Gaza vs. Gully

Word on the street is that Bolt was very irresponsible to have sided with Gaza over Gully. “Sounds ominous don’t it?” Initially I had absolutely no idea what this all meant. (Ok, so I’m not with it.) But there is a growing concern as it is causing great discord amongst some of our fellow Jamaicans.
In Jamaica ongoing feuds have become a part of Dancehall. Many think that without the feuds Dancehall would become boring. Two of the main rivals today are Vybz Kartel and Movado. From what I now understand, Gaza refers to music by Vybz Kartel and Gully refers to music by Movado. So now Dancehall, followers declare either "Gaza Mi Seh" or “Gully Fi Life." What some people are saying is that Bolt made a grave error in judgment for expressing his preference in dancehall music.

Give me a break. Are we that shallow as a people that we can’t respect each other irrespective of a difference of opinion? So you like soul music and I like reggae or I like coffee and you like tea. I distinctly remember Bolt doing the gully creeper to the world after winning the 100 meters at the Olympic in Beijing in 2008. I heard no complains then. The world recognized him as a Jamaican, accepted him for who he is and we all loved it. Yes, he has become one of the most influential men in the world and with that comes responsibility. Is that, however, reason enough for us to act irresponsible.

Come on Jamaicans, we have so many more important issues needing our undivided attention. Can you imagine how boring the world would be if we all liked and did the same things. Let’s agree to disagree, especially when it comes to our likes and dislikes. Let’s try to understand, respect and accept our individualities and get on with this business of living.

Nuff Love

Three Ministers

Three ministers - a Presbyterian, a Methodist, and a Southern Baptist and their wives were all on a cruise together. A tidal wave came up and swamped the ship, and they all drowned. The next thing you know, they're standing before St.Peter.

As fate would have it, the first in line was the Presbyterian and his wife. St. Peter shook his head sadly and said, "I can't let you in. You were moral and upright, but you loved money too much. You loved it so much, you even married a woman named Penny."

St.Peter waved sadly, and poof! Down the chute to the 'Other Place' they went. Then came the Methodist. "Sorry, can't let you in either," said Saint Peter "You abstained from liquor and dancing and cards, but you loved food too much.

You loved food so much, you even married a woman named Candy!" Sadly, St. Peter waved again, and whang! Down the chute went the Methodists.

The Southern Baptist turned to his wife and whispered nervously, "It ain't looking good, Fanny."
