Rain and Rainbows


I just flipped my daily motivator calendar and saw today's quote:

The beautiful colours of the rainbow can only be seen through the prism of rain.

Have you ever noticed that a rainbow does show itself after raining or it might appear somewhere in the distance and you say to yourself "but rain is not falling"... technically, there are some water particles off in the distance that we are not seeing, but we do see the rainbow.

How is a rainbow formed?

watch this on YouTube, and you will get a better understanding


In conclusion, there must be some form of water molecules for a rainbow to appear.


There are persons who have associated this saying with real life. They have linked rain with a person going through hardship and the rainbow as something to look forward to after the rough times. But is this a fair analogy?

We need rain for crops to grow and bear, for livestock to feed from, for human beings to live comfortably, in all fairness, we can't do without the rain. Yes, the same rain can cause major destruction, but what would life be without water?

Why is something that does so much more good than bad is linked directly to one's pain and hardship?

In real life, I probably had a car accident, lost my daughter, went into depression for months or years, later on got pregnant again and have another child. If someone says to me that this child is the rainbow that happened after the rain, is this a fair comparison... I didn't need that accident, I didn't need all that pain, so why associate it with something I need?

Third Person

Have you ever tried to have an intelligent conversation with an individual, only to realize that the person is either in denial that they belong in an asylum or they really believe they are normal. When speaking with someone and they start to refer to themself as the third person - BEWARE.

In a recent interview with the controversial DJ Vybz Kartel and Hot 97, I couldn't help but notice that he kept on referring to himself as the third person... when asked why he does certain things, he would respond, "who is Vybz Kartel? He is the the one who puts on braces without needing them"
A narrator is one who normally removes themself from a character and becomes the third person so he can narrate the story to his audience. A character is a fictional invention, it does not exist in real life. This leads me to wonder if the hypnotized fans have ever stopped to ponder the fact that they are bleaching to look like something that is not real.
Suppose tomorrow I decide to wear a blue tights and a red underwear on the outside of that along with a big red cape, would that be acceptable since I'm trying to be just like Superman?



Will it take a genius to one day open the eyes of these night crawlers, who walk around in stockings, tights, long sleeve shirts and hats in the days to hide from the sun because they want their skin to be light, so they can see that they are trying to transform themself to match something that is not real?

The irony of it is that they laugh at Michael Jackson (God rest his soul) when he wanted to be Peter Pan

No opinion


Almost every second to third word out of a typical Jamaican's mouth now is "cool like me wash me face with the cake soap"..."OHH"... "a whoa"... we have been kartelized over the past few months, to an extreme where it has become annoying.

The last guy I heard with the cake soap argument, I asked him if cake soap was a normal soap to wash underwear? He said yes. Which led me to the other side of the fence (the gully side) where Mavado bleats out lyrics of it being against the law for men to wash panties... which not only imply that men should not wash female underwear, but you would be an outcast. So, what I'm really trying to put together is... if a bad man lives with his girl and she washes her undies with cake soap, should he get his own or do they use the same one? Also, if he has his own, how will he know if she has or hasn't used it?

We have become little guinea pigs in the demented mind of a lyricsis who uses his body and slick tongue as tools of PR. When he dropped the 'Clark's' song, every bruk-pocket handcart man went downtown to try get a Clark's. http://likkleblackgyal.blogspot.com/2010/05/clarks-phenomenon.html Clark's, arguably, became the number one selling shoes during that era.
Straight Jeans and Fitted hats couldn't stay in stores when he landed that one on us also... Rosaries became an overnight sensation (and I'm not talking about among the nuns). People were walking like they were in a trance trying to find these 'well sought after' trends in fashion... all because of Kartel. We can look at the positive side where he has made an impact on the economy by providing jobs for persons (those in the buy and sell industry - higglery) and our cash flow in the Jamaican market to free up, but can it also be said that we do not have an opinion of our own? No man could be found in a long foot jeans... cut off foot a dweet... and if you nuh inna dat something wrang wid u. A man going to a funeral had on a black cut off foot jeans, black Clark's, white tee shirt, fitted black cap and he made damn sure never to leave his rosary.

It seems like these people just sit and wait on Kartel to tell them what to wear, what to eat, how to bleach and how to behave. The era of own opinion has ended effective 2010.
