Touch down in Kingston after what seem like an instant on South Beach where the World Music Conference was going on. I get called back early wid good news 'bout a job, some music video, I more than need the money after C.M.E..

4:55pm
The flight did delay still, so of course my ride no deh yah. I contemplate tekking a JUTA but opt to wait.

Alright den….Everyting dun plan out. Everybody ah head out 'round 1o'clock…………. uh huh..yeah sure!

11am
packed up my sh*t. Well, I didn't exactly unpack, I just eliminated and added. At this point, I have NO IDEA what's in my bag. 2 things I'm sure about…I packed 3 of my sweetest bikinis and loads of clean undies, so the essentials are there…I'm safe.

12:48pm
Load up the van (I just cyaan pack light). And head up to Blacks. I don't know WHY because I am sure he WON'T be ready!

12:58pm

1:15pm
OK…I think that was the last call…yeesss….we ah head out the door…lock the door…yeeeesss…got the keys?…..yeeeeessss….got yuh bags? ….alright…wallet? …yes? Alright, we set!

2pm
Reach my bredrin's house, everyone looking a little pissed. We should have left an HOUR ago!!! Just typical, we late…. and is our fault.

2:05pm
Call Mic while I wait in the car…..out of range….She mussi on the beach…I'm jealous!

2:20pm
Finally everyone is all rounded up and ready to CUT! By the time we leave Manor Park and get on the open road….we've already lost each other. So we really didn't have to leave together after all, I guess.

4pm
Pit Stop #1- Yuh dun know yuh have to touch in pon ah one rum bar here and there. Whites ah di one ting yuh guaranteed to find in dem deh bar, anyting else… keep yuh fingas crossed!

5:08pm
Thank God we stopping again. You don't know how long I have been holding for the bathroom. Where we deh? Spur Tree? Oh, the famous PING's jerk pit. Dem seh pork cleaner than chicken these days yuh know! That's not my excuse, trust mi…. is just something I heard. It sweet though…. well tender……………… pepper!!!! WATAH…. No…. ICE………. gimme some ice……SH*T!!!

5:25pm
Everbody catch up at the jerk pit, so that was cool, but it neva mek much difference, 'cause once we move out again, ah it dat! Dem gaaaa'n.

7pm
Touch down in Negril. We did tek our time on the road caw dem did wet. And yuh dun know 'bout the cow dem around Bluefields. Not to mention the accident we passed. It did look really bad. The car was completely flipped over on the roof. Dem lucky nobody was hurt. Four likkle yute, and you know dem get f*ck now! Then again, times different now.

7:10pm
At hotel. Cyaan deal wid no party tonight. I gwane go down to the buffet when I dun bathe and ah it dat for me…. Lights Out!

3:30pm
Have some lunch at the grill, topped off with a daiquiri (non-virgin thankyou). When I finish this I gwane head back to the room. It's getting overcast anyhow. I don't think we'll see the usual Negril showers though…

9pm
What time is it?! Sh*t! 9:00?!! I wonder where everybody deh? What time that party start anyway?

10:10pm
Done bathe and ready up myself. I still waiting for everybody to get here so we can all walk down the beach together to the party. I tired yuh si!!

10:30pm
Finally we head out. I guess I am tired and drained. I just not vibing tonight at all. If it was anything else I wouldn't go, but since dem set up a Whaddat VIP room and all, I haffi show my face. Mi jus' ah go beat two juice, eat a food and listen some tune.

12am
Ok, I am fully ready to dip out of this party. I am just dog tired, and it nuh help when dem pull up everyting caw some nigga want to see some breasts. Yow, my argument is, this is not Spring Break, IS EASTER. Big difference, seen. Apparently, these days niggas can't enjoy themselves unless there's some tits and ass flying around. And what? I live in a music video? Yow, if seeing some drunken chick tek off her clothes equates with fun for you, then that's just greeeaaaattt. Anyway, I'm no nag, so I'll just leave it at that.

12:45am
The music pick up and get wicked!!! Or I guess everyone got tired of searching for titties and brought it back to the party.

1:10am
I ready. I ready. I ready!

1:30am
I just going to mek a last trek roun' the party and tek some pics, den ah it dat, I'm out.

Sunday 10am
I'm up!! I not doing Renaissance today. My vibe nuh deh deh. I shoulda follow it last night and not gone out, but, whatever. Today is for the beach.

10:30am
Head out to the beach. Secure some chairs, towels and deck out. The sun ah blaze!

11pm
The water is so warm!

4pm
I'M FRIED CRISPY BROWN! I can just see myself stripping next week….. eeewwwww …. SPF15?!!! Hah! Don't go trusting your sunblock.

5pm
Finish bathing…ow ow ow! Everywhere is so burnt. It hurts just lying on my back! I gwane ask the caretaker for some aloe.

5:30pm
Yow, this thing stinks! It work though, but I going to have to wash it off later before we go to dinner.
