de ting start

alright. ah reach. lemme get straight to the point...

when yuh search for a definition of the word masquerader, usually you get some lil ads and ting advertising Trinidad and/or Trini carnival. try it. i'll wait...

yuh reach back? nice! wha ah tell yuh? ah lie? *sigh* now all that well and good eh, ah cyah get vex with the rest of the world seeing us as ppl who are totally preoccupied with Carnival and tings mas related, because that is true to some extent. what does get me sick is that they feel that dong here daize all we does do- yuh know what, that is ah totally different tack. lemme get back to what the point of this here blog is.

ah never play mas. that is the troot. in all meh 26 years ah never put on a carnival costume and wine in de road for two days. it looks like great fun, and i never hear a complaint against playing marse yet ('cept de fus year island ppl come out. Lord Jesus- ah never hear ppl cuss so about bad road service! a problem that they have since fixed). i see pics year in and year out of ppl smiling in the streets of PoS, waving for the camera...and is shame too. scenario: "aye girl who u play marse wid this year?" "i ent play marse girl" (add in look of horror/disbelief) "WHAT??" ...you get the picture. ppl have this idea of what it is to be trini and marse is a big part of dat. marse and cricket. so, its not peer pressure or anything...more curiosity, i guess.

so then, this blog is ah chronicle of my journey in finding the correct costume in a band. ah go talk about de ups, dongs and typical tantana of finding a section. now, i really doh know about this bloggin ting eh- is chain up ah get chain up...and fed up ah get fed up of reading other ppl non-objective opinions. i will be as real and as true to dis ting as i can be. ah just prayin God that i have de stamina and de discipline to make posts everyday- regardless of if i ent get meh daily doubles.

comment, post info- all ah dat in it. ah jus askin please...keep de ting clean. nice.

right- daize it dey! de ting start!
