Bin Laden is not dead. The mission to kill him is dead. I won't be surprised if he records another tape with word like "I live in America now" or FBI press releases with the title "Bin Laden is being saught in Detroit".

Saaxiib, enjoy it.

Why aren't Jaber and Unix dropping their FATWAS on this. My fatwa is that you can't have MEHER if you already had sex. Many Ulamaas hold that view with a proof from the Koran and Hadith. Please don't ask me the proof now because I will run away if you do so. I don't know shit yet, but knowing myself, I can do a mad research and drop my final FATWA anytime....that is if you ask me for a proof...if not....my FATWA stands.

Last Tuesday, I had a converstation with a sista I met at the gas station. Just 15 minutes into our converstaion, we were teasing each other when I suddenly got her attention with one simple quesion: Why are the most "cute-faced" Somali sistas alway over-weight? Boy, did I get a deep lecture from Kuluco (that was her real name) ...this is what she had to say ... "I can tell you right now that being chubby (alright, I'll say it...'fat') is not necessarily a hindrance. As you can see, I'm 5'6', about 230lbs, well-proportioned, well-shaped. I certainly don't spend my nights all alone, crying into my coffee. I have male friends, dates, etc. More than my thin friends. It all boils down to personality and confidence - and hell yeah, good looks. If you're thin and ugly, you're just ugly. If you're fat and pretty, hey - you've still got that pretty thing going for you. If you're ugly on the inside, you'll be unattractive to people on the outside. My friends stand to the side, twisting their fingers, so scared, so frightened and insecure that they can't even start a conversation with a man. I'd MUCH rather be in my size 18 pants and be able to laugh and have a great time, meet attractive Somali brothers and date them than to be a size 2 and too meek and mild to even talk to that cute guy in the elevator. This is what women don't want to hear. Your value and beauty doesn't depend on if your thighs rub together when you walk. Don't let yourself be manipulated with that b.s. As far as what you Somali men think, not all Somali men like skinny girls. It all comes down to personal preference. P.S. I'm in much better health (cholesterol, blood pressure, general well being) than nearly all the people I know." I would say Kuluco was the most confident sister I have ever seen. Now, the question is....Boyz, what is your preference? Do you like thin sisters or the not-so-skinny ones. I certainly love Skinny, dying nomad queens. booty would be nice and some nice xabxabs but not necessary.

Oh boy, don't we love women????????? Oakland, Calif.-- A man has been arrested and accused of creeping into homes and fondling women's feet--once even using a black pen to color a victim's toenails while she slept. Police arrested Arnold James Collins, 24, shortly before midnight Monday after a woman reported a man had tried to get through her kitchen window. Collins was paroled a month ago for similar offenses. Collins was jailed on five counts of burglary. He is suspected in break-ins at 10 or 11 homes during the past month, police said. 'He had been chased several times by husbands and boyfriends, but nobody caught him,' Detective David Delair said. A few windows were broken, but no one was hurt and nothing was stolen. 'He never did anything more than touch, caress and fondle the feet of women,' Sgt. Terry Boess said.

Aight boyz, we all have our reasons. Some of us say commitment quickly turns into complacency, boring stability, & restrictive policy. Others say, commitment is not paradise, it is work ... men know when they are not ready to take on another job ... One extreme group even goes further than that and says there is no need to sign a lease if they believe they will meet their dream woman next week. Whatever the case is, what is your reason for avoiding a commitment. All comments are appreciated

I completely agree with the one and only LadyFatima Communication...communication...communication...

Promise that you would understand this senario and get the most out of it. We nomads are always here to help. Love is governed by three forces. 1. PASSION (that sexual attraction that makes you wanna say....uuuuh. You see him walk by and you shake....that force is called passion.) 2. Intimacy (The close bond between you two partners. Things like sharing secrets, stories, understanding, clicking with each other, having jokes, being around each other, having sex, kissing each other, you know...) 3. Commitment (Commitment is very important in any relationship. Without it, nothing will ever work for you....I mean...if you still have the Somali values....Every nomad queen wants commitment. FOR BETTER or FOR WORSE....Arooskeena aaamiiin....arooskeena aaamiin.) Now, think of what is important to you. Which combination of these three forces is acceptable to you? you can have (assuming that if one force is low in power, it is completly missing) (passion, commitment) ... being married to a good looking guy that you don't click with. You guys don't undestand each other at all. The habit of arguing with each other all the time. (passion, intimacy) ... Going out with a good looking guy that you understand very well, but somehow he doesn't want to get married or something. The commitment that you Somali queen want is missing. This is bad according to our culture. Naa orodoo ninka guurso meelaha ha la warwareegine. (commitment, intimacy) ... this is the case for many Somali families specially the traditional nomads. Convenience marriages. It works most of the time. You raise kids very well and life is good. It is sometimes called the Controlled-Hormones marriage. Hooyooyinkeen and Aaboyaasheen probably went through this back home. (passion, intimacy, commitment) ... this is true love. It is very rare. Don't fool yourself. It is hard to have the three together in marriages. (passion only) ... well, just having sex with a daamn looking guy. (intimacy only) ...Best senario is friendship. He is your best friend. (commitment only) ... Best senario is being married to an old geezer your dad hooked you up with. You don't understand him and you are not attaracted to him. Now, think of what you want out of life. Be realistic and set goal that you can only achieve. You don't want to be dissapointed later. I gotta pick up my little sister from Dugsi quraan. Hope this helps.

