TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE?... YOU BE THE JUDGE!
LIME HAS A PROMOTION WHERE YOU CAN PURCHASE A FLIPTOP PC (LAPTOP) FOR $17,623 WHEN TAX IS INCLUDED. THIS PROMOTION IS AIMED TO HELP THE LOW INCOME HOUSEHOLDS WITH STUDENTS TO BE A PART OF THE PC OWNING POPULACE IN JAMAICA.
WHAT LIME FAILED TO MENTION IS THAT MICROSOFT OFFICE SUITE IS NOT INCLUDED ON THE MACHINE. EVEN A TECH SAVVY INDIVIDUAL WILL EXPECT THAT THIS PROGRAM IS INCLUDED BEING THAT IT COMES WITH THE WINDOWS 7 OPERATING SYSTEM. NOW ALL STUDENTS UTILIZE MICROSOFT WORD TO WRITE THEIR ESSAYS, ETC. THEY ALSO USE MICROSOFT POWERPOINT TO DESIGN PRESENTATIONS. WHY ISN'T IT INCLUDED LIME?
NOW WE ALL KNOW THAT THE AVERAGE JAMAICAN DOES NOT READ THE FINE PRINTS. WHEN THE INTERESTED PUBLIC ARRIVE INTO THE STORES AND ASK TO PURCHASE A FLIPTOP THE REPLY THAT THEY GET IS THAT THEY NEED TO APPLY FOR AND INSTALL INTERNET SERVICE IN THEIR HOUSEHOLD.
JAH KNOW, LIME GI DI PEOPLE A SIX FI A NINE.

ALWAYS THE SUFFERER
How many Jamaican multi-millionaires you can name that are not politicians nor individuals that are always mentioned in the business news, involved in entertainment and heirs/heiresses? (List them in the comments section)
Now to get where I am coming from. Can a taxi driver who is dedicated to his profession be a millionaire? Damn straight he could be! But can he really be a millionaire if every time a passenger of his pays with Jamaican one dollar coins he aggressively and disrespectfully refuses to take them? To the point of blatantly telling the passenger to pick out the one dollar coins and give him what remained.
I immediately thought about the "Chiney" (Chinese) businessman and how he is regarded by the average Jamaican citizen. If you never know, it is common for them to say that the Chiney man will always have money because you can't owe him. My favourite is when the Chiney man supposedly says "pay me the $5 and owe me $500 because the $5 is the profit".
Seriously people, you have to accept, save and spend any type of currency
no matter the value and you too can be a millionaire.

THE TABLES HAVE TURNED
Good day folks! It's been a while since I have posted, I know, that does not mean the passion has faded. I have so many things stored up right now that I might just end up babbling about everything and get you confused... so one thing at a time.
JOBS OR LACK THEREOF
LMAO at how many people are unintentionally unemployed.
POLITICS
Just never did get how the political climate is in Jamaica. I've heard so many members of John public disrespecting those who represent and govern our wonderful island nation and yet when they show up for town meetings or what nots they jump and rave and fight to shake their hands. REALLY JOHN PUBLIC?! REALLY?!
CRIME
Won't touch on that subject, not even with a ten foot pole.
SOCIAL NETWORKS
Gone out of hand dammit! Needs to be regulated because some users seriously share too much information. Should I delete or respect their freedom of speech? Hmmmm.
TEENS GONE WILD
Is what these teenagers really running down? The oh so many complications that come with sexual relationships so isn't worth it when you're not even old enough to vote. "Calm yuh soup!" as the Kittitians would say.
Til next time, take care of yourself and each other :-)

POSTER CHILD WORRIES
Wondering what they'll say when they see that you have changed. Maybe they won't love you the same. Could be more love or it could be less.
Evolution of the mind and body is inevitable and there are times when people expect you to remain the same. Hmm, could that be boring? - Being stagnant and stuff...
