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*

Sister Mary Margaret
SISTER MARGARET MARY, WHO WORKS FOR A LOCAL HOME HEALTH AGENCY WAS OUT MAKING HER ROUNDS WHEN SHE RAN OUT OF GAS.
AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT A GAS STATION WAS JUST A BLOCK AWAY.
SHE WALKED TO THE STATION TO BORROW A CAN OF GAS TO START & THEN DRIVE TO THE STATION FOR A FILL UP.
THE ATTENDANT REGRETFULLY TOLD HER THE ONLY GAS CAN HE OWNED HAD BEEN LOANED OUT BUT IF SHE WOULD WAIT, IT WAS SURE TO BE BACK SHORTLY.
SINCE THE NUN ! WAS ON THE WAY TO SEE A PATIENT SHE DECIDED NOT TO WAIT & SHE WALKED BACK TO THE CAR. AFTER LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO FILL WITH GAS, SHE SPOTTED A BEDPAN SHE WAS TAKING TO THE PATIENT.
ALWAYS RESOURCEFUL, SHE CARRIED IT TO THE STATION & FILLED IT WITH GASOLINE, & CARRIED IT TO HER CAR.
AS SHE WAS POURING THE GAS INTO THE TANK, TWO MEN WERE WATCHING FROM ACROSS THE STREET. ONE OF THEM TURNED TO THE OTHER & SAID, "IF IT STARTS, I'M TURNING CATHOLIC".
