It’s been awhile since i’ve ranted, lately it’s been a little too hot to even have an opinion about anything. I’ve been a little numb, but there’s been a little ache in my stomach from hunger lately and i’ve realized all of a sudden that FUCK, WE’RE IN A RECESSION HERE.Alright so we’re all aware that we’re knee-deep in the middle of a worldwide economic catastrophe.

There's this book I read a few years ago written by a fellow named M.T Anderson called "Feed" that made a lasting impression on me then because [in the tradition of George Orwell's "1984"] I found it's fictional content eerily similar to our reality.

It may or may not by now be evident that I have a fascination with the occult and mythology in general [no, i've never had a seance but that is only because i've never found anyone willing to summon spirits with me].

"The Dance of Death" is believed to have it's origin in art; as a genre, a concept wherein death and it's victims are painted in an abysmal waltz toward the grave. The artists are careful to ensure that the victims painted are from all walks of life:"The dances of death were mostly painted (or more rarely carved) on the outside walls of cloisters, of family vaults, or inside some churches.

The word generally conjures up images of political, economic and cultural autonomy, but in the Jamaican context and in my own mind it is all a lie. Despite the fact that it has now been 46 years since we have "gained independence" I am yet to see where this is actually so. I have spoken before on the fact that we are a nation almost entirely dependent on external sources for things as basic as

So this morning, I paused for about 10 minutes looking at Las May's latest depiction of the crime situation in Jamaica (printed in today's Gleaner). The imagery was really striking and though (since I work for the newspaper and sometimes hear the shots that take the lives of people in the surrounding communities), I came to the realization that not only have I (and I believe many others) become

So more and more, each day, I am realizing that we are more like animals than we want to admit.

One questions the humanity of the individual whose first thought upon arrival to this island was of how easy it would be to enslave the natives and steal their gold, one questions his subsequent praise as our “discoverer”.

In the wake of the recent protests in support of the latest high profile criminal Carlos Hill, I am forced to ask the question "what the fuck is going on here?".For those who are unfamiliar, let me just run quickly through the context of the scenario. About 5 years ago, a man named Carlos Hill founded an investment company by the name of Cash Plus Limited, with the platform that it was here to

So, according to "The Jamaica Gleaner", Tyra Banks being named "Woman of the year" by Ok! magazine is newsworthy information.For anyone remotely curious enough to care; "The TV presenter was given the accolade by America's OK! magazine for her business sense, as well as her position as a role model for women worldwide".

The Jamaican relationship as I view it is psychological warfare, it is a conquest for both the male and female element, though it is generally percieved as the conquest of the male, the strength of the female "game" is always underestimated to the point that the male does not even realize she is playing.The principal arena for the selection of the mate is The Dancehall; bodies are girated to

Believing ever in the possibility of there being something better separates us automatically from the world of the realist and places us in the limbo of the idealist...Subsequently we are challenged until the end of existence to not only think of an alternative that will aid in the betterment of us all, but also of a means of achieving said alternative, a means of mobilizing the until now silent
