Sick Day

Its official I despise tropical fevers.. They are annoying and serve no purpose except to bring you down. It is simply amazing the myriad of forms of this ailment which can be found.. and the fact that all of them can hit you at the same time is something that amazes me no end.. I mean get in line and take a number.. and give a poor guy a break.. As i write this the aches pains my fever left behind serve as a constant reminder of my bout with what ever viral element which entered my system. Ok ok this may sound like a lunatics ravings.. But its been a long 2days. and being in bed was never fun when ur sick..

So my advice next time u think tropical paradise pack enough antibiotics to sink a battleshi

"Thank you for voting" - food for thought

I was at the lionel wendt on Saturday to witness the newest stage creation by StageFrightandPanic Ltd.. "Thank you for voting". a humorous play about the rise and political career of the politician Chandima PussWeddilla.. It was clear that the play had drawn heavily on the current political circus in our country.. but i shall elaborate further on that later.

the play did'nt really live up too my expectations when considering previous productions by the same theater company. It did have lots of funny lines but the humor was not creative at all. most of the punch lines where painfully obvious and where reused quite often. In a play that went on for a bit too long.. They could have ended it on some high notes earlier on but in dragging the play on lost a bit of the interest and humorous atmosphere they created earlier on. Most of the group I went with did laugh alot but admitted that the humor was not off the standard they expected.
Enough of the negatives .. some positives where definitely the many english phrases and sayings that were warped and presented by Honorable minister Pussweddilla
In truth the play for did effectively capture the political farce that exists in this country I shall not name the factions the play may have portrayed on stage.. But it is safe to say that they left no stoned unturned WINK.
Aside from its shortcomings.. what I liked the most was the message it sends.. to me having such a play shows that the people in this country at least a few of them do believe that whats going in our supposed "paradise isle" is not right and that they will no longer sit back and stay quiet. Even though it was humorously depicted the corruption which is rampant in our state was clearly shown.. If nothing else I think the theater company deserves an award for being brave enough to put this play on the boards..
For me personally it left me happy because it showed me that there are people amongst us who still believe in the freedoms that i too hold dear. So in closing i think it was a worthwhile to watch this play.. and i hope that StageFrightandPanic will come up with a better production along the same lines soon..
