Could REAL MEN be made of sugar and spice and things nice?

The famous saying, “behind every successful man is a great woman”, is very true. A great woman who nags, but if not for her nagging I would be lost. A great woman who prays, but if not for her prayers and reminders of faith, I would have given up long ago.
I am resolved that any fool can follow the crowd and struggle to “keep up with the Jones”, but the anthem of a real man is “I did it my way”. Thanks for the song Frank.
Society has dictated the colours we wear, the food we eat and some people even have to buy a certain brand of toilet paper for fear they will lose the friends they think they have. I have decided to go against the grain and “Do it my WAY!”
Lets plan the work week at the office.

The Pants

The Shirts
The Accessories
Sadly colourful shoes in size 13 are hard to find, but with these guys,
the socks can “shine through”.
And behind the purple phone wallet lives the PINK Xperia Acro S,
FAR MORE than just a phone.
The previous pictures were taken with the GREEN Fuji XP60.
SO LETS DO IT OUR WAY AND ADD SOME COLOUR TO OUR LIVES!
Lets immerse ourselves into the diverse cultures around us. Let’s eat curry with our Indian friends, dinuguan with the Filipinos and don’t be afraid to try new things.
Bravery can have great rewards, even diarrhea is a blessing as it removes the toxins.

My life’s motto: EVERYDAY IS JUST ANOTHER DAY ON VACATION. Thanks be to God.
ESPECIALLY FOR SHE WHO IS BEHIND ME.
I forgot my other favourite shoes....

Politicians, politicians, why do we need them?

I am a voter in the district of Bodden Town, but these thoughts apply to all.
In Bodden Town for the past 20+ years citizens have asked for speed bumps on Manse Road and no government has ever tried to provide. Today it continues to be a racetrack and a danger to our kids. Currently at the corner of Guard House and Manse Road there lives a gang and their squatters who constantly play loud music at ungodly hours every day, plus deal and use marijuana. We are hoping politicians this time will deal with these issues.
Unfortunately since Adam campaigned in Eden, politicians have made promises regarding three issues and failed to keep them.
(1) Improve education. The citizens of tomorrow need to learn Reading, Writing, Math and the application of current technology. Those who desire excel at these. When I heard Mr. Bush comment on his pride that Cayman was finally reaching the level of education in Singapore, the truth (or lies) of political rhetoric hit home. When we, over 40, need assistance with our phones and tablets, we turn to our kids who are smarter than we are.
(2) Reduce Crime. There will always be crime. There must be a balance of good and evil. Some will steal from the rich and give to the poor, while some steal from all to line their own pockets but through it all we always find a few honest persons. Besides, our Christian heritage has thought us that man is born with the desire to do evil.
(3) Jobs/Prosperity for all. There are stories of the pauper who became a prince, the kid from Watler's Road who became the bank president or the prostitute who changed the world. Those who want to excel will apply themselves and become great. But those who don’t care will reject whatever programs are offered and continue to look for a free ride.
It is difficult to find a reason to waste my time voting; besides we live in a Christian country and God is in control of all and whatever He has planned will unfold no matter how man tries to redirect the course of events. It is my hope that these thoughts may encourage political hopefuls to be persons of integrity whose goal is to improve the quality of life for all citizens.
