We’re west Indians and also intuitively survivors. And while we take full cognizance of our successes and setbacks we don’t morbidly dwell on the latter. And Darcus Howe being the astute person that he was wouldn’t have wanted us to either.
So let’s blend our grief at his passing with our celebratory remembrances of his life and give a characteristically rousing and distinctive West Indian send off, as this emblematic mixture of Trinidadian-Antiguan-and Bajan blood among that of other Afro-Caribbeans embarks on the final stage of the journey to his eternal Celestial Home.
“An’ wuh bettah way tuh liff we spirit, gladden we sorrowful hearts and get we feet moving in dese circumstances dann we own distinctive West Indian reggae music, knowin’ dat you Darcus an’ de Angels up dere in Heaven are jamming along wid we too!”
I'm a highly intelligent, articulate and well-educated human being with an intuitive but enterprising sense of responsibility and a strong moral compass that instinctively demarcates what's right and wrong.
Trust, confidentiality and having the courage, regardless of what I do, to formulate and stand by my own personal convictions are key aspects of my life and, unsurprisingly, are also principal characteristics I attach great importance to and naturally expect from those who want to play a meaningful role in my life.
I don't suffer fools gladly, in fact not at all and most definitely haven’t got any interest in or time for egotists, time-wasters, attention seekers or the narcissistic.
Furthermore, I’m an adult and in my private and professional lives prefer to deal with genuine adults, so anyone who wants to act childishly and thinks they can have any kind of relationship with me, then you’re wrong!
And my advice to you in that regard is to go and enrol in a kindergarten as you'll possibly have better luck there.
