Tanks SP. Mi appreciate yur kind words.

i liked your essay a lot. its a funny ting dat about jamrock for some of us. first time i set foot years ago i felt this tremendous deja vu and feeling of home. i could not describe it. since that time i have come to realize that it is home to me, tho i was nevah born deh, i feel like i was!

since the culture, music, people, food of the islands are the things that make me happy.

first time some one told me, "yah walk like a Jamaican gurl" i felt it was the nicest compliment paid i in me life!

glad to see so many others feel the same.

really nice, really really nice.

Funny, the first time someone told me I dressed like a Jamaican, I was flattered, as well.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to make you happy.

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

I am glad this was brought back up. I feel the same way and everytime I am in JA and something happens I smile and say its a part of life. Funny I was talking to my honey about moving there and he says hes worried I will get homesick and be miserable! I said shoot I am miserable and homesick here!!!! People who argue against it just dont find that life for them. They think JA is just a vacation, but to me its part of who I am and has been for a long time.
Heres to JA and those ETJers who love it same way!!

Word girl. Its the same across the board.

I just read my essay again and I still mean every word.

So what is it? Some sensory memory in our genes? reincarnation?

I have never considered myself a tourist in the Caribbean - but would so in say Paris or even NYC. Tho' i love to travel and experience the culture everywhere, the culture in JA feels like MY CULTURE.

right now i would not be sittin' in front of my computer if i didnt want to get my fix of IRIE FM and feel that connection before heading into babylon (lord i am gonna be laaate for work!)

It is sensory....For me, it's the bright beautiful colors, sounds, and peoples. But, I will never deny the beauty of the island is shadowed by the beauty that shines within Jomo. Without him, the island would not be the same for me. I was lonely and homesick every time I came home too. Turns out, it was him.....always and only him I was truly missing.
