Wow that was odd. I just wrote an extremely long comment on http://socialmediagroup.com/2009/02/09/this-titles-just-six-words-long but after I clicked submit my comment didn't show up. Grrrr... well I'm not writing all that over again. Regardless, just wanted to say great blog!

Trinidad Carnival: Faye-Ann, J’ourvert, Radica, McFarlane.
Ok so this is a really tough assignment that forces you to really search for the right meaning. Most of you will not know what my 6 words mean so let me give it some context. Trinidad Carnival takes place every year and culminates in 2 days of a street festival before Ash Wednesday. The six words I chose made the cut for the following reasons..first 2 obvious…Faye-Ann is an incredible performer whose name would have been Madonna or Aretha in another genre. She owned this year’s Carnival. J’ourvert, French for the opening (I think) which is the start of the street Festival, where people come out of their bed from 4 in the morning and are intoxicated by rum and or music. J’ourvert is the great leveller where corporate suits and couriers drink from the same pot. (and sometimes it is pot) Radica is a girl most of us met for the first time about 2 weeks before the street parade. She came into our life because she left someone else’s life and he was telling us about her in his song. The chap, a Mr. Salick, will never write a better song. The public will not let him. “Oy yo yo yo, Radica why you leave and go” did more for race relations in Trinidad than anything I can think of with its Indoness seeping into our Trinidadianess. McFarlane is visual artist who is famous on the island for his design and decor and his Mas. This year he brought Africa to Trinidad at the same time that Salick brought India. Six words. if I could add one more it would be: Heaven.
