Yesterday was celebrated as International Reggae Day, and also marked the 10th anniversary of the passing of the Crown Prince of Reggae, Dennis Emmanuel Brown.
Today’s throwback is therefore dedicated to him.

Quotation of the day
“I can’t get a job!”

Back on top of things
De Dawta is back!
Thanks for all the well wishes. They were much appreci-loved. Bwoy, mi did miss oonu, yu si. Now, I have much catching up to do in Bloggerville, as well as on a personal level.
But what an eventful week that was! Is like everyt’ing did tu’n upside dung!
In the midst of personal and global upheaval, while everything around us is shaking and threatening to unsettle us, let us strive to find that place of peace, however we choose to do so. Let us be reminded, in the words of Anais Nin, that “people living deeply have no fear of death.” Let us embrace all of life even more, making the most of the present with each passing precious moment.
And on another note, I’m remembering my late boss, Douglas Chambers, one year later. Walk good, sir.

Toppling off the top of the world
This is EXACTLY how I’ve been feeling inside since last week. Ugh!
However, I’m battling whatever this bug is that’s trying to take over my body. (At least I perked up long enough to watch the Season 2-premiere of True Blood last night. Grin.)
So see you in a day or two. Or three.
