I was a dedicated follower in these cult circles and was hailed as the next big thing – a new form of somalilander from the qurbaha but with the lingo and ideology of cult leaders. but still, i yearned for more than mere stories and tales of biblical proportions. i came here and saw my land and realised the evil rubble-rousers and instigators, were so detached from reality and lived in a bubble, a bubble of illusory dreams and nightmare induced fallacies. for the last three years, i've been working on grass roots, organic development, development dictated by us and not them conscious efforts to rebuild the broken social fabric of this land. the people of this land don't need the usual delusional nonsense peddled by fake politicians like 'international recognition'' and other such fallacies. i feel, they need to understand the importance of sacred social values of 'trust', confidence in their own being', deference, trust in social institutions and authority. from the very outset, i felt, through the various research and papers, i wrote on these matters that crucial societal rehabilitation efforts were being ignored and considered something peripheral that the somali customs, norms and values can wholly solve. I realised that through a grass-roots, bottoms-up and an organically Somali approach, I was more than capable of developing new methods, ideas and thinking that may signal a way forward. and i feel i've achieved those aims in their entirety by blogging on SOL and 'exoticisting' my mad exploits for all to see, in the hope they may confer me with accolades, sharaf points and ever lasting success. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL two years helping Dude this is a brilliant coming of age story; seriously. Am luvvin' it; keep writing, tell us more...am thirsty...

Wonder what the Cheshire cat has in store for me tomorrow... sounds excellent. at this fragile early stage of your work relationship try not to impress too much. leave some of the talents and skills for another day. also don't be too eager to impress with mere words but impress with practical examples. drop subtle hints of your competences here and there. when going through your responsibilities and JD, try your utmost to be realistic. don't burden yourself with ambitious targets and what have yous. work ethic, punctuality, contributions, social events and tedious office politics are crucial. use selective honesty but always remain elusive and desired. i'll be going through my new JD and objectives fairly soon and i would appreciate any advise you can provide. keep me updated bro. thanks. al.
