Calypso Dreams at Harbourfront’s Island Soul Festival July 30, 2007

People people people!!! how are you all? : D

I saw this movie when it premiered in Toronto last year and it was simply A-M-A-Z-I-N-G !!! it truly captures the essence of calypso and documents our greatness. The movie gives us a behind the scene look and candid chat with the giants of Calypso. I would say more but I would give it all away.

Simply put DO NOT MISS THIS ONE!! it is even free :\ dont ask me why? I paid my good money last time to see it and it was well worth it. Buh ah goin an see it again.

What I wished I learned in school July 12, 2007

It seems to me that schools often teach the opposite of what’s necessary for the real world. Perhaps in school people have plenty of time and no money, so long papers, emails, and presentations are not a problem. However, people in the real world have plenty of money (or at least more money) and no time. This is a list of what I wished I learned in school before I graduated.

1. How to talk to your boss.
