Ok, Usain Bolt just keep eating them yam, banana and dumpling and you will still be number one in the next Olympics to come.

Fastest Man

I do not want to say it, but I told you so! that Usain Bolt was the one to bring home the gold and not Asafa Powell.
Now they are taking smack about Usain Bolt beating his chest 80m in the race, claiming that he is mocking the other racers.
Give the guy a break, his it because he is Jamaican and not…
It’s his first Olympic, the guy got excited to win gold for his country at his age (21 years old) and his first Olympic (that he waited four years for) he looked to side and saw that he was winning and got excited early.
Next you know they will be a rule against looking to the sides to know where your opponents are. Will they feel better if he just continue to beat everybody and just walk off the field?
Ok let me rub it in, Usain Bolt the fastest human and don’t forget he is Jamaican! So give me a J….

Jamaica Life

2008-08-03T14:42:00.000-07:00

Growing up poor in Jamaica

Growing up as a kid in Jamaica, life wasn’t easy, I remember going to bed after eating a bread and butter sandwich and drinking a cup of tea. Mamma could only drink a cup of tea, because there wasn’t anymore bread left over after her three children had theirs, but she was good knowing we ate.

Now that we are in foreign (or abroad) we might not be rich, yet! But mamma can eat well now.

Jamaica land we love

“Jamaica land we love”, National Anthem. Whoever wrote the national anthem I can’t tell you what they meant by that, but, I can tell you why I love Jamaica’s land...

Living abroad open my eyes to a lot of thing (enlightenment) there is nothing free abroad (USA, Canada, UK…) down to drinking water you got to buy at the store.

At least if you’re poor in Jamaica and living in the rural area, you can eat off the land, providing you do away with items that are not considered necessities.

If God can provide for the birds of the air, or we not more important than the birds? That’s why he allows the land to bear fruits for the people.
You can grow yourself or find growing in the wild; Ackee, breadfruit, banana, coconut tree just to name a few, plant yam, greens…
I know of people that still go to the river to catch fish for dinner.

I remember as a kid I would go out to the bushes to pick a certain leaf or bush to make tea. Saying all that life is not easy in Jamaica, but you can almost survive off the land as far as finding something to eat. In Jamaica there are real communities where everybody knows each other and you can go borrow a cup of sugar from your neighbor.

Jamaica land I love!!!

Watch out world, the Jamaicans are coming

Tyson gay ran a good race last weekend to make a statement to the Jamaicans, but that’s ok. For like the song say; “duppy know who to frighten, if you have a problem talk direct to me.”

I would suggest he bring it to the Olympics in Beijing, for one thing, Asafa Powell might get cold feet when it comes down to a major race, but that country boy from Trelawny ( my home Parish ) name Usain Bolt, isn’t backing down from no race, his attitude is like: “Who the f*@!% want to race”.

So I say, and I quote: “Watch out world, the Jamaicans are coming!!!”

AIDS in Jamaica

2008-06-23T12:55:00.000-07:00

They say that Jamaica has the third highest cases of HIV/AIDS behind Haiti and the Dominican Republic, and that AIDS is taking the life of Jamaicans between the ages of 15 and 49.

I remember the first time I heard about AIDS, I was a young boy, (I won’t say what age)
But I was so dawn scared and I wasn’t even having sex. I didn’t even know what it felt like to be laid. I taught that HIV/AIDS was something you could catch like the flu without even having unprotected sex.

Some people do not believe in wearing condoms, because they feel as though it takes away the feeling, even though they know of the risk. It’s just like people know that cigarette smoking will eventually kill you, but they continue to smoke anyway.

Not until people start falling out right away, then people will start waking up and start breaking some of those bad habits.

Drug money flowing to Jamaica

2008-06-19T13:08:00.000-07:00

Western Union: Jamaica Money Transfer

If you’re an honest hard working Jamaican living abroad and planning on saving money back home in JA using Western Union or any other means of money transfer, you might need to take some caution. It seems like both the Jamaican and U.S. government see your money as dirty (drug) money and you’ll have to give account as to how you came by it sooner or later.

It’s a shame that hard working Caribbean people living abroad can barely send money home without someone thinking its drug money, but foreign companies can hide money from the U.S. government in the Caribbean.

Below is an article that was written in the Sunday Gleaner by Jenni Campbell in 1998:

Dirty dollars flowing to JA

by using legitimate money transfer services - transferring small amounts which are less likely to arouse suspicion. In addition, local researchers
,
argue that the speed, safety and reliability of remitted money is a definite attraction for criminals who need to send money here.

It. is not clear exactly how much drug money is absorbed by Jamaica's financial system. . The BoJ source said the' Jamaican government, since 1988, has desisted from asking bank depositors to disclose the source of their earnings. Cambio dealers accept large amounts of foreign currency, and there is a growing number of remittance companies which ensure safe delivery of money. Both agencies have limits to the amount of cash they can accept in a single transaction. To cambios, remittance services and eventually the government coffers, the foreign exchange inflow is invaluable.

"Without agencies such as the cambio and remittance, the official banking system could not get its hands into the real foreign exchange industry," the BoJ source said.

