"so many stories to tell and document"
i wake up thinking about all the interesting subjects about me to write on.
then i stumble onto another one...`
the art of war in petty local identity politics, game of thrones, treasury thieves of spoils.
[one playing chess, very shrewd samurai chess. the other bumbling. always behind the curve, and doing nothing original in moves , thinking or strategy, while managing to stay above the fray and ugliness.
neither is better. they are both the same, we have said that.
But i cant deny the game of one. real war. replete with the distribution of the spoils. and i see it that way cause that is demand. to separate the people serious about life, and move appropriately. sorry eh, i real writing in code here, along several lines, and way beyond the apparently insipid local petty politics. but some serious art of war has been displayed and I just taking notes. and recognize who i never want to be, even when it is on both sides, but to learn the art of war, game of thrones , of a kind...very rich]
i wrote a lot about that during the year of the election preparation
it is rich to mine: the personalities, the caricatures, the absolute lack of nobility, the thievery, the arrogance, the absolute silence and impotence of anyone to stop them, the opposition that are like deer in lights and all they can do is grandcharge and bray, but bringing nothing of substance in pushback. I find that amazing. when you juxtapose the grassroots, streets black reality of black males, and females, the fights, the shoots, the chops, the easy offense and reaction, yet, of the elites, a complete seeming emasculation in the males and a full muteness of females. if that is not worthy of writing and building up for a small island nation such as this I dont know what is. I wish i Had a qualified brilliant partner though...like how there are fabulous partnerships in film, it would be lovely to have a partnership for books.

the other subject I thought to write about is i guess something akin to miguel street and something alley, you know those type books that outlined and painted for us our known cultural characters and personalities that exist in every village, hamlet and neighborhood. It would be interesting to ask and peruse if those tropes and archetypes still exist for today?
but i thought to highlight the trinidad character. how it seems to me that all and sundry seems to be borne, made and carried by an internal core of nagging termite ridden lack of confidence, that even when one is supported, one looks for the reason of deceit, proof of distrust. how that lack of confidence ends in so much treachery, the blocking and marginalization of so many, the ineffect of so much attempt to anything, violence, the breaking up of almost every kind of connection and relation,
but somehow added to this is the very sane truth of everybody is mother cunt trying to fuck you up, thief your talent, destroy your gifts, and blight your good. can you imagine a small place where those two realities exist side by side?
though this is to be a book on character personality, it gets to elements totally absent in our culture, ideas and concepts such as social fabric, social capital,-- the ideas that get people working together, keeping their back, holding their tether when they attempt to fly, standing at the ladder to make sure they do not fall.
i think there are different characters now in this time: the lochos, the fuckboys, the variations of the emasculated coward male, i actually wonder if all the hypermasculinity, bravado and chest thumping are all rather proof of emptiness, meremaleness and the absence of any lofty idea of man noble.
again, i would need partnership, i would want to hear of the female descriptions and forms
I am minded to think of the treachery of people, both men and women, in different ways, whether they be relations or strangers..the idea that there is no one to trust with closed eye. that if they have not yet bared their teeth give them time, rope, road and opportunity, if not corners.
and to make it relevant, how is all of this effecting our evolution as a nation?
and that is the big value of these ideas
