Jamaal_11, you couldn't be more wrong about love... But it is totally understandable, cuz when you say: Love between a girl and a boy is an emotional torment and sometimes it can be used as a tool to hurt. I guess you are talking about luv between a BOY and a GIRL... NOT a MAN and a WOMAN... I always tell ppl that "Qofka jaceyl mayaqaan, ilaa uu wax jeclaado"... And besides why is it that when ppl have one bad experience with luv, they just give up... Or say negative things about luv, or ppl who are in luv... The best way to look at is, if you fell a course, do you just drop that course and give up... Or you try it again and again until you pass... My point exactely... It's up to the individual to make the best out of luv, or the worst... If it gets little soure, take a step back... But don't give up... For every FAARAX, there's a XALIIMO out there for you... and vise versa... Be positive... But the most important thing is TO LOVE YOURSELF UNCONDITIONALLY... If you luv yourself, you'll have no problem loving someone...Holla...

R_C, emotional wreck aaaa, warka isiibo walashiis...lol I'll kick the a$$, of anyone trying to wreck your emotions,hon... You know Kool_Kat got your back... MMA, great to you... Rumor has it you got married... I can't believe in aad xalwada iga qarsatay, anoo Toronto kula joogo... It's all good though, congrats... Shyhem, odayada waxey kuhadlaan hanoola imaanin yaaqoo adi... Marriage should be based on love, understanding, and caring... Mostly one has to be happy with the other, in order to get any relationship to work... So, maskaxda fur walaalo, naga dhaaf naagta waaye in ay saan iyo saas suubiso... Relationship is a two way street, I'll let you figure out the rest... Canbaro_Luul, I guess you can say I had one too many relatioships...lol I am a fast learner, so I learned my lessons in love, loss, and relationships...lollllllllllll

I don't know if this is gonna be of any help... But you can get him: -a gift certificate from his fav store -a bottle of his fav perfume -one of those expensive pens (well they cost about $20, which is not really expensive) with his initials -a pair of designer socks, ok may be 3 pairs -a leather wallet Hey that's my list for a guy friend... Shoes and cloths are little bit more for a boyfriend...Holla...

Ohh, make them pay for the two damn seats... If they're gonna take up two seats, then they should pay for to... Or build new air planes for overweight ppl...lol

Canbaro_Luul, good to see you again sis... I would never ever sacrifies anything for any man, if he IS NOT WILLING to do the same for me... I would never marry a man if I am not in LOVE with him... That's the rest of my life, I wouldn't want to spend it with someone I don't love... I think that's just common sense... If I love him so much and he doesn't feel the same about me... I guess I'll have to learn to let him go, and find the one who'll appreciate the love I have to give... I believe happiness is the key to any marriage or relationship... If one of you isn't happy, there isn't much to look forward to in the future... And the only future you'll have will be a dark one... Ok that's my input in this...Holla...

Runaway^V, I believe a woman is only judged by the way she carries herself... So, if you give them the reason to look/check you out in a certain way, then of course that's the way they'll look at you... I am not sure the guys around the area you live, but down here it's fair to say, they'll show you some respect when asking your name... Specially if they're interested in you... Like Shyhem said: There are only four guys interested in looking at u'r face. 1-ur father 2-ur brother 3-a gay guy 4-a guy on Viagra So if he ain't your dad, brother, or gay, and you are good looking, girlfriend he'll check you out... I just find it very silly to reply "Sorry I have a man" OR "Sorry I am not interested"... When he's simply asking for your name... Give him a fake one and move on... No harm in that...

I don't mean to be negative, but they have protested all over the world already... And did BUSH listened? HELL NOOOOO!!! He's after the oil, and ain't nothing or noone can stop him from the war against IRAQ... ALLAHA NAGA QABTO, waxan waa xoolo, nacas ah... Goodness!!! I would protest, but I am not in school... and when they did it here in Toronto, I tried to go there, but was stuck in traffic for 2hrs... So I just came back home...

