As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls.

TANTIE TALK:
What we go say about 2001? Dat it was a year of international disasters, much local politricks and rampant criminal activity? Not much to recommend it, when we reflect on de year's passing.
Tantie thought de year woulda start off on a brand new note, but de politicians did continue playing de same tired old tune without
missing a beat. Is true de conductor didn' change, but some of de players and
dem did change where dey was sitting, and a whole setta dem get replace altogether. It was enough to make yuh want to cry, but dem doh
deserve no tears at all because yuh know when dem done make dey commess and gone is T&T dat still suffering. We supposed to be crying long tears for we-self, because is we de people of T&T dat still believing de
campaign promises, and voting for dem come election day.
As for de senseless crimes dat did take place, Tantie feel dat a good bull-pistle in order fuh some of dem wuthless nowhereians dat doing
de ting. Doh get mih wrong, Tantie all fuh rehabilitation, but some of dem doh seem as if dey was ever human. De amount ah drive-by shooting
and innocents getting killed, not to mention de pensioners who getting brutally murdered for de pittance dat dey have is ah real reflection
of de downward direction dat de country heading - is what really wrong wid we people?
An' leh we not even talk bout de events of September 11 dat send de whole world into a tailspin. De effects still being felt on plenty levels
- emotional, spiritual and economic... is how many merchants eh get dey goods dis year because of the delays in shipping etc. ever since September 11 did happen?
If ever there was an appropriate time for de Messiah, Tantie feel dat dis is it. People feeling real despair and fear dese days and even in we
own little T&T, it have old AND young people now who frighten and ent feeling safe - even in dey own house. We need some sign, some symbol of
hope dat the year(s) to come will bring some relief and some measure of happiness to people all over. And is who go lead de way? For sure,
it ent go be no Prime Minister or President dat go save we. Allyuh eh realise dat is WE who have to steer dis ship. WE have to direct de course. WE have to care fuh we fellow man. WE have to make the
coming year count for something, not only for us, but also we chirren who didn't arks to be born into all dis confusion. So Tantie want all de
members of de Trinidiary family to ask demselves what it is YOU going to do in
2002 to make it a positive year in history.
Anyways chirrens, Tantie want to wish all of allyuh de best for 2002 and de years to come, because yuh know dat is all of we dat go keep T&T sweet...it would be even sweeter eef I didn' have to go tranquilise
mih dog fuh de noisy %#$@ fireworks dat done start even though de New Year still more than 5 hours away!
God Bless.
