What cruel beign gives, you all but all he takes away
He tells you horde and seek happiness, He shall o'er you watch
But from his vultures perch
he swoops down and take it all
thene sends you back to church.
Born in a middle class society
Gender roles well defined
Taught to be the perfect child
Academic success was well rewarded
But the social life was told to wait.
With puberty, the fruit of knowledge came
My differences were made apparent
I came to see that all I am was not what I was taught to be
A fag has no place in this society
he has no sanctuary in a place of faith.
He does what he can
He hides and aches
HIs secrets fester beneath his skin
eventually his will power breaks
and to lust and love he gives in.
But this relationship was doomed from the start
As both are afraid to give their heart
for society says if two men are in love
they should be mocked and hated
and their freedom must depart.
So here i sit a pondering
The cruelty of life
Must i lose my family
my happiness
because I'll have no wife. |

Why on earth can't i have a simple semester? Every single semester is major drama and I cant handle this for very much longer...between almost getting deported, pushed out of my major, not being able to register, turned down by a professor who had agreed to teach me an Indep. study which is putting me a semester behind. LIKE FREDONIA WHAT THE FUCK DID I DO TO YOU.
Today is Ash Wednesday been fasting all day i cant deal with the BS. Today i spent so much time just trying to register for classes it was ridiculous. The grad school and the Registry has no clue what they are doing...grrrrrrrrrrr.
I was supposed to have finished up a project for a history class i am taking it was freaking ridiculous...4 chapt. to read from one book, another other on to read from cover to cover, about 200pg of random articles and then we had to write up a number of lesson plans to incorporate a minimum of 6 articles and also write an essay on the articles we chose.
Add that to reading 3 chapters for classical period in musicand analysing 5 pieces, trying to plan a syllabus for an indep. study which was also due today, I also had to read 3 books to understand what i was planning. Plus he asked me to read a bunch of stuff to discuss with him this morning.
I am almost at the point of telling the school a big FU. |

| WEDDINGS!!! |
[Jan. 6th, 2008|08:31 pm] |
Ok what the fuck is up with some of these bridezillas today. I think I have plared at the most funniest and disasterous weddings. Here are some fun weddings I hav done:
1. July 2004: Tryall estate, Mobay, Jamaica
" We couldn't hear you!"
Nice sunny afternoon winds were about 40mph, we were on a cliff by the beach, within the first 15 mins of setting up the wedding arch flew off the cliff, the waiters lost 15 plates when they flew off the table, the bride had her veil almost blown away. NOw with all of this happening ahe was trying to refuse to pay the musicians because they could bearly hear the music...i supposed if she could, she would have sued God for the wind.
2. July 2004: Sts. Peter & Paul, Kingston, Jamaica:
"from the top repeat it again"
The Bride showed up over 1 hr late to the wedding, we began the Canon in D by Pachebell, we played the piece 4 times through before she made it up the aisle: She stopped at the door of the church and cried made a couple of steps and cried, a couple more and cried. About 6 pews from the top she held onto the pew and started to BAWL. Nothing her father did could move her. Well eventually she made it up to the altar. When the recessional came she ran out of the church dragging the groom with her.
3. July 2005: Coyaba MoBay, Jamaica
" I wasn't sure of the quality of music so..."
Here's what was said: We have all the music on CD just move the bows...
$200 later I was a happy man [a bit insulted but hey it was a free night in a 4 diamond hotel *beats 5 stars* and all u can eat food].
4. Aug. 2005 Straberry Hills, Jamaica
"my hands hurt"
The bride was staying at the hotel that the wedding was at but she somehow managed to be 2 hrs late for a 3pm wedding
5. Aug.2006: Erie State Park, Fredonia,NY
"Silence is golden but Duct tape is silver"
Well like the Tryall wedding this broad got the idea of having the wedding on a cliff near a large body of water. 40mph winds...we head to duct tape the stands to the floor..hehe
6.Dec. 2006: Half Moon Villas, Mobay, Jamaica
"What...huh..what piece?"
The bride insists that the musicians need to be on the four sides of the balcony upstairs while the wedding takes place downstairs....the place was huge we couldnt even hear each other lol...We got paid that was all that mattered.
7. Aug. 2007: Runawaybay, Jamaica
"uhhh...Where's the accompanist"
Well I voluteered to play for my friends wedding if he got the organist...well there was no organist and 2 weeks before the wedding i found out....so i had to do all the tracks on my computer.
8. Dec. 2008: Dunn's River Falls
"I want the natural sound of the instruments"
HAve you ever been to a large water fall? Well this woman decided she wants a string quartet at the waterfalls but she wants no amplification just the natural sounds...lets just say moving the bow wound produce the same results as us playing. |

