Jamaica Nice .....

Hey Y'all,

So I am in Jam down,Paradise, Caribbean, - Jamaica - whatever you wish to call it, I am on the 3rd largest island in the Caribbean working and chilling with my brother.

My last trip here was in 2005 and I can honestly say that Jamaica has evolved , it has changed , I am working in  the business district of New Kingston , where you will find huge International companies such as IBM , HP to name a few. A full working culture, but the difference is - you are in the sunshine in Jamaica where your home  maybe 5 minutes from your office.

Gone is the stigma that you are no longer safe in Kingston, as in anywhere in the world there is an element of risk for your safety when you travel to a foreign country and therefore as a visitor you need to take due care and attention as you would back home.

I  happily walk the street at 11pm at night and feel quite safe in the area that I  am. However  I  am sure as I  have been warned by my brother that it doesn't apply to all of Jamaica.

I will be keeping you all updated on the changes that I  have observed , as I am half way through my trip .

Matrix & Terminator

Hey there peeps


I came across this story  earlier this week.


It dates back to 2009, but I wanted to share it as I am sure not many people are aware as it wasn't  highlighted as much.....


Original creator of Matrix & Terminator Wins $2.5 Billion in Lawsuit  

After a six year dispute, prolific writer and profound spiritualist, Sophia Stewart has received justice for copyright infringement and racketeering and will finally recover damages from the films, The Matrix I, II and III, as well as The Terminator and its sequels. Yes, you heard that correctly – the entire Matrix & Terminator franchises, and her suspected pay off is expected to be the highest in history – an estimated 2.5 billion.

Her case is a true landmark, and far too uncommon as countless creatives are exploited by the snake-like dealings of the movie industry. Here’s a recap of her triumphant journey by way of George2.0:

“Stewart filed her case in 1999, after viewing the Matrix, which she felt had been based on her manuscript, ‘The Third Eye,’ copyrighted in 1981. In the mid-eighties Stewart had submitted her manuscript to an ad placed by the Wachowski Brothers, requesting new sci-fi works.

According to court documentation, an FBI investigation discovered that more than thirty minutes had been edited from the original film, in an attempt to avoid penalties for copyright infringement. The investigation also stated that ‘credible witnesses employed at Warner Brothers came forward, claiming that the executives and lawyers had full knowledge that the work in question did not belong to the Wachowski Brothers.’ These witnesses claimed to have seen Stewart’s original work and that it had been ‘often used during preparation of the motion pictures.’ The defendants tried, on several occasions, to have Stewart’s case dismissed, without success.

Stewart has confronted skepticism on all sides, much of which comes from Matrix fans, who are strangely loyal to the Wachowski Brothers. One on-line forum, entitled Matrix Explained has an entire section devoted to Stewart. Some who have researched her history and writings are open to her story.”

Although it’s long overdue, and buried in large part by the media machine, Stewart has finally received official credit (and hopefully financial settlement by 2009) for her prodigious contributions to both Hollywood, and the world for her ground breaking sagas, both the Matrix & Terminator franchises. Let us hope that this landmark ruling provides a measure of hope for other ripped off screenwriters seeking justice even if only by way of public recognition.

To echo her 2004 victorious press release:

‘The Matrix & Terminator movie franchises have made world history and have ultimately changed the way people view movies and how Hollywood does business, yet the real truth about the creator and creation of these films continue to elude the masses because the hidden secret of the matter is that these films were created and written by a Black woman…a Black woman named Sophia Stewart. But Hollywood does not want you to know this fact simply because it would change history. Also it would encourage our Black children to realize a dream and that is…nothing is impossible for them to achieve!’

We’d like to believe that the justice she received was not in name only, and she is able to reap the benefits of her enormous creative contributions.

Wow, one of the unsung heroes ......

Until Da next Tyme! 

In Loving Memory of ......

Dear all,


Its been a while since I have written on my blog and this was due to the passing of someone very close and dear to me, a person that I strive to be ,  a person whom I admired for their strength and their patience, a person that I believe to be very wise in their years in this world and who taught me a great deal and made me the person that I am today .

My Mum....... 

I would like to thank all that has sent their support to me , it has been overwhelming and my apologies if I am only just acknowledging your thoughts at this time.

As you can appreciate this process has been very painful. 

My mum was a patient, grounded, thoughtful, caring, religious, happy, funny individual, the list is endless as to how I can describe her.

I am a true testament of her values, as those are the values that has been instilled in me and I will endeavour to carry on her legacy. 

Her beauty and infinite wisdom will  always be something that I will cherish and remember and in years to come these are a few of the attributes that I will hold very dear to me.


 Her strength, determination and tenacity  will always be remembered and I hope that one day I can say that I have  lived my life in such a a way that she would be proud.

"Mum I will always love you !"

Until da next Tyme
