Natel - In the Mood [Reggae]

his voice is so so sexy...omg i can listen to this song over and over...

dummy wife....

i guess u have metro pcs...
i never understood the concept of calling your husband's mistress....
once u discover her existence u can do one of two things..

1. STAY WITH HIM OR 2. GO!!!!!!!!

simple as that...
but if u stay understand the consequences the same for the latter...

staying means u have accepted it...you have forgiven his indiscretion...u want to bring her into your relationship full time...your self esteem went missing....

if u go...ur just fucking SMART AND U R SO IN LOVE WITH URSELF AND U KNOW UR WORTH!!!!!!

bap!!!! gi mi ma money!

the art of love making....

once you have mastered the art of love making i guarantee you will become a hot commodity. when your partner can feel the emotions thru your kiss, when he can say yes she truly loves me based on how passionate the kiss is, u know you've got him. i always said that something as simple as touching ones finger tips can arouse you... maybe i should have said it can arouse me...fine i will talk about me....

you see i am big on soft, gentle physical contact...i have found at least 5 (kissing places) beside the usual places that will get him all rattled.

1. the hip bone
2. the back of is neck
3. the corner of his mouth
4. right bellow his navel
5. his fore head
6. the back of his knee

i like a man that takes time to caress every nook and cranny or my body...what is the rush...nothing sets the tone like some Motown slow jams....or a collection from 1992 bump and grind...lol!!!! eye contact is soooooo sexy...his mouth staying open and facial expression that reminds u of a dare suck in headlights is also amazing...when his vein pops up on his forehead...screams power...

Remove Bitterness From Your Life!

he is right...bitterness is a deadly thing..it will drive u to do horrible things to yourself and others. you have to let go and let god...negativity is like stagnant dirty water...it smells..mosquitoes are born and we all know how annoying those can be...negativity has a ripple infect on your life that will push true friends and love ones away...if u say ur letting it go then truly let it go...

A Mans Emotions Part 2

"what you thinking about baby?" "NOTHING!!!" so true...

notes:

1. women speak to your man..don't talk in parables..just get straight to the point

2. don't use another woman's experience with her man to judge your man. (two different people..two different experience)

3. men get frighten when he cant understand you...don't go in circles

4. men sometimes we just want yall to listen "baby i don't need you to fix anything, i just need you to listen"

5. IMPORTANT... he said that a man can function sexually, pay bills, go out...take u to dinner etc that doesnt mean he is happy cause he will still wake up the next day and leave you!!!!"

6. men: "commit suicide at a higher rate cause they're thinking; to lose one more thing is unacceptable"

7. men: "to mess up is to shut" its as simple as that....

8. people "let go and lets grow"

A Man's Emotions!

this is so true... he said " we (men) need your (female) help to communicate"

he is spitting some knowledge here... real talk so women are trifling...like he said the devil wins cause he getting a two for one deal....

"the pressure of being a man" this is a new age disease...men you better look out...

A Man's Ego, A Woman's Emotions

this is so true....

his touch!

imagine this....

there u are laying in bed and ur man comes home...he takes a shower and suddenly the room smells fresh as hell...he walks over to the bed and lays beside u...he still hasn't greeted you...he's just laying there looking at you...yup!!!! he is just looking deep into ur eyes and u can just see the love he has for u, u can feel it...he suddenly pulls u close to him put his arm around ur neck and he takes ur hand...he starts touching ur fingers...that's all.... he just start touch you fingers...he finally greats u ..."nice to see u my queen...I've been waiting to do this all day...just look into ur eyes and touch ur fingers. baby i love u"


awwwwhhhhhh!!!!!!!

I Octane - Why u searching trouble BRANDNEW

this is so true...its like when trouble know ur happy..the fucker just come knocking man!!! dam!!

beauty is defined by one's personality!!!!

i believe this to be true...we look at people and judge them based on their appearance which sometimes turn us away....little do we know, that was the best person for a relationship...we allow first impression to deter us at times...i urge people to take a chance on love...u might be so surprise...the one u wait and hunger for doesn't even want u as mush as u want them...so take a chance with someone else....

as for me...i deal with this type of thing on something called "spirit tek" i don't go for the cutest guy in the room not because i am not confident but because that spells trouble...i usually like a man based on his personality..real talk...looks fade...i need longevity, intelligence, smarts, out spoke, funny, a man who is willing to learn new things, a man who is willing to teach new things...a man with a back bone and not be filled with too much pride...a man who's only aggression is towards his future goals and accomplishments, not towards me..

feelings

sometimes i feel down and sometimes i feel happy. its the circle of life..my life...sometimes i feel lost or trap and i have to get on YouTube or wikepedia to find answer to they way i am feeling...sometimes i can't even diagnose my own feeling...sometimes i just need that someone to tell me what my problem is...well today is one of those days. today i doubt myself on so many levels...today is my ugly and fat day...today i need to be alone...

