Music
Music controls your life. Someone says something you think of a song sometimes, right. Music is the only thing that affects both the left and right part of your brain. Some songs can make you suicidal, lustful, angry, and chill like Bob Marley. haha
Shaggy
Remember that one singer Shaggy back in the day. Hella deep lyrics. He talks about how women are like gods and keeps going on about it. The one song I like from him is Angel. First line says "Life's one big party when you're still young
But who's gonna have your back when it's all done
It's all good when you're little, you have pure fun
Can't be a fool, son, what about the long run."
What does he mean by this.

Bob Marley
Do you know anything about Bob Marley. I do and I'm proud of it. Like how his real name is Robert Nesta Marley and died on May 11, 1981 at age 36 in Miami, Florida. He was born in
Nine Mile, Saint Ann, Jamaica. HOw hes been singing for almost 20 years. He's had 13 kids but we only learn about 3 of them. You know them Damien, Steve, and Ziggy. Bob Marley is an influential person who talked about lots of things like Buffalo soldier, drugs, and Rastafari. I hate it when you ask someone about Bob Marley they automatically think about weed. It is waht he did but I don't like it when thats the only thing that comes in their mind. They don't talk about his songs or religion, but about his smoking habit.

Hi I'm Jeff and I love my culture
Back in the island we have so many things that are different in our world compared to the Mainland (U.S.A.) . Like first of all our classes are not based on income but on how much land you own. It's weird because in the old days if you wanted to marry a woman you had to go to the father and give him your greatest pig and stone money (currency usually 50 punds or more). If the father was pleased he would let you wed the daughter(kind of like the movie HOLES). Another thing is that we do so many things as a family. We learn dances from the island together and we never leave. If you check out all the groups like S.O.S. AND T.C.K. they all family. Im proud my family sticks together and never splits alone. We always have differences but we have to make it up before the night is over because tomorrow is a brand new day. My grandpa always says forgive and forget. DON'T WORRY ABOUT A THING BECAUSE EVERY LITTLE THING IS GONNA BE ALL RIGHT-Bob Marley