Hi guys,
Its time for an update. Well this time around i am finding a footing in Jamaican gay life. I wanted to come out to my mom again but ultimately she was too busy. I am shocked at my grades for last semester, I managed to pull of all A's. I thought i would have done badly.
Its sad that Fredonia has now become my home. I feel like a guest in my parents house. I just cant see myself ever coming back to this. No privacy everyone keeping checks on your movement. |

If love's a sweet passion why does it torment?
If a bitter, oh, tell me where comes my content?
Since I suffer with pleasure, why should I complain or Greive at my fate?
When I know t'is in vain?
Yet so pleasing the the pain is
so soft is the dart
that at once wouds me and tickles my heart

Well with all done there is nothing to do but sit and wait my brother and i have sealed every door to the exterior with duct tape. we have machetes and guns at every window should any looters try to take our storm shutters. We can bearly move around in the house as all the patio furniture is inside plus we have barrels of water stored up for drinking. I am now bonding better with my brother so i guess its not a complete loss. I dont want any of u to wish i were there. I am happy to be here where i can help out my family. Plus if i were there I would be a nervous wreck worrying about them.
The hurricane should hit anytime between 11am and 2pm. The power company will shut off electricity to all grids early tomorrow morning. WE are just beginning to feel the winds right now.
I love u all. It might take a while before i can contact any of u again.
:-)

So my lovely Adventure began at 5:45am. Spencer being the good housemate as he is took me to buffalo but after that things went down hill. US Air couldn't find my Reservation. So they had to twidle around with their computers for 20 mins. Then I had to stand aside for another 15. I barely made the final boarding call. then we moved off from the gate but there were a couple of flights waiting to takeoff so we sat for 30mins.
Got into Laguardia in NYC and took the shuttle to JFK. Air Jamaica cancelled my flight to Kingston and so they decided to bus the other passengers and myself to Newark , NJ. The fun part was that they sent over 60people in 8 person shuttles at 1pm. AKA LUNCHTIME TRAFFIC. We almost missed the plane they had to hold it for us. then when we went to pull out the runway was jam packed. 9 planes trying to get out of there at once...FUN!!!!
Now lets take into consideration I haven't had a meal all day and i had practically had ohhh 20mins sleep. So we landed in Motego Bay at 6:30pm. Only thing is the restaurants in the airport close at 6. I ran to gate 3 to catch my connecting flight to kingston. Looked out the window, no plane. So I ask this skanky ass fake as press on nails cactus up her ass drag witch from Air Jamaica what time was the plane arriving and she ejaculated " whe yuh ah ax me fah mi look like seh mi ah Gahd" I had to hold my tongue because I would have shown her we queens curse.
The plane finally landed at 8:55pm. So we didnt board till 9:20 and I didnt get to kingston till 9:50. By the time i cleared immigrations and customs its was like 11:00. Oh man that was the trip from hell |

| Die Wahlen |
[Jul. 23rd, 2007|07:40 pm] |
so hier sitze ich schön in die Bibliothek
denke was ich machen soll.
Habe ich kein Geld, keinen Man
wenigen Freunden es gefällt so schlecht
So bleibe ich hier oder zurückgehen
Tod oder leben ohne lieben
Ich möchte nitch beide mitnehmen
aber man muß wählen. |
