Jammin my views on art, travel, worldviews ect.

Before my journey to France, I was already intrigued by french culture and french food. I was so interested that I began to immerse myself the french way. One of the things I tried was cooking coq au vin which is chicken in wine. Basically you season your pieces of chicken with onions,seasoning salt, and whatever else you like. Then you place the chicken in a heated pan with oil, cook for about 45 minutes, then you simmer it down with the wine, kind of creating a sauce. This seemed pretty easy, however I added to much wine, after eating I felt extremely sleepy, basically I became drunk after cooking my coq au vin... Lol..Therefore for anyone cooking the french dish coq au vin, Please do not add too much wine !.

Well let me say this, whilst surfing youtube, I came across my first korean drama Lie to me , and since then I cant stop watching these dramas. I have also ventured into japanese, taiwanese and chinese dramas.

My father is so instrumental in my life, he is my best friend. Today on his day off we started to watch the long time movie Air Force One starring Harrison Ford. As we watched the movie, we both tried to figure out what was happenning. We started to discuss if it is possible today to hijack the presidents plane, we both agreed it was vitually impossible. As the suspense built up we tried to decide who was going to be killed, hailed the President when he decided to stay on the plane and protected hostages. We were so into the movie... lol I was aware that we needed to run some errands in town, and watching this movie would probably delay us to the point where the stores would be closed. The suspense of the movie kept building and there was no way we would stop watching this movie. As the movie near to end, we tried to grab our clothes and multi-task. We only had twenty minutes before the store closed. We ran to the car together, and we drove without speeding and thank God we were able

As I started to teach my classes in France, there was one thing common to all the students, they are wanted to know about Jamaica.They would ask questions about Bob Marley, the weather, rastafarianism etc. To tell the truth I probably knew as little as them. Yes I am Jamaican, and I do listen to Bob Marley but I do not know about all the history. I gave the students the opportunity to listen to his music and they loved it. Being an assistant for the next several months was fun. I only worked a few hours per week and so I was able to travel to various cities. In addition there are many holidays in France, so I took advantage of each holiday. I visited places like Paris, Normandie, and Bretagne.These were some of the best moments in my life. I loved the food, the people and the beauty of France.

The first time I left my home for a long period, 8 months to be exact was when I got the opportunity to be a teaching assistant in France. I remember vividly being excited initially and as the days grew near to departure  I came to realisation that I would be totally on my own and that I would be totally responsible for every aspect of my life.  These included laundry, rent, cooking which I had no skills, and making new friends in a country completely unknown to me. Saying bye to my parents and bawling in the plane from the letter my mom wrote to me, I set off on my journey.  Travelling solo was not my first time, so getting to my destination was without incident. I remember I spoke little french, however I was able to buy my train tickets. From the train station Gare du Nord, I called my chaperone and I clearly stated to him that I was probably  going to be only back person descending from train at my stop LOL.... I arrived apprehensive at the school were I met another teaching assi

The performance of the Jamaican athletes in the Beijing Olympics was fantastic but was it possible for them to repeat in London? Well  they sure did! The Jamaican athletes basically humiliated its rival the USA. For a country that has a population of approximately 3 million to threaten a nation that has 313 million people, is nothing short of amazing.  There was a lot of pressure on Jamaican athletes to perform, especially Usain Bolt, but they did not disappoint.  The Jamaican euphoria began  with Shelly -Ann Fraser winning the first gold medal and VCB winning the bronze.  At that time I was not able watch and join the festivities as the race was shown during hours of Sabbath, but when I got home I was able to see the replay. Then for the rest of the week I was supporting my fellow-men as they participated in varying events. My parents were acting too poised  for each win, so I joined my friend via skype,  where we hollered and I knocked pot covers together. I have screamed so much t
