Jazz Festival 2010 looks exciting!

Ok I had to give myself lines a while ago to prevent ... myself from writing about the depressing situation which has been brought on to us Jamaicans thanks to our bumbling government. No I want to keep positive, I want to write positive posts to make this season a little more joyful. So I went on a search for a nice topic to ease my mind a bit and after sifting through the newspapers I found that preparations for Jazz festival are now in full swing... yay!

To all who dont know, the Jamaica jazz festival is a 3-4 day event which basically celebrates Jazz and Blues and R & B music and is held every year at the end of January and Early February and has featured artists such as Earth Wind and Fire, Alicia keys, John legend, Macy Gray, Diana Ross (who disappointed... still vexed about this), Billy Ocean, Koko taylor, bo diddley... and the list goes on and on. All in all it has always been a pretty good event with a nice sized following.

The 2010 event looks to be just as excellent a show as we have grown to expect. The headliners announced so far include: Billy Ocean (yay), Machel Montano (Soca music... ok), The Whispers, Third World, Maxi Priest, Joss Stone, Robin Banks, Roy Ayers, The Queen Project (?)  and Hall and Oates. I'm bubbling with excitement at getting the opportunity to listen to Billy Ocean again as he was an excellent performer at this year's staging and I'm thinking he can bring it again, and I'm also excited about Third World, Maxi Priest and oh yea I forgot to mention GLADYS KNIGHT. Yes the empress of soul will be performing at next year's jazz festival!

Yes I'm excited to hear her because I've never heard her perform live before and I think she will be excellent as her voice is magical. Also the venue of the Jazz festival has also changed to the Trelawny multipurpose stadium, another interesting move by the producers of the show but one which I think will not fail.

All in all I cant wait for next year's staging as this show looks like it could be epic...

Wait, what am I saying, knowing what the government plans to do I'll probably just have to write about it because I doubt I can afford to attend this show. What next Shaw? Are you gonna tax the air?*grumble*

The Small Sandal Shop

A married couple was on holiday in Jamaica. They were touring around the marketplace looking at the goods when they passed this small sandal shop.

From inside they heard the shopkeeper with a Jamaican accent say, "You!

Foreigners! Come in, come into my humble shop."

So the married couple walked in.

The Jamaican said to them, "I have some special sandals I think you would be interested in. They make you wild at sex."

Well, the wife was really interested in buying the sandals after what the man claimed, but her husband felt he really didn't need them, being the sex god he was.

The husband asked the man, "How could sandals make you into a sex freak?"

The Jamaican replied, "Just try them on."

Well, the husband, after some badgering from his wife, finally gave in, and tried them on. As soon as he slipped them onto his feet, he got this wild look in his eyes, something his wife hadn't seen in many years!

In the blink of an eye, the husband grabbed the Jamaican, bent him

violently over a table, yanked down his pants, ripped down his own pants,and grabbed a firm hold of the Jamaican's hips.

The Jamaican then began screaming; "YOU GOT THEM ON THE WRONG FEET!!!"
