Jamaica’s 49th Year Of Independence : “We Haven’t Entirely Failed.”
This weekend marks the 49th year of Jamaica’s independence; the country having received it’s political freedom from the United Kingdom in 1962. As usual, the outpouring of national pride is immense and perhaps will be sustained throughout the weekend. Still, I’m not convinced that there is a lot to take pride in; and yes, maybe I’m cynical, and I most certainly will be accused of lacking national pride, (nothing could be further from the truth by the way), I’m just looking at where our country is after 49 years of charting our own path, and I’m disheartened. As one political party put it in the 2007 general elections, we… “not changing no course!”
Phone Sex : “So, What You Wearing?”
Boredom is a rass ting enuh! It has many side effects : sleeping, eating, tweeting and lately I’m thinking phone sex is steadily becoming one of those side effects. By now, we must have all had that conversation. You know the one brought to you by Digicel free nights? The one where you sit on the phone for upwards of 2 hours discussing every possible thing and then slowly but surely the convo drifts into awkward silence, perhaps punctuated by the TV you have on and then out of no where; one of the parties asks “So, what you wearing?”
