Men 200m World Record
Usain Bolt set new world record in the Men 200 meterBeijing Olympic, 19.30 sec
Usain Bolt 200 meter Record
Usain Bolt 200 meter race
Usain Bolt did it again; Win the 200m in 19.30 breaking M. Johnson world record. A lot of people were sure he could do it, but this time he ran all the way to the line.
I wonder what going through Asafa Powell’s mine, and did Shawn Crawford really think he had a chance against bolt? Whatever happen to S. Crawford buddy Gustin Gatlin (dope scandal) you know they say bird of a feather flock together.
Ok, Usain Bolt just keep eating them yam, banana and dumpling and you will still be number one in the next Olympics to come.

Usain Bolt
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
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!!!
