Take it easy on him guys you're farting all over his limelight!

Interesting story!

The old saying, “Give someone a fish and you feed them for a day, but teach someone how to fish and you feed them for a lifetime” comes to mind here.

Maybe these ‘lost boys’ are the product of boyz will be boyz mentality. Somali parents give their boys free pass to roam around the streets unsupervised because they're 'boys' and can suposedly take care of themselves.

Originally posted by cynical lady: ....When are Somalis going to accept individual responsibilities? those street warmers and prison dwellers are there because of a life choice, there underachieving out of there own choices am sorry I have no sympathy nor do I think they should be given any if the individual cant realise the privilege that’s been handed to them then its your own dam fault don’t look for an escape goat…… My sentiments exactly!

What's up with the title? Tuujiye adi kaalay wasaq nimadaan maka koreesid miyaa horta horeeto bajaqyahoo. :rolleyes: I think this degrading word needs to be censored by SOL.

Top 7 Questions To Ask To Get The Ball Rolling Towards Your Dreams A lot of people say they need to "get the ball rolling." They know it's necessary in order to get to their dreams, but they don't do it anyway. Are you one of these people? Living your dreams happens in stages, and you can't get there unless you start somewhere. What keeps you from getting the ball rolling? Are you afraid that you can't reach your dreams? Do you believe that you can reach your dreams, but it would take too much time? Have you tried to get the ball rolling, but failed, and are afraid of trying again? Whatever your inner conversation is, it is keeping you from moving forward. True, you do get to play it safe, and you don't have to make any more mistakes, but is that how you want to live your life? So, how do you get started? You push the ball. Pushing the ball takes courage and a belief in yourself. Trust that if the ball hits a tree, goes over a rock, or moves faster than you think it should go, you will be able to handle it. So, what can you do to push the ball towards your dreams? See below to discover how you are standing in your own way: What Are You Saying To Yourself? Do you talk negatively to yourself? Find all the reasons why not? Instead, become aware of what these negative messages are costing you, and stop them before they begin. If you give yourself positive messages instead, over time they will become a routine part of how you think. Do You Love Your Job? Or, do you live for the weekend? If this is the case, then it is time to do something about it. Take action! By sending out just one resume, or making one phone call, you will feel better about your situation. You will no longer be a victim, but a person who is taking control of the situation. This is a more powerful place to be. What Do You Do When You Are Not Working? When was the last time you did something for you that helped get the ball rolling? Everyday you get to choose what you will do in your free time. It is not the other way around. Do You Have People In Your Life That Support You? Are they people that bring you up or drag you down? Bring positive people into your life so they can help you reach your goals, and live your dreams. What Are You Eating? Are you eating healthy? Or, do use food so you don't have to think about what's not working in your life? Have you tried keeping a food diary for just one week? Or, are you afraid what you might see? The first step is to feed your body healthy food so you'll have the energy to keep the ball rolling. Are You Active? Do you exercise on a regular basis? If not, then I ask "Why Not?" There are so many ways to keep fit today that anyone can find something they can do, even if it is just running up and down stairs instead of using the elevator. So get the ball rolling and begin an exercise program today. Who Can Help You Get Out Of Your Own Way? Who do you need to talk to? This could include speaking with the one person who knows someone who can help you. (And, you know who these people are!) Sometimes we don't ask for help because we are afraid that person will say no. Give up this fear, and start speaking to the people you need to speak to today. Go After Your Dreams!

Anyone noticed how good the weather has been lately. We’re talking about 70 F in January!

Speaking of shiisha, I am totally saddened by the smoking ban. All my favorite spots have closed down over nite.

^^Haha get your head out of the gutter heedhe.

^^LOOL! touting your own horn. eh.

This is good news! I don’t discourage spanking as a last resort but some parents and madrasa teachers use extreme force in the name of disciplining unruly kids.

Hall of Fame – No one in the last 20 years. Hall of Shame - Abdullahi Yusuf and all his little stooges .

I wish Monday was part of the weekend.

Now, you probably waste a whole lotta good-fishin' Saturdays readin' yourself the papers, watchin' all the talk on the TV, and sittin' around thinkin' real hard about which way you gonna vote. Well, it's a real shame, then, ain't it, that all that time you spend in real careful considerin' don't count for nothin', once my vote runs y'all's right off the road. Friggin' Hilarious! I couldn't stop laughing reading this.

^^I think any photos will probably do for the moment. We don't have too many pictures of our valleys and mountains heck not even our deserts. We have beautiful country the world needs to know about.

I don't think most people care if you use their connection as long as you're not doing too many upload/downloads and bogging down the network. In which case they may just decide to take few minutes to secure their network.

LOL it's hard watching the video when you're blinded by the beauty of these shades

^^Must you remind me I have another 5 hours :mad:

Today is FRIDAAAAAY!!! w00t w00t

I actually know almost everyone in my building and my next door neighbor will definitely notice if I am missing for more than a day and I didn't tell them I will be out of town. We even exchanged spare keys in case of emergencies or for days like yesterday when I locked my self out in the middle of night. I guess getting to know my neighbors was high priority for me because I live alone and closest family lives too far. But I know how easy it is to live in a place and not even notice who your neighbors are let alone taking the time to get to know them. I was such person before moving here so I suppose it's matter of priority. I certainly don't want to be in my apartment for a week before anyone notices. That would be horrible. Allahuma najinaa
