    AVATAR

    WOW that movie was not impressive at all. It was a great watch - but I was not blown away at allllllllll. Should have kept my expectations really low.
  3. I wonder how many lives were saved ? Seriously amazing job.
  4. ^ Um why do you assume I know where you work? you could be working at the local post-office for all I know. Ps. If you want movies froma a secure site - you have to buy them or access them through websites run by local channels.
  5. most of these sites are filled with trojans and spyware. But if you are willing to risk your work computer try Quicksilverscreen.com and surfthechannel.com

    Che and Naden - Nina Simone is the BEST ! Was just listening to Don't let me be misunderstood and I Love You Porgy 2+2=5 - today's music is mostly crap.

    ^ Such movies should not be watched in a discount theatre totally missing out on all the special effects. Heh. not very excited. But as a devout Sci-Fi fan I am compelled to watch it. Will be on Sunday inshallah. Lily - please watch District 9 and Terminator Salvation.
  10. I wonder if he stuck to his new muslim name Nawaz Sharif Zardini lol..imagine his wife yelling Joeeee!!! he responds: woman..I told you my name is Nawaz ! no really great story. lol
  11. The Road was AMAZING - cried like a baby. Read the book !
  12. I have a personal rule in life - never discuss Religion and Politics at work and/or school (excluding trusted friends). Keep to general harmless topics such as the kids (if you have any), tv/movies/books/events (non-religious and political), never annouce loudly your taking time of for any specific reason. Keep your ethnicity a mystery if pressed - say east-africa - if pressed further say Somalia - if questioned about piracy or al shabab - nod slighlty "yea its horrible" walk away Exceptions are ofcourse if you work in a religious organization or for a political party/cabinet etc. These discussions always bring out an ugly side of your co-workers you can do without and push people's focus away from the real work at hand to something that has nothing to do about whether I support the minaret ban or not! There is seriously no point in telling prospective employers your religion. It has nothing with how well you do your job. The whole point of an interview is proving the simple fact that I can do this well and I can also be your new bestfriend If your thinking, I need special accodomations for prayer etc etc. GET THE JOB first and demand second.
  13. Best movie ever ! Saw it a couple of years ago. Also recommend "Monsieur Ibrahim et les fleurs du Coran" - if your a fan of Omar Sharif you will love this movie to bits.
  14. OMG Me I just saw this movie this weekend, and leaving the theater we had the same discussion. We actually didn't think all the Africans died. But that's a good point. None of those countries represented in the three arcs were from Africa (not even South Africa made it) But let's hope that the perfect genetic pool they collected, had a few africans in it. My first thought when they said Africa survived is - damn it they are recolonizing us ! can you imagine poor africans seeing those huge a$$ boats coming at them? slavery !
  15. ^ lol K'naan's working it. Coca Cola's theme song for World Cup, now publishing on Huffington ! He should run for prime-minister next !!! (yes..American's and UK' ppl..he's Canadian BRAP!) lol
  16. lol ... the whole fact you approached in an alley is scary. What did you expect for her brother to do...ask for your number on his sister's behalf??!! Gosh. What a decent brother - go the halal way and ask for her hand dude.
  17. Same reasons women stay. Low self-esteem - feel like they deserve it, some warped notion of "love".
  18. OMG. OMG. It's the end of the world..these men are pervs. What happened to lower your gaze!???!?
  19. That's just scary. Poor kid - what options either he fell to his death or is lost somewhere in the skies. Yikes
  20. LoL - Malika I bet you guys can out-do us.
  21. Salam Maskin Yep I was there. Inshallah next year's walk is going to be Bigger and Better ! Keep next thanksgiving weekend open It's funny seeing the pictures again - brings all stress back It would be amazing if every city with a large somali population took this upon themselves.
