Electric

I laid in bed...the stillness of the night all around me. I thought it was too quiet, the neighbours generator must be out of gas. You see, hurricane Matthew just passed devastating my country and since then, this has been the norm.

I tossed and turned for a while.  Luckily the cold front provided some comfort.  As the sweet breeze kissed my skin, I draped my body with a thin floral sheet - just enough protection to keep away the mosquitoes, knowing that before long one leg would be thrust from beneath the covers.

Little did I know, that soon I'd have the most erotic dream of my life.

I pitched up...the night so dark I couldn't see my hands before me.  I walked with arms outstretched, finally my palm reached a hard surface.  OH YEA, I thought as I glided my soft hands up the rippled surface and finally there it was, sticking out before me.  By this time the air was still and the heat had risen immensely.  I continued my exploration. I slid my hand....pushed it up and BAM...

THERE WAS LIGHT!

"My word!" I shouted, "Tings awreddy betta" I continued as I danced with the warm light hitting cheeks. I ran through the house clicking on all the light switches, all the fans, all the TVs.  My dog gazed at me with wonder.  He could not understand my excitement. On day 13, I finally had electricity.

That dream was serious. I woke up drenched in sweat, what a wet dream.

Go for the Championship Ring

Constantly our parents drill into us how education, manners and hard work pay off.  So, you pursue education, you never forget your manners and consistently work hard...only to be passed over, walked on and patronized by "good job" statements issued by the "bosses" that have been granted kisses due to favour.  It doesn't always go that way but it's not a rare anecdote.  I do believe though that all those things my parents taught me are of value and grooms a well rounded individual.

In fact, I do not want to be anyone's favourite. My goal has been to show up for the game, play as hard as I can, shoot and pass when necessary.  It's not always easy but you have to continue to remember yourself, that's what organizations do - they remember profits.  People scoffed at LeBron James' decision to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers. WAIT - NO THROWING STONES, let me finish.  They called him a traitor and burned his jersey.  What they gained, I'll never know.  James however gained two championships with the Miami Heat.

In my opinion everyone has to make the decisions that are most beneficial to the growth and development of themselves and their family.  In the Bahamas, we tend to be creatures of habit and we love our country and proximity to our family because of the ease it grants us in many areas of life. You know baby sitting cheaper with grammy.  There's nothing wrong with that!  But if you've reached your peak in your career, it's okay to move on.

Why settle?
Loyalty? Of course, but on certain levels without being disloyal to yourself

For the most part companies feel everyone is replaceable. If they feel they can get more money into their pockets, they don't give two flying fairies about you - though they do a good job of making you believe that they do, but you can tell if it's a facade.

Your loyalty is to you and making your situation sound enough for you to remain sane in this sometimes bitter world.  Never be afraid to switch teams, shoot - start your own team, because like LeBron James, you may end up with championship rings.
