If you're a long-time reader, you know that we were sold on this book by the title alone — but it's not exactly what you'd think. Instead of focusing solely on The Big Lebowski, Cathleen Falsani's The Dude Abides ($10) is an exploration intro to the existential questions raised by the entire Coen brothers catalogue, from Blood Simple to A Serious Man. Whether it's death, life, love, truth, or evil, there's a Coen film that touches on it, and not always in the way you'd expect.

Video of Young Money & Cash Money on their European tour. In the video you see them making stops at Amsterdam & London where you see them stop by a few coffee shops and get some goood kush, including some OG Kush and some Cheese. Also In the videos you see what they like to spend their money on private jets, black diamonds and balling ass hotel rooms.

WHAT five years has taught me:

1. White people who live in the ghetto are apparently either: (i) NGO workers (ii) crazy (iii) 'wutless' or (iv) German roots reggae singers.

2. The photograph? My friends said if I didn't pose like this they'd lie to other people on the beach that I called them the n-word. That rasta headband is not mine. Honestly.

3. Occasionally I get mistaken as a member of one of Jamaica's big name families. But, like everybody else, I just work for them.

4. People twang at me only in an American accent. What about British or maybe a German?

5. The organisers of community boxing event, Thursday Night at the Fights, wanted me to be their ring announcer/referee: tux, thick-rimmed glasses and Michael Caine accent.

6. It's an unusual white who walks in Jamaica. I used to ride the #74 and #76 JUTC buses to work. But that meant I also had to walk a few hundred metres to the bus stop in Barbican Square.

7. White Jamaicans have told me some borderline racist stuff. Maybe they'd say more except I seem suspicious – after all they don't do buses. Read The Dead Yard for more on that.

8. Frequent question: are my family against interracial dating? Honestly, my family are just happy to have me a transatlantic flight far away. Being as close as Western Union, however, remains for them an unfortunate reminder.

9. Social guilt: a friend from downtown quipped that the gully network is a sad metaphor for Kingston society – whereby uptown's waste flows downtown.

10. Was warming up before a football match (without the ball). Overhead the other side making concerned comparisons with Steven Gerrard. One touch into the game: "Cho is alright... a Peter Crouch that!"
