So the answer to every situation is to" dump her before she does" :confused: , LOL..what a joke........

Lol@Jamaal-11....i hope you reach that goal.....but as for me, coming from a pretty small family..i think i'll try and keep it to a minimal and say that maybe 3-5 is a good enough number for me....insha'allah

For me and my family to go to Jannah

if that wasn't an inspirational story for you, then i dont know what is.... I'm just beaming right now ....i cant be more proud of her ..i just couldnt stop thinking about this one part.. and the parents, who see a growing generational gap, worry about keeping their children in school and out of gangs. it frustrates me to see people taking not taking advantage of such wonderful opportunities....this success story should be a motivation for everyone, young and old.... i wish her the best, and god bless her...and i hope to see/hear more of these success stories from m somalian people

Personally i never thought it was right to call any of god's creations "ugly"....i'll just say im not attracted to them....i'm not perfect, and there were times when i called people ugly out of anger...but if i were to refer to something as being "ugly" it would have to be the person's character...i.e."despicable"

Do you mean Nas's " rule the world", yeah i remember that song...but anyways, i was just kidding...i actually have very big dreams...at first my parents, and friends didnt think i was serious, but lately i've had big breaks, and NOW WHO'S LAUGHING..oh wait,..AHEM.. i'm getting ahead of myself....but anyways..here goes well growing up an argumentative kid, the thought of becoming a lawyer dawned on me....i've heard all these stories.." oh all lawyers are liars, and they're no-good crooks", well i hope to climb over those stereotypical barriers ...since my ninth grade year when i joined my high school mock trial team..i've heard of my "gift", lol(not bragging or anything), and when i started winning city, county, state awards...and working for my county's juvenile courts sytem, and becoming a member of my state's Law academy, which helped me become inducted into the student bar association...thats when i started earning my friends and family's recognition....whew :eek: ,THAT WAS A LOT!!.....but even though i know im talented in that field, its not the job i intend on retiring from...from there, i hope to enter into the political field...start landing positions in the government.....after that, i want to start working internationally.......my ultimate dream job would be working in the united nations( move over Kofi Anan).....just trying my best to make the world a better place...there are a few more detail i could add....but i dont wanna bore you....lol BTW::Kaafi...a teacher huh?impressive, i think they have the best jobs in the world , and i really mean that....good luck with that

LOL^^^^ P.S. this post should give you a few ideas

This is just ridicules......at first i was laughing, especially at this part "I was not happy. She put yellow colour in my hair," said Mohamud. "I was shocked. She was shocked. lol, but after a few more "stupid" parts, it was just disgraceful.....these grown women need to learna few things...i swear,EDUCATION DONT HURT NOBODY.........stabbed someone b/c she messed your hair up, and she called you a few names...WHATS NEXT???....**SHAKING MY HEAD AT THOSE SHAMEFUL WOMEN**

^^^LOL, wow that is a bit weird^^^^.....its like constant supervision...in the real world, and cyber :eek: :eek:

Originally posted by silent-sistah: well, you aint going to see me in a club, so i really cant ansa that. and the girls i know that go clubbing will never take a guy they meet in a club seriously, so change your scene------try weddings! this is so true...well for me at least...there are strict NO-NO's to where i meet guys, and the club is one of them....my advice to you...just dont try so hard...dont go to a place anticipating to meet a girl there....GOSH, now that i think of it, there are no rules, or answers to questions like these...dont think about finding a girl so much....when u see a girl, and you just cant take your eyes off her, then get your nerves together and just approach her!!If she rejects you, oh well....you dont want to be with someone that doesnt want you anyway....

TO RULE THE WORLD..............(then the scary music starts to play....DUHN, DUHN, DUUUHHNN!!)

the religiously strict ones......

Now just how much money is in this credit card????.....if this is anything like my fantasy, then it would definitely have to be Prada, Gucci,Coach, Luis Vuitton....but if were talking reality, i might as well stick to the stores i shop at now Gap, Bebe, Guess....Oh but you said ONE store......well im stuck between Richs-macy/Dilliards.....those department stores carry all my name brands

Well in our family we celebrate mother day, fathers day, birthdays, anniversary's, etc......i guess we've adapted to the american culture...but anyways, since my dad is the typical coach potatoe, we decided this year to get our dad a BRAND NEW recliner.....his old one is really starting to deteriorate :eek: .....LOL.....and make him his favorite meal.......BARBEQUE, lol.....yeah the old POPS deserves it

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: ......oh and i almost forgot :rolleyes:

Congrats im pretty sure your advices and inputs have always been well appreciated ...so on that note....... 1 more year!!....1 more year!!....1 more....oh wait a minute, why am i chanting this...its not like your running for an election, ...or better yet, moderator **hint, hint**

I was born in the states...but i was fortunate enough to return to my family's hometown 5 times....as far as the whole adapting thing goes...its always hard for me the first week or so, but the adjustment comes pretty quick after that....i think its up to the person...first you have to be willing to adjust... the last time my whole family went to africa, was last summer.....ironically, my brother, sister and I adjusted pretty well...but it was my dad that only lasted 7 days..... :eek: LOL, but unlike me, he's only been back home once, ( and that was in the 80's!)...but i found it weird...my mom said that he was being stubbourn, if he only gave it a chance, it wouldnt have been so hard.... but anyways, i always find the experience rewarding....I always feel refreshed when im there,like i have no worries, or stress...i honestly think its the best vacation....i found it to be a great place to enrich my soul......i hate waking up early( whether its for school, or anything else), but back home, i found myself waiting for the time to pray at the crack of dawn I cant wait for next summer when i go back again, and i know this time will even be better, cause im going with my favorite cousins, and my fav uncle.....

Chicago..( on average i go there about once every two months!)......over half the somali population over there is my family :eek: ......
