ISLAND IN THE SUN
CHUBBY ON HIATUS!
During this time I will be:
Waking up to Roosters
Riding a bike down the road to Lost Beach
Waiting for the fishermen to come
Caught in an elbowing match with old ladies for fat fish
Snoring on the beach till lunch
Sipping on fresh fruit punch
Picking up sea shells with my cousins
Shooting the shit with family
Playing Dominoes with old men with no front teeth
Waiting to see who will pass out first from the 99 proof rum
Listening to duppy stories
Eating boiled banana and fish dumpling
Begging my shy female cousins to go to the disco
Pleading with my male cousins to take me out because my female cousins won't
Driving my parents around Sav La Mar
Making the motorcycle taxis zoom me up and down Mango Hall Rd
Modeling on the bike for the taxi drivers to take pics
Getting lost in Lucea
Arguing with lawyers over property
Jet-Skiing
Fending off men at the beach
Taking long showers with well water
Making a list of items my cousins want me to send them
Reminding them that money doesn't grow on trees
Listening to my mother's laugh
Missing my cat, Pooter
Feeding food scraps to the pet pigs
Listening to the frogs that sound like crickets
Smelling the hickory aroma of country air
Hiding from wicked Ms. Winnie
Watching Daddy get drunk and try to walk
Explaining to strangers why Americans hate chubby women
Helping Sudike with his winter break project
Teaching Demar how to use the internet
Cleaning the kitchen after Carol cooks
Fetching the goats
Driving the youngsters to Burger King in Negril
Fucking the first tall, dark man that walks down the road
Making empty promises that I'll write to him when I return to the states
Hitting Negril's tourist strip to buy trinkets for staff
Learning the new dances
Taking pictures of Sudike and Donjay pop wheelies
Watching Jamaican soap operas
Winding my waist and rolling my belly
Explaining to Uncle Shirley why I'm not married yet
Nursing my mosquito bites
Chasing baby goats
Willie Bouncin' at a dancehall concert
Getting conceited from all the attention
Hiding while cousin Mark kills the chicken
Hiding on Sunday to avoid going to service with auntie
Visiting relatives I don't remember
Working at cousin Marlons roadside bar
Turning down wedding proposals from Rasta Everton
Forgetting my life back in the states
Waking up to Roosters
Riding a bike down the road to Lost Beach
Waiting for the fishermen to come
Caught in an elbowing match with old ladies for fat fish
Snoring on the beach till lunch
Sipping on fresh fruit punch
Picking up sea shells with my cousins

You know that's bad, you gotta turn down the bedding ... I mean wedding proposals from the natives. And it's funny how all of my friends from the Island's have that same ubiquitous list making habit before their hiatus.
Enjoy. Relax. Release.
