Been busy lately.

It's been approximately 1 week since I've blogged. My reasons: I was preparing for what I though to be were torture exams. I did my lecture final exam on Wednesday, (and it wasn't difficult at all.)I know for a fact that I passed. I'm expecting nothing below a 80. And for the lab. Now that was easy. She even showed us the grade. Guess what I got.......................... A 90. Yep. I could have gotten higher, but I just wanted to get out of there. It was the last day, and I wanted to get the hell out that classroom and campus.
For Anatomy& Physiology 2. I'm expectinbg nothing lower than a B. Personally I think I deserve a B+. And if the teachers give me a B, I will be having a very important conversation with them.
I'm now done with school, and have 3 weeks break, before I go back for the fall semester.

A Blog about a blog.

I'm blogging about a blog which blogs about my country. (Did you understand that?)Anyways, this person blogs about places mostly in the west though. Parishes such as Montego Bay (Mo'bay), Ocho Rios(Ochi) etc. It's filled with pictures and stories.
This makes me miss my country even more, but yet it's preparing me for my trip back home soon with Leonson. I miss the simplest things I took advantage of when I was living there.
My goal for my trip, was to get two things, A professional camera and a laptop.
But I can't wait that long to save two grand ($2,000.) So I'm just going to get the camera and a whole bunch of USB, because I WILL be taking pictures non-stop.
I'm going to go and eat breakfast now. Wait it's after 2, going on 3. I mean brunch.
This reminds me of the time when I was hungry and I went in my back yard and picked ackee, and steamed a pot of rice,(oh, I miss those days.) I'll trade that for a meal at McDonald's, Burger King, Applebees, Olive Garden and every other restaurant out there.

I already told Gaylia that when I'm in Jamaica, my diet will consist of everything Jamaican. So that means, Every single Jamaican soda there is, (even though I'm not a big fan of soda). And pastry, (drops, peanut cake-even though I'm allergic, Gizzarda etc.) And fish, Jerk chicken, Jerk fish, damn it, everything jerk, except Pork. And fruits, sweetsop, soursop, guinepp, mango, apple, and the list gos on.
I'm off to eating brunch now.

New artist: Jah Vinci.

I personally think that I've been disowing my my country's music (reggae), I switched to so many different genres, except country. I stopped listenning to majority of new reggae music, because of artists like Movado, Vybz Kartel etc. There music is about shooting and having sex with women. I don't want to listen to that. But yet Hip Hop is about violence, having sex with 'every girl in the world', jewelry etc. So why do I even listen. Today's music is lower than ever, both hip hop and reggae. Whatever happen to music like Bob Marley, Make peace not war. Anywho, my brother downloaded 'his' music on my computer and mine got deleted. So as I'm typing his blog, I'm listenning to this artist name Jah Vinci.

I love it!!
........Well most of his songs. For ex: Guide me, Prayer, Wipe those tears.
I need to hear more from this guy. More I tell you, MORE!!

I'm unable to upload his music at the moment. But I can always count on youtube. So click here to hear his music.

R.I.P. Lady Bustamante. 1912-2009.


A historical figure in my country passed away yesterday at the age of 97. Her name, Lady Bustamante. She was the widow of Sir Alexander Bustamante ,(who is one of our 7 national heroes, and was the first prime minister, after Jamaica got indepence from England). She was highly involved in the formation of the JLP- Jamaica Labour Party (one, of 2 political parties in Jamaica.)

Haha.


I'm all about women empowerment, but I honestly dislike this lady. (Palin). Her last day in office is Sunday. Thank God. Hehe

I absolutely love this picture.


Smoking causes a number of diseases, which eventually damage your lungs, your heart etc.
People STOP SMOKING!!
I exercised with my dad today. We walked all the way to Manhatten and back. But while we were there, we saw people exercising. Then I saw a grown man, finish exercising, and took out a cigar. *I'm speechless* He was just puffing away.
Anywho, we continued walking and saw a woman eating fried chicken, fries, and drinking a soda. OMG!! My dad and I, along with other people that were exercising were just looking at her. They were probably thinking that this lady is fat and greedy, and she should put the drumsticks down, and come exercise. I on the other hand was thinking about how she and I could share the food.
What can I say, I love food.

Racism in America.


Earlier this week, a black man by the name of Henry Louis Gates was arrested for trespassing on his OWN property. He came home, and was unable to get in his house. A few neighbor's saw a black man trying to enter the house, and called the cops. When the cops showed up, he showed them his i.d., but yet couple minutes later they arrested him. For what? Hmm, anywho, President Obama gave his opinion on the entire situation, and said the police officer acted bad on his part, and should apologize to Mr. Gates. In response, the officer that arrested Gates, said he's not apologizing, and that President Obama should apologize to him. LMAO. Is he serious?

I don't want to call the cop a racists, because for me, I don't just throw that word around. But, that was a racists move, I have to agree. I bet you any amount of money that if Mr.Gates was a white man, they wouldn't even arrest him, and the neighbors wouldn't even call the cops.

Coming to this country, I was introduced to racism. Thank you America.
