Tropical Storm Ike Projected Path

Listen.. FEAR THIS ONE. Ike is a bad mother Trucker… did you not see how the man batta bruise tina.. I dont want that no where near my country. Anyway The hurricane season is clearly ripe. A whole 3 systems in the space of a few days.. Wow. Also I’ve noticed the consistency in which Jamaica is affected by these weather systems have really increased. Before ivan in 2004 there was Gilber which was in 88. That is like almost my frigging age.. welll not exactly but you get what i’m saying. Since ivan however They just been flowing in. What will next year look like.. I wonder.

Anyway Ya’ll need to keep an eye on ike and hanna as she could do anything at this point. I swear these hurricanes and Tropical sorm / weather systems all confused and unsure what they doing at all. Pray for your country mang… We bounced back from Gustav quickly because it was a Tropical storm going to hurricane however it did sooo much damage as a T.S  making a direct hit.. Imagine if it was a Cat 2 or 3. It would be over for us.

I work in a web oriented workspace right. One where technically i really shouldn’t need to leave my house to go to work. Now in the world of the web we know  a few things.

1. content is king - he who has it rules the land.. err web
2. The first with it - Generally has his way with the people [ if i come to your site and you don't have content early.. i go elsewhere ]
3. Photos People want pictures man - you know they hate reading. show them something of photo nature and they gobble it up. and digg it and stumble it and tweet it and everything you can think of int he social networking sphere that will spike you traffic so high you web server will have a stroke.
4. The web is taking over stop fighting it and embrace it you dumb bastards
5. delivering news on tree martyrs News papers wont cut it no more not in this world of I WANT IT FASTER I NEED TO KNOW IT NOW. where people are blogging from their mobile phones and checking other bloggers rssfeeds for updates and reading their news from tmz via rss as well. printing a magazine just aint so cool anymore. cuz bythe time u hit the stands the users already got the news they needed via the web.
6. This race is definitely for the fast / swift and st.. no smart.. cuz only the dumb wont adapt.

Yea thats a few stuff from my rant.. this goes back to a little chat Gordon and I had yesterday about dumb ass newspaper companies in general.

I’ve always read about this but never actually seen a real life example. Meaning someone go into a market place in need of a job and just said.. hmmm since there are no jobs available i will create one for my self. I”m not sure of who is responsible for it in jamaica. Or it was just something that happen by chance. However a new occupation has been created.. and it is called “bus loader”.

Now you may laugh and say WHAT THE FUCKIS THIS YUTE TALKING BOUT (typing bout). Well its simple. I”ve seen it morning after morning and its the same set of people therefore i can basically say that is their occupation. They get up. really early. Hit the bus stops and convice people that this is the bus they need to take to get to their destination. This allows the conductor to rest up.. or help them.. so they can get out of the bus park in a quicker manner. This in turns increases efficiency and overall productivity for the day and up revenues for the week. Less time on the bus stand is equivalent to more trips which is equivalent to more money. The price they pay is minimal. I think I’ve seen them pay each bus loader 20 dollars on each load.

Note the relationship between the loaders and the bus’s are strictly free lance and a many to one relationship sometimes 5 guys are loading one bus. anyway. the amount of buss’s tha tpass through a bus station / stand in a day are.. like i dunno (ALOT) and they pass through several times a day. I”m really curious to know how much cash do they earn on a daily basis. It must be decent. not substantial but decen enough for them to come out the next day. and the next day and the next day.

Kind of an interesting observation I’ve been making over the past weeks. Just thought I’ld share.
