Mz-alpha.... thats a nice piece.... very detailed....keep it up One wonders is what nature, Or clay can grow a rose, Of beauty that eyes treasure, And real it looks but worse.

Moti-- Sxb you always have something fun to say! Thats part of the reason why I made you a good friend of mine. Full of crazy ideas. I know a company which hires crazies... their advert says -- " No cold callers, No Time wasters, and strickly No Non-Crazies" ... Hakuu macaato sxb

Flying-Still is this the song?

Good game ma tiri. Flying-still, though I like calling her a flying-star, she has such a beautiful charactor, joyful and very friendly. She is the kind of individual, i feel, one can say represents goodness in humanity.

Guuleedyare, the advice of the poet is a valuable one. I must also say that environment and society dictate what any poet puts down in words as a poem. S/He is like a book that records general feeling felt by the masses, while at the same time centering the poem on the way He/She feels. Afterall, what the poet feels is what the masses feels in general terms. Resonance "I heard a writer once say something along the lines of, 'If u've read it ONCE before, it's a cliche'." I once heard of a great politician who asked a clever slave girl to evaluate his speech. The slave-girl replied " your speech would be nice if you don't repeat its words"... "by the time you repeat yourself, the bulk of the clever men would be bored, the bulk of the fools who didn't hear you first, would say the speech is a cliche'" So i guess what the writer meant is also manifest in the advice of the clever slave-girl.

A doubt doesn't produce any needed knowledge my sister.... Sometimes, when someone might be or is on the verge of discovering new truths, old lies obstruct such a journey. Although what we have here is not necessarily something which can be classed as "a journey to new truths", research and discussion could yield to the discovery of something similar to the truth we seek to establish. So, walaalayaal amba Saaxiibayaal, shall we mistake the complexity or advancement of one's expressional lingo with one's true basic knowledge of a given subject?

STHLM_Lady remember this? Malaika, nakupenda Malaika. (Angel, I love you Angel.) Malaika, nakupenda Malaika. Nami nifanyeje, kijana mwenzio, (What should I do, your lover?) Nashindwa na mali sina, we, (I don't have any money) (LITERALLY: I'm defeated by wealth, I don't have any.) Ningekuoa Malaika. (I would marry you, Angel.) Nashindwa na mali sina, we, Ningekuoa Malaika. Pesa zasumbua roho yangu ([/b]Money is troubling my soul[/b]) Pesa zasumbua roho yangu Nami nifanyeje, kijana mwenzio, Ningekuoa Malaika. Nashindwa na mali sina, we, Ningekuoa Malaika. Kidege, hukuwaza kidege. (Little bird, I always dream of you, little bird,) Kidege, hukuwaza kidege. Nami nifanyeje, kijana mwenzio, Nashindwa na mali sina, we, Ningekuoa kidege. Nashindwa na mali sina, we, Ningekuoa kidege.

LoL PhiL .. don't worry .. I seem to have different tastes, thats all .

_Lady...LoL hehehe yes ofcourse... it went like that .. it was sung by Casha Malika .. and I like the part where she says .. Wanawake ni wajanja wanao - something...something... she talks about how girls like purse full of hella! If you watched Abdo's video, there is this girl who dance to her beats, some say it is her daughtor laakiin ma hubo. Do you know where i can find that song? If you visit www.mwambao.com you will get some taarab songs and beautiful poetry ... some even translated to English. Last but not least, ndombolo? hehehehe I like dombolo when danced to by Redykyulas in his personification to President Moi lol...very very entertaining... I still have a video of Redykyulas .. and everytime I put it on... qosol baan la ooyaa! Don't forget about when Kanda Bongoman visited NBI.. I don't remember the year but I remember how Kenyans became very moved by his .. Indee Monii (money?), tingiza gumba? ... it was all in the clubs and people line dancing ... Especially wakambas lol. When music intervals come they will put some American or even the instrumental Kikuyu or kalenjin...lol those people are very commic. There was this song a friend of mine called 'BoB' (coz he always asked for -- "oi mazee, una 5 Bob?") use to like.. I can only remember some the lyrics ... "YOU MUST CALCULATE *2, CALCULATE *3)...and "sasa hiyo wimbo ndiyo yakukatika kabisa kabisa", Hali ya mtambo ni hivi, na hapa sana" looooooool ......markaan soo xasuusto those guys....man i just laugh unstopable runtii.

Try Mombasa Cha'ka'Cha, or Bongo, Lingala known as zairwa -(Kanda-bongoman) and kuito (quito - afrobeat),... you can even such for Wape wape vdonge vyao..... how about Mwambao Ta'arab? have you thought of belly dancing? Albanian Gypsy? ...Don't forget about Calypso... thats the real deal for you I know. Buju Banton? nah he is too smooth compared to beanie-man or even some reggae of Gregory isack's? ... or I see, you wonna go folk? In that case go afghani... if that is too sattle for you... heavens try Gabriell Omoolo.. if thats not moving enough then go with Baba maal... ...got carried away..... But definately, you will end up jazzing around .... so check our Jazz ... or Slim Ali's Extra smooth Tarab...

"I remember how you told us that the dress code to that wedding was 'diracs'" LoL I remember it too. Habeenkaas adiga, barwaaqo, iyo muna-ba saad u qurux badneydeen hadaad ogaan lahayd diracca winterka xitaa waad ku xaragoon lahayd lol.

The funny thing is when we met him, we were speaking Somali and he kept correcting our Somali grammer lol. Abit embarrassing waaye laakiin it was good to see others speak your language.
