Yardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 4)

[*JG* 2]

Here is a picture of a Jamaican 40 leg http://www.peleyard.com/Jamaica%202007/Ani.../40%20Legs.html and other Jamaican animals.

Seeing that picture made my skin crawl

Rhaatid!!! mine too!! Mi tink me saw one adem 40 leg tings while in JA

I told Andre about our 40 leg discussions. He went on forever last night with horror stories of those things. He said I HAD to have seen them when I stayed. Glad I do not remember them.

Singer Jah Cure will make his first major performance in Jamaica since his release from prison on the third and last day of his very own 'Curefest', slated for Friday, October 12, to Sunday, October 14, in Trelawny and St. James.

And when he performs on Longing For, the climactic concert at the Trelawny Multi-purpose Stadium in Greenwood, he will be far from alone. Dennis Howard of Jahmento Productions outlined an extensive line-up of performers to those gathered for the official 'Curefest' launch at the Cable and Wireless Golf Academy, New Kingston, on Tuesday evening.

Among the nearly 50 scheduled performers are Morgan Heritage, Cocoa Tea, Lady Saw, George Nooks, Tarrus Riley, Beenie Man, Bounty Killer, Capleton, Ninja Man, Queen Ifrika, Barrington Levy, TOK, Wayne Marshall, Mavado and Prodigal Son. Howard also announced that Beres Hammond is the big surprise for 'Curefest'.

Line of performers

Hammond is not the only standout performer whose name was not on the screen who will also be a part of 'Curefest', as Karen Smith will be performing, along with Etana and Live Wyya, at the festival opening 'Reflections', an all-white birthday party for Jah Cure, which will be hosted by the singer at the Starfish Hotel in Trelawny.

On Saturday, October 13, the festival moves to Pier 1 in Montego Bay, St. James, for '45 Cures', a selector spin-off which will pit radio disc jockeys against sound systems and selectors. Among those who will play are Danger Zone, ZJ Liquid, Black Chiney, DJ Wayne, Little Richie, DJ Sunshine, Sky Juice, DJ Sparks, Stone Love, ZJ Nikki Z, Fire Links and ZJ Chrome.

Guest speaker Leachim Semaj, using examples from the books of James, John and Matthew in the Bible, noted that "talent is neutral". He said that while the talent that you have is God's gift to you, what you do with that talent is your gift to God."

President of the Jamaica Federation of Musicians (JFM) Desi Young said: "On behalf of the JFM, this is an endorsement of talent that has impressed, but the circumstances led to some absence. The fraternity is united in its support for this artiste (Jah Cure) going forward, showcasing this talent that the world has come to gravitate to."

Allan Green of the Western Society for the Upliftment of Children, which along with the Alpha Boys School will benefit from 'Curefest' gave thanks for the "timely donation".

OMGoodness!!! I'm so jealous!! I WANT TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's right in Ken's backyard!! JALOVE will be down there then...I wonder if she'll go! That sounds like an AMAZING concert!!! Thanks for sharing JG...I'm calling Ken right now to tell him! (That's another $10 on October's phone bill -whatcha gonna do?) This is BIG news!! We both love 'The Cure' and all those other artists...Bounty & Beenie..wata bam-bam!!!

-Gill

Music is very important. Good luck trying to explain why he can't have the door open and the music all the way up while he cleans up.

Are there any good movies coming out or have come out lately?

Hey JA.,

If you can, please try to go for all of us that can't. The prices for the big Sunday concert aren't horrible either between $1500JA. ($22US) and up! It's going to be a really nice concert. Plus the sound clash at Pier 1 ARGGGGH!!! I guess like Andre and Chris I am a JA. music fanatic! My sound system never last long because I always blow the speakers ! I've had to replace my car speakers twice and my car is only 2 years old! Yeah I know, I'm bad! Sometimes I think that I blast my music louder than some of the college students around here!

But I guess it depends what part of JA you are going to be in when you're there!

Yah, that is what we saw last year at Pier 1....the Sound Clash. That thing was off the hook. Except for the little riot when they started throwing bottles, it was a perfect night. Amazing music.

Wish we could go again. Just not in the cards this time.

My husband does still leave the doors open and the music blasting.....that's pretty much what I come home to when he beats me home. The neighbors haven't complained so far.

OFF TOPIC! (I don't know where to find the little smiley holding the sign that says it!)

I AM SOOOO MAD WITH MYSELF!! I completely forgot to wear all black today for the Jena 6! However, alot of the college students here did! Plus, they seem to have a really good turn out down in Jena, LA. I hope it helps to change that crazy judicial system!

Gill

Has anyone else seen a big number of people wearing all black in your areas of the country?

[JA Tam 7]

My girl...My girl...my girl! Yuh knoa mi love yuh like cook food doan? Nuff prayers gwaan hup fe yuh and yuh sweets. Mi wish mi dere pon plane gwaan back a yaad.

Mr Ja Tam come back wid yuh? Are you flying back after he gets the visa? *sigh* I dreaming right now...I can't wait until I see A walking in the Hartsfield/Jackson airport toward me...or beside me. As long as it's on this side of the ocean...LOL

I have been very sad lately. I am overwhelmed by the long wait that I have ahead of me. I started shutting down over the last few days, and I don't know how to continue coping. I miss A so much.

Fi real Jawi, thanks fi di prayers. We decided that he will be coming up in 3 weeks time, so that he can clear up some things. We figured that it is enough time for him to get the passport w/ visa and sort out things for his parents. We are aiming for Oct. 14th.

Jawi, we all have those down times. Believe me, just in July, I was breakng down so much wondering what was going on with the interview date. Just keep on coming here and get the encouragement.
