Jamaica is my heart.. đ
I think that I have got an honest picture about Jamaica and it´s inhabitants. Because I have lived there for 8 months.(2007, 2008, 2010 and 2011). Then I wss living with a jamaican in Sweden 3 years and one in NYC 3 weeks :P... Lol Lol Lol I stopped going there when the state inprisoned Vybz Kartel. Because he was the artist that I really loved back then :P
So it was a decade ago, and I´ve got the advice to move on and start something new, but the reason why I started a blog in the first place, was because I wanted to share Jamaica with the world. Because I SWEAR, it is a whole different approach to life over desso (over there). They have saved my life, so many times. That I really craved to help them in any way I can. That brilliant idea I got when I was sitting in Spanishtown (the capital in Jamaica, prior to Kingston), smoking weed amongst ghetto youths đ. Young and crazy, but neva stupid :P.
Now, there are so many missconceptions about that island, For starters, people say that it is dangerouse there and that is simply NOT true. The poverty enforces alot of crime and suffering, amongst the inhabitants yes. But you are safe like a safe, when you visit :P. Sure I also thought about the possibility of getting caught in a crossfire or something. But that never happened to me. I mean why would they just randomly shoot a person? They are not evil in anyway and I have never ever felt as safe as when I´m in Jamaica đđ„°đ. They will not hurt you, some might use you, so my best advice to your approach. Turn a badman yourself :P.. haha I walked up and down with my jewelry and nobody never bothered me...
See I get happy when I remeniss, because there are so many deare memories I have đđđ. I could talk forever about the place, but that goes against my purpose. Because I´m a happy geniouse, that have concluded that my trips there and the knowledge I aquired must have it´s purposes. See my English got way better when I spoke with the people also, because I´m swedish. That learnt my english by listening to Hiphop basically. Jamaica is an english speaking country. All thoe their own language of origin is Patois đ€đŒ. Which is a much better version of English, based on the African languages and Creole. I´ve also heard some Swedish words n they choose that way of speaking, so that the slavedrivers would not understand bla bla...
That I love about Patois, that they cut everything short. They don't have to talk for a long time to say what is on their mind. And they are genuine and MY people đ€©đ. I swear I will cry of hapiness, when I reach back!
When you are in the country, you will leave all the problems of the world behind. Because you will realize the values of life, in a whole different way. I mean, when you see the so called poverty and realize the fact that they are so much happier than others. You will start to appriciate life again and realize why. But they themselves die very often đ„
See I´ve been suicidal here in Sweden. Then I went to Jamaica, big up Stephen. (He told me to fawud (go there) instead of jumping in the river .P... Haha. What a life I´ve been living...
I´ve seen how they go about things in the ghettoes and I've been uptown same way. Still I must say that the garrisons have my heart! They are so appriciative and the way they go about their lives, is so very interesting đ.What ever.. They have thought me how to appriciate every day of my life and what I have, because the houses in for instance Cassava Piece. Would be very interesting to live in, but it´s way more comfortable ova yasso... Uzimi
See they are very sweet and what have me appriciate them first and formost, is their honesty. They don't really care about courtesy phrases or learned behaviours. Some might say they are rude, but I say that they are true. Eeh mi nah cum inna di ants nest :P... Portmore n Hellshire is sweet still!
You know, the garrison people are cheaters by nature. But that's just a habbit and nothing to mind, you could treat them just like they deal with you :P... Maad .I would say that all thoe the colonisation, has led to certain behaviors. It is a more natural and happier way of living. Lol
At first they where brought to Jamaica as slaves from Africa, and the men where placed on one side of the island while woman where taken on the next side, and where raped etc... They where abused and killed also :S.. As if black people are any different than white. I´m really quriouse about the thinking capability back then. But the Wikings also killed whites and earlier poor Swedes to, where slaves or pigor and drĂ€ngar... It´s really crazy how some people think that they are better because they are kings or what not... I'm a king, a dat di ja man made mi found out or they say that I'm a female but I prefer to see myself as a manđ. I love how they get suprised when I talk Patwa with them. U no dun kno...
By the way. Most of the Jamaicans I´ve met is a lot smarter than most others in the world. Because the life they have been living teach them bout real intelligens...
