BUSY RULING AT LIFE.
i posted this before, but in paying respect to Michael Jackson passing yesterday I will repost & say when I saw this debut during the Grammy’s in ‘88 it blew my fucking mind.
Thriller was my first album i owned, but Off the Wall was my favourite album ever made.
also farrah fawcett passed too.
all in one day. rest in peace.
these are all pics from my blackberry. no i’m not without any other cameras, just was armed w. my trusty phone & twitpic so if you’re following me on twitter, this is a big repeat. kinda like when i tell the same story to you & half way in you look at me with that “jen you’re repeating yourself” face.
at any rate…
guess i looked kinda dodgy when i boarded, ‘cos when i unpacked my 68lb (!!) bag i found this little gem.
first meal on the island, jerk chicken sandwich. and at my new job.
found this at the drugstore. this has to be dead stock, there’s no way they still make zinka. i used to rock pink zinka nose coat & stussy 8ball t’s in the 80’s.
that’s the view outside from my current digs. nbd.
this would be my “sidewalk” to the road to walk to work.
kind of like the hills, but island style. the roads are trife, the “safari bus” (aka island cabs) is even more trife. i’ll have to snap a flick of one of those bad boys soon so you can see how gangster public transportation is here.
my 2nd day on the island i got hijacked by my co-workers and hopped the ferry to St.John. kinda like the staten island ferry but no lady liberty or guidos. well actually nothing like shaolin but i’ve never known any other ferry so work with me here people.
the guy here on the left would be jeffrey and he gave me this sick tattoo:
notice this was when the shorts-line had started to set in, but pre-mosquito massacre to my legs.
3 hours of happy hour drinking later… the only thing i can afford on this island is miller lights & camel lights. oddly enough parliaments are only in softpack & that’s just a no-go situaish for me.
this here would be my co-worker josh, he likes to crack jokes about me being old & refer to me as his boss. i like to tell people he’s my retarded cousin. he’s into blondes & pissing people off.
day 3, woke up @ 8am & finally found the beach. secret harbour beach. i fell in love with it. i like secrets, i like beaches. it’s my favourite beach so far.
first time in the water. so warm, so clear, so perfect.
this is why i moved here.
i got those shades for $14.99 @ JC Penney’s in PA. score.
cleared to handle your food folks. i always make the dumbest faces in ID pics.
there’s a banana tree outside my door. nbd.
see! bananas!
i’m surviving on the one duffy’s meal a day plan here, alternating only with $5 foot longs after 5pm from Subway. this above would be the bbq chicken burrito, it’s no chipotle salad bowl but that little monster filled me up nicely for the day.
there’s a bunch of stray cats outside my office, i call this one Chuck Bass because he likes to come up & meow at me & then runaway. that & ‘cos he’s dead sexy.
another duffy’s daily meal…this would be the jerk chicken nachos. bangin’.
this would be my coffee place. lattes in paradise. no big deal.
my first sunrise on St.Thomas.
see that little window on the bottom far left between the trees? yep. that’s the studio apartment i’ve landed for myself thru november. it’s located 30 ft from that favourite beach i was telling you about above.. Secret Harbour Beach:
so this one’s obvs not taken from my blackberry, but you have to see this water. un-fucking-believable.
so to celebrate my newly acquired digs, i woke up fellow co-worker pictured above by screaming “HEY WE’VE GOT 20 MINUTES TO MAKE THE FERRY TO WOODY’S HAPPY HOUR!” and we ran (almost literally) to the bar for breakfast before we hopped the ferry… jaeger has come back into my life apparently. good ol’ blackout juice.
that’s the ferry boat in case you were wondering.
homey josh & i decided to step it up a bit since we’re celebrating my new home, or since that was my excuse anyway & we went to the local spot in st. john that had tap beers.
so somewhere between those micro brews and this shot, we played a beer trivia game, i knocked over a beer, and by the time we got to woodys we both ordered a round of miller lites & tequila shots. great minds think a like.
yeah so um we made new friends on the way back to st. thomas.
i can only imagine the dialogue between these guys & myself at this point.
the view’s nice, no?
i miss ny pizza.
these flowers are at the end of the drive to my new home. i move in july 9th. wish me luck. xo
first day i arrived still drunk from iggys i think. (those pictures will come later)
second day: i went to st. john w. my co-worker so i got a sweet wife beater tan line to start:
i also drank for 7 hours in the sun.
day 3- i found the beach.
i also walked 2 miles in the wrong direction later this day which is still keeping those wife beater lines in tact.
day4 back to the beach
gotta go to work will update you later. if you want to see more pics you should be following me here.
