From My Heart to Yours

More Positivity!
I went back to my high school yesterday and needless to say, there was no shoot out. I did not even see any of the folks I dreamed about. I spent most of my time talking with one of my favourite teachers about life after high school. In a continuation from my last post, I

Life Is A Menu
Last night I hosted another game of Kalooki.**yes that is a link go ahead and click on it. It never included the same folks as the last game I hosted back in the summer, but considering the fact that they are still Jamaicans, the 8 o clock game never started until 12—no surprise there. There

Since I Left High School
After my last post, a friend of mine called me to inform me that she too had decorated her Christmas tree in purple and gold. This being before I actually began the decorating, I decided to change it up. My tree now stands eight feet tall with green and silver decorations. I also sprayed some

‘Tis the Season
The semester is over and I am so happy to be home. It was supposed to end nicely with three A’s and a C (in statistics of course) but I realised last night that I was one question away from an A – rather an A minus – in world religions. Nothing upsets me more

Swine Flu: The Con
For all overly patriotic, nationalistic, and close-minded individuals, let me be the first to let you know that the swine flu is a con. Also, if you have not figured it out yet, if you are not amongst the top 1% of the world’s wealth, the U.S Government cares as much about you as they

Back to Andrew
I realise that I never finished posting my story; the one about Andrew having one year left to live. I figure since I only have 2 days left in this semester, I can go ahead and post out the story until I get back to Miami and actually have something to write about. What! You

Quitters Never Win
I have never been the one to quit. I always dive head first into anything I believe in, (after all I am a swimmer) and commit myself to finishing the entire race. If it took me years and years, I’d swim those 1000-meters. As of late, I’ve been losing that ambition. November was good to

My Money, Ha ha !
This past weekend I went to Gainesville with my prima esposa, my cousin, and two other friends. We went mainly because my brother and his roommate Jaime were throwing a party, but also because it was “Classic Weekend” here in Orlando and we do not really support that. Anything to get out of Orlando, though.

Solving The Race Issue
It seems to me that some people have an issue with Jamaicans, and probably most other stereotypically Afro-Caribbeans, who do not regard themselves as black and are hesitant if not upset that they are most times required to fill out the “Black/African American” slot on Government forms and questionnaires. On behalf of Jamaicans, I will

Like We’re Dying.
On a more somber note, I went down memory lane yet again, and was haunted by a few past experiences. I have more than once told myself that I have plenty of issues and baggage, but it is nothing I am dwelling on; and as my friend told me, we are not going to call
