Nice day so far…
Yeah, yeah. I been liming here in front o de DELL since about 8:30 this morning. See, I took a day of departmental leave in order to prepare this talk I giving on Saturday about skin bleaching. Thing is, I had done the talk previously, but the audience was different…high schoolers. So, I looked at the Powerpoint presentation from las nite and made some changes. Basically…I more or less done it from last nite. 
So, I been scouring the net for some articles, in case any likkle wise ass asks me some question after the talk to try frig me up. I tell you, nuff tings out there. This bleaching thing is a scourge of black people and is a matter of public health now. I am now ready to take on a study to determine the prevalence of it in Jamaica, as we have no studies with figures locally. Get mi name into the literature!
Apart from that, weather is grey and overcast today, no rain yet but I am sure that will come in the afternoon. I get the feeling that after I have me some lunch I going hol a lay down and snooze….is not often I get to be home on a weekday to rahtid…so tek as we say in Ja. ‘disadvantage’ of a siutuation….why not?
I head out to private practice about 4 PM and then head to a drug (pharmaceutical…in case you were wondering wha kinda ‘drug’ me a was a chat bout) launch tonight at about 7ish. The invi. never said dinner…..but I going reach nevertheless. Work again on de morrows. ‘Till next post…..walk, ride and drive good…you hear?

August 25th, 2005 at 6:53 pm “So, I been scouring the net for some articles, in case any likkle wise ass asks me some question after the talk to try frig me up.” Doc: You kill me with that statement. A bit of well-placed paranoia is very healthy indeed.
August 25th, 2005 at 10:00 pm Good luck with the presentation. I’m sure the word needs to be spread on the subject of bleaching.

August 26th, 2005 at 7:13 am Hi Dr. D. Good luck with the talk. Will you use Michael Jackson as a good or bad example of skin bleaching? Hope you’re feeling better.
August 26th, 2005 at 8:00 am Cause dem a bleach, bleach out dem skin, seh dem a bleach to tun inna browning! Remember that song? Anyway, I have the solution…. We need to dictate that the light skinned people can only procreate with the dark skinned people. The resulting progeny will therefore be brownings, and there will be little desire to bleach. After all, Me love mi cyar, Me love mi bike, Me love mi money and ting, But most of all, Me love mi Browning!
August 26th, 2005 at 8:20 am Actually Sunny, I do have a pic of MJ at the end of the presentation….as a clear statement of what can happen asa result of using these agents. Mad Bull, we won’t have none o dat ’selective breeding’ at all….Know the songs of course.
