trailers
I dont really share much movie trailers but these were so bad ass and cool that I had to share!!!
This reminded me of Animatrix, so I would watch it just to get a mindfuck for real. This movie looks bad ass to the max and damn right it got in Bruce Willis!!! Finally, it is about time they bring out a movie as bad ass as this. I dont even think I will wait to watch this with my sister or anyone. I would go and watch this movie over and over again. OXXO Mayeshah!!!

Why I am single #4
Unfortunately the fourth reason my sister put up is pretty much the same as mine. So please check it out here and then come back to me.
So she says she is an idiot but I would rather say that I dont see myself worthy of someone who is really nice or really cute. I know that I can be very confident and everything when I want to be but as with alot of things in my life I am very very scared. I let fear of this stop me or I would make excuses not to do it.
I haven't gotten over it or started to get over it because my excuses are very easy to pull out without me even thinking about them.
This is what I will have to get made into a poster and frame it so that I will know to STOP!!!
Some of the excuses I do make is to get me out of things I know are morally out of the way and fun to experience.
OXXO

So far
As you know I was working on my skills for this year. Well I am off to a good start so far. I am doing a Spanish course at the Venezuelan Institute for free which is really really good. It teaches you conversational Spanish instead of Spanish that they teach you in schools.
So far I know:
How to greet people
How to introduce myself
Tell people my name and ask people their names
Tell people where I am from and ask them where they are from
Tell people where I live and ask them where they live
Tell people what I do and ask them what they do
Tell people about my personality
Tell people the day, today, tomorrow and the days after that
The months
Numbers up to 20
Birthdays
And that is all in 2 weeks ->4 classes -> 8 hours. :D
Plus through work I have done a training course. That is a course on how to train people.
It was a 4 day course but we will have to practice training our co-workers and sub-ordinates (if I w as a supervisor) for 6 months before getting my certificate.
Because I am in no specific department at the moment I am doing two departments. 3 months in housekeeping and 3 months in the dining room. Fun times!!!
Well I most definitely dont want it to be an excuse on why I havent blogged in so long but I have been busy as you can see.
I will try and keep you up to date with my situations :D

My False Ideals for a Black Man
Well I was watching the trailer for the new Miley Cyrus movie: LOL
Well, if you actually watch it on youtube you will see the amount of people who actually dislikes this movie. However, on the other hand, if I was still between the ages of 7-15 my brain would still be informing me on that is how finding someone you like is suppose to happen. Ok now screw that, since i am not a MCyrus fan.
The main thing that has messed me up, right up until now is these two chicks:
So here is a video with a few trailers of the movies that has really messed me up:
Then there is these chicks:
Yea them staring in movies that make me think love was so fun to find and stuff. However, in real life it isnt that easy. That you would find this cute hunky dude who is around your age and he is interested in you and you are interested in him. That you are going to get into adventures and all kinda crap.
Now that I am interested in actually going out (and can go without asking permission) the dudes who approach are either very hard to talk to because they just wanna have sex with you or they are just not your type and still just wanna have sex with you.
"Why can't we just talk and get to know each other so that I will feel comfortable around you?" is the question I ask (in my mind) every guy that approaches me about sex.
But then looking at all these movies you never saw a black couple (well there was Dion in Clueless but they were heavy snoggers). So it now makes me wonder if it is a cultural thing.
I ever listened to some of my American friends when it came to dating and most of them dudes know better than to approach them with sexual advances (if they were sober).
It then makes me wonder if because black women have such pronounced bodies that the male mind just automatically goes to sex.
I most likely have to get over major fears to reach anywhere but I know that I also need to go out more. When this happens I hope I get a relationship like in some of them movies where we can talk about anything and still have fun together.
OXXO
Mayeshah!!!
P.S. The Olsen Twins movies were when I was really young and they were younger and less creepy!!

