The 6 secrets to the Jamaican Way of Life

It is not uncommon to hear about dementia and cancer in the states. As a matter f fat it almost seems like a given after you get to a certain age to expect dementia.  The cancer has yet to pick a certain age, as all sorts of people at all sorts of ages are dying from this thing.

I was talking to a friend of mine just the other day and it just seems uncanny the rate of cancer deaths now. We recounted that when we were little children this thing was almost unheard of.

We concluded that there is something the authorities are putting in the air or in the water that we drink why the masses are suddenly dying from cancer.

Nevertheless the Jamaican has a thing or two working for him that hopefully they will never get rid of

#1Sunlight

Although it seems like a curse, the Jamaican sun in its plenteous supply is actually what keeps the jamaican so thin. He does not need to build up that extra fat to keep him warm in the winter months. 

#2 Laid back way of life

#3 Unity in diversity

#4 The tropical landscape 

#5 The close proximity and availability of beaches

#6 The jamaican musical vibe

No more board games in Jamaica

As technology steadily advances and takes over most aspects of our daily lives, it is not surprising that the entertainment of our childhood is slowly disappearing. The games we used to play outside or gather around a physical table to enjoy with family and friends are quickly being replaced by screen time and digital interactions. 

However, it is important to highlight the value of preserving these old games and passing them down to future generations.

Card games like Crazy Eights, Go Fish, and Old Maid may seem insignificant to some, but they hold a special place in the hearts of those who grew up playing them. These games not only provided a source of entertainment but also helped develop cognitive skills like memory, strategy, and social interaction. 

While new games may offer more advanced graphics and online multiplayer options, there is something special about gathering with loved ones and sharing physical components such as cards, dice, and game boards. In fact, these old games can offer a break from the constant screen time and bring people together in a unique and meaningful way.

It is essential to make an effort to preserve these games and introduce them to younger generations. Parents and grandparents can take the lead in passing down these traditions and sharing the memories and stories that come with them. We should not let these games fade into oblivion and be forgotten by future generations.

Thankfully, this blog exists to help keep the memories of these games alive. However it is by documenting the rules and histories behind ancient games like Senet, Mancala, and Nine Men's Morris, that we can learn more about the culture and lifestyle of people in different time periods and parts of the world. These games offer not only entertainment but also a glimpse into the history and tradition of the people of yesteryear.

In conclusion, let us not forget the value of old games. If not for the memories they have created, let's do it for the social skills they provide. By introducing these games to younger generations, we can ensure that they are not lost to the digital age. So, let's unplug from technology and gather around a table with friends and family to enjoy a game of Crazy Eights or Scrabble – you may be surprised at how much fun it can be!

Games played in Jamaica no nobody talks about

 I thought I would been the only onw brave enough to mention this game, but it turns out it is all over the internet. There is great details about how the game is played as well.

So I don't think there is any need for me to mention it here.

For the curious mind I am talking about the game "Purple touch."

Now that I think about it, it must have been some older person than the children that used to play that originated this game. There were pedophiles back in the day but there were not as condemned as they are now.

I wonder if there are other crimes that were committed by adults but were passed to us children as games.
