Carnival.....bleh

My boyfriend and I are home for the weekend. Unless he has to work, we eh going a place.

I think back to my childhood and I would admit Carnival was not a big thing at home. I played kiddies Carnival once. I think I irritated my mother by always insisting that we reach on time for all the venues we had to go, only to wait for hours.

My father listened to a lot of the old time calypsoes as well as the calypsoes at Calypso Fiesta and Dimanche Gras, so maybe that's where I got my appreciation for the artform. But I never saw my mother play mas. I think my sister played when she was small. My brother never played.

When I think of Carnival now, I think it's over priced and really not worth the money. I wouldnt go a fete in Soca Broadway, so that leaves the all-inclusives. I eh drinking and eating $400 worth and I eh like soca that much, so I paying all that money for a lime? NAH!

There were some shows that I wanted to take in however; Lucky Diamond Horsheclub and the 3Canal show; I just didnt make it :(

I hope everyone enjoys their Carnival and they are safe.
