This is a scenic shot of one of my granite customers in the Bahamas.

It made me realize that our work lives are a small portion of why we’re here on this planet.  Many people would trade the fifty years in the system for a few short years living on an island paradise eating grapes.

Hopefully in our lives, we’ll all have the opportunity to sample both at one time or another.



I miss the Bahamas so much. I’d love to just live there forever. I will go back to Atlantis one day!



Yesterday night I posted a picture of the view of one of my client’s houses in Nassau in the Bahamas. 

Later the next day, we found that one of his employees had been taken to jail for possessing a gun.  He was 19 years old and as we drove up to the worker’s driveway I had a sinking feeling.

We sat and drank tea with his mother while Indian music blasted behind us.  Without his work she would not be able to survive.  The money we dropped off, which I originally thought was “bail money” was actually to bribe the sheriff to let him go.

Outside no less than a dozen young kids played while eating from closed-cell extruded polystyrene foam containers.

His worker was out of jail by the end of lunch time.

HAUTE wuk



welcome to the goodlife..?



Jamaican Slap Chop…



I use drink a lot of this soup in Jamaica. I found it in the supermarket the other day and had to get it.

Cheers!

Over the weekend we were lucky enough to catch up with upcoming Jamaican dancehall artist Terro 3000. Having previously featured on UK dancehall/reggae blogs Shimmy Shimmy and Why Delila, Terro spoke to us about his early days, the breakthrough singles and what he’s got planned for the near future.

What age did you start clashing?

I started clashing at a very young age, about 6 or 7 when i started. In Jamaica clashing is where most people start their musical journey. I started by singing over my favourite DJs songs. Back then it was more about who could remember the most songs! After doing that for a while I started to develop my writing (I still remember the first song I ever wrote!). Then I moved to high school and that’s where the birth of Terro took place. Clashes were done every lunch time. Classes were barred off and filled with students beating the desks to make riddims.

Who were your influences at a young age?

There are so many: Shabba, Bounty Killa, Beenie Man, Spragga Benz, Terror Fabulous, Daddy Screw, Buju, General Degree, Tiger. There’s too much to list. When I was young I really didn’t have a favourite artist, I just loved a lot of music and all those artists play a part in what I am today.
