Going thru it...

It has been a rough few months, and more so a rough 2 weeks. I haven't been up to it mentally during that time period, and while I'm still going thru some stuff, I am getting better. We all have been thru it this year. All kinds of life change trauma, but the fact that you are still here shows that you deserve a hug or self five. Keep fighting on.

The Return

Well it has been 3 long, hard months, but I am back with a longer than usual episode that just barely scrapes the surface of issues we're dealing with in sweet T&T. Compounded by the global problems, we in Trinbago need to show our unity and strength that the working class has. Power of our pockets. High food prices, high fuel prices, increasing transportation prices, and overall increasing stress.

Project July: Episode 1 - Travel

Project July returns for its 3rd edition and I start with a simple episode and question:

If you were fired from your present job, what sort of work would you undertake/wish for? That's the question, and my answer is simple: travel.

Bora Bora, Europe, and South East Asia are just some places I would really love to visit. What are some of yours?

How are you feeling?

A simple question that can provide huge answers. How are you feeling? Not how are you reacting to the world. Ask yourself this question and watch the answers come to you. Try not to push anything away, allow what comes, to come.

Crime, Privacy, and Safety.

We should never give up our privacy for safety, nor dehumanize our fellow man in the name of crime stopping. Yes it is difficult but calling them cockroaches makes us no less. A pig in mud will always win the fight as he loves the mud.

Mid year review:- What was and what can be.

As the title says, it is a mid-year mini recap. What has happened and what we have control over going forward. From monkeypox to financial uncertainty, this year offered hope, but is now seen as a continuation of the previous two years. What will happen next is both intriguing and interesting.

The Richest Man..

No matter your age, financially knowledge is always good to receive, and today's is just about that. Based on the highly popular book The Richest Man in Babylon, the pointers presented are meant to be guides towards better monetary choices. If you ever get a chance to read that book, please do.

THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE!!!

Gut Feeling

Sometimes it is good to trust that gut feeling we all get from time to time. Our personal spidey sense. It saved my last week from thousands of dollars worth of damage due to rain, however it taught me a valuable lesson. Weighting the pros and cons before making a decision, even if that was just to go and lime.

Vox Populi, Vox Dei

How can 1 group of people be so disconnected from the very society they "represent"? After the mental strain of pandemic and it's various lockdowns, now isn't the time to add financial strain on the population all in the name profit. Now isn't the time to break the backs of the very people you said you wanted to saved. Now is the time, however, to move forward from the way we worked into the future.

Guard thy purse!!!

With Trinidad and Tobago set to remove most of their covid 19 restrictions today, Monday 4th April 2022, the attention shifts now to prices increasing yet salaries are stagnant, and more so losing buying power and therefore losing value. The one bright spot we have seen coming out of this pandemic is however, is the power of our pockets. We can decide where to spend OUR money to get the most out of it and if the merchants fail to appease us, then we move on. They need us just as we need, most, of them. Spend wisely.

What is true and what isn't?

Is the truth really out there? Or is it something that can be hidden?

What this pandemic has shown us is that it(the truth) can be whatever the loudest person wants it to be. And by the time we know better, it is too late.

Knowing that; can we imagine how much of history is filled with false information that we will NEVER find the truth about? Think about it. 

A lie goes sprinting before the truth puts on its pants.

A conflicting point of view..

I'm back and a bang is an understatement with this episode. I look forward to your comments on this topic as my views on it aren't especially "mainstream". 

Hope you're having a wonderful day, week, month, year.

Mandatory vaccination

First episode for the year, and it is a big one. 

Why mandatory? What are the pros and cons? Are there legal grounds? also should Governments accept liability? 

To be crystal clear, I am NOT against the vaccine.

International Men's Day

After a week off, we are back for the long season ahead. International Men's Day is the right time to return as this is something that seems to be over looked year after year. When someone from a small twin island nation like Trinidad and Tobago has a massive impact or influence on our culture such as Dr. Jerome Teelucksingh, responsible for creating/starting International Men's Day, an added pride is generated. 

How much has changed? How much has remained the same? And what can/will be done are spoken about in today's special episode.

Greed, Corruption, and Me.

The major difference is we don't have access to the insane amount of money they have but the mindset, in most cases, is the same.

Corruption, for the most part, comes down to the individual. So you gotta ask yourself, "what would you do if you were in that position?"
