Never Cuss The Bridge That Ya Cross...

So we all have family overseas eh? Whether they got there front track or back track it doesn't matter, becuase at the end of the year we know we gon get we nice barrel or box full with 99c chocolate, a few old clothes they grow outa, couple envelope with USD$20 fuh share between the pickney dem and well you know the rest. Well seeing that America is now going through some real tough times, I'm so sorry to let you know that you ain't getting no frigging barrel fuh this year and couple years to come. We can all name a few people we know personally that left Guyana dissing it up because they knew they were going to pursure the so called "American Dream". Ahhhh.. well don't let them fool you guys, they haven't found it yet and it doesn't seem like they will for a long long time. The funny thing is, despite the fact that the economy is so ficked up right now, ya family still insisting on you to come live there. Isn't that true? What ever happened to "visit"? No! family ain't want ya come visit no more they want you come and shy root in Queens. I guess Misery loves Company ! If ya think that is bad, then what do you think about those "over night Yankees"? Oh man, I certainly know a few. Dem was dead dead Guyanese to the bone up to CBJ Airport, and the minute dem plane land JFK, they turn Yankee. That's the reality of things folks. It really cracks me up to hear some of them speak with the " overnight accent" and then they accidentally pop in the guyanese accent. Thats the kodak moment for me. And what about those that suffering from amnesia eh? Yes you know what I'm talking about. The ones that can't believe Guyana got actual roads and not mud dam, the ones that can't believe Guyana got a Mall, working cellphones, Direct TV, Internet and even the ones that may ask if Cow does still eat grass a Guyana....Is it that they are ashamed, embarrassed and feeling regretful, knowing that they had a realively stable life here and now they juggling 3-4 jobs a week over deh? It's just something we'll never know. Another thing is, dem really want ya go live there rite, but take it from me, "Come see meh and come live with meh" are 2 completely different things. "Come see meh" which means come fuh the 3 week vacation the embassy grant ya and I'll carry you all over the place, places I never been to and spend my credit card ( my life) on you. BUT "Come live with meh" means, we'll catch up sometime man, afteral you here to live so no rush to see ya. I hope you get what I'm saying and certainly you can't deny it. It's the frigging truth so accept and bless. It wouldn't be fair to leave out the ones that actually come back to Guyana when someone close passes away, or someone close passes away or did I say someone close passes away?? Yes, that's basically the number 1 reason they come back here. Unless one a we dead then they will come and Oh man, you have got to see the way they act. Every frigging body must know they come back from America. The coolie gyals, who ketch lil colour now have blonde streaks and the latest clothes. As fuh the coolie boys, them pierce dem ears, head full of spikes and its a 50/50 chance they will be wearing braces on their kock out teeth. However, Aunty will wear thick thick makeup and Uncle will bring loads of cash to spend on dem boys up the road on RUM. The funeral is suddenly a big reunion with them being the center of attention. I'm not done yet, they will treat you like ya inferior and then start talking bout things in America so hard and how they regret leaving Guyana. Now dem a plan business marriage and all kind a thing fuh settle down with ease. How dese people really think the US stupidy. Well folks, I hope that I have made some sort of sense here and reminded you that you should Never cuss the bridge that ya cross cause ya might gah fuh cross it back....
