AS TOLD TO BC PIRES

My name is Ryan Fargo and of course I watched the movie!

I think Fargo was the only Coen Bros film I’ve seen, and I watched it when I was in my late teens.

I haven’t seen No Country for Old Men or The Ballad of Buster Scruggs yet.

I actually like Westerns because of the lyrics behind them. When the gunmen and them come to shoot, the little lyrics they put down.

I was born in Nichols Nursing Home in Cascade, grew up in St James and lived there until I got married in May 2017. Saturday was our sixth anniversary.

My wife Sheila and I moved to Valsayn, where we currently live now. After 30-something years of my life in St James, Valsayn was a big change. Until then, past the Lighthouse was South. To face that traffic to reach to work on a morning…

We have a three-year-old son, Joshua.

I’m the youngest of three sons, Sheldon, Roger and myself.

My dad died from prostate cancer. I lived the treatment through my dad. It’s in the family on both sides. Although my mother died from a massive heart attack, but a lot of her siblings, three of my aunts, died from cancer.

I was baptised at Assumption Church and my wife and I still leave Valsayn to go to the Saturday evening Assumption mass. I am still a Catholic. My wife, too.

She’s from Cascade, so both of us are from Port of Spain.

God gave us a brain. We have to use it sometimes.

I do believe in an afterlife and in heaven, hell and purgatory. We are human beings and sinners and I don’t personally judge anyone. It’s not for me to say someone else will suffer eternal damnation.

All my siblings and I went to Newtown Boys’ RC.

It was close, because my father was the manager of Astor Cinema, Woodbrook. I got to see a lot of movies.

I passed the Common Entrance exam for St Mary’s College, my first choice.

After CIC, I went to Daniell’s Private School, where I obtained all my passes, distinctions. I was kind of top at economics at Oxford. Mr Daniell told my father it was a very top A from Oxford’s perspective. The top 100 internationally, or something to that effect.

Then I did management of business, economics, principles of accounts and general paper at A-Levels at UWI Sixth Form.

I started to work at T&TEC right after A-Levels and it’s 23 years now I’ve been there. I’ve worked my way up the corporate ladder, everything in administrative section.

It was there I met my wife. We still both work there, separate departments. We go to work together when I’m working the 7 am shift.

Our son goes to a daycare in Curepe.

I’m not a movie hound now. I used to love to watch movies before, but as I got married, my focus changed.

Anytime a new Marvel or DC movie came out, within the first week, I would have seen it. Now, it’s like I’m so busy doing things around the house, activities with my son, promotion at work…It has to be a really good movie for me to go to the c