VERY TOUCHY INDEED... GREAT POEM... AND OHH YEAH, WELCOME TO THE NOMAD FAMILY...

DEEQA, I don't know if your real name is Deeqa, but they said the excat samething about my name... And IT AIN'T even Deeqa... ohh well...

Da-Beast, Agreed with everything you said, until you said: ever heard a somali man failing to be a responsible of his own actions meaning we won't get you pregnant then say the baby isn't mine? ever heard a somali man molesting his own children?ever heard a somali man gettin' his girlfriend drunk then raping her?ever heard a somali guy having a babies out of wedlock?ever heard of somali guy beating up his partner? so ladies don't you think you're underrating us when you say all of us are losers or good for nothing? And to answer your q's... HELL YEAH... I have seen them all... Specially nowadayz... I believe everyone is different in their own way... And we just gotta take THE GOOD WITH THE BAD... Yes there are very good, hard working, honest Somali men, there's no way of denying that... But we only hear the bad situations or expereinces with men... I support our men, and love them... Though, we might have some that aren't so good, I wouldn't trade them for anything... SOMALI MEN, more power to you... Much luv...

Majdi, i agree with you to a certain extend... Almost every woman thinks, if a guy asks her name that he's after her for something... And that's why used to give a fake name, just to find out what he wants... If it is just cuz, and we later become friends, cool... He'll find out my real name along the way to the friendship... He's after something else, and I ain't interested, no reason for him to know my real name... It is alwayz better that way...At least for me... Like I said in my previous post... How could you say, sorry I have a man, or sorry I am not interested, without knowing what he wants... Don't you think it is kinda "stupid" if asked, "What's your name" to reply "Sorry not interested"... I sure think that is very Stupid... Sorry...

woow, too much info, maskaxdaa idaashay... lol

Aight, let me be different... And list what I don't want in my IDEAL MAN: -No shiir -No af uraayo -No cidiyo wasaq/dhaadheer -Short, fat and ugly (very bad combo) -Too may friends -No hanging out at donut shops -Disrespectful, dishonest, and selfish -No sense of Fashion -Ilko dhaadheer (sorry, keep your teeth to yourself) My list is too long, so let me just stop here... If the guy possess any of the above mentioned qualities, HE GOTS TO GO... NOT MY TYPE, at least not in this life time... :eek:

I believe Somali teenagers are almost the same, no matter where they are in the world... The way I see it is like "Dawacadii socodkeeda ka tagtay, tii nabigana gaari wayday"... I am not saying they are all the same, ofcourse, there are those who are still in school, have part time jobs, spend time with their family... BUT, those ones are very limited, compare to the Somali teen population... I wouldn't blame so much on the parents, as the parents themselves have limited power... I am sure no parent in his/her right mind would want her son/daughter to be out of school, job, smoke, drink, etc... I see a lot of parents here in Canada, complaining all the time... Or my moms friends coming over and saying "Naa ma maqashay tii ina heblo ahey in a uur leedahay, uusana nin qabin" Or "Kii ina hebel ahaa gabar buu uureeyay"... People make mistakes, I just hope our teen can learn from their mistakes... And do better in life... Drinking, doing drugs, getting pregnant at such a young age, being out of school, stealing cars, getting in to fights... AIN'T THE WAY OF LIFE... GOOD LUCK TO EACH AND EVERY TEEN...

First let me Welcome you to the Nomad Family... Glad you joined us... WELCOME........ Now, one of the reason I used to give a fake name is that when approached and was asked my name... I couldn't say "Sorry I am not interested"... That will sound so stupid... So simply give him a fake name, so he can get out of my face/way... No harm in that... But I retired from those games...

Huunooy dheeridaayeey, London maa ku nooleed... Ameenah, that is my fav somali song... Walaahay, each and everytime I hear that song, waan jiriricoodaa... Ok let me see if I can add more to my list... -Ain't too proud to Begg-by TLC -Mezmorise- By Ja Rule feat Ashanti -Indha Deeraleey-Cumar Dhule (I am not sure if that is correct) -Majiifsado- by Sado Cali

Ppl might not like my HONESTY, but I don't care... I am just beautiful the way I am, on the inside, as I am on the outside...

