For those who saw it, my very first post was an introduction. More to the blog than me. So now that I actually have people reading this thing .. I'd like to introduce myself properly..
Hi, I am Island Spice [*hello Island Spice* say the blogaholics anonymous], I was born in the Spice Island, Grenada, to a Jamaican mother and a Trinidadian father. I am a mix of most of everything except Chinese. [Injections pending]. I have lived in Jamaica, Trinidad, England, Italy, Grenada and St. Kitts. I have no real abiding city right now because of my work but I am considering staying awhile in Port-Of-Spain. I am also pondering moving to London, Hong Kong or Dubai so we will see..
So I started this blog on the spurring of some friends who think my dating career is hilarious, horrific and generally entertaining. I reviewed what I have written over the past month or so and it seems stiff and disjointed. I know I aint in my groove yet folks but stick with me, I hope to get there.. eventually! Now that I am writing more, I feel like talking about things other than just the men I date ... so I intend to stray..
Part of my work is Tourism and besides it being my job, I am truely fascinated by the beauty, life and happenings in the Caribbean. So I will write about that too. According to one of my ex's, I have an opinion and a story about every blasted thing! If anyone has ideas, questions or polite criticisms feel free to send them to islandspiceblogger@gmail.com . I still don't plan to get into major political discourse [other than to encourage everyone to vote!] because I really do too much of that at work. This is my escape ...
Thanks for sharing in my world! Cybermartini's all around!
Cheers!

So U speak Italian, Island Spice. That's kinda cool; ah do luv an Italian accent.
Actually Melody, I don't speak Italian. I should learn eh? I do love the accent! but I think ours is sweeeter..
Well nice to meet you Spice. I like what you doing so far with your blog. To properly introduce myself:
I'm from Kingston, Jamaica and am currently going to law school in Milwaukee. Before that I spent 4 years in Minneapolis.
With dating, I sure have had plenty drama and have been the "fool in love", "the player", "the shy guy", "the insensitive guy" but because my blog is not so anonymous I rarely delve into my dating life.
Instead on occasion I share my poems - one day I want to publish books of poetry and of fiction.
I talk about light occurrences in my life related to school and going out.
I also talk about politics, current affairs and a number of other broad general topics.
I don't think you should be having cybermartinis so early in the morning . You don't want to end up like madbull.
I dont understand how u people get so many comments and i dont! i am so taking down my blog cause its not like anybody reads it anyway.
Good to meet ya Marc! I look forward to your first book .. I hope Krazy Frog is not a central character. :) but now that I know u in law school I can relate to the dementia.
Owen, I see u were up early. Yep I am guilty of blogging under the influence of martinis - cyber and real. Its a holiday weekend.. join me!
Welcome Teenage Perfectionist! Your blog is not showing up in your profile. That may be the problem. Sound like u need a cybertini too..
You live in one of my favorite parts of the world. I love the beauty of the Caribbean, the people, the food, the sweet velvety air that smells like gardenia.
And I look forward to reading more of your posts because you have things to say and say them well.
Pleased to meet you, darling.
Nice to meet you properly ;) I look forward to reading about the other things you think about apart from men. I have been enjoying those posts though.
Nice to meet you Ms. Spice. Love the blog so far so just keep the writing flowing.
Teenage P, I have been trying to check your blog but it isn't listed ... are you sure you haven't already deleted it???
Respect, Island Spice. Actually, I haven't found your writing stiff or disjointed at all, so I wait with bated breath on your better stuff!!! It suppose to be wicked! I'll link you to some info on I'n'!... go here... Perhaps you should right-click on the link and select for it to be opened in another window...
Nice to meet'cha, Ms. Spice...

*holds out hand* nice to meet you, girl. I can't wait to hear more of your life. Bring it on...
I like this post to "properly introduce yourself" ...its almost like a commercial between posts, the behind-the-scenes hehehe
Keep it up, maybe u'll find a nice fella on here lol
