All Hail Queen Elaine Thompson-Herah and King Asafa Powel


“The Government issued new protocols on how the ordinary simpleminded public should behave when they are in the presence of Track Royalty Elaine Thompson-Herah and Asafa Powel. The Public is advised that when in the presence of these Royalties, to get on their knees and bow with their faces firmly in the dirt.The public is also advised not to make eye contact with the Special Ones and only get off the ground when they are at least 50 meters away. Anyone found engaging with the Specials Ones will be publicly whipped! The national laboratories are also testing the Special Ones excrements to see if it can make Patty. All Hail Queen Harah and King Asafa!” 

Their Podcast was an attack on the Jamaican people. Personality is everything, I have the utmost respect for people who achieved in life, be all they can be and remain humble, nice people. Up until now I had no problem with Elaine Thompson-Herah and Asafa Powel, until I watch this podcast then I realize their personality suck because they are arrogant attention seeking whores. I do not care how fast they can run and how much gold they got along the way. 

They came off as having a God Complex, demanding to be worshipped. Culturally we are not a people who chase after famous and being a part of that culture they should know that. That does not mean we do not respect you and your achievements it just means we are not overburdened by a hero worshipping complex. Another point is that they are public facing people, they live their lives in the public's domain and when you do that, no matter who you are and where you live, you open yourself up to public opinions, some positive and some negative. If you cannot properly deal with that then maybe living in the public's domain is not for you.

The British Cornish Pasty vs. The Jamaican Beef Patty

Image
I love my Jamaican Beef Patty and I do love the English Cornish Pasty. I am not sure which one came first or if they are even related but the concepts are the same. Take a delicious baked crust and fill it with tasty meaty goodness. In the case of a Cornish Pasty that tasty goodness is chunks of Genuine beef cooked with potatoes and swedes (turnips) and for an Authentic Jamaican Beef Patty,  the finest Genuine Jamaican beef. Maybe the English Cornish Pasty is related more to the Jamaican Meat Loaf than the Jamaican Beef Patty. What does a Cornish Pasty and a Jamaican Beef Patty Have in common? The British Government decided to impose a 20% VAT (Value Added Tax) on hot Cornish pasties. This resulted in a nation wide protest lead by the people of Cornwall against the proposed tax. Even people living in Calumet, Michigan, USA gathered a petition of 500 signatures to show their support. In the end the government was forced to reverse its plans to impose VAT on Cornish pasti

Holness Fortress!

By Torsdag ©  ©  inmyownwords A friend recently sent me pictures of Andrew Holness’ house being built in Beverly Hills. Looking at the pictures brought several things to mind; some good, some indifferent, some bad. What it did remind me of, from an architectural standpoint, is an article I read that addresses the trickle-down theory of architecture written by Professor Witold Rybcyzynski. My thoughts prompted me to muse upon this said trickle-down theory of architecture as it pertains to the Jamaican house and what passes nowadays for Jamaican architecture. The fascination with the architecture of wealth and privilege still reigns supreme in our psyche. Though this is nothing new or specific to Jamaica, the way in which we classify and embody this notion, is. It is developed mainly through voyeurism: what we see on TV, the internet, social media, word of mouth and of course, what we – see. The big house on the hill was always, at least in my brief lifetime, something to as

Heroes and Nation Builders of Jamaica

"He bared his chest and declared…If you are going to shoot, shoot me, but leave these defenceless, hungry people alone." ….Alexander Bustamante I once saw a play in the 80's at the little theater where the above was said by one of the actors and another actor shouted in response…..”A should a now!!” …to the laughter of the audience… His implication was that today's police would have obliged Alexander Bustamante and open fire killing him and everyone dead. I however think that if it was now there would be no one to play the role of Bustamante because that is not how our current so called leaders roll, we would simply be on our own. Market Woman early 1900 For me, the best part of Jamaican history is the period from 1900 to 1962. I call this period the Golden Age of the Nation Building. The fight against hard life and suffering experienced at the hands of British Colonialism. A time when the working class, Educated Class, middle and upper middle class came to
