Lottery Dreams

Good day to the Lions Den Massive.

I have never been one for beer. I prefer hard liquor, and the creativeness thereof.

Many people have a job in an ideal word that is vastly different from the job that they currently have. On the rare occasion some people have the opportunity to follow this ideal.

Unfortunately, at the moment, I am not in any position to do this.

However, one can dream, for a man with no dreams is merely a ship praying for good winds to bare him to port. This is however a post for another day.

Have you ever wondered what you would make of your life if you had to win the lottery?

If I had to win a significant lottery Id be both responsible and brash.

Depending of the amount of the lottery I won, I would do the responsible thing. Buy a house, cash of course, a car, cash of course, take out the normal investments like a high interest fixed deposit or dabble in the stock markets where mining shares would be the order of the day.

I’d then move to the coast and open a beach bar. I’d call it Trench Town Rock.

Reggae Music would be the order of the day during the sunlight hours while generous servings of house music and dance music will be the order of the day during the twilight hours.

Attire: Casual, shorts, t-shirts, sandals and even bathing costumes would be encouraged.

Speedos however would be banned and anyone caught wearing one would be taken to the open ground outside the front entrance and have their nipples removed with a wire coathanger.

Ladies would be able to attend in Bikini’s, in fact it too would be encouraged. However, only bikini tops would be allowed, those wearing bikini’s would have to have some form of garment covering their bottom’s. This would only be a requirement to protect the integrity of the establishment and to try and limit the rumours that it is a house of ill repute.

Of course, there would be hubbly, hubbly, hubbly and then more hubbly on offer.

Creative cocktails will be on offer. Along with the classical mojitos, sex on the beach, long island ice teas, pina colada and daiquiris.

I have always been a strong advocate for creativity in drinks. Below are some of my own creations which would grace Trench Town Rock.