BANE!!!
So last night I was on youtube and just going through my subscriptions (as usual since that is my life) and came across this video:
So in my mind I am like why can't we understand Bane? So I went back to the trailer for the new Dark Knight (if you havent seen it yet check it here:
)
and his mouth was obstructed with some metal piece of shit. WTF??? :S
First I am going to do a wiki description of the origins of Bane:
Then as stated in the origins they did bring up Bane in Batman & Robin in '97 I think ( i was young :P )
But I think they kept the theory that he was doing life and he was the only volunteer that survived. But this new Bane seems like a big big disappointment.
So now I am sad that this is gonna be sucky!!
OXXO
Mayeshah!!!
Fictional character biography
Bane was born in the fictional Caribbean Republic of Santa Prisca, in a prison called Peña Dura ("Hard Rock"). His father Edmund Dorrance had been a revolutionary and had escaped Santa Prisca's court system. The corrupt government however decreed that his young son would serve out the man's life sentence, and thus Bane's childhood and early adult life are spent in the amoral penitentiary environment.[3][4] Though imprisoned, his natural abilities allow him to develop extraordinary skills within the prison's walls. He reads as many books as he can get his hands on, builds up his body in the prison's gym, and learns to fight in the merciless school of prison life. Despite his circumstances, he finds teachers of various sorts during his incarceration, ranging from hardened convicts to an elderly Jesuit priest, under whose tutelage he apparently receives a classical education. Bane murders this priest upon his return to Santa Prisca years later. However, he commits his first murder at the age of eight, stabbing a criminal who wanted to use him to gain information about the prison.[4] During his years in prison, Bane carries a teddy bear he calls Osito (Spanish for "little bear"), whom he considers his only friend.[5] It is revealed that Osito has a hole in his back to hold a knife that Bane uses against anyone who bullies him.[3][4] Bane ultimately establishes himself as the "king" of Peña Dura prison. The prison's controllers take note and eventually force him to become a test subject for a mysterious drug known as Venom,[4] which had killed all other subjects; the drug is administered by a doctor who bears a passing resemblance to another Batman foe, Dr. Hugo Strange. Later, in Vengeance of Bane II the very same doctor encounters Bane again in Gotham and it can be confirmed that it is not Hugo Strange, who at that point in Batman continuity was a crazed psychologist and not a surgeon.[4] The Peña Dura prison Venom experiment nearly kills Bane at first, but he survives and finds that the drug vastly increases his physical strength, although he needs to take it every 12 hours (via a system of tubes pumped directly into his brain) or he will suffer debilitating side-effects.[3][4]So now I am curious about the background and origins of Bane. I came across this and this looked quite legit when it came to the Cartoons: So check out these to see if some of what is said sounds legit?
Then as stated in the origins they did bring up Bane in Batman & Robin in '97 I think ( i was young :P )
But I think they kept the theory that he was doing life and he was the only volunteer that survived. But this new Bane seems like a big big disappointment.
So now I am sad that this is gonna be sucky!!

Jesus was not Good
Now this video gives me a better understanding about this individual. I wish that more people would watch this and understand that what they are killing and judging people over is just a story that people in the past forced down peoples throats.
However, Christianity has such a tight hold on a large number of the western world that I might as well keep my mouth shut and move on with my life.
After all this all I can say is Eat Pray Love!!!
OXXO

Why am I single? #3
Told you it would be sporadic. Well my sister's third topic was "I settle for the wrong guy".
My issue is I dont settle for any guy. When someone interesting comes into view like 3 or 4 potential guys would come into view. I then get frustrated and just stay far from all of them until they all go away.
I remember a time that this guy that I found quite interesting was talking to me and then it is like all my male friends became available again or just wanted some nookie. So I was like... what do I do now? I am not the player type of chick to be stringing all of them along, so I just back away and stay away from all.
It sounds retarded right but it kept me feeling safe for a long time. No one with hurt feelings. But then again I am still single.
This is the reason I am still single cause this has always been my method of solving this problem. It is one that I am hoping to change this new year. There are a few guys that I see that are interesting but I wanna see who I am comfortable with first and then move on from there. Bearing in mind a few of these guys are just interested in the sexual aspect of it. Which is something I am planning to cut out if not completely, by a huge percent. (not that I do it alot but when I do it is always casual.)
I guess if I start letting my guards I will get this issue resolved. We will see.

