    Fitness Freaks

    A good trainning partner can be your greatest asset.I teamed up with a classmate.We go to the school gym on lunch breaks everyday.It is the best way to spend my break in between class instead of hogging down those Philly Cheesteaks and chewing fats on the school hallways..I'm already seeing big changes like taking the stairs instead of the elevator between the clinic and classes buildings...I'm more active and don't fall a sleep easily when I'm studying at night... Some days I work on upper arms (biceps, elbow flexions) while other days back and upper back.I mostly do incline bench press,bent-up flyes with the dumbells, and I run few miles.I just wanna tone my muscles...also getting old gotta keep moving
  8. FML long Day and didn't get Sh!t done...
  9. Ibti, Subway is NOT that bad unless your taste bud is really bad...There is a British show on BBC America called "You are what you Eat" .The dietitian name is Gillian (I think)..she will scorn you for turning down healthy food like Subway! I have my lunch box ready too (though I didn't cook the food-thanks to She-who-must-be-obeyed )
  10. ^ Heh Stick with the 5-dollar deal of subway and you will never need to cook again... PS Time to watch the Chargers/Jets game.Good excuse to get away from the journal reading assignments.......
  11. ^ I have a hot water running in my apartment.I ride a bus to the welfare office every morning.I use the EBT card to shop for grocery...My neighbor is reverend Pat Robertson and I have an American passport and my last name is Arabic...Typical American-Somali-Muslim I am.... I made it...

    Silly Song

    I'm offended...Nacala kugutalaa deeh innaka yaar...Sand-divers are not known to stoop that low
  13. Cara, Classic! I'd have jumped up and down too had I seen a big forehead during launching! I was really intrigued though the other day when I met a young Somali guy (in his 30s) who is a faculty of one of the best (world) and Respected Medical school in the USA....there is still hope Insha-Allah
  14. Do the Right thing...loved how he left the viewers to decide what is the right thing to do when confronted with a race issue..the film reminds me of all the Italian pizzeria in my Philly neighborhood...A movie that is still relevant even today!

    Garissa

    Garissa..hahaa...does Garissa express bus services still in business? I remember taking that bus to Modogashe where I went to boarding school in primary school..I got the best education and survival tips of life from there..I still have extended family members that own busienss in Garissa..good to see the city growing!
  16. Heh..is this dude serious? You have too much time on your hands to worry about a bum on underground train station.Get a life!
  17. You may all say you don't care for now but when reality comes around and an innocent girl wins your heart you will pray that she is from your clan.You will all opt for someone from your clan unless of course Allah cures you from this clannish disease...I hate to discriminate, but I'm already poisoned and it was difficult for me personally to entertain the idea of marrying someone from distant clan! When I was courting my wife first time we never talked about tribe.Walahi I didn't know who she was and what tribe she was from.I will be lying through my teeth though if I said I never cared about the whole Qabil thing.She was an American in every sense completely opposite of me.She came here when she was two years old and she never cared about the whole qabil thing, but me having poisoned in Africa I wanted to make sure I was not dating someone from far clan.I wanted someone that my folks will be comfortable around whenever they come to my house.It was difficult decision to figure what she was and it would have been rude had I asked her straight up what tribe she was from at the beginning.We dated for few months when I finally asked her where her parents grew up.She of course mentioned the capital city Mogadishu a difficult place to pinpoint to a specific tribe.Finally I straight up asked after we were both comfortable around each other....
  18. Yasin Juma is doing a fair and balance report on Somliland.I saw a clip about Somaliland/Puntland boarder dispute that he did and I thought he did a good job! Kenya must have new television stations.Back in my days it was only KBC and KTN...
  19. Heh..Seems like his self-denigration is associated with obsessiveness and psychic energy that is powerful.With the decline of positive trait of Somalis lately I can see why your self-hatred can become endemic, but dude as long as you deny this part of yourself without associating it with others that you are repudiating I think you can knock yourself off! I think there is nothing one can add to your self-hating until it is replaced by sound self -criticism...as for now you can use all the bleaching product on the pharmacy aisle!

    Zaha Hadid

    "The first woman to win the Pritzker Prize for Architecture in its 26 year history, ZAHA HADID (1950-) has defined a radically new approach to architecture by creating buildings, such as the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati, with multiple perspective points and fragmented geometry to evoke the chaos of modern life"

    Goals

    The world we live in is a very complicated place.For someone to form a view of the world as a basis for decisions I think one has to simplify things.I'd try to simplify my goals (as Reality does play a big role in our lives and it is unpredictable) Career: Career: Open my own practice Community Service Teach a class or build a school in Somaliland or even contribute financially (This is my wife dream just playing a supportive role) Creative Improve my hand skills. Education No more schooling time to make the paper! Family Make the wifey download little brats IA Financial Work few years as an associate and open my own place.I hate working for someone.Pay off student loans! Physical I will be in my thirties in the next decade.I have decided to do everyday a cardio...I do thirty minutes on the treadmill everyday now, but I'm looking forward to do more Hobbies and Recreation Both me and the wife love travelling.IA we will do more of this whenever time permits!
  22. Haha Cara, I always step back before I set a foot inside my car.I even stay put for few seconds before I start the car so the jins can leave...I'm always on the look out for the wretched souls.I don't trust old people with greying hair and dry face.At night I don't walk alone if i do all I see is a spurt of fire twisting convulsively over my head out to get me.The silence of my room and any motionless perfection of any objects makes me wanna run away from my own shadow..Why did God choose me to be a sijui .Hahaa J/K
  23. Yesterday I watched an ABC nightline segment entitled “Why Successfull Black Women Find It So Hard To get Married? I was not surprised nor was I oversensitive over the issue as it didn’t affect my background as a Somali (of course I’m black) then I thought about will there be a time when Somali girls will find hard to find a young successful and responsible potentials in the WEST. All too often I have noticed so many Somali sisters firing better than the brothers in terms of education and job security! I hope our Somali sisters when they become successful they will not become unwilling to compromise to settle for the hard working brother who is willing to take care of his family! I posted this video here because I know majority of the people that come to this boards are well rounded people.. Single, Black and female
  24. I bid you all good tidings during this holiday season and may the spirit of the holiday ring in your hearts. May we all be the unselfish and caring human beings!
