Voting Hype

So it’s election fever again and as customary baseless promises and flippant quotes abound from the candidates, prominent citizens, and the ordinary man in the street, in order to influence votes. I have selected some good ones for you, if you are an islander and know your peeps and your 2P’s inside out then you should be able to determine the source or who said what! And too, there has been the usual name-calling. So I have also added a few choice nicknames for you to figure out who’s who. ‘Ah bwoy’ as a people we are too funny. If we could find a way to market and trade our brand of comedy complemented with our entrepreneurial [sic hustling] skills, we would have struck oil!

Quotes:
1. “It’s Christmas, so it’s ‘Party’ time.”
2. “This is a party with a passion for the people, a party that cares about the upper, middle and lower classes, and no class.”
3. "I am going to prove to Jamaican people that they don't have to bleach to reach because I won't have to trim to win."
4. "As your member of parliament, I have been a builder.”
5. "Kibber yuh mouth, don't talk about it again if you talk about it again there is more I have to say."
6. “Them come up and announce Prado, Range Rover, Audi … but we have the keys to the JEEP.”
7. “If anything, the election is a stimulus package. As the holidays draw nigh….those who were not meaningfully engaged have attached themselves to a party or two and are now ‘eating a food’.”
8. “We have earned the vote of the undecided!”

Nicknames:
1. “Holiness”
2. “Man-a-Yard”
3. “Gangs of Gordon House”
4. “Running Man”
5. “Comrade Can’t Lose”
6. “Sister P”
7. “Baby Bruce”
8. “Son of the Soil”

Silly season again...now what

Been so busy but I have not forgotten about the blog. I keep hoping to find time to update even the template! So I guess that old cliché will be my first of a few messages to you this Christmas 2011:-

1. The more things change the more they remain the same
2. Time waits on no one but remember to hope that maybe love will
3. Reach out to someone in need, true friends are always there
4. Share your knowledge, don’t assume everybody ought to know
5. Stop and listen, everyone has different circumstances in their life
6. Laughter is the best medicine for any misery.

In the true spirit of Christmas, please help others by giving back from the heart. Receiving is just as important too, so learn to accept what is given to you. And above all never give up.

Happy Holidays. Click and enjoy one of my favourite Christmas songs from Luther ... I don't know how love could do this to me ... so much emotion it's driving me mad ... my friends gather round me with holiday cheer ... but I can’t keep explaining what they’ll never understand ... why I take my chances hoping that you will be here ... so here I am ... every year every Christmas.