New Year Plan (NOT RESOLUTION)
I know I am a whole 5 days late but HAPPY NEW YEARS ALL.
Now I got that out of the way, I shall tell you about this PLAN, notice I didnt say RESOLUTION, because Resolutions tend to be full of crap. I have come across a post that says Learn a New Skill This Weekend. The area I saw it was an entry saying learn a new skill every weekend in 2012.
So far I havent made up my mind on what Skill will be my first. However, next week I will be registering for Spanish Classes. So that is a first step toward my goal.
I have the basic knowledge for Bartendinge maybe I should do the full skill of Bartending.
I do believe to pick a Skill I shall use the website Lifehacker.com to find a skill then I will research as much about it and then do them. Maybe I will do blog posts about them :D
Well wish me good luck since this is gonna be an interesting challenge for me in the year 2012. My ending goal is to know a little about everythign and alot about one thing (I dont remember who says that but it is gonna be my mantra for this year)

Well if you scrolled pass my lil thingy there that means you have seen the movie or just dont give a shit.
Note well: I am not a certified food critic, I am a girl and have all right to be Bias where necessary.
I went to our local cinema to see this movie for their $5 EC Wednesday special (Big ups to Deluxe Cinemas) The movie started out at a very good pace, you understood what was going on and the jest of what was going on. Then the ultimate moment happened really soon into the movie, he saved that guys life and got the time while the guy gone and commit suicide at the age of 105. Nice right.
The pace of the movie after that was very good as well after this cause it gave you a chance to make your own conclusions and so forth.
Then there was the Romeo & Juliet scene where they met and they danced and they went for a swim. However they didnt die. They actually started to rob banks and shit - Bonnie & Clyde scene, and then give it to all the ppl in the ghetto - Robin Hood.
The story line was sick, the actors(actresses) were really good and the movie was just really phenomenal
TOLD YOU I WASNT A CRITIC BUT BEARING IN MIND I AM SLEEPY I SHALL END WITH THIS:
It is a good movie and I would recommend that you watch it if you havent and hope you enjoyed it as much as I did if you did.

A predicament!
Ok I am in a predicament. I actually like a guy who likes me and I think I am brave enough to check him out. :| But I am also talking to another dude who I know he is interested in me and I find him interesting. Now I am like should I see what happens with this first dude and hope shit goes well.
My fear is that I will give up on it really quickly or I might be tooo clingy (like giving cling wrap a run for its money) But then it runs through my mind what if it isnt even like that, what if he just wants a shag and then move on ?(I know I used shag and that is British and I am not but I am watching Misfits :P) But yeah. Or even worst he is over obsessed or I am over obsessed? Now what if it turns out I marry this dude (ok i know I am jumping the gun here) but what if it happens?
Normally I would just wait for this wave to pass (wave as in a group of guys interested in me at the same time since that is how it turns out to happen all the time) I just dont know :(
Well this was just a random thought that I figured I should put out in the cyberworld for it to be swallowed up and move on with my life.

Why am I single? #2
The second topic my sister had done was "Childhood Issues".
Now I dont want you to think I am just copying off of my sister but we are closer than we think we are. While her childhood issue was around specific events, mine was on my entire growing up from primary school up to now.
Because I was a big girl when I was young, I looked like I(or maybe even had) matured even faster than necessary. So I was getting all this attention from guys who was in their 20s and 30s (even 40s) and I was 8-10. So from that age I noticed that I had some power being a woman and all but because of my age (and the fact that I was always around family and family friends) I pretty much had to ward off any attention that I used to get. So I had always loved wearing baggy clothes (men's jeans and a large or extra large shirt). That did very well for a long time. But then when I was in high school one of my teachers told my mom that I should be wearing proper girly clothes (bearing in mind this teacher was a guy).
So one day my grades was really low (I cant tell if it was end of yr or end of term) but my mom was soo upset with me that she told me not to wear my baggy clothes anymore. :( That made me sad but I knew she was very serious. So since then all the attention came back and I have been turning guys down ever since. It has now become a norm to turn down guys. :( I know this is lame but unless I make a conscious effort to hang out with a male friend (or friends kinda force me to)
It even comes unconsciously because one of my friends was asking me out when I was in Uni and I gave all kinda excuses of why I wasnt gonna go. When my roommates noticed what was going on they basically arranged for me to go.
So guys bear with me I am a hard nut to crack but once opened I can be pretty cool!!

Why am I single?
My sister had done a couple posts on "Why am I single". I dont think I am as dedicated as she is, so these will be very sporadic. Maybe even every time I see one for her.
So, the first one she did was "I look Christian".
I have been addressed with this before as well. To be honest a few weeks ago one of the guys at work asked me if I was a Christian. I answered no, he then asked me if I was married. Again my answer was no, but then I asked why? He then said "Oh, you look and act like a Christian."
I was once again shocked that just because I am not ask loud and obnoxious as most non-christian women in Antigua are.While my sister said she was a non-practicing Pentecostal, I am more on the verge of full on Atheist. I must say that there are a few things that I cant answer as an atheist (like ghost and the power of prayer) but I must say Science and Logic has and can cancel out alot of crap that we are fed.
So I might lose some friends or people might look at me a different way but I am one of the farthest things from Christian. Shoot, the only reason I haven't acted out what runs through my mind is because of my family reputation as a M**** and my personal reputation that I would live with for the rest of my life.
So, please and thank you, stop asking and assuming that I am Christian or Married. I am just a morally adjusted person. And dont label me either cause that wont help either.