R_C, adoo balaayadaas radineysid aa iigu kaa dambeysee, ma heshey!!!lolllllllllllllllll

R_C, must you remind me the damn thing called "SNOW"... YUK... Wili waan iska jaf jafooyaa, lugahan iskalsooyin aa ii gu jiro (Sadex xabo)...lol LST, why must you jump to conclusions... Of course, I missed you... That's in a brotherly way, ofcourse... Great to have everyone back and excited...

Ok, this is my fav quotes from my mom... -When she feels disrispected... "this is A Canada, waaye miyaa waxa saan loo suubinaatyo" -When she is fed up... "Alla yaa ticket ii gooyo, kuwaan arageyga ee ku diimi lahaayeen" -When she is mildly upset... "Markaan adi kule ekaa caruur iyo guri baan lahaa, maxaa isu caruureeneysaa" -When she's moderately upset... "Ciisaa bidiini, wa muusaa bidiini"... I think that's the cutest one... -When she's extremely upset... "Ani waa yaabee kuwaan feelalkood ilaah maka dhumay, inkaarkasto intee ka martaa"... Ok, enough about my momma, I love her to death... The famous quote of my Stepdad... "Maaladukaato waryaa"...

Ohh, I almost forgot... Should we throw a "WELCOME BACK PARTY?"...lol Hayehee, lacag ha la'iska soo aruuriyo... Ama qofkasto halagu qoro wax uu keeno... Holla...

Alla, maxaa la'is waalaa aduunkaan... Bal waakan wuxuu iyir markaan ku qoray magaceyga... Keep in mind that most of it is BS... MY NAME...creates an intense desire for association with people and new experiences, many of which have been rather bitter. This name has given you a gregarious personality and a quick-thinking, creative, and versatile nature , but one that is unstable emotionally. You desire change and travel and would enjoy opportunities that allowed you to be creative and to act independently, rather than to conform to system and routine. However, this name does not allow you to complete your undertakings, as farther fields always look greener. Although you may appear confident and positive, you actually lack confidence and feel self-conscious at times. This name spoils patience and depth of thought, and weakens your stand in matters of principle. You are too open to suggestion, and thus you could become involved in detrimental associations which could lead you into by-paths of thrill-seeking or emotional indulgence. Any weakness in your health would appear in the fluid functions as kidney, bladder, or circulatory problems. or in a sensitivity affecting your stomach... So far only the highlighted part is true about who I am or my Name... Interesting site though...

I am the only SNAKE in here... Damn, am I really that old? I don't know what it is but I try to stay as young as possible, but these damnnnnn years just keep on rolling by one after another... I should say "Alhamdulilah"... But damn, I am hitting the big 26 in just months... I don't know may be I should fail myself and stay 25 for a couple of years... Anyway, here's a little something about Snakes... "Diplomatic and popular, the Snake has the sensual art of seduction down. This Sign is an interesting mix of gregariousness paired with introversion, intuitive reasoning paired with savvy business skills. Snakes are considered to be lucky with money and will generally have more than enough to live life to the fullest, regardless of how important it considers money to be; this may be due to the fact that Snakes tend to be rather tight with cash. They're not stingy, they're simply more mentally than physically active. Snakes tend to hang back a bit in order to analyze a situation before jumping into it. Their charming, seductive quality actually belies a rather retiring nature; this Sign is perfectly happy to spend the whole day curled up with a good book and, thus, can be mislabeled as being lazy."

IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME!!!lol... War maxaa saan la'isugu galaa... This is my second home, you know... If it is down, where do I go... Definately not Som********.com... Great to see the site up and running... I love the new look and features too... Keep up the good work... MISSED Y'ALL NOMADS... WELCOME BACK EVERYONE... AND LET'S MAKE THE BEST OUT OF THIS... :cool: [ February 26, 2003, 08:05 AM: Message edited by: Admin ]