Mongrel:” roff! roff! A weh dem people yah deh? Dem nuh see say mi hungry…roff! Roff!

browny:” M.O.B! mongrel a dat mi say…so weh u hide him”

mongrel:” browny just cool nuh dawg!!! lata..."

my f*cking opinion

so with the situation in Jamaica i had to take a real look at it from all angles. first of all i must say SHUT THE F*UCK UP! to those Jamaican who are spreading propaganda and putting unnecessary fears into the Jamaicans abroad.... why tell stupid stories about what is going on?

such as: 1. dudus is in Haiti...2. he is in Cuba doing a surgery on his face....

come on people u have to do better than that....then u have those complain of how brutal the JDF and JCF are...but before they were complaining that they are not doing anything to get rid of the wicked people...

scenario 1...

listen to me... there is a thing called generation curse and what daddy do, son more than likely have fi come do it to...so far the say 50 ppl dead and we know some of those people might be innocent. a harsh reality when the good suffa fi di bad.....some of those ppl may have been force to pick up a gun because of their lack of knowledge or fear..maybe they don't have the funds to runaway....maybe if they decided to leave the community they know they could never return and maybe their family might pay the cost...maybe they were told that they have to defend their turf...do or die...im just trying this thing called "benefit of doubt" besides with the number of dead bodies being collected there should have been more than 4 guns collected.

scenario 2...

for a long time the wicked have preyed upon ppl...for along time JCF wanted a door to open so they could unleash...for along time many wanted this to happen "kill dem out!" the gov has now untied their hands and given the JCF and JDF the power to clean up...so after they get done with tivoli they might go to Spanish town...no one wants to die...not even the biggest bad man...so after seeing the amount of bodies laid out in a matter of days, im not surprise that Jamaican most wanted would turn themselves in...so all who the popo wanted from years ago better look out cause they said "we know who u r and we r coming for u" that sounds scary....another sad thing is that most of the men killed are all under 30....hmmmmm!!!!!

at the end of the day a life is alife and u either waiste it or use it wisely...do unto others as uwould have them do unto u...
i love u jamaica

Police Brutality In Jamaica Island Of Music And Murder pt 1

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXMPL0zflGM

this is a harsh and scary reality...make sure to check youtube for the remaining parts 2 and 3...this is disturbing but u need to know these things...

Violence and venom force gay Jamaicans to hide

are people born this way?...is it a result of abuse?..i mean there are so many reasons why you shouldn't judge...if they are not bothering you or coming on to you then leave them alone..its their life...its wrong for a man to have multiple women yet i don't see any mob beating him to death.

what the hell is going on here?!?!!?!?

FOUR persons — three men and a woman — were killed by gunmen on Jones Avenue, Spanish Town, St Catherine early this morning.
Police on the scene said the incident took place at about 5:30.
The cops say the throats of the four were cut.
The dead have been identified as David 'Tete' Williams and his common-law wife Sandra Wint, Clayton Simpson, 29, and another man known only as 'Garnett'.
"At about 5:30 this morning, a group of seven gunmen carried out the attack on members of the group in a section of the community called Back Lands," one resident said.
No motive has yet been given for the attack.
dear father, i pray for these families, these people...father i pray that my people will get it together and stop the violence. father touch their hearts and souls...father protect the ones who call on you, hear their cry !!

my opinion on this issue about Alleged Shower Posse members face deportation from Canada

http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/news/Alleged-Shower-Posse-members-face-deportation-from-Canada_758

Alleged Shower Posse members face deportation from Canada
CMC
Thursday, May 06, 2010

my views on this issue are in red!

TORONTO, Canada (CMC) -- Law enforcement authorities are seeking to deport 12 Jamaican nationals suspected of being members of a gang involved in drugs, murder and other illegal activities in Canada. so my question is...how can you deport suspects...i guess the USA law innocent until proven guilty doesn't apply in Canada...lol!!! what if 2 out of the twelve are innocent, will they be allowed back into the country? are they guilty by mere association? message....

The Jamaicans, whom Canadian authorities said are linked to the notorious Shower Posse gang that was formed in the 1980s, were arrested during a major operation across several Canadian cities on Monday.
The raids netted 78 people, guns, drugs, diamonds, casino cheques and substantial sums of money. wow....

