lol @ doing the dog... good to hear weird Canadian slang being used...hah -sigh- I heard the English version of the Joke and I didn't think that was funny... and the Somali one is 3 sub notches below not funny... just weird. I don't know many typical Somali mothers diaspora or not that would do that.

I think affects everyone that can be put into the "of colour" category. However I have never experienced anything like he has, mine were small incidents and for the most part on a verbal scale.

I had the most stressfull day at work yesterday that I went home and went to sleep....and just woke up....processing time

Masha Allah what a beautiful girl .... ummm Imaan maybe

I m addicted to this blog. I check it once a week and 10% of the posts make me cry post secret

It's very beautiful, but I like mountain ranges and greenary. And great whites don't attack humans as much as bull sharks do. And bull sharks are ocean and fresh water sharks. So they are way more of a threat.

Here's a couple of Canadian sayings that I think are weird especally this one: Your friend calls you on the phone asks what your doing. The reply in a lot of rural Canadian towns is "Oh, I'm f*#king a dog." which means I' doing nothing. And out in the praire towns of you ask for directions to the next town a lot of the times the answer you get is "well a far as the crow flies...."

well now the lucky person can make banana bread or vegan bananmania brownies

put those portly pets on the BARF ( biological, animal, raw food diet) We use to do this in Somalia without the existance of pet foods. ( which contain taited gluten from China)

I would teach my kids about their heritage in tribal and clan wise( but not in a way that this tribe is stronger, superior). However, I would teach them they are Somali first. I think because a lot of us in the diaspora are still getting over the after effects of clanism as tool for separating a people ( that are very homogenous). Some of us are still a little wary about it. Tribalism and Clanism can be something to teach as long as personal biases or suberversion does get in the way. It can be taught with a post modernist approach where we look at it abstractly and think that use to be us 10 years ago. Look at other clan-based societies that banned the "clan talk" such as the Scots and now it's coming back, but only as an awareness of their past. Which is pretty harmless.

he may have been picking you up in a very early 2oth century way.

I thought a lil junk in the trunk was a good thing among Somalis... it's only white s that dread the extra cushioning.

Somalis are a strange lot they make fun of fashion sense and hair styles when the person in question has done some great work. Seriously People! The strangest thing I think is Nicholas Sarkozy presenting the medal.... hmmm I would have expected the new British PM or someone else more left leaning.

^^ because the canal is the core of a woman it's where she delivers us all from. Severing a woman sexuality is trying to cripple her. And fear and hatred of female genitalia is ammunition in misogyny.... I hate to be really obvious, but they are connected.

It's very cute... I would't live in it though it looks like the wind could knock it over.

what about sex as gender and the difference between the two? did anyone ever conisder that some people may be googling that?

cool! It looks like a gian arm reaching out of the ground

positve propaganda is just that propaganda.... asians and caucasians aliginin....gimme a break! I half expected the article to end with the honourable Louis Farakahan speaks

I went to the Daft Punk concert last night and it was beyond amazing ... they haven't invented a word for that kind of amazing yet but as a result I am so tired.

I saw the Simpsons movie last night it was good, but it wasn't golden maybe bronze

Usaully I am an early riser but I slept in pretty late today!

What I dislike most about weddings is the wedding video. Which is produced by the next week. And you are like I was there I don't need to watch. I don't dislike weddings I just think they are very weird! To me weddings are like the mating rituals of the human. And it feel like verbal mating, that we are all playing witness to. Because of the intimate nature and a little part of me feel weirded out by this.

I like the idea, but that is an ugly building.

GG: wow! "After a trial at the Old Bailey this year, Wangita, 25, was jailed for five years for conspiracy to wound with intent and violent disorder, but was cleared of ing Osman." that makes me soo angry!

Peace now have you ever heard of this phenomenon in the West called therapy?
