One God, One Luv, One Destiny, through Christ Jesus...Nah Mean

About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Lion - Image Hosting

Whatagwaan people?...Yep it's me, Yu done know...Nah Mean. Anyway, I was born in Mandeville, Jamaica (original Yardi, you done know). Grew up right outside of Old Harbour, St. Catherine - a likkle spot call "Gutters". Growing up there gave me a great foundation, something I would not trade for the whole world. By the grace of God I came up in the midst of God fearing people, who were roots, well rounded and ambitious. This gave me the foundation and drive to know that I can go as far as I can dream, and that there are no boundaries. I love the Lord and I'm trying to live life by the Book, nah mean. I know that nobody's perfect but that shouldn't be an excuse for us to live as we feel like. We should be striving to be like Christ. On the flip side, I'm suppa laid back, but definitely not a push over. I am a lover of the arts, music(every genre), poetry, movies, plays...doesn't matter, I enjoy it all. I am a free spirit and a thinker, mostly an introvert but I love to laugh and have fun. Anywayz, y'all will hear more from me later...check out my Blogs, cause I think this myspace thing is a good way to put your thoughts out there and figure out where peoples heads are at nah mean. Blessed, zeen...good to go!

My Blog

The shoe was on the other foot

I was ashamed of myself this morning as I did to a young warrior what has been done to me all my life. I judged him based on his appearance, not waiting to see what he was really about.  I was o...

The Privilege of Pluralism?

One is never more aware of pluralism's sticky presence then when sitting in a round table discussion about faith. Like a wad of well-chewed gum that has been stepped in again and again, the strings of...

Warriors

These thoughts have been floating around in my head for a while, but they were re-ignited by some recent chain of events.  Therefore I figured I would put them down on paper before they were snuf...

Legacy

Last night I saw what I can only describe as the transference of heart.  Some might call it the passing of the torch, but I believe it goes much deeper than that. It was more than a sensei and h...

Youth Of A Nation - This Nation

This song was written shortly after the Columbine shootings (if I am not mistaken), but it seems fitting at this point in time as we consider what just took place at Virginia Tech.  My condo...

R.I.P. Shaka, you will be missed.

In his Meditation XVII, John Donne penned these remarkable words: No man is an island, Entire of itself. Each is a piece of the continent, A part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Eur...
