The relationship I will discuss in this post, however, is one that is not yet bounded by a legal or spiritual contract. Photo by Ono Kosuki on Pexels.com A very... Continue Reading →
So I'm straight. So straight I could break. If I went blind and I was forced to walk in a line, it would be perfectly straight. If I stand next to a ruler, the ruler would appear bent. A boomerang doesn't come back to me. I follow Jesus on the straight and narrow way. I... Continue Reading →

It is no secret that money is an issue for most of us Jamaicans. As such, we try crafty means of acquiring the precious dollar. Unfortunately there are those who use manipulation to get what they want. These may be scammers are beggars. Over the years I've made a decision to stop giving beggars on... Continue Reading →
Over the years I have learnt a very important lesson about money. It is never enough! When I started my masters' degree in 2012, I was earning a stipend of $35,000. I had no other sources of income and my rent was $25,000 per month + bills. At the time I was renting one of... Continue Reading →

Robots. No, I speak not of the technologically advanced machinery designed for leisure or pleasure. I speak not of the complex combination of metals controlled by a computer software. I speak of the men who risk their freedom, their lives, their everything to take the stranded home. Okay, so again I make have exaggerated just... Continue Reading →
If you travel within Kingston and St Catherine using public transportation, you are likely to encounter casually dressed men aggressively trying to place you on a taxi. More often than not these are self-employed businessmen selling their services whether you like it or not. Before you begin to question the necessity of their services, there... Continue Reading →
I am the self-proclaimed road-trip king. In my prime every Sunday would be a new adventure, cutting a fresh slice of Jamaica. I've since visited every parish, most major beaches, restaurants and landmarks across the island. Most of these trips are as spontaneous as they get. Absolutely no planning was usually involved.
