Such an Embarrassment

It’s very hard for me to criticize my my lovely country of Saint Lucia, but I must admit that it has to be done once in a while. Exactly one week ago, I was stuck in Barbados, but that didn’t prevent me from showing my disgust. I was actually disgusted by the FILTH which was [...]

What's Wrong With Being Promiscuous?

Really, what’s wrong with being promiscuous? I mean, the worst that could happen is that the female can get pregnant and not know who the baby’s daddy is; or we could just end up becoming infected with syphilis, gonorrhea, herpes, HIV or other life threatening STD’s. Certainly, the PROs of being promiscuous definitely outweigh the [...]

Barack Obama and Derek Walcott

Posted on 11. Nov, 2008 by tamicks in Current Affairs

Right now, I am one of the proudest Saint Lucians out there. According to many media houses, Barack Obama was spotted carrying a book of poems by St. Lucia’s very own Derek Walcott. Also, it is reported that Derek Walcott wrote a poem for Barack Obama, following his victory in the US Elections. President Elect [...]

Although I’m not a US citizen, I have been following the elections very closely, and I did lots of research on the candidates. Both of them have their faults, but in my opinion, Barack Obama is the most suitable candidate. [...]

While visiting Krissy’s blog, I came across her latest post about the McCain/Palin campaign. Supporters are hurling indecent and threatening comments and remarks about Obama, while McCain and Palin just sit by and do/say nothing to correct these people. I think that they should run a clean campaign, and urge their supporters to stop this [...]

Young Mecca – Saint Lucian Talent

Posted on 14. Oct, 2008 by tamicks in Current Affairs

I’ve blogged about artists such as Britney Spears and Coldplay, but today I’m gonna do something a little different. Although these international artists are great and all, I think that it’s time for us Saint Lucians to recognize and support our own. We listen to all genres of music: rock, pop, hip hop, rap, country, [...]

Tattoos | Nicole Richie's Foot Tattoo and Rihanna's Tattoos

Posted on 11. Sep, 2008 by tamicks in Current Affairs

Over the past couple years, tattoos have become the new “permanent accessory”, since so many people (young and old) are getting inked up. Even young female celebrities such as Rihanna and Nicole Richie are sporting their tattoos. I’m dying to get a couple as well, but there’s only one thing stopping me. I am deathly [...]
