Having been somewhat familiar with love of varying types over the years, I thought I might as well try to understand it. I’ve come up with little, lol. It is a topic with which everyone is familiar; but we all have various views on its meaning, purpose and manifestation/expression. I’ve shared various views on theContinue reading “Irrational behaviour – falling in love”

Recently while on Facebook I came across a poem written by Natalie Anguine. It dealt with the matter of being in love and how it can hurt. Give it a  read and share your feedback… Have you ever fallen in love, but know they didn’t care? Have you ever felt like crying, but knew it wouldContinue reading “Have you ever been in love?”

For those of you who know me, Garth’s no angel #NewsFlash . On occasion I’ve been called upon to play various roles with the ladies… boyfriend, lover, man, best-friend, confidante, counselor and, of course, “joe grind”. If you’re unfamiliar with the phrase “joe grind”, let me quickly share. Mr. Joseph P. Grind is the gentleman responsibleContinue reading “Why “Joe Grind” can’t marry her”

I moved from Jamaica in early January to take up a job in Dominica. No, it’s not the Dominican Republic, Haiti’s neighbour and home of Latina booties (beauties). I came to the Eastern Caribbean nation of Dominca – the land of 365 rivers and gorgeous, lush vegetation. Whoever said Jamaica is the “land of woodContinue reading “Why I said no to sex, the first night”

At the risk of sounding somewhat superficial, I can’t help but wonder what’s at work whenever I see a “mismatched” couple. She’s cute like a button and he’s as ugly as sin or vice-versa. You readers probably ask the same question I do, “how did he get that girl?”. What is ugly/attractive? Attractive is an adjectiveContinue reading “the princess and the frog”

Jamaican actress Andrea Wright aka DELCITA in the 2010 play “Ova mi dead body” said, “Love without money is like lemonade without sugar, it nah go sweet”. We are living in a material world, where diamonds are still a girl’s best friend. The media seem to reinforce the “value” that it takes cash to careContinue reading “Material World – material girl?”

It’s a rare occurrence when a Jamaican man will cheat and admit to his friends that he  feels guilty. Recently, a good friend of mine was anxious to go have a drink with us boys. He volunteered to pick us all up or pay taxi fare and the drinks would have been his treat. WeContinue reading “That poor cheatin’ bastard”

‘Tis the season to be jolly and some women know ’tis the season for men to break off relationships that may prove too costly to maintain. Although breaking up is hard to do, make-up sex sure can make it all worthwhile.Experts all over the world agree that having uninhibited sex after a quarrel is aContinue reading “break up to make up (sex)”

On average a man will tell 126,672 lies in their entire life, which amounts to six lies a day, and women are not much better when it comes to telling the truth. A poll carried out by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment found that women are less dishonest, telling three lies per day, or 68,796Continue reading “Women and lying”

I ran into an ex-girlfriend yesterday. This was our first time seeing each other in about 2 years. The break-up was “clean” (mutual) and we maintained contact via Facebook; you know, happy birthday and merry Christmas. We’re both now parents and we compare ‘parental notes’, but our online exchanges never go deeper than that. OurContinue reading “Friends with the ex? Not simple at all”
