very quickly … today i missed my appointment to get a male brazilian wax .. however I am going and getting it done on Friday.

However I have my first date with a girl tonight .. desert and calico jacks beach bar for open mic night .. should be fun.

I guess even though i have written very little those two events may bring about some more writing and maybe even phots you never know.

Becky I hope you are honored that i am finally seeking the penalty of the bet that you so wrongly took advantage of me on … email me if you are curious of the goigns on and results.

Last night we went out and had a blast in honor of Marks last night of freedom .. no gags .. no seran wrap (cling film) but lots of drink, lots of misbehaving etc etc. This album is protected to people who are on my Flickr Friends list .. I don’t have any right now .. but I am wanting to use flickr for my photos now so if you want to see them or most of them unless i make them public you won’t get to. Either way .. some of these pics are restricted just cause what happens at play stays at play so only some people will get to see these. But it was fun !

So we have a new government here in Grand Cayman .. interesting times ahead. The rumours are that he is anti tourism and anti expats .. so I am screwed if that is true. click here to read about it
I don’t think he will go aggressively out changing the way things are now, but he can always introduce measures of how easy it is to get things done like work permits or set up new companies etc. I guess we will wait and see, as it stands right now I am coming up to 7-8 years of living here on work permit so I will need to be thinking about my residency (immigration laws state you can stay 7 years before having to apply)

Batabano is probably one of the lamest caribbean festivals ever where by a whole week of activities is organised and very few are known about. In fact the only thing I know of that everyone knows about even if they don’t attend is the parade, which can be quite good .. but is always just lacking in something. This year however was really quite good fun for me as in every segment of the parade there were people that i knew.. and it’s always friends that make things better .. so when they come up and do the whole caribbean parade thing for you it makes ya smile. And besides lots of girls walking down the street in a bikini with feather coming out from behind them is always a nice sight.
I haven’t attached all my photos but here are some that are of people i know or seem to capture the event nicely.
