Tower Of Babel

…and no complaints on my part. It has been overcast and rainy since yesterday and no different today..think it has suppem to do with Katrina. Never even realized that it arrived in Fort Lauderdale yesterday taking two lives. I going give mi cousin Beloved a call this evening.

Now, in recent times, nuff of the news I find does nutten to lift a man spirit….in fact, news is often depressing. However, it is refreshing to learn that suppem good seems to be going on educationally here. Apparently the CXC passes in Maths and English this year are better than last. Good to hear. Big up the teachers and the students. I remember my days inna high school…English was easy fe me…but Maths….’till dis day me nuh know how me did pass!

On the same trend of thought, I saw my boss at the drug launch last night and she was beaming as her daughter (who had thought she did badly in her exams) managed to pull down EIGHT distinctions (Ones) in her CXCs! I also chatted to Jamdown Canadian last night and his son who took English and Maths in Fourth Form, also hauled down Ones. Big up and nuff respec to the two of them.

Tonight being Friday and post payday, I really should be heading outta street, but sake of this talk in the morning tomorrow, I will probly just hold a spirited beverage here at the yard, or at one of mi bredrin’s place. See, I am supposed to start chat at 9:20 tomorrow…..so if anything tomorrow nite will be the real Friday. It nuh matter…..R & R always welcome, any day, anytime.

One of mi peeps who is usually a cool dude, but can sometimes be a deep thinker, (no Mad Bull not you….which part o you can think deeply!? ) asked me a question referring to the bleaching talk that I’m doing. He wanted to know why we do not target the palers who are doing the reverse? Going to the beach to bronze demselves or tanning salons etc. My reply was that we do. Dermatologists have long preached about the harmful effects of UV light and the suns rays on pale skin in particular. But, just as many of the bleachers naw listen to we, nuff light skinned going on dem merry way a bun up demself and predispose themselves to cutaneous malignancies. Get some of these folks to use sunscreen nuh? And BTW, this does not apply only to Caucasians….there are many shades of ‘black’ skin, and sunscreen should be used by plenty of our own people. Being pretty pale myslef, you not catching me at beach without…I burn pretty damn quick. Anyway, enough of me and my preaching. I don’t really like when my discussions here tek on too much of a medical slant….this is not a medical website at all.

You all have a good weekend you hear. And remember, if you can’t be good…just be careful! (Interpret dat any way you rass want!)