Media reports said that more than 1,000 police officers took part in the operations in a bid to crack the crime network that allegedly extends from Canada to the Caribbean.
The Globe and Mail newspaper said the arrests followed a nine-month investigation, titled 'Project Corral', that was triggered by a spate of shootings involving feuding gangsters in north-west Toronto.what a name "project corral lol!

"Several weeks ago, three people -- including one with a "cop killer" handgun -- were arrested in the Dominican Republic preparing to ship more than 70 kilogrammes of cocaine to Toronto," the paper reported, quoting police sources.
It said that the Toronto members of the Shower Posse brokered the sale of drugs shipped through the Caribbean to feuding Toronto street gangs and that two recent murders were linked to the network.

"The Toronto Police Service has never been able to get at the local members of the Shower Posse as they have in the past 24 hours, even though the gang has been understood to have been operating in the city for years," Inspector Mike Earl told the newspaper.
Two months ago, former Shower Posse boss Vivian Blake died at the University Hospital of the West Indies in Jamaica after suffering a heart attack. may he RIP....by the way yall should read Dwayne Blake's book.."shower posse" very interesting...i love it...
Blake returned to Jamaica last year after spending eight years in a US prison.
He was reported to have been the mastermind behind the ruthless Shower Posse, which had established drug bases in more than 20 US cities, Canada and the United Kingdom and was reportedly responsible for more than 1,400 murders. dang!

why not hang them?

can someone tell me why Jamaica nuh bring back hanging? come on now...this killing is getting out of hand. no regard for human life...who are you? what are you? is it that your new habit is to collect people soul? not fair that when tried and found guilty you get to sit there in room and the possibility exist that you might get out...this is just messed up..i say hang them..they didn't give a dam when they took a life...so hang them...hang them and put their bodies on public display. deal with them just has barbaric as the crimes they are committing..a matter of fact, they say do onto other's has you would have done onto you..with that being said i figure they should execute you the same when u executed your victim.

im sick of reading the news every morning to see one man killed here, one over there, two, four, six, there every flipping where...

like some one said" jamaica has an odor and we are so use to it that we dont even smell it anymore" come on people...STOP THE VIOLENCE!

Usain Bolt...the Icon or the DJ

Usain Bolt, was born 21st of August 1986 in Sherwood Content, a small town in Trelawny, Jamaica. He is Jamaican sprinter and a three-time Olympic gold medalist. He holds the world record for the 100 and 200 metres, along with his teammates, the 4x100 metres relay. He also holds the Olympic record for all three of these races. At the 2008 Summer Olympics, Bolt became the first man to win three sprinting events at a single Olympics since Carl Lewis in 1984, and the first man to set world records in all three at a single Olympics. In 2009 he became the first man to hold the 100 and 200 m world and Olympic titles at the same time. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usain_Bolt)

The on-going Gaza (Vybz Kartel) vs. Gully (Mavado) saga is never far off the radar of most young people here in Jamaica, and in many past interviews where he has been asked the question, Usain Bolt has not been afraid to state his preference for Vybz Kartel (i.e. the Gaza). In a recent television interview, he reiterated that he’s a passionate Vybz Kartel/Portmore Empire/Gaza fan, but highlighted that as long as both artistes “kept the war lyrical”, he had no problem.
Last night was Bolt’s welcome home party at his favorite place to party – the Quad Night Club in New Kingston – but he reportedly made statements on the microphone to the packed club that can only lead you to question the sensibility of his actions. According to eyewitness reports, the party was in full swing and an extended segment of Mavado songs was being played when Bolt appeared in the DJ’s booth and announced on the microphone that this is the end of the ‘Gully tunes’ and that “a gaza mi seh, and anybody nuh like dat jump inna gully.“
(Dancehall.Mobi http://www.dancehall.mobi/2009/09/22/usain-bolt-playing-with-fire-in-gaza-vs-gully-war/ Published: September 22, 2009 around 12am )


Ok…so some of my friends and I were having this discussion about Mr. Bolt…we all know with out a doubt that Mr Bolt has brought Jamaica’s status to another level. He has created history that my pickney,pickney, pickney will read about…all positive I must add… I also know that with fame comes new and strenuous responsibility along with sacrifices...

Ok Mr bolt u love your music and as Jamaicans dancing and music is in our blood…but there comes a time when u have to separate the two…u cannot be the youngest ever recipient of one of Jamaica’s highest national honors – the Order of Jamaica – and a man who was recently named Jamaica’s Ambassador-at-Large with full diplomatic status; among other accolades. Be mixed up with this whole Gaza and gully saga…no! No! No!

Let me break it down…your statement “that as long as both artistes “kept the war lyrical”, you had no problem.” Is stupid…very stupid…is this based on the saying sticks and stones? How many times people lose their lives based on what he or she said…huh?

