Olympics Fewer

Wow, wow and wow......what else can I say. This weekend was one of the best in
Jamaica's history. Usain Bolt ran the race of his life and made his country proud and he did it in fine style by breaking his World Record and Olympics Record....how cool is that. By doing so he became the first Jamaican 100m sprinter to win Gold and he will be looking to become the first man since 1984 to win the Olympic sprint double.

Shelly-Ann Fraser, Sherone Simpson and Kerron Stewart again made history with a rare sweep to become first athletes to win gold-silver-silver of the 100m. wow, wow, and wow again.

We had this in us all along and now we have shown the world what we are made of. Something that started decades ago by Donald Quarrie, Herb Mckinley, Merlene Ottey, Juliet Cuthbert, and many more. In an event (100m) that was dominated by the Americans where we were force to settle for second best, we are now proving that we own it and will for a long time to come. The Americans are protesting that Tori Edwards false started, but the truth of the matters is that they are ashame. We put them to shame in the 4x100m relay in Athens in 2004 and we did it again in style and made history.

Ever since that anti-doping clamp down on the athletes America is losing dominance in the sprint event....I don't know if ya'll notice but I did. Remember when we just couldn't get gold and we had to sit the pain of hearing the American National Anthem over and over again, that was.....I won't even say the word, but you get the picture. Now since all this drugs testing a whole lot of athletes who were winners are now been seen as losers. And Americans sprinters top the list, now that they can't dope up they are losing to who.....the country who had to settle for second best. So you see it's not that we couldn't do it, it's just that the winners had an extra boost. Maybe if they were testing back then as much they are doing now.....maybe we would have seen a gold-silver-bronze from Merlene Ottey, Juliet Cuthbert and Grace Jackson.

I am disappointed in Asafa Powell, who wouldn't be. Physically he is ready, but mentally his is not. What else is there to say he said so himself after the race. But despite it all he is Jamaican and I am proud of him. He helped put us back on the map although we would love to see a gold medal from him, at the end of the day he is Jamaican.

It's times like these that make me proud to be a Jamaican. I am always a proud Jamaican, don't get me wrong. But it's performances like these show the world that we are more than crime and violence. Jamaica is blessed land and if we will all wise up and see that we will be a better Nation. Our athletes have made us proud and gave us something to brag about and we will be bragging for a long time. Jamaica Land We Love!!!

Olympics Testing

Asafa Powell was tested four times and he thinks that they are overdoing it. Well he is not the one I mean tested four times.....that is ridiculous. How do they expect him to perform after they finish with him....maybe they don't expect him to perform at all. They have been questioning our superb performances for quite a while now. They tried it with Merlene Ottey and now they are targeting our Asafa and Usian. When Usian first hit the World Record on Jamaican soil the US Micheal Johnson stated that we don't have the technology to determine accuracy and that he don't trust that Usian is that fast. Well, Usian proved him wrong and where better to do so than on American soil. Jamaica has produced many athletic champions over the years and none as been dubbed steroid user. Well maybe if you include Ben Johnson.....he ran for Canada and he was their pride and joy until the mention of steroids and they disowned him. I just hope Asafa holds his ground cuz I am looking for Gold and Silver in the 100m. I don't care who win Gold cuz whether it be Usian or Asafa I will be celebrating either way.

NBA Off-Season

Who will win Rookie of the year? My bet is on Michael Beasley of the Miami Heats who has a big upside for the Heats. Other guys like Derrick Rose or O.J Mayo could give him a run for it.

Will the Celtics repeat? Well for one they are looking to add more depth to their bench and is said to be in talks with Corey Maggette.

How will the Knicks fix their problem? After last year's disaster they decided that it was time for a change, starting by getting rid of Isiah Thomas and replacing him with Mike D'Antoni (who I might add had great success with the Suns). They also sign Chris Duhon which I think will signify the end of Stephon Marbury. Their next move is to let Jerome James, Eddy Curry and Zach Randolph go.

Will Kobe demand another trade? Last summer Kobe got sick of being a one man show and demanded to be traded. Well nothing came of it but instead of being a cry baby he showed why he is one the best by copping the MVP. I think he will remain with the Lakers next season.

Preparation for 2010? In anticipation for 2010 many Teams are already working diligently to get under the salary cap. By then Lebron James will be an unrestricted free agent and the Cavaliers will be working to avoid that. According to rumors LeBron will not resigned with Cleveland. LeBron has a desire to play in the big city, the Mecca of basketball so New York could be his first choice or he will choose the Nets due to his close friendship with Nets shareholder Hip Hop sensation Jay-Z.

My Brother a Cop

My joined the police force and I wish him all the best even though I am in fear for him. It's what he wants and he will have the support of his family as long as he is not doing anything wrong. He is my only brother and the only son for both mother and father. We are the same mother and father as well as my older sister. Our mother died 10 years ago and we have been like his second mother. I know she would have been proud of him, cause we are.
