Trinihomewreckers.com, I’m not sure about you but I have not been able to turn away my bleeding eyes!

The stories on this website are like a train wreck in progress and although you’re aware of the end result, (destruction, mayhem and big time make-out) one just cannot get enough… or at least I can’t! LOL! The website owner proudly…

Bandwagonist- Unite-2

Let’s face it. Being a wagonist is way more fun and fulfilling than being a die-hard supporter. Who wants a team that loses anyway? Just to say in the next 7 years that you were supporting them even when they were losing? Bleh. Totally not worth it. And we not just talking about sports, we taking any and everything! so watch out!! The bandwagonists win. Every time.

Blackface-Feature

I’m sure we can all agree… America has some seriously strange trends recently, but I swear, none of them could really compare to this new one: The “blackface” ….uh. I’m sorry what? Yeah, you saw right… The “blackface” – Caucasian Americans painting their faces black as a costume. I’m sorry, but why is this a “cool thing to do”? OK, we get it… People are always looking at trying something new for Halloween, you want to be convincing and you want to go all out…

local government

So we are in another silly season of elections and this time we are being asked to vote for local representatives. Many people have no idea who these people are, what they do, and what local government really is- apart for the fact they represent a particular political party. The term ‘local government’ in Trinidad and Tobago is literally an oxymoron (no that’s not a moron with pimple cream on his face)- it means a contradiction in terms. Or a phrase referring to something that…

Diego Martin

In this part of Trinidad, the main river has burst its banks twice in the last year, spewing muddy waters and debris into nearby homes and incurring damage costs in the hundreds of thousands… Bumper-to-bumper morning and afternoon traffic turn five mile drives into long and loathsome commutes… Burglary, theft, kidnappings and even murder are not uncommon here as well. If someone told me ten years ago to guess what part of the country these words were describing, I would never have guessed Diego Martin….

If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that Miley cannot twerk. Still… can we ‘llow d girl lil bit? Unless you’ve been living in a pineapple under the sea, you KNOW that our most popular Disney starlet-gone-bad Miley Cyrus, is on a downward spiral to jah knows where. At first it was cute – twerking in a onesie… then came the “We can’t stop” video and her notorious VMAs performance, followed by the latest travesty that is “Wrecking Ball” video. I can’t…
