today my friend/security dude who got fired for parring with me on his break came over today with some beautiful jet bead and silver earrings his sister made for me. gorgeous and I love them
he's from country and having a hard time in Kingston. honestly I am too. I love JA and I love my place but this city? it's all status and class and who you know if you go uptown which is where the money is if you work here now. it's changed a lot in the last few years
he also gave me back the copy of Ellis' American Psycho he borrowed that without the murders articulates what life here in this city is like. Consumerism and the quest for status makes people not be themselves
the book also demonstrates why some people don't understand why other people are aspiring to status goals that do not exist outside this framework
and he played this, my dancehall/reggaeton king going rock. shall redeem him but in truth I really like this track
