Miami Carnival Masquerader Check List
2007-09-20 00:23:00 Okay so the Parade starts at NOON!BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH!!okay okay lets start over...The Parade is SUPPOSED to start At noon.Based on my experiences wtih this route this is my advice. Do not park your car at the beginning of the route. Right then your hype and full of energy so you good. Imagine after you jumping, and drinking and eating...and the adrenaline wear off...you now have to walk ALLLLLL the way back ...the ENTIRE ROUTE!! AGAIN...with your mash up gym boots and sore feet....[well unless you take a taxi] but you know what I mean.Find the Sunblock..Miami Sun not easy...i buy the highest SPF I can and every year i turn into Chocolate Clivia right after...sigh..sun block sunblockSunglasses necessary..i know to find a place to put them sometimes is a drag ...but you will need them. Plus if you intend to run back and jump up with Natural Freaks some times all you pretty makeup does wash off...or if like some people you get kidnapped and put in a shopping basket and wheeled awa...

I am a Sinner - ANGRY
2007-09-12 21:31:00 Forgive me this morning for the rant that bubbling in my chest....[ Names and specific situations have been removed to protect the innocent]I am a sinner. We all are. For us that believe in God, or lets say a higher being, we believe in the concept of living a life that respects our brothers and sisters, ourselves; that repents of our Slip ups and tries to seek a higher purpose, all while struggling with earthly material things so that we can attain that Final Glory beyond this physical realm. Or just. NOT.You are to be judged by HIM and all can be forgiven if truly confessed. That is the Mystery of Christianity. Most religions carry this same concept.So God, Allah, Yahweh, Abba, Jah, Free Choice, Ngai, El...whoever he/she is....Forgive me this moment of blatant Anger.I have no problem with people finding their faith. I am happy when people have discovered their personal connection to God, to a higher being or entity that makes them see a purpose, a path, a direction for their life... More About: Angry
Broward Carnival - Underlying Issues Revealed
2007-09-12 10:19:00 So....I saw this article a few days ago, and like i said in a previous post i feel for the band leaders and masqueraders that have chosen to be In Broward. I read the article and didn't try to be biased in any way..these are just excerpts you can see the whole article here.What really SCARED the piss out of me, was some of the responses that were posted about the article. I sometimes forget about the deep seated prejudice that still exists even in this culturally rich area of the world.Sun-Sentinel/Andrew Innerarity, September 7, 2007By Alva James-Johnson and Georgia East The costumes already are sparkling, the vendors lined up, and an advertisement blitz well on the way.But the Broward Caribbean Carnival , which attracts thousands of visitors and artists from as far as New York and the Caribbean, is homeless a month before the event.On Thursday, a day after Miramar city commissioners voted against hosting it at a local park, supporters...