Chelsea Settles
Ok now this is a general thank you to that gal who had went on youtube dissing the show Chelsea Settles.
Now watching that show I actually feel like I am connected to someone in the world when it comes to weight and also mental blocks against things. Every episode makes me wanna go out and do something with my life. I know that here in the Caribbean you are somewhat restricted in some way or another. So I would not be able to achieve as much as she has but that mental blocks are things I need to take a sledge hammer and bulldozer to and flatten them.
I will see if I can find the video that the chick had dissed Chelsea and give you a formal introduction to Chelsea Settles. :D
Well I getting sleepy now and I suppose I will go on to bed now.
Oh and I have gotten back into my heavy metal rock and alt. rock. I never realized how much that makes me feel when I want to blank out the entire world.
OXXO

Tranquility Bay Hotel
This Friday I went to a hotel which seems to be a branch off of a well known resort. I had applied to this hotel for a job but never heard any response from there. But I realised why this Friday. The name of this hotel is Tranquility Bay Hotel. It is a branch off of the Jolly Beach Resort (well I think it is since you have to go through the Jolly Beach Security to reach this hotel. 
It was me and like 10 other people. When we reached the front desk I notice that the structure of the building is actually a shipping container.
I love that since I had seen a hotel with homes which were shipping containers. However I took points off that the front desk agent didnt inform us where our room was. There was four or five building each of which had different names and so forth. So two of my friends went to find the room while we finished checking in.
When you reach the building that you are in the doors are heavy ass entrance doors with the card locks which I loved sooo much because the hotel I work at has the key locks and they piss me off as hell since right now I am training in Housekeeping and we need a whole bunch of keys for the different rooms/blocks.
When I walked in th room I was highly disappointed because the living room was very tacky. I have always had a problem with floral print on furniture (sofas, chairs, beds, shit even walls). Even though they didnt have florals this is what they had instead.

The saving grace about the room was the fact that the sofa was a flip out sofa bed and I loved that about the sofa. Kinda like this:
The Kitchen was great and very updated. I loved it. ( You can go on the website to see the kitchen). It was a fully stocked kitchen with all the glasses and utensils dishes and even pots and pans.
But when I walked around the entire two bedroom suite I noticed the little things that the hotel I work at was missing. Like the folders that tell you everything about the hotel and their policies. Then I went into the bathroom and they were missing soaps and wash cloths. One of the bathrooms had the toilet paper on the other side of the room, so you had to reach across while on the toilet to get to the tp.
The hotel on a whole was really good and I would still like to work there.
OXXO
Mayeshah!!!
P.S.
I would love to get a sofa like that in my living room or if I have a Suite have that as a bed. :D

Ricky Gervais
I know I am going to get a lot of debate on this and people will not see me in the same light.
However I find that Ricky is pretty right in his transfer from Christianity to Atheist. Hope his views are as interesting to you as it was to me.
Then there was Steve Harvey who mentions that religion is basically a moral barometer for everyone. However in this video who gives explanations to what Steve said.

