Hurricane who…

I am definitely not a fan of hurricanes and the destruction they cause.  I always found it odd why people would choose to live near the coast line in areas and country they know is popular to hurricanes and natural disasters of the type.  It got me thinking that there is quite a few hurricane names out there when I saw someone post on Facebook a few names that has passed through the Caribbean.  I really don’t like hurricanes for the damage it does to property and my people.  Being from Jamaica, we are no strangers to hurricanes.  I remember when I was younger when me and my family got through hurricane Gilbert.  Those were some crazy visual.  It was just me and my cousin looking out the window of the intense rain and flooding.  That was so back in the days.

What do you guys think about the hurricane Irene on the east coast?  Are you in the upper east coast such as New York and so and think of its effects?

I have been in New York for a while and I have never experienced such a scare and preparation.  The world is definitely changing.

I am a Jamaican

I am very proud of my heritage.  I am a proud Jamaican.  I love the setting I was grown up in, and being from my country means a lot to me and my development as a person.  Being Jamaican comes with a lot of stereotypes and foolishness others create based on just negative actions by others which every culture some sort of negative stigma, but I have raised over all expectations and stereotypes and is here to show the world that, I Richardo is a Jamaican and coming for them.

Are you proud of your country?  Did where you were raised helped you become a better person?

Earth and Triton to scale.

I was here joying riding in my friend Jixi Fox‘s studio on his new Mac and it is so awesome.  Not even that, I decided to download Google Earth and I went on a worldwide tour around the earth.  I visited my country Jamaica, I visited sights around my present location, I even revisited Chicago where I have went on vacation in 2009.  I am so in love with Google Earth.  Just to see what technology has brought us that we can tour and go up and down streets all from the comfort of our home is so awesome.  I do what to travel and see these places and discover other great places in real life, but it’s great to be able to visit there or preview the area before going there through Google Earth.  Thanks Google, you guys rock.

Have you ever tried Google Earth?  I know the first place you visited was your house right?
