I think at some point it would be nice to have a partner and maybe a kid and I've looked at that and I think that would be good but you know if that person comes along I'll give it a shot. I don't know really how to do it. I mean it's kind of hard to just like look for that you know. It's funny because that's what I feel like people who want to get married and want to have kids are doing. I don't want to just get married for the sake of getting married. If I get married I want to meet the right person. I don't want to just like do it to do it. You're overthinking it. Am I? You just got it. Apparently you just got to do it to do it. You have these people have to be a means to your ends.  That's a real it really bothers me. There's an arrogance to it. There's an arrogance to it. There's like we know better. One of them actually wrote me a message that said we want to set you up with someone we want to do our part and I was like do your part. That sounds like a canned food drive or something. It's a go fund me. It's depressing as hell. It's also like you squares wouldn't know. That's how I feel. Then I also don't want to see who they think I should be with. Could I feel like that's going to hit myself? It's an insult. It's all an insult. I don't need to. I can catch my own food. Exactly. That's what it is. And also like there's something condescending about it. There is. Also you don't know what I like and since how could you tell me what I should be like who should I be with? It bothers me. It's a P for sure. And they also go with like stereotypes of what they think you'll like. You know what you need and it's like no. My mom said she's like I have a friend that wants to say I'm like I'm going to get set up with my mom's friends. I mean yeah impossible. Impossible. I mean the thought's nice but I'm not doing it. Yeah. That's I forget you're Jewish and then that comes up. Of course. Yeah. Some of the stereotypes are true. That's they're not. You have some Jewish qualities. Yeah. They're the yeah. Yes. Yes. I am. People think I'm Jewish. You wouldn't strike me as Irish. I know. I'm like I'm Irish. This is what happens when an Irish. Other than the self loathing. Of course. Yeah. When an Irish person reads too many issues at the New Yorker. This is what happens.  Okay. Well this begs the course that I ask myself all the time. Do you feel like you need to be in a relationship? Not need is would life be better? Do you really believe that life would be better? It's just always what you don't have right. So it's like when you're single you look at a relationship as the answer when you're in a relationship that's not working you look at being single as the answer. So would my life be better? It depends on the person.  Would my life be better then? No. Of course not. It's the endurance to stand up and other things I want to do and when you're in those relationships you have no time for friends and other support systems. So no you need. How do you deal with the judgment of being relatively unsuccessful in relationships?  But there is a certain type of judgment for a guy when you get to a certain age. It's almost like a male biological clock where they're like what are you doing? Yeah. And I talked to Bobby about this. Bobby Lee. So David Spades in his mid 50s not married and like is that a cautionary tale or a best case scenario? You know what I mean? Stuff. I mean and I don't know. He looks like he's having fun. That's what I mean.  The more your friends get married they're a little bit more unavailable. They start families. For sure. Once they have kids it's over. It's tough. The people you ask for relationship advice are worse and worse.   You don't want to be getting your relationship advice from the same friend who shows up at your casino gigs just at the table. You know? Mm-hmm. So that's a problem at a certain point where you're like this dude is not who I want to be. But I don't think he's a cautionary tale. I think he seems to be. Yeah. Again that's not him. I just mean like the proverbial him. A person who's not married in their fifties and his kids of like he's scratched that that box. Right. He does have a kid. Check. So and I'm sorry I keep mentioning him. It's like the third time he's come up but I'm of the mind that I'm like I just don't sometimes I think my life would be improved but I'm trying to make my life as good as I can. Yeah. With the assumption that I'm not going to get married. You feel like that's missing? No I don't. I'm in a tough position in that I don't want to feel like it's missing and I don't want to feel like it's not missing. There's like pitfalls in both directions. If I'm like yeah I got it all like a lot of remotes and like yeah I got this thing clicking and it's like I don't need a wife I've got a peacock. Hey did you like that? Did you like that? Yeah. Did you like it though? You want more? Don't want to work? Would rather watch videos of me grab assing with people.  This is like when the weatherman says there's a high pressure system coming in. I'm a little, I'm not really used to the green screen.


So the first night of Hanukkah 5782 comes at a weird time particularly for tourism here in Israel because Israel has just banned entry to the country from basically all foreigners. So that's going to have an interesting impact on this year's Hanukkah tourism season.


Secretary-General of the Caribbean Community Cardicom, her Excellency Carla Barnett, continued her three-day official visit to St. Lucia Tuesday with a visit to the Ministry of Youth Development and Sports. The Secretary-General and her delegation were received by Youth Development and Sports Minister, the Honourable Kenson Kazimer, and other heads, including Permanent Secretary Caroline Eugene, Director of Youth Mary Wilfred, and Director of Sports, James Xavier. The meeting here at the Ministry of Youth and Sports has been very good. Youth are our leaders coming up, and so it's really been important for us to reach out and meet with young people. The discussions here at the Ministry have been very positive about the needs of young people, the youth policy that's being completed, that's going to be presented very soon and hopefully become official policy, and all of that conversation has been very important collaboration on sporting young people in sports and sporting events across the region, very important conversations that we've been having. So we're looking forward to continuing that conversation and making sure that things happen. Minister Kazimer described the visitors timely and relevant as a number of pertinent issues relating to the development of youth and sports in St. Lucia, workplace in the spotlight. The situations, the challenges that we face are not unique. Of course we spoke briefly on climate change and we know that climate change greatly affects the small islands and of course the need for alternative energy in terms of our lighting systems to ensure that we can enact programs beyond the hours of six and seven o'clock in the evenings, and so it was very important for us to have discussions on how we as a region move forward. Also in terms of youth development, how we deal, tackle unemployment and some of the social ills within our communities. Of course another, these are things that are not unique to just St. Lucia but the region. So having the Secretary-General of Carycom visitors today for us to pretty much exchange notes and ideas on how we move forward I think was very, very critical and of course moving forward we continue to dialogue in terms of how do we actually execute to the benefit of youth in St. Lucia and of course sports enthusiasts. While in St. Lucia the Excellency Carla Barnett also met with Prime Minister Philip J. Peer who is lead head of government for sustainable development in Carycom and updated the Cabinet of Ministers on current issues being addressed by the Carycom community. From the Ministry of Youth Development and Sports, I'm Ryan O'Brien.