How to drink Absinthe
Ok I have always been a fan of Absinthe but I never really drank it. But A friend of mine said that she had tasted it and had to spit it out. However she didnt do it the right way, she did it as a shot!!!! OOHHH NOOOO!!!!!! Well here is the true way to do it!!! So nxt time (hopefully I am there to coordinate that they do this right) we will do this the right way!!! Hope it is of some great use to you!
The traditional method for drinking absinthe is to mix it with water and sugar. How much you mix in of each is up to the drinker and how they want it to taste. This article will go over several of the common methods and how to mix it in a traditional way.
Order Absinthe OnlineMeasuring out the Absinthe
First get together everything you need. You will need a glass, water, sugar, a spoon, absinthe, and something to measure it all out with. To the left is a picture of a traditional reservour and absinthe spoon.
Next Measure out one to two ounces of absinthe into your glass. The usual ratio of absinthe to water is 1:3 or 1:5. For a traditional glass 2oz at 1:3 will give an 8oz drink and fill most of the glass. If you would like to make it a little weaker you can put in only 1oz for a 6oz drink after adding 5oz of water.
Adding Sugar
If the kiss of the green fairy is too bitter for your tastes you can add sugar. The traditional way is to place an absinthe spoon over the glass and slowly drip cold water through the sugar cube to disolve it into the absinthe.
Burning Absinthe
Burning Absinthe is not traditional, but it will easily amaze your friends. To do it drip some absinthe onto the sugar cube and light it on fire. Hold it over the glass and let the carmalized sugar drip down into the absinthe in the glass.
The Easy Way
If you don't have an absinthe spoon, sugar cubes, or an absinthe glass you can just use granulated sugar, mix it in any suitable glass like a normal drink, and save yourself some time. The green fairy may show up in sweat pants and a janky t-shirt, but its all good.
Time to party like its 1899!
Now just mix it all together with your spoon and your absinthe is ready to drink. Absinthe is best in moderation. The wormwood and thujone effects are strong, but if you drink too much it will be similiar to just drinking too much alcohol since absinthe is usually a very high proof. For that reason its effects will be more noticable if you have not already been drinking when you bust out the absinthe.

