Seeing that I am lord and master of all I survey, I have realized whilst surveying... that the land and the world is a wash with confusion and illusions... so hence I am but a Master of Bedlam, and my mind is flotsam in a sea of loneliness... and in the middle of my mental wilderness the only song I hear is...

Its the end of the world as we know it...
Greetings faithful readers... pssh well it seems that as the world turns things have come to a bump, the long awaited world war 3 looms on the horizon, Isreal once agains is giving trouble round-about the middle east there... with some backative from resident evil himself Uncle Sammy... weapons destruction and such... geee and I had some remote dream of seeing Beirut one day... darn those trouble makers.... Arrghh... well lots of civilians and kiddies will die... Palestine and Lebanon will continue resistance... Syria and Iran will breakout... America will not be able to manage all that plus Afghanistan and Iraq, then North Korea... hmmm we have a predicament... aka, o/c, Armageddon my dear friends Armageddon... the Apocalypse...
Nostradamus did say the whore of Babylon would see defeat or something so... so seeing that America is in Iraq (formerly known as Babylon) whoring it out on oil and stealing water from the Tigris and them there ancient springs... we see a trend... then of course some leader with red turban etc etc etc... I spot a rake... anyone know what is War in Cashpot or oil, hmmm anyways...
The Kingdom of Heaven... is about to be left in ruins...
Its The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) by R.E.M.
Lyrics
That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane,
Lenny Bruce is not afraid
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn - world
Serves its own needs, dont misserve your own needs. Feed
It off an aux speak, grunt, no, strength,turn, ladder
Start to clatter with fear fight down height. Wire
In a fire, representing seven games, in a government
For hire and a combat site. Left of west and coming in
A hurry with the furies breathing down your neck. Team
By team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered cropped
Look at that low playing! Fine, then. Uh oh,
Overflow, population, common food, but it'll do. Save
Yourself, serve yourself. World serves its own needs,
Listen to your heart bleed dummy with the rapture and
The revered and the right, right. You vitriolic,
Patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty
Psyched
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine
Six o'clock - TV hour. Don't get caught in foreign
Towers. Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself
Churn. Locking in, uniforming,and book burning, blood
Letting. Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate
Light a candle, light a motive. Step down, step down
Watch your heel crush, crushed, uh-oh, this means no
Fear cavalier. Renegade steer clear! A tournament,
a Tournament, a tournament of lies. Offer me solutions,
Offer me alternatives and I decline
(chorus)
It's the end of the world as we know it (it's time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (it's time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (it's time I had some
time alone)
I feel fine
(repeat chorus)
The other night I dreamt of knives, continental
Drift divide. Mountains sit in a line, Leonard
Bernstein. Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester
Bangs. Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom! You
Symbiotic, patriotic, slam book neck, right? Right
(repeat chorus)
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (it's time I had some
time alone)
(repeat chorus 2x)
Fine
It's the end of the world as we know it (it's time I had some time alone)
______________________________________________
"America is an amnesiac, waking up from
unconsciousness. Whose lands are these
we’re living on, where did all this money in
our wallets come from—and why are people
trying to kill us? Can we work out our true
identity before the end of the movie?
What is the meaning of this image burned into
our brains, the twin towers that fall over and
over? Oppressed by their ominous absence, we
can only conceive of the world in dualities:
terrorism or militarism, danger or safety, peace
or war. Our own lives, our own questions,
whatever those might be, are unimaginable.
Who built those towers, who trained
the ones who brought them down?
Who stands to gain from our fixation
on them? What would it mean to reject
the terms they offer us, to refuse our
role in the story entirely and make for
the horizon?"

Can Jamaicans Act?
Hmmm the question of the week is "Can Jamaicans Act?" a very pertinent question seeing that Jamaicans get a lot of media hype yet, when it is time for Hollywood and the glitz and glam... aaaaah it seems we just don't make the cut...
you doubt me I know... but Yannick is not insane and not on another incessant and inane rant... just check the levels fi a second... look at Pirates of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, and now rumours are flying that they will be making a Bob Marley movie with Jamie Foxx... (insert x-amout of expletives here)
Now I woulda like know if no Jamaican couldn't act as Bob, yuh waan tell me seh, no Jamaican can act, not even 1 him yute dem... JAH is a (expletive here) sin. Now we will all as a nation be treated to faux Jamaican accents, and gratuitous and stupid cliche, while our country and icon reach for the heights of whore out...
and for Pirates, I love how Jamaica, is neglected once again when dem use Naomie Harris a brit... to do our part, granted her mother may be Jamaican, but I am beginning to feel Jamaica is being slighted... is it just me

Neologist & Raconteur
Welcome to my newest plan... as Caribbean Dictator hopeful I have come to the decision that to control and impact people's thinking I will need to take control of the vector of thought and that would be language, as such I am going to build a grand "wiki" like wikipedia... but with Jamaican and Caribbean thoughts ideas and jargon... Lexica Caribbana... Lexica Patois... hmmm any suggestions as to good name for my new Caribbean Dictionary and Encyclopedia.
