The Father of Reggae Jimmy Cliff Passed Away Today

 The majority of people automatically assume that “Bob Marley” was the musician that introduced the world to reggae/ska music.

Truth be told, it was actually “James Chambers” aka “Jimmy Cliff” who Blessed the world with the introduction.

Sadly, Jimmy Cliff passed away today.

Jimmy was 81 years.

Born 30 July 1944.

Ascended 24 November 2025.

However, his music will be immotal.

A century from now someone somewhere will be listening to “The Harder They Come” or “I Can See Clearly Now”

Personally, my all-time favourite, beyond any doubt, is …

“Rebel In Me”

The lyrics of this classic song totally relate to one of the greatest loves in my life.

That one true love that even though circumstance has sent us down separate paths, the love we share we share still.

The eternal heartache of eternal heartbreak.

Everytime I hear “Rebel In Me” time pauses as memories of Maria flow through my soul like an Angel’s warm caress.

We all have certain songs that go beyond being mere music and become part of the roots of our emotions.

I am Blessed to have a number of Jimmy’s songs that go hand in hand with my deepest emotions.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR MUSIC JIMMY CLIFF.

May you be resting in Paradise!

Court still prohibits marijuana possession

Court still prohibits marijuana possession Shannon Kari, National Post Published: Thursday, December 11, 2008 The prohibition against simple possession of marijuana has been upheld by an Ontario Superior Court judge, in a closely watched case that stemmed from the prosecution of Clifford Long, who was arrested by Toronto police with $40 worth of cannabis. Justice Eva Frank overturned a decision by a lower court judge last year that found there was no valid restriction against possession of cannabis because of flaws with the country's medical marijuana regulations. The lower court decision led to confusion about prosecuting simple possession cases in Ontario, said the federal government in its arguments before Judge Frank earlier this year. The federal Crown argued that the present policies of Health Canada have resulted in enough marijuana for the nearly 2,000 people with medical certificates to possess the drug. Judge Frank agreed with the arguments made by federal government lawy...

LIVE IN THE NOW. FOR NOW

  “ Look up into the Universe and show your perception of your God that you are grateful and humbled for this gift of existence, of life it very self. “ Remember, we are merely mortal and our existence is an ever changing blueprint of the pathway we choose to walk at this moment of our lives. We will face many choices and we walk many pathways   as we wander through this road we call “ life “. “ We are genetically spiritually nomadic. “ Forever seeking the “ why “, “ where ” and “when”, often neglecting the “ here “, “ now ” and “ why not “ The past has left us. The future is yet to arrive. In reality, we live right now. Enjoy the  “now”. Think fondly about the past. Have positive hope for tomorrow. And ……….. “ LIVE ” in the now Before it fades I nto the past. (LDV 06/29/2025) “Positivity is Cancer’s nemesis.”

“The Rise Of America’s Ursprünglich Reich”.

  Musk is dangerous and is definitely a “ wolf in sheep’s clothing “. Elon “ Teslaboy ” Musk His warped intelligence and well known use of ketamine has enabled him to turn his greatest fan,  Donald J. Trump , into his personal political puppet. Trump believes that he is controlling Musk. However it is quite the contrary! DICTATOR DONALD  TRUMP Trump is blinded by Musk’s wealth. He believes that by befriending him he will reach the same level of riches. I strongly doubt that will ever be a reality. Yes, Trump is often referred to as a “ brilliant ” businessman. But is he really? Trump’s riches come from a very long list of bankruptcies and shifty business transactions. He is well known for simply refusing to pay his debts. He also owes numerous Russian Oligarchs billions of dollars for failed Trump Tower projects. Including the shady Moscow Towers project and the Trump Towers Toronto. The latter which was bankrupt before completion. Which lead to Trump obtaining financing ...
