life: WEST INDIAN DAY PARADE 09 + BIRTHDAY BARBECUE

on route to a birthday barbecue, we all managed to stop at the LABOR DAY PARADE. for people who may not know, it’s an annual event that occurs in BROOKLYN and celebrates all WEST INDIAN countries with loud music, great food and non-stop dancing. it’s something that needs to be experienced, at least once in life.


*there’s only one way to get there…the train.


*we wasted no time…CURRY GOAT!


*STEPHEN repping JAMAICA, YOUNG SCOOZLE aka SCOTT repping TRINIDAD and JAMAICA and OSCAR repping DOMINICAN REPUBLIC!


*”NUT CRACKER” does what it says…its a crazy drink.


i met some of my blog readers…it was nice to see some of my readers cute mugs!


*OSCAR and ME. i wore my JORDAN jersey because it perfectly fit the TRINI colorway!


*this baby made me laugh.


*HONDURAS! DEEMEHLOW was excited to see his peeps…


*they held it down!


*we jumped the fence and made our way on the parkway. we couldn’t decide what truck to follow. one TRINIDAD truck was playing SOCA and right behind it was a JAMAICA truck playing REGGAE. SCOTT advised us to follow TRINIDAD and that JAMAICA would be too crazy. we decided to ignore his warnings and follow JAMAICA…needless to say, it was insane and while we were in the crowd someone tattooed my back with a BOB MARLEY portrait.


*this home-made plate was HOT FIYAH! i think curry stains are so sexy!


*COOL CHRIS.


*this angry kid pushed his way through the crowd and i swear he mumbled “i can’t stand these effing west indian fools”. i was like, “yo, chill B” and he was like “hush gal, me nuh know you!”.

i was supposed to have met up with THEOPHILUS, LUCIA and GRACE…but, my fone was acting up. damn, T-MOBILE…how you gonna do me like that?

++++++++++

after that, it was on like donkey kong for more food and fun at EBONY’s barbecue.


*happy newlyweds…


*SABEL lookin’ cute…owwwww! lets have that CHIK-FILET welcome dinner for STRAWBERRY!


*ELLE came out…finally.


*OSCAR telling in an insane story about a dog attack. at this part he was saying: “i called ASPCA as the dog was locked on my arm and i walked home…”. it’s not funny, but the way he tells stories is hilarious.


*what a bunch of knuckle-heads…

like ICE CUBE said, it was a good day…