In his debate presentation, Mr. Knight announced the establishment of money laundering analysis facility, which he is hoping will "hit criminals where it really hurts - in their bank accounts and property".

Local researchers in economics point to the growing number of. Money-transfer agencies as a clue to the increasing rate of the flow of drug money into the island. Those operating the services agree the foreign exchange inflow is significant, but hard to track.
"Thousands of dollars come into Jamaica daily through remittance services, and possibly millions, but no one really knows exactly how much," said Brian Goldson, managing director of Western Union in Jamaica.

There are 13 remittance companies locally. Western Union, which US statistics claim controls 80 per cent of the international remittance market, currently operates 29 branches locally. Western Union denies the remittance system is targeted by criminals.

"Apart from the fact that we do not ask our clients to state where they get their money, we do not believe drug dealers pass their money through remittance systems since our clients do not usually send funds in large amounts," Mr. Goldson explained.

He said that Western Union customers do not usually send more than US$200 at a time through the system. "Furthermore," he added, "there is a law in the United States which demands that all transaction over US$lO, OOO be declared to the government, and money launderers would not subject themselves to this because they cannot afford to a paper trail."
But Sunday Gleaner checks show criminals have avoided those restrictions by making multiple deals, using different agents.

The problem is not restricted to Jamaica. An official at the Washington-based American Bankers Association (ABA) said that since 1970, when stringent banking regulations were implemented in - the United States, money launderers have turned to non-bank institutions such as cheque cashing firms, money exchanges (cambios) and money transmitters to "rinse" illegally-earned cash.

Jamaica Vacation

2008-06-06T10:41:00.001-07:00

When I think about a Jamaica Vacation, I think about beautify landscape, clear water beaches with white sand, the people and music. I won’t forget the time I went to AC and saw gray sand; it’s like seeing snow for the first time. I’m from Trelawny, the parish next to St James (Montego Bay). If wanted to stay at a hotel in Jamaica I would probably choose Trelawny Beach Hotel or Sandals, even though there are many nice hotels in JA.
One of the main reasons for choosing these two hotels is because it’s right there next to the beach and the only one I been to. To the left is a Satellite view of Sandals Resort, Click on it for a larger view.

Obama Claimed Nomination

2008-06-04T05:26:00.000-07:00

Obama sealed the Democratic presidential nomination Tuesday night (June 3 2008) and became the first black person to be the Democratic nominee for the president of the United States of America. I've been saying from the beginning that America is not ready for a black or female president, I guess i might be wrong, America and the World are changing.
I believe what that white pastor said, and i also believe that the only reason why Clinton went on,is because she didn't want to go down in history as loosing to a black man, and she wanted to be the first female president and former first lady. She is not really a fighter for change like that, she just didn't like the fact that a black man was stealing her show and would stop at nothing to get what she want even if it meant hurting the party.
If i was Obama,I wouldn't put her on the ticket, why would I want someone to be my vice president who thinks that I'm not fit to be president.But then again, he might need her to beat McCain. NBC10 News .

World Record 100m - Usain Bolt World Fastest Man

2008-06-02T05:48:00.000-07:00

There's a new 100m world record set by countryman Usain Bolt (Ligtning Bolt),on Saturday (May 31) clocking 9.72. That's only 2 seconds less than Asafa Powell'srecord (9.74).Usain Bolt is 21 years old.
So, Jamaica right now has the two world fastest human Usain Bolt and Asafa Powell.Don't forget about Asafa Powell because Bolt beat his record, he can come back to reclaim the record, I just wish he stop choking-up when he run a major race. I'm proud to be Jamaican you know what they say, "we might be little, but..."

Kingston from a satellite view

2008-05-30T09:53:00.000-07:00

I was online, on Google map and decided to see if i could get a view of Kingston, These are the pictures i came up with, some of you might be able to recognize location from these satellite images. I know for sure that the last photo is the stadium. If i as a civilian can get these photos off the Internet (even though it doesn't give a view of people), imagine what the US government can see. The world is changing, very soon they will be no privacy at all, not only from the satellites, but from the traffic cams going up all over the US. I guess that's what they mean by the 'All seeing eye' on the U.S dollar bill. What is your view?

Jamaicans In Everything

2008-04-27T22:34:00.001-07:00

If you’re Jamaican, you know we like to be in everything and also like our own. Anywhere in this world you go, you’ll find us, the fastest human is Jamaican (Asafa Powell), the youngest man to fly around the world, ‘Jamaican’, we even had a bob sledge team. What the hell we knew about skating on ice, but we did it. There is nothing that we cannot do, if we end up in hell, we’ll find a way to bring a bucket of water there or maybe find a river to swim in, and if we happen to go to heaven, we will be on heaven’s lawn with two loud speakers playing reggae music, cooking ackee-n-salt fish, curry goat and white rice just to name a few, eating and dancing with the angels. The rastaman will be looking for Solomon to find out where they can find the best weed.
Remember what they say when we competed in the bob sledge thing, "Watch out World, the Jamaicans are coming!"
