Valentines who? A friend from London jus called.. guess who forgot what day it was! :) I am sleep deprived and merry like Christmas .. today is Bacchanal Wednesday official start of Carnival week.People, words can't ever describe what Carnival in Trinidad is really like.. but last night, or rather, this morning, as I was floating higher than High in front the stage as Machel Montano HD finished his set I thought to myself.. does it get any better than this?
Drink in hand, pelting waist on a sweet Trini man, HD rocking on the stage, the crowd around jumping in unison. Not a care in the world... and guess what? It does get better.. Monday and Tuesday.. sun beating we backs, wearing next to nothing, glitter on every body part, prancing through the streets of Port of Spain. [Drink in hand and Sugar Boy in back standard] ;)
Honestly, there is nothing else in the world quite like it. Don't study how long the walk, yuh ent getting tired.. the vibe and the high pushing you along. All your worries left on the side of the road. *Carnival in T&T, is so special to alla we, Like we need blood in we veins, thats how we feel about Port of Spain..* We in the home stretch for Carnival 2K7 .. we going straight back to Ash Wednesday. The crews from all over arriving.. All di bands dem lining up.. All di trucks dem loading up.. READY FOR MAS AGAIN!
Don't think you will hear from me again till I have recovered. Allyuh have a safe and happy Carnival. SOCA or DIE! :)
