This is a site dedicated to the thoughts, comments, views and opinions of a transplanted Jamaican who - through the love, support and toleration of his family - makes his opinions known. Filters on written content may - or may not - be applied, depending on the side of the bed one gets up from, the impact of dreams the nights before, and so forth. CAUTION: A bizarre mix of Jamaican, British, American and LGBT humor is found throughout this blog.

AN ICON OF THE '70s SUCCUMBS TO CANCER
Farrah Fawcett, 62, the golden-haired sex symbol of the late 1970s who is best remembered for a popular bedroom poster and the detective series "Charlie's Angels" and who later found a niche portraying troubled women in made-for-TV dramas, died June 25 at a hospital in Santa Monica, Calif.
While still a relative unknown, she achieved two popular roles in 1976. On Wednesday nights, she was Jill Munroe, the blond Angel on the ABC detective drama produced by Aaron Spelling. All week long, she was the star attraction on a poster that sold a record 12 million copies. In a halo of impossibly buoyant curly hair, wearing a red swimsuit that left little to the imagination, she entered the dreams of adolescent boys everywhere and brought women into hair salons to copy her style.
She will be missed but never forgotten. Be in peace my love.
