Drama Queen

2012-05-22T09:21:00.001-04:00

Though I've never thought of myself in this light and though I don't fit the conventional mould, I cant escape it. I'm a drama queen. Drama queen I've never been the real girlie type of girl nor have I been a tom boy either, but recently (past few year) I've been tossed on a sea of emotions that this morning brought me to this revelation. I'm a drama queen. The more I question this

Let's make enemies in 2010! Yes you heard me! I’m committed to make enemies of those who are quick to get rid of Air Jamaica rather than doing the hard work to make it work. I’m making enemies those who are too lazy to research and strategize effective taxes and resort to taxing anything and then run to the IMF. I’m making enemies with institutionalized

Lion or Lamb?

2007-11-09T16:54:00.000-05:00

I went to watch the movie Lions for Lambs with a friend (Bj who promised he would write a post about it on his blog- it should be more prolific than my entry here) on Thursday night. I saw the preview and figured it would be a good movie. i was not disappointed. It was one of those movies that caused you to stop, pause for a moment and think. It brings you to a point of introspection, well that's

A Day in the life of an Election Day Worker...Couldn't

2007-10-21T19:54:00.000-04:00

I've got to be honest with you. I've got most of the rest of this story written in a note pad however i just cant find the time to write it! In light of that i was under the false impression that i shouldn't blog anything else until i got the election day worker saga finished. Well thank God i no longer feel 'shackled' in that way and i've resolved to just go on blogging and if that story should

So here i was with a decision to make (see The Week That Almost Wasn't Part 1). Well as i said before i kinda had no choice in the matter.

I've got to tell you God is something else and I will never figure Him out, and in all fairness I'm not suppose to. July 24-28, 2007 will go down in the Y2K7 history of the life of Derri-Ann Palmer as "The Week That Almost Wasn't". Here's how it went down.Monday morning was the day that the bus coming from Gregory Park would stop at Linstead and pick us up for our journey to Nutshell, Duncans

The Key to Life

2007-07-02T16:20:00.001-04:00

The Key to Life What I’m about to recall is a rather embarrassing episode but one that someone may learn from so I’ll tell it. Last Sunday afternoon I returned from Ochi and after having a quick nap I went out to the closing night of crusade at my church. Before leaving the house I used my keys to lock up, then caught a ride with a friend. Well Monday morning I

Colour Blind

2007-06-22T13:00:00.000-04:00

Now they say that dogs are colour blind, and that males don’t know any colour apart from the primary colours. What they do say, is that females see all sorts of different colours like avocado green, rose apple red and sunshine yellow. What I do know is that I’m a female who is not colour blind and the colour of my blog is Purple not Pink! Let me explain it to you. I’m not into the girly pink

Conceited Me

2007-06-20T15:24:00.000-04:00

I'd like to think that I'm artistic :-D Here is a poem I wrote that I think is the best poem I've ever written. It depicts an aspect of my life I'm still working on. As I seek to overcome in this respect, I remember Luke 9:23, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me." (NIV)Conceited Me Lord You see the real Me,The Me inside.The Me that
