About Me





Firstly, if i could have you all on my top friends list, i would put you all on my main page, doesn't matter how long the page would look! I at least would get the chance to visit your page more often that way... So thanks your fe taking the time to stop by, :)
Check our home page to read about our recent trip to Jamaica!  www.marcline.com
Well, what can I say, my name is Browning (That's how the pickneys in Jamaica named me, -dem say i'm a brown race, lol, but they sometimes will also call me whiteeee, but mostly Brownin.. I guess, when you really think about it, there are no white or black skin after all, we are all in different shades of browns.)
I really loved my visit to the East Coast of Jamaica in Portland (what a secret gem that place is) and recently also stayed in the bush, a yard in rural Sunning Hill. This is in the hills of the parish of Saint Thomas also in Jamaica. Eating ital and living with the locals, seeing baby mothers washing clothes in the river, hiking in the bush or waiting for the route taxi with the school kids, on a day with lots of "fuckery" and visiting the local schools. I also traveled in Sint Maarten/Saint Martin, Cuba and Dominican Republic.
I enjoy listening to a lot of Reggae/Dancehall/R & B and soul music (especially anything new from Jamaica). I love the Federation Invasion podcasts. (I really grew tired a bit of the styles we haffi listen to on the radio here; ie: alternative music etc, I really found my type with the good old Reggae/Ska music and learned to appreciate more genres and really understand where this is all coming from... it made me discover the Real Jamaica; not the touristic Jamaica, thank god for that!)
Federation Invasion makes the best reggae & dancehall remixes right from Jamaica, check them out on iTune; here's one of my favorite volume:
I also enjoy playing my guitar and go camping at Fundy Canada's National park with Marc and our dogs and I do a lot of photography, often will be modeling and editing photos. I also speak well in French :) Keep an eye on my videos, I posted a link to my YouTube below.. I like to share my vacation videos.
**a very special thanks to Marc for taking so many beautiful pictures, and for letting me use them here (background picture and slide show)**

One Love, Brownin
Here are some music videos and some of my travel videos from Saint Thomas & Portland Jamaica, with our mentor; Rasta Mokko... Thought I would post some of them on here for every one to see:
Song from Cocoa Tea (Reggae singer from Jamaica) made a video about Barack Obama, worth checking it out!
