Insanity ?? ..OR .....

A MONTH LATER : ......
Inaa hebel maa aragtay ?? [ did u see ....??] 
allah didnt you hear , wayy hiinastay oo darkii bay digtaay [ she went insane ] 


I'm not sure how common this is in other Somali communities, but in Borame its " THE PHENOMENON OF THE DECADE" . 
here's how it all started  :


zahra was a beauty queen back in her youth , she was a symbol of beauty, the talk of the town and envied by many . she was every man's dream and every ugly girl's nightmare. now one  cursed day prince charming came along, promising her everlasting happiness in his kingdom, she would be his "ONE AND ONLY" *coughs*, his PRINCESS  [ y would she settle for a princess status when she was a queen !!! .. she probably didn't realize just like so many ] .. he swept her off her feet filling her world with dreams and hopes and fantasies. now when they got married and zahra gave birth to 4 kids [ with no break in between because of the hyper-sexual ass] , she was hit with a huge responsibility and lost herself in the midst of diaper changing, breast feeding , and so0 much more. THE Princess status was dropped and now she was running around being a waitress, incubator and a pleasure doll . Prince charming married another gORGEOUS young Queen and Zahra found out weeks later , 


now i would personally handicap the bastard, throw him out , clear him bankrupt and divorce him
sadly divorce is still frowned upon in this side of the world , and women in Borame are way too passive. 
so0 how did Zahra respond : 


well she went into severe depression, turned into a ticking time bomb from all the stress , and blew up one sunny Saturday . her children where taken by the man's family and Zahra was chained to a bed so0 she wouldn't create a public scene [ as in take off her clothes in front of stores and scream : AM I NOT BEAUTIFUL ENOUGH ?? WHATS IT THAT SHE HAS AND I DONT ??]
              the reason women are loosing it is  99.999%  because of  - MEN!!!!!!!  [ i'm not HATING  but its true!!! ] 

FOR THE IDIOTS  who would argue a man is allowed four wives in our religion : A MAN is allowed to marry four wives, however there are rules before he can do so..  YOU CANT JUST BE BROKE  and expect to marry four and have 40 kids ... WTF!! THEY ARE YOUR KIDS AS MUCH AS THEY ARE HERS !!! IT JUST DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY . YOU WANNA MARRY FOUR, YOU HAVE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CONSEQUENCES OF DOING SO [ yes i got worked up for a sec there excuse the caps] 
                               
I know most somalis don't believe in psychology , and think going to see a psychiatrist to solve your issues, is a sign of lack of faith . [ that explains the nonexistence of somali psychiatrists in somalia ] 

now if common sense was existent i would agree with that thinking , but common sense has died a few 100 years ago, and since it isnt going to be resurrected anytime soon, id say take the preventive measures to a happier life .. confused ?? this is how you do it : 

 I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND WATCHING   " DIARIES OF A MAD BLACK WOMAN " ,  AND LIVE YOUR LIFE BY THE FAMOUS QUOTE : WHEN YOU SEE THE SIGNS - KICK HIM OUT AND TAKE ALL HIS POSSESSIONS , and you will live happily ever after - GURANTEED FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DECADES !!!!! 

Somaliland Elections !!!!!

AND THE DAY HAS COME!!! : with every election there is that mix of  high hopes, dreams for recognition, and wishes for the best . question is how much of the public's opinion is looked at or considered  ???
 now i have promised myself i wouldn't get political, but this is " THE EVENT OF THE MONTH" . so a few words on it could do no harm .. just to make things clear,  I DO NOT SUPPORT ANY OF THE CANDIDATES, I REMAIN NEUTRAL IN THE ENTIRE ISSUE !!!! ..

now that thats out of the way , you are all wondering who is running ?. well for starters there are 3 candidates :

Dahir Riyale Kahin - For Unity, Democracy, and Independence [ UDUB]
President Dahir Riyale Kahin is Somaliland's third President. A member of the feared National Security Service under the late Somali President Mohamed Siad Barre, as Vice-President of Somaliland he took over after President Mohamed Ibrahim Egal died in 2002. He narrowly won the 2003 presidential election, amid claims of manipulation

Ahmed M. Mahamoud Silanyo - Peace, Unity, and Development Party [KULMIYE]
Ahmed Mohamed 'Silanyo', was widely expected to win the 2003 presidential election. He lost to the Unity Peace and Independence party candidate Dahir Riyale Kahin by just 80 votes. Silanyo was expected to win the next election but his party has problems. Always an autocratic Chairman, younger activists are challenging Silanyo, particularly since the party's March 2009 convention. Some senior members left and Kulmiye is weaker than in 2003.




Faysal Cali Warabe - For Justice and Development [ UCID]
leader of the second opposition party, the Justice and Welfare Party (UCID), has no political baggage from ex-President Mohamed Siad Barre's regime. This has worked in his favour and he has cultivated a successful, if relatively low key, media profile.



YES I GOOGLED IT ALL , I HONESTLY COULD NOT BE EXPECTED TO KNOW ALL OF THAT, let alone remember it , I HARDLY REMEMBER WHAT I HAD FOR BREAKFAST !!!!
voting starts in a few days or weeks, and hopefully things will run smoothly ; with as little manipulation as possible in an African country.[ don't yall sit there and act like it aint happened].. we all know there is no way to a 100% uncorrupted election, but according to claims we could come as close as 90% accurate votes. Using a facial recognition technology, should cut down on the inconsistencies . I'd say it don't get any better than this. Being in Africa; that is definitely an accomplishment.


another major event coming up is SOMALI LAND INDEPENDENCE DAY.!!!! . alotta festivities in the air in the s.land communities worldwide . like the many onlookers , I  got my cameras charged and ready to catch the excitement. 
definitely doing a post on that to0.  

A SYMBOL OF BEAUTY

over the years, i have always heard people argue about what is considered beautiful . things like " long hair is gorgeous " and " long legs are sexyy" . Usually one of these arguments would end with a statement like :  " beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder".
 now being me i always found that line extremely corny, and people who considered obese to be hot  as just really twisted.. well sadly i was wrong, naive to be more precise .
 i never really thought somalis looked at beauty in the way i am about to put it [ apparently being born and raised in the middle east did affect my somali perception of things ].

now of the many strange beauty symbols,  the one thing that has me in complete awe was the fact that

" STAINED TEETH  AND SPACING ARE A SYMBOL OF BEAUTY !!!!!!!!!!!!" , if only someone told me that a few years back, i would never put myself through the torture of braces and those long  dreaded dental visit.

 " WAXINNNGGG !!!" ... another hellish process we women put ourselves through for that silky smooth skin that is considered feminly . well  you wont see no somali women worrying about hairy arms or legs and how unattractive it is,
since HAIRINESS IS HOT!!!. ofcourse not to the extent that makes you look like a primitve creature, but as some of you might know, africans arent really hairyy, [ i guess that explains why the few who have that little hair want to keep it]. now that brings me to the eyebrows- when in somalia, the thicker your eyebrows, the hotter you are.. so ladies THROW THEM TWEEZERS AND GET THAT NATURAL
LOOK GOING.

main point : so you want to be a model ??? but cant make it in paris because you are not skinny enough ?? TRY OUT WHERE BOOTYNESS IS APPRECIATED!!!!
