about me
I was born and partially raised in Portmore, St. Catherine, Jamaica. I migrated to the United States with my family in February of 1992 at the age of 14.5. I finished high school here, went to college and so on. Right now, I am working on a Masters degree in public administration and policy analysis (MPA).
I am open-minded, passionate, opinionated and worldly
“I’ve had it with BGC (Black Gay Chat Live)!” I yelled at my computer, after checking my mail where a ‘brutha’ left me a message with “Sup?” as its only content. What does “sup?” mean? Of course, I know that it is an abbreviation for “What’s up?” But knowing that doesn’t make it any less frustrating. And then, upon reading several profiles from the sordid mixture of gay, bi-sexual, and Down-low brothers, I really became frustrated at the myriad of spelling errors, bad grammar and quite offens...

Sitting in a comfy chair
Staring out the doors
Admiring how the day’s so clear
Not engaged, nor bored
My hands relaxed unmoving
My feet sit slightly bent
No knots are present on my brow
A feeling of content
Tomorrow does not haunt me
No agenda for today

But I no task completing
For they are not in view
My mind, you see, is absent
From the future and the past
I’m ...

Lately, I have been blogging a lot about the state of the economy, but more from a "spiritual" or "soul-searching" perspective.

He argues that the weakening of the U.S. dollar is actually a good thing because it gives us a global, economic advantage, in that, our products would be sold abroad a...

I see him standing there
And I want to touch his face
The wind tickling his dreadlocked hair
And I want to touch his face
His cell phone rings he snaps it open
Inaudible words exit his lips
Lips separating softly, revealing pearly white teeth
Does his lips say “come to me?” No.
He gesticulates with every word
And I want to touch his face
Shifts his weight; legs taking turns
Oh, just to touch his face
His bus finally arrives; he boards
The crowd swallowing him up

Everyone keeps railing on and on about the dire state of our economy. Some “experts” portend that it will begin to improve late this year; while others say things will get a lot worse before they get better. The fact of the matter is that people are, indeed, suffering. With that said, the state of the economy – as bad as it might be – has forced us to develop some great habits. It has become our new life teachers. Lesson one: consumption. In my apartment complex, for example, the dumpster is ...
