i arrived home from jamaica last night at around 12:30, it was fun, played some pool volleyball, beach volleyball, that was fun, i went scuba diving every morning, it was amazing, so many fish down there, they were the coolest looking thing, there was some sick coral too, so many different colors, i took some, there were sharks, lobsters, eels, crabs, puffer fish, amazing, one of the days, skin (the scuba instructor dude) took us down to a wreck, we saw a sunken ship, and two sunken planes, it was the coolest thing, we looked at the boat for a while before going over to the planes, we even got to go through one of them, some ppl were scared, but i was the first one to go through, it was so cool, scuba diving is the coolest thing, my friend james came down thurday and we went diving friday and we were fighting 70 feet under water, it was cool, that is also the day my regulator(thing i breathe through) didnt work, everytime i breathe in, a shit load of salt water got in, i didnt feel like complaining to the instructor b.c we would have either A) done nothing, or B) gone up to the surface, so i just didnt tell him, salt water is nasty, neways, there were a bunch of teens there, i was one of the oldest teens there, it was wierd, cuz im never the oldest, there was a kid who was a freshman football player for miami, and a junior in the navy, other than that, a lot of 8, 9, and 10th graders, a couple of times we went out on this water trampoline and me and the teen coordinator dave through everyone off, it was fun, i played the scientist on piano at some talent show thing cuz no one else would do nething, plus the jamaican drummer and bassist played, so that was cool, hmmm, great food and lots of it, free drinks all day at the bar, so yeah, it was fun, met a lot of jamaican dudes, they were cool, skin, gervase, andrew, olando, roger, ron, dale, dave, romeo, and a bunch of other cool jamaican guys, plus there cuz cameron, hes white and british, he cetified me last year to suba dive, hes really cool, cant even remember all their names, they were cool, neways, i also learned some jamaican lessons
1) you can tell a regular black guy from a jamican cuz the jamaican always has the bloodshot eyes
2) if the speed limit sign says 40 kmh, it really means 70 kmh, unless you are passing somebody, then it means 80 kmh
3) if you cant understand a jamaican, always say...yeah mon, respect...and give him a pound
4) no worries mon, lol, thats cuz theyre all high
neways, let me explain these, jamaicans are always high, we went rafting and we saw the bus drivers sitting in their buses waiting for us to get back with rolls as thick as a quarter, and at night, all the bartenders smoked and you could smell it so bad, it was funny, one of the bartenders was excited and he exclaimed to us how he was going up stairs, he was like, weeeeeeeeeee im going up stairs...we all laughed on the bus to jamaican, the roads are really bumpy and they go 70 kph when they slow down, i dunno what that is in miles per hour, but its freakin fast, there are only two lanes, so if the person in front of you is goin slow, they drive in the other lane and speed up, while watching out for oncoming traffic, wow, it was scary...but exciting, its like healthy road rage cuz ppl keep going faster and faster to cut each other off, but its legal half the jamaicans down there talk and neone can understand them, so instead of asking them to repeat 10 times, you say yeah mon, dodesnt matter, just agree, although it isnt safe wen goin scuba divin cuz they go over safety procedures, but w/e well i dunno what to write, thats my trip, ill see you all later, happy 4th
