2010

And so we start a new year!

How was the last year for you? Will this new one be any better for you?

This year some of us might want to try a New Year's revolution. Yes!... not resolution. Year in and year out we resolve to do something by setting a goal that is soon forgotten. We do this with many things in our lives.

A New Year's revolution is a peaceful fight to make things better for ourselves, those around us and those that indirectly depend on us. Even it you do not believe it... this amounts to a lot of people in the world.

Our smiles, decisions, works, and sheer desire spreads around the world everyday.

It is so so easy to spread a serious faces, indecision, loneliness, and carelessness. This happens since we do not believe that we matter. We do!

Here in lovely Orange Walk... love each other. Do it with fervour. Feel it from deep within.

The love of God that is within all of us is basic and grandiose at the same time. Let it ooze out of everything that you do. Life comes only from there... no where else.

Happy New Year!....and let us do a turn around(a revolution)!

Until!

Anyone into the Thanksgiving celebration? I like the turkey and the food. If you don't like turkey and Thanksgiving in general, don't hate. All you should do is eat the food and say yummy... and that is it. NO BIG DEAL!

The cool weather will soon be here San the rain.

Mein... Christmas........, the feeling is unequaled.

Later.

Omnium-gatherum

The motley crew that feigns at governance of our jewel has approached monumental more than once in terms of errors, malice, uncouthness, and the Pinocchio syndrome. I'm sorry... I had to start with a statement like that. I believe that my readers are highly intelligent. I know that they are questioning everything I write(when they read). ;)

POINT: I truly believe that when you are governing from a position of revenge; you will inordinately sour everything you touch and bitter all your decisions.

The United Democratic Party are in government today since the Belizeans "had no other alternative."... or so the present Prime Minister heartily said before the February 7, 2008 elections. Was he right?

The PUP was riddled with too much baggage collected after 10 years of reigning. Electorates in Belize, maybe elsewhere too, expect the worse of the politicians. The 'small' size of the Belizean population limits the characters in play. Those three factors destroys even saints in our fledgling democracy.

The UDP has added to that list the bitterness gathered over the years while being in the opposition. It is a sad case for Belize. They make decision after decision fueled by this post-opposition syndrome. It is documented everywhere; they are guilty of draconic victimization, land seizures, corporate vicious takeovers, corporate bullying, Super-nepotism all in the name of making the PUP pay for the past ills.

What about moving forward and keeping a nation in the path of growth? The nation has officially moved from recession to contraction. So the economy was not only growing slower but it is getting smaller. All the energies went into the wrong place.

PLEASE! Let's not blame the world economy for this one. The world economy is rebounding. The PM himself said and almost boasted that Belize will be spared economic woes. He said this when the world was crumbling economically last year.

Hey Orange Walk! We have our own circus in town. They are based right off Queen Victoria Avenue and just beside the taxi stands. It is very close to the oppressed market vendors who will be the next to get the monumental 'pinch.'

My question is this: Should Belize Telemedia Corporation have a monopoly over the cable that lands on Belize of The Americas Region Caribbean Ring System (ARCOS-1)?

Belize needs NO malice...only JOY!

This past Saturday the powers of our country met for separate reasons specifically but for the same in general. Everyone wants the best for the jewel and its people. Many a times, this requires difficult decisions and sometimes unwanted solutions. The two major parties in Belize are fighting for dear life...for dear vitality...and long term viability. One has a mayor gone astray--if you ask me she was always a bumbling-stumbling image of falsities that managed to cast herself unto people as a city-saviour. The other has a cancer even if it is a misdiagnosed one.

Perception is an intangible that will always swerve mostly where it is bliss. The wiser one gets the less the masses care or the more they think they are being deceived. Going way back to 1984, people were heard saying "My dog wudda win ina dis election gainst the govament." Such is the same this past 2008 and all the elections in the same time period.

The law of averages does not give any party the ability to field almost no candidate that is not any good. The odds are swayed by perceived malice. Such a state needs to be blotted out.

All in all I think that this weekend was a historical one for Belize. Time well tell on the accuracy of that statement and my projected veracity. Who knows?

Let me sway to a totally other topic. Halloween is here... so how are you celebrating it Orange Walk. I know at this time of the year there are various cavalcades going around town trick and treating. Hey... dont be mean. Prepare some treats for the kids. The JOY that u share is THE thing. Sometimes this joy is topped only by... you know... that day that is exactly 60 days away from today Monday.

Enjoy these pictures.I had promised this one a long time ago!
