Me and Germ at Side Splitters in Tampa. Photo: Germ’s Lady
I’ve been quiet for the last 10 or so days because I have been hiding in the sunshine. Can’t tell you how good it feels sometimes being in Florida in winter and in the early days of spring. I feel as though I’ve gotten pale and while I’ve moved away from Tampa without a single trip to the beach, I still have some time to lay out and soak it all in here in Orlando. It won’t be at the beach, but poolside at my hotel will certainly suffice.
So, how was my time at home? Mmm – Productive. Germ and I had to work at a Verizon Com event in Ybor City which didn’t go as well as everyone expected, but that was beyond our control. We were in Ybor for three days working and I managed to expand my wireless knowledge while I was there so that’s a plus especially when you’re out crusading for a wireless network. Right? Aside from work there was a little play too. I saw my family and friends. Tarik did some stand-up at Side Splitters in Tampa – not too far from my home. It was my first time seeing a comedy show there and his performance was very, very good. I giggled, laughed and almost choked. My co-worker Germ and his friend came along to hang with my friends. My friend Paula from Alabama was also in town for training and swung by with some of her co-workers to LOL in the place! Hehe. My dear pal Muna was there and Chi Chi and EJ and a whole bunch of other folks so I managed to see them all in one go.
Other things that got done – the dreaded visit to the tax dude. Where’s my stimulus dough, man? 
My mom and I discovered a once-upon-a-time disco group by the name of Boney M. while we were getting our pedicures and manicures. The Vietnamese folks schooled us to how popular the group was in the 70′s in Vietnam for their infectious music and of course – the dancing. The dvd they played must have had some crazy effect on us, because we couldn’t get Boney M. out of our heads. Which leads me to fill you in on this juicy bit: The Magic of Boney M. dvd has been ordered and is on its way! I also went onto Wikipedia to get extra schooled on the group only to find the same guy behind Boney M. was also behind Milli Vinilli. Don’t turn away. Really! Read further. How could America have missed such an act like Boney M.?
Okay, so here is a little Boney M. video for you. Isn’t it fun to end Monday with a little Disco?!?
Alright! That’s enough! Hope your day is sunny daddy cool and I’ll be seeing you down the rivers of Babylon!
Pon dat!

BRING BACK DISCO. Now I see where Michael and Usher got their moves. This was definitely a refreshing blast to the past and better than that, it was hilarious. Elvis had his white suit and Boney M had his, although he came out of the jacket. I may have missed him in the 70′s at the disco, but will enjoy the funky beat as I exercise once the dvd gets here. GROOVY!
