Black River Safari- Jamaica

I did a tour of the Black River in St. Elizabeth, Jamaica Yesterday via the Black River Safari tour. It was actually quite interesting. I had fun but it was mostly relaxing and i loved that. The boat ride was comfortable and lasted about and hour and a half. My tour guide was fun. He even pulled of the scripted jokes, had me laughing a bit. He's also, along with the other tour guides, white, without knowing it...(no disrespect to white people, i'm not racist) but u know i get that white persons do crazy stuff mentality from TV, because under no circumstances was anyone gonna get to me to rubbing shoulders with any alligators. Nehoo here are my sparse pictures. I'm not a professional as you will soon see but i took some pictures anyway.

Pizza Hut's Shoddy Service

Now, I'm never one to put up with crappy service from anywhere. I am not particularly receptive to bad service, i just don't put up with foolishness on a whole. So imagine my shock with dealing with Pizza Hut Liguanea, Kingston, Jamaica!!! I'm sitting here going "what the phuck!!!"


I called Pizza Hut at 6:30 and ordered my usual, medium Hawaiian. As usual the receptionist took my order and told me 45 minutes to an hour. They've never actually delivered within an hour (i live 15 mintues, MAX from the store) so i don't know why i don't just say delivery in one hour. Anyway I waited, didnt bat an eyelash till after an hour. Unlike my usual self i didn't call i just busied my self watching TV. But then 8:00 rolled around and I'm like no man, this is serious. So i call. The young lady put me on hold for one minute, for what reason i don't know. I'm waiting patiently. He comes back and takes my information and then proclaims that she is going to check to see if the pizza had left the store yet. So i'm thinking, after hour and a half she gonna check to see if it's left yet....YOU ARE KIDDING RIGHT....anyway i wait...5 minutes later she still hasn't returned...so i'm rather pissed, mostly at myself for waiting for 5 minutes. So i hang up. I'm sitting there waiting for a call, someone from Pizza Hut to say "sorry for keeping you waiting, your pizza...etc etc....no such luck....

at 8:30 , i here the bike. I'm surprised...by this time i've gone to make myself an open face bread and cheese sandwich bc i'm starving. I go outside and nicely, so unlike me, tell him that i'm no longer interested in the pizza because it has taken 2 hours. Of course, i guess according to his training he tries to convince me to take it. So i politely tell him no thanks and go back inside. I even leave the light on till he left...how nice of me right...

8:38 my phone rings...Hmmm who could this be calling me from a private number. I answer...Its Pizza Hut...wow i'm shocked, someone was calling to apologize for the horrid service...wow...NOT...can you believe, its the little half starving delivery man calling. So he apologizes for the late delivery and tells me that he lost out because no delivery was made, i told him to take it up with his management. Then he goes on to tell me that he also delivers fruits, if i'm interested, i tell him no....then...and and i'm still shocked he continues to say "i really liked how you look thats what i was really calling to tell you" what the fuck!!!!! Are you kidding me, tell me this shit is not for real. Thats where the conversation ended. Its now 8:43 and i'm still wondering if all that crap just happened...

How dare Pizza Hut make my number available to this man. Its bad enough he knows where I live. It can't be safe. Now he has my number, to call as he pleases. To turn up at my yard in the event he feels he has a better chance that way. Hello...Of course this has totally changed my outlook on delivery services. I will never again, order out for delivery. I will definitely be lodging a complaint, and i won't bother to waste my time calling. I'll strut my behind down to Liguanea tomorrow. God knows what will happen, but i will feel better at least i tried. This guy might do this again, or something worse. I'm sure as hades never taking the chance to make it be me again. Its dangerous enough just walking around on the road without me inviting danger into my home.

Kung Fu Panda


So after a ridiculously horrible day, I decided i needed to laugh and smile and relax and chill and calm myself down....(all without any alcohol, quite a feat) but i figured it out; i decided to drag my behind to Cineplex and watch Kung Fu Panda.

I well expected there to be a bunch of little ones but as luck would have it, i chose to go watch the movie on a day where a whole class of what seemed like 6-8 yr olds were gonna be there. Yeah me...Anyway i had no problems really, turns out i really love kids and they don't bug me at all...( i leave that to adults)...As much as i love them i sat way out of their reach, didn't want any soda or popcorn butter getting all over im in their excitement. But some things occured to me while i was there....the first thing was this:

The theater was very very noisy as it usually is before the movies starts, during the trailers and ads etc. But i was shocked out of my wits when The National Anthem started to play and i could hear a pin drop. I mean all these kids and it was pretty much almost full stood up on cue and were religiously quiet. I felt so proud, i mean i know the adults do it and its probably the only time we show patriotism but to be honest i didn't expect it from the kids. Yeah adults u did at least one thing right.

Now the next thing though, i just couldn't get. As the movie wore on, the kids started to get restless and naturally noisy. This is normal, i mean, duh, they are kids, and people started saying "sshhhh" and "be quiet" and some people behind me we commenting that these kids dont know how to behave and saying things like, "why dem won't keep quiet" and i'm thinking to myself...."YOU'RE KIDDING RIGHT!". You expect kids to sit nice and quiet for 2 hours especially through parts of the movie that required a little bit more than a funny bone and the sense of humour or an 8 yr old to get? Why are adults so clueless when it comes to understanding kids. Adults wont even sit and keep their behind quiet for a long time much less kids... Hello- news flash its NORMAL.....

I guess one of my pet peeves is adults treating kids like second class citizens or not understanding them. Get a pamphlet, read a book, take a class or summen. Most of what kids are has a lot to do with the adults around them...get a clue man...do it for the kids (i couldnt help the cliche statment at the end, but i'm serious).
The End
