This morning i woke up out of a sound sleep with my heart beating loudly and gasping for air.
Today is June 18th… I leave for San Fran on July 6th…. *insert scream here*
I.am.not.ready. Point blank… I’m just not. I need to get my ass in gear ASAP because shit isn’t gonna work like this.
Wish me luck!
I have been blessed a million times over. I have met so many wonderful people in my life and seen so many beautiful things and places. Jamaica may have the distinction of being the most beautiful place that I have ever seen and I was fortunate enough to spend 5 days there in celebration of my niece’s graduation from college…
This is my second trip to Jamaica and though I would say that Negril is more beautiful than Ocho Rios, being on vacation with my sister, my niece, my nephew, and BJ was an amazing experience and its something that i hope to do again. Although I’m still waiting on the photos from Dunn’s River Falls, I wanted to blog about the trip before too much of it left my mind.
We stayed at the Sunset Jamaica Grande Resort in Ocho Rios. The view from the hotel was amazing. The food was great. There was plenty of time for sappiness and laughs. My niece did activity… and it made her hungry. My nephew drank Likkle Biggas while my sister got lost in the jungle. BJ did a bit of cooning… and we ate some more.
In our free time we took a trip up to 9 Mile, the birth and final resting place of Bob Marley. Seeing the World thru the eyes of a young Bob Marley makes his music that much more meaningful. Unfortunately i didn’t get the same sense of peace inside of the mausoleum where he is laid to rest.
It was an amazing trip… despite the 5 extra hours spent in Miami and I hope to go back soon.
The rest of the photos can be found here. Hopefully i’ll be adding pics from Dunn’s River Falls soon. Here are a few more pics til then
Fuck you, ok?
Who told you to crack?
Who told you to position yourself under my foot?
You wanted to die… and now… you’re gone.

So now, time is moving entirely too fast. I feel like i’m completely out of time. In 48 hours i’ll be at the airport on my way to Jamaica… In 34 days I’ll be on my way to San Fran… It’s all happening so fast. It’s exciting and scary at the same time.
I also handed my paycheck over to this place yesterday. I’m an idiot… but I smell delicious and my skin is glowing. I’m also still waiting on this last damn grade. It’s driving me absolutely crazy. I really just want to know what i got so that i can enjoy my summer (and figure out where i’ll be applying for a job).
I have a ton of things on my mind but nothing is really coming together so i’m gonna stop now. I’ll be back though.
It’s like sunshine… and rain…
That sums up the weekend.
There was good food, great people, lots of laffing and even a little crying (yes, i’m the only one that cried). I think we experienced every weather condition possible… oppressive heat, cold rain… you name it, we had it. Of course there was also my persistent neck pain and a brief stint of an altered state of consciousness, but overall it was an amazing weekend.
As someone who is rarely around the majority of the folks that i call my friends, this weekend was a much needed opportunity for me to spend time with folks that i genuinely love and care about. I will admit that the whole thing made me even more emotional than usual but i honestly did my best to control my gayness.
There was also strippers, likka, and some other stuff but i’ll have to save that for another blog. I have to start getting ready for Jamaica!