Inadeer, did you know that you can learn to love him if you try. No need in chasing somebody who doesn't appreciate you. For me, it is probably an ego thing, but you should never chase anyone unless you desperacy takes over your thinking process.

Baydan, I will not let you do that to our kids. Idil????????? Let us just say, Butaaco would be the first one and Kuluco would be the second choice. [This message has been edited by Libaax-Sankataabte (edited 01-16-2002).]

What better name than "Geello". That is one of the tightest names that you could give your daughter. [This message has been edited by Libaax-Sankataabte (edited 01-13-2002).]

Of course there are lions in Buuhoodle. I just came from there. LadyFatima went there on a peace time when there was a big truce between men and lions. Now it is like a war there. Not only are lions massacring simple unsuspecting nomads, they are dictating how things should be run in Buuhoodle. It is a fight that we nomads must win. And we will inshalah....loool

It looks like the United States has opened up a Dachau type Concentration Camp at Guantanomo Bay in Cuba to imprison without trial muslims. No doubt there will be torture used. Sad to think America is becoming more and more like Nazi Germany every day. Not just because of what they are doing to the Afghanistan prisoners of war in complete violation of the Geneva Conventions, but more importantly what the US Government is doing to its own citizens with the virtual abolition of many civil liberties.

Here is my theory on why some some brothers become "jerks" to our queens: Contrary to what some Somali girls think, nomad men are mostly interested in successful relationships at first. Most Somali men will never pass up the chance to date an african princess. In fact, when a brother does encounter this rarity of a woman, his passion gets the better of him. The thoughts that race through his mind are something along the lines of, 'This woman is a queen. I'm going to treat her right and do all I can to make her happy.' The problem starts when the brother, specially if he is a neophite, starts to become the boring, predictable guy. The excitement of the seduction process begins to fade for her because she has what she wants and doesn't have to do any chasing. Eventually the nomad queen starts losing interest and before you know it, her eyes start to wander. The man she previously considered to be the stud in town suddenly looks some kind of a declasse weirdo to her. In other words, he is more jajune than anyone she has ever seen. lol Notice how the brother didn't even change at all. The real odyssey comes the minute after the brother notices her lack of interest towards him. Aaaha....Instead of trying to play his game right (stay calm, act like you aren't concerned much), the brother starts to over-react as he tries to hold on to his queen. In the process, he shows extreme lack of confidence and this is when it becomes a death trap! This is when things turn around very quickly. What is next? The next stage is for her to look for a new fella who will bring excitement back into her life by being the 'new and improved' challenge. Pursuit and excitement usually stem from selfish attitudes, much like the bad boy who doesn't care about anyone but himself. It is never a fair game. Eventually, the brother will be left heartbroken and will start wondering what in the world he did wrong. It's at this point that the brother begins to think that most Somali women generally don't know what they want. Evidently, he starts to judge all the queens. The conclusion of the aforementioned scenario? The birth of the "jerk" persona. The simple, caring nomad is resurrected into a "Mr. Jerk". He then starts to dog any queen ... from the most callow, to the highly sophisticated. The momentum has clearly shifted. lol

Eyo, El~nino that was a masterpiece. Good one dowg.

I've noticed a new trend in women's ads lately. They're quoting dress size for their height - weight proportionality. Not only are they speaking in a foriegn language to nomad men, but the metric itself is even less meaningful than weight. Weight is not a great predictor of shape either, as we nomad men are familiar with. From consumers point of view, there are many girls who love clothing brands that purposely use smaller numbers for their sizes. I don't mind "healthy" weight on my woman, but I do grimace at yin style misdirection by advertisers and manufacturers. Weigh this and adjust accordingly.

Since the people of buuhoodle have been good to me, I figured that I would think of something beneficial for them. To prevent lions from attacking their beloved camels or even unsuspecting nomads, catch them all, insert a transmitter under their skin so whenever the lions get within a mile to the stock it transmits a signal to a cellular ear piece that the top nomad (Camel keeper) can hear... expensive, and hard to implement, but a good idea none the less, the impracticality of it is why i'm giving it away in the public domain, as a good will gesture for 2002.

Pay for everything???????????? Oh my god, Baarliin, you sound like another GOLD DIGGER. Sista, I don't even know you, why should I pay for everyting on the first date. You should bring your own money on the first date. You have to earn it for me to pay for everything. See, when you really become my woman, I don't mind you having the right to my pocket. FIRST DATE is FIRST DATE...I would be broke by now if I paid for every first date. Daamn, you Somali girls are taking this to another level. Love you Baarliin. I hope you didn't get offended.
