‘Night on Tracks’ featuring Asafa Powell and Friends in concert
In the midst of all the controversy with Vybz Kartel and Movado, the intolerable increase of the tax package and the madness of getting ready for Christmas it was really nice to see the picture of Usain Bolt, Asafa Powell and American sprinter Tyson Gay together dancing obviously having a great time. The event was the ‘Night on Tracks’ featuring Asafa Powell and friends in concert at the National Indoor Sports Centre in Kingston.
Unfortunately I was not there; I can only read about it in the Gleaner. They say a picture can say a thousand words and this is definitely one on them. I must confess that the picture placed a smile on my face and a glimmer of hope in my heart. Here was a positive message going out to our people, something that we are desperately in need of today. We have so many negatives going on right now that any positive is very welcomed.
On the tracks Usain Bolt, Asafa Powell and Tyson Gay are major rivals. No Jamaican wants to see Tyson Gay win a race, especially if Usain and/or Asafa are in it. Mark you, a 100 metre race is not a race these days if at least 2 of these guys are not in it. However that is on the tracks, as it should be. It was great to see Tyson Gay here as a guest of Asafa on another level. I hope Vybz Kartel and Movado can both learn something from these guys.
Nuff love

Bruk Pocket Jamaican
"Recently, this Jamaican won the 10 million special lottery for a dollar. As soon as the office of the Lottery Corporation was open on the following day, he was there to collect his winnings.
Graciously, he presented his winning ticket to the clerk and in his best English uttered his request "Me cum fi collect the 10 millian dallars, si me ticket ya".
After reviewing and checking the ticket with his manager, the clerk returned and requested on how he would like his payments. The Jamaican replied "Mi wan all a de moni now". "Unfortunately, Sir" the nervous clerk responded, "The procedures are that we can only give you one million now and the balance equally over the next 20 years".
Furious and agitated, the Jamaican asked for the manager, who re-iterated "Sir, my assistant is correct, it is the regulation of the corporation that we initially pay you one million dollars now with the balance paid to you equally over the next 20 years".
Outraged, the Jamaican slammed his hand on the desk and shouted in anger, "Oonu tek me fi idiat, me wan all a de moni now or oonu gi me bak me rass dallar!!"
