Breath of fresh air...beyondbee… is a whole new world

Breath of fresh air

When my people finally got ready to head back into town, they dropped me off at Silver Sands where my mother and her friends were staying. Since I had not yet slept (see Legendary night) I fell asleep in no time. About 2 1/2 hours later I was awoken to eat lunch. Since we were leaving there for 6pm I had no time for beach or pool (though really it was way too windy to enjoy either).

After dumping my bag with my mother’s friends who had come early, I headed backstage (thank god for this artiste band, it was wonderful). Most of Friday night’s show is a blur to me. I seem to recall that Richie Stephens performed but I was too busy looking about food at that point.

The highlight of my night, and pretty much anyone else who was there was Air Supply. This is the first time they ever performed in Jamaica, and according to the sister of one of the guys (who I chatted with backstage), she has been trying to get them here for ages but she didn’t think they believed her about the market here for their music.

Well, from the first note of the first song, the audience was singing. Except for maybe one song from their new album, we knew every word to every song (typical Jamaicans). I actually have a video clip of an example of this. Will get around to posting that soon enough. You could see the shock on Air supply’s faces. They didn’t expect this. Their performance was fantastic! They had energy and charisma and the crowd loved it.

I can tell you I overheard them say they would definitely come back, so somebody needs to get on that. See the rest of the pics.

Right now I am feeling kinda hungry...

Been there:
Tidbits:
- National Study Group on Chronic Disorganization
  Some useful resources on this site to help diagnose, identify and deal with chronic disorganization in yourself or those close to you. Maybe they will soon give it an official psychiatric designation.
- Uncyclopedia
  Spoof Wikipedia-style encyclopaedia where nothing is true. Fascinating, isn’t it?
- Cool Periodic Table
  This would have made studying chemistry so much easier. The animations and colours really help reveal the relationships of all the elements.
- Obsolete Skills
  While some skills have long become something for the reminiscent, like changing a fountain nib perhaps or operating an a-track player, some of the skills on this list seem like they were useful “just yesterday” - remember rabbit ears antennae?
- Visual Nutrition Info
  To aid in improving your nutritional habits, Foodsel provides visual comparisons of the content of common foods (hard to swallow when you see the whole stick of butter). It also shows how much exercise is needed to burn off items. Turns out I need to walk upstairs for 24 minutes to burn off my breakfast of Honey Bunches of Oats cereal.
- You’re studying what?
  If you have some strange desire to go learn about, let’s say, cultural anthropology or robotics, you can find a course here. These universities all provide free course material, some more in depth than others, but wonderful resources for those of us who love to learn.
- ebooks
  If you are somebody that finds it hard to walk out of a bookstore without a stack of books, your arms may be able to get some relief. If you can adjust to reading your books on screen, this site has just about any recent book you might find in a bookstore, in all sorts of subject areas. A good resource for when you must have it now.
- The Bible According To Google Earth
  If Google Earth had existed back then, this is how some of the major events in the Bible might have looked. Check out Noah’s Ark and the Parting of the Red Sea.
- Visualizing bible relationships
  For anyone who ever got confused trying to think through the complicated family relationships in the Bible, this page has some interesting visual representations. Now you know it really is as confusing as it seemed.
- Overheard Lines
  This blog lists various things actual people were overheard actually saying somewhere. It is pretty funny, weird, strange,enlightening, disturbing…
