Oh, & the title of the post is from the song they kept referring to in the film -- just in case you haven't seen it yet ;)

Just because I've been listening to Jay-Z & Kanye's new song, Otis, on repeat.

 And, it's one of the best -- & stylish -- metaphors in the song. xo

Barbados from my iPHONE

The high cost to hang out:

We don’t mean to be spoilsports, but how are Barbadians able to attend the myriad high-profile entertainment shows that have proliferated the cultural landscape in the last three months and still make ends meet from day to day?

With an economy that is being buffeted by rising oil prices and the knock-on effect of slow economic growth in our major trading partners Britain and the United States, followed by not-too-favourable ratings by Moody’s Investment Services, is it unreasonable to expect Barbadians not to splurge?

Bajan food @ Wisers Brandon beach restaurant. De food was nice but de waitress had no manners… 

Mullins Bay, Barbados

Barbados is stuck with the unfortunate problem of what to do when conservation efforts go wrong.  The construction of sea walls and other measure to prevent erosion have ironically led to increased erosion.  However, this is not the only threat to these beaches as rising sea levels are also a concern.  The eastern side of the island has experienced less detrimental construction, so beach goers might want to begin their visit there.

The view outside my patio

This photograph of the Combermere Abbey library was taken in 1891 by Sybell Corbet. The figure of a man can faintly be seen sitting in the chair to the left. His head, collar and right arm on the armrest are clearly discernable. It is believed to be the ghost of Lord Combermere.

Lord Combermere is connected to another well-known paranormal story: the famous “Moving Coffins” of Barbados. The coffins inside the sealed vault of the Chase family are said to have been moved about by unnatural forces. The heavy coffins were repeatedly put in proper order, but often when a new coffin was added to the vault, the coffins were found strewn about. Lord Combermere, while governor of Barbados, had ordered a professional investigation of the mystery.

Picture of myself. Knew you guys were waiting for one.

I wish I had the accent.  I can mimic it though.  I’m a generation removed.  My dad’s side are the ones from Barbados.  I do have that “talking fast and being incoherent” problem often though.

Lady Gaga's Birthday Gift*

March 28 Born This Day concert continued:

when Lady Gaga's bully got the role of Dorthy at school: “I will never forget it because I wanted to be Dorothy so bad," said Lady Gaga. "I was in 8th grade and she was a senior. I definitely deserved to get it, but I didn’t get it. I remember she would speak in the dressing room while she was getting ready, I was one of the people in the chorus, the worst role."

"She used to pour Coca Cola on her shoes to keep her from slipping on stage. She would pour Coca Cola on her shoes and look at me and say...”just in case I slip.”

"On behalf of myself and all of those bullied around the world, now these fucking ruby slippers are mine.”

Prior to singing 'Born This Way' she said, "When you don’t feel like Dorothy today, maybe you feel like someone on the chorus or the Scare Crow or maybe you feel like the Tin Man or the Wicked Witch--just know you will have opportunities in your real life to change things and maybe someone, somebody will hand you a pair of ruby slippers."