6 Laws You've Broken Without Even Realizing It
Here’s a funny (yet informative) article I ran across this morning on cracked.com, so of course I had to share it with all of you!
None of us can claim with a straight face that we’ve never done anything illegal, be it speeding, drunkenly stealing a shrink-wrapped pickle from a bowling alley or hunting the homeless for sport. But on the whole, we’re upstanding citizens. After all, it’s not like we’re out there breaking the law on a daily basis.
Wanna bet? Because all of the stuff below is illegal in most of, if not all of, the United States. If you live outside the U.S., you need to double check to see if you can get jail time for …
#6. Connecting to Unsecure Wi-Fi Networks
GettyAnd by “email” we mean “hardcore dwarf BDSM porn.”
Oh wait … it totally can.
Getty“I told you, all but one of those dwarfs consented!”
Say hello to the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, which makes it a crime to gain “unauthorized access” to a computer or a website. What does “unauthorized access” actually mean? Nobody knows. But the law says it applies to wireless routers. Luckily, law enforcement has lately become more lenient in enforcing “Wi-Fi squatting” in relation to the CFAA. So they probably won’t bust you for the federal crime of stealing wireless Internet (even though they totally could, if they some day feel like it), but it doesn’t matter, because that’s where your state’s laws kick in.
Getty“Castle Doctrine applies to your home Wi-Fi network, right?”
While ultimately none of them were charged with a felony, one man got slapped with a $400 fine and 40 hours of community service for using the unauthorized Wi-Fi connection … to check his email.
GettyOne of these men is guilty of rape. The other was caught playing WoW behind an Arby’s.
#5. Singing “Happy Birthday to You” in Public
What Did I Do?!
It’s copyrighted. Usually that would only affect people who are singing it while attempting to make a profit (the lady your dad hired to jump out of your birthday cake, for instance). However, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) requested that the Girl Scouts pay royalties for “Happy Birthday to You,” and other songs they’d been singing around the campfire without a single stripper, or paying customer in attendance.
GettyThere must be SOME way to get at all that sweet cookie money.
Getty“Sound familiar, shit bird?”
GettyArtists have a right to be compensated. Or, if they’re dead and have no descendants,
a faceless corporation has the right to profit from their work.
Or if you want to be extra safe, you can do what many restaurant chains do and just invent your own special version of the lyrics, assuming you don’t mind looking and sounding like a stupid asshole.
Getty“Today you left your mom’s vagina, now why not visit South Carolina?”
#4. Using Fake Names on the Internet
What Did I Do?!
Oh, hey, look at that. It’s the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act again, with its vague wording that you’ve probably violated over and over again in the last 24 hours.
Getty“Sorry, sir, but your DC Universe Online handle technically counts as a false identity.”
In 2010, Matthew Lacroix, a Rhode Island prison guard, was arrested for creating a fake profile of his boss on Facebook. Now, to be clear, it wasn’t to proclaim his boss’ love for Stargate fan fiction or to commit some kind of fraud. The profile just … existed, so in the end, Lacroix was convicted simply of using “fraudulent information” (i.e. a fake name) and had to pay $500 to the Victims Indemnity Fund. A similar thing happened with Lori Drew, a 50-year-old woman who harassed a teenage girl over Myspace until she committed suicide (OK, maybe not THAT similar). It was back when cyber-bullying laws weren’t in full effect, so Drew was charged with a misdemeanor under the CFAA regulations for creating a fake Myspace profile.
GettyIf you change your legal name to Bonertron69, they’ve got nothing on you.
Getty“It’s alright, officer! I just don’t understand your local laws.”
3. Betting With Friends
Angry at yourself, you get up to leave, when suddenly a SWAT team storms the place, pushes you to the ground and cuffs you.
Getty“Is this about the dead hookers? It is, isn’t it?”
You see, all those bets you made violated the Illegal Gambling Act of 1970. According to the IGA, any betting that goes against state or local law, involves five or more people and has a revenue of at least $2,000 in one day constitutes an illegal gambling operation, punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
And that SWAT team/bar wager scenario we described above? That really happened. The guy’s name was Sal Culosi, and in 2005 he was overheard in a bar by a Virginia cop betting with his friends on college football to the tune of like $50. The cop befriended Culosi, and over the course of a couple of months led him to raise the stakes until one day Culosi crossed the magical border of $2,000.
A SWAT team arrived at his doorstep to arrest him and shot him through the heart.
GettyIt turns out gambling really does cause violence. Police violence, but still.
#2. Writing “Disturbing” Material
Well, you better hope that no one finds what you’ve written “disturbing,” because your goth phase might be breaking the law.
GettyHonestly? We’re OK with this one.
Some state laws actually make it illegal to write about things that can freak other people out. Illinois, for example, has regulations against “disorderly conduct,” which usually means stuff like prank calling 911, but can also apply to writing “disturbing fiction.”
No, it doesn’t even matter whether you make it public or not. If someone reads something you wrote and finds it reprehensibly soul-poisoning, you may face 30 days of jail time and a $1,500 fine.
GettyAnd yet, Stephenie Meyer walks free.
In 2007, a Chicago high school student named Allen Lee was arrested for disorderly conduct over a class writing assignment involving stream of consciousness where the students were supposed to write whatever came to their minds. Instead of page after page filled with “boobs” and “weed,” Lee ended up with an unsurprisingly nonsensical jumble of words and phrases, including “Super Mario,” “ballet” and four instances of “stab.” After reading his assignment, Lee’s teacher turned it in to the school officials, who collectively decided that they must expel the straight-A student and have him arrested. You know, before he goes on a writing spree.
Getty“Call the police, we have a Code Kafka! Repeat, CODE KAFKA!”
#1. Owning a Permanent Marker
Pleased with your law-abidingness, you reach to get your bag back when suddenly the cops grab you by the arm and haul you off to jail.
GettyActually, it was about the permanent markers. According to basically every anti-graffiti state law out there, it is illegal simply to possess “broad-tipped indelible markers” or “aerosol cans” in a public place, because they can be used to commit acts of vandalism. You can find such regulations all over the United States, from Florida to New York to California, which also make it a crime to buy permanent markers for anyone under 18. California, remember, is a state where it is legal to buy weed if you have a doctor’s note.
On the one hand, it’s kind of understandable, seeing as in California alone the removal of graffiti costs millions of dollars each year. On the other hand, it also means you theoretically can spend up to a year in prison for holding outdoor arts and crafts classes for homeless orphans, and it technically makes any art school guilty of possessing contraband.
Getty“Screw busting grow houses. Art class is where the real money is.”
Since a 2007 felony arrest for tagging, a reformed ex-graffiti artist from California, Cristian Gheorghiu, was arrested a number of times for breaking parole because the authorities kept finding “vandalism tools” in his apartment. There were stickers, posters, a computer and markers, which, according to the sheriff’s office, clearly pointed to Gheorghiu’s revived criminal activity, and not the fact that he’s making a living nowadays selling legitimate art.
Right now, these parole violations (aka “owning stuff”) can make it illegal for Gheorghiu to possess even a ballpoint pen. But OK, the guy was on parole, so as long as you don’t get arrested for vandalism or graffiti, carrying markers shouldn’t be a problem, right?
Not exactly. Just take a look at the case of the 13-year-old from Oklahoma who was taken into custody by the police for allegedly writing on his desk, which violated an Oklahoma City ordinance against the possession of permanent markers.
GettyHope the jail time is worth it, clowndick.
OXXO
Mayeshah!!!