Keep your backside out of this mess…

Jamaica is already the murder capital…remember a high profile case involving the murdered of Pakistan cricket coach Bob Woolmer in his hotel room…which was not a good look .

so please continue training, continue uplifting these kids with positive and motivational speeches…many might say u are entitled to do whatever u want. But as far as I am concern u represent Jamaica as a whole…make us prouder of you…its not a good look…ok and if the statement from the eye witness from quad is true then I have to say shame on you…I'm proud of you and love the caring, humble side that I was told u have…please don’t get bipolar on me now…ok….vybez kartel is an excellent DJ and he doesn’t need your promotion to assist his status….

my thoughts on this "Reprisal killings rise" article in the Jamaica Gleaner

Reprisal killings rise
(Jamaica gleaner (http://www.jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20010114/lead/lead3.html)

"my comments are in red"

Klao Bell, Staff Reporter
POLICE blotters are showing that the majority of the 885 murders committed in the country last year were either reprisal killings or they were linked to gangs and drugs. Ok I will give u that much

There were 126 drug/gang related murders and 280 reprisal killings, 47 per cent of the total murders for last year, the Constabulary Communications Network (CCN) reported. This, according to police records, is a move away from politically motivated murders that dotted police blotters especially in election years. so that is a total 406...so what about the other 479? should i assume that the police killed them or witch craft?

However, none of the murders last year was linked to politics. Bullshit! Police statistics show that since 1997, the last election, there have been three politically motivated murders. Another pack of bullshit! And according to the CCN only one of the 1,038 murders of that year was political. Another pack of bullshit! I find this hard to believe especially after watching Ross Kemp documentary on Jamaican gangs…. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqyIQmFC2M0)

The shift away from political tribalism, community observers claim, can be attributed to the diminishing role of the politician and the increasing role of the drug dons and families overseas in contributing to the economic welfare of inner-city residents.
"It's mainly a gang thing. The spoils, you see, are not coming from politicians any more but from friends and family abroad," said Kevin Lyons, a representative for the Community Conflict Resolution Committee in Waterhouse, St. Andrew. why do I get the feeling that you’re blaming the families overseas for the genocide in Jamaica…if the families don’t support, you will say its their fault because they are leaving their families helpless so they have no choice but to create havoc….yet when they do support, you still find fault…makes no sense….some one will have to explain this to me… "The youth are not politically motivated because politicians have failed them."
Professor Trevor Munroe, a political scientist at the University of the West Indies (UWI), explained that the "tradition of gangs, previously connected to political parties, have remained and have probably got stronger because of drugs."

Reprisal killings are the result of revenge or defence of turf among rival gangs. The rise of reprisal and gang-related killings have created internal conflict within some communities, including those with established political strongholds. Detective Superintendent Steve McGregor, operations officer for the Area 4 police division, calls this "in-fighting".

"There is no warfare along political lines," said Deputy Superintendent Steve McGregor. "Instead there is feuding with in-fighting within PNP (People's National Party) areas or JLP (Jamaica Labour Party) areas. Right now we are working to resolve conflict between Black Street, Bray Street and Bryden Street, all in 'Dunkirk'."

"Dunkirk" (officially named McIntyre Lands), is a traditional PNP stronghold in east Kingston. To residents of the community "in-fighting" is worse than fighting sparked by outside sources because it disrupts the order within the community and threatens the safety of residents. So what happen to setting up curfews?…employ more police and soldiers if u have to…sometimes I feel like the government is not taking this epidemic seriously…they know the problem why not fix it…u would kill two birds with one stone when u hire police and soldiers…1. More peace. 2 more employment…

"It's harder to deal with what is happening now, every street has a gang of some kind fighting against each other for power," said Herman Johnson, chairman of the Guardian Angels, a conflict resolution group in Whitfield Town, Kingston.

However, numerous peace initiatives and conflict resolution groups have been formed between and within communities. Traditional political enemies have been forging alliances, evident in communities such as Arnett Gardens (PNP) and Tivoli Gardens (JLP).

"The political climate in west Kingston has been calm and cool since 1993," said Desmond McKenzie, councillor for the Tivoli Gardens division. "The relationship between Arnett Gardens and ourselves is great...The leaders and the people are working to maintain that peace."

Similar peace agreements contributed to the absence of political tumult in 1997, and community leaders believe that this will hold up, even with indication of another election soon.

"We don't expect that the crimes will escalate, but we are now working on a plan to ensure that this peace is maintained during election," said Kenneth Wilson, president for the August Town Sports and Community Development Foundation. Good luck sir
