Thanks for all the responses,
Sheba thank you for reminding me of the olympics, now the olympics is something I have never bothered about before, not at all, think it stems back to me being about 7 or 8 years old and our primary school had the chance to design the logo for the olympics, MINE was wayyyyy the bestI did not win the logo design award , my logo was not implemented I was 7 or 8 I was not impressed, I never wanted to see or hear about the olmpics again
Yes I can hold grudges , NORMALLY absolutely pathetic ones LOL I can hear you all now thinking :
tictoc does not attend the olympic games because when she was 7 years old they did not use her design LMAO
well ones feelings can get hurt you know!
Anyway that all changed when I saw a Jamaican athlete appear on my TV with what?
what is that?
A JAMAICAN FLAG
now now what do we have here I was thinking as I was channel surfing and about to blitz the stupid olympics off my tv screen which I had paid my tv license for!
So now I see a Jamaican guy and a Jamaican flag and I think
HALT STOP WHAT IS THIS??
I watched every second of him being on screen and him winning the race and the replays and every screening they had him on
USAIN BOLT
Fastest runner in the world hailing from Jamaicaa woooooooo
I tell everyone you can NOT test Jamaicans with their music their lyrics , their sound, their dances, their home grown home cooked food or their sport.
Why does no-one listen.
No country can compete and then the news stations were going crazy saying it is all of the home grown yam he has been raised on all his life fresh outta the ground in Jamaica.
It was a pleasure to watch and I knew from the start he was going to be the WINNER!
Not too sure about footy/football /soccer as I always hear bad things about the soccer teams in Ja even though there are many teams in Ja and they always seem to play a good game when I watch them but apparently they can't get on the footy map so what do I know I am just a gal who don't even care what the offside rule is or means but all I know is Jamaicans are good athletes and fantastic musicians,singers,players,dancers, bass speaker makers!
So that was the first time I held any interest in the Olmpic games.
The second time I had an inkling of interest was on this trip to Jamaica I met someone who is Jamaican living in Jamaica and they are actively involved in comingto the olympics and organising the department about Jamaica.I must get in touch with him to follow up more about it.So as soon as Sheba posted the link I thought oh yeahhhh this is what the guy was talking about, making the connection.You know I will be attending and I will hopefully get a little spot to perch on in the Jamaica department it will be so fun.
I am going to e-mail the guy who was telling me about it , see if I can get any further information so thanks sheba
Gerry ganja is illegal where I live but I do not smell it at reggae events because there are none where I liveIt is available but I guess if mostly what it does is make you be silent and stare at a boring old wall all day then the opportunities for that here for free are endless LOL.
This definately was a trip of two halves seeing it through 2 different perspectives but that is how I have always known it we always do the resort and countryside thing.
I stayed in Negril for so long on the hopes and promises of the negril escape concerts.Prices were getting higher and places were getting booked, if I had known it was all going to be a flop and nothing happen until after my departure I would have liked to have spent at least 4 days in ochi 2 in mobay and a little time in south coast or port antonio.I booked my hotels before I left on the promises of the shows but they never happened so..Still cannot complain as I love Negril but I would have liked to get out a little bit, don't think I did so bad though!
There is always next time for my next holiday of a lifetime LOL I say this every year I need my holiday its a holiday of a lifetime and everyone laughs and says you say that every year, a holiday of a lifetime is supposed to happen once in a lifetime!
Well I am practising for when I can make my holiday LAST an actual lifetime and never come back home!
