For the very first time on this blog, today I’m not really happy to write this post, mainly as a result of what’s going on in the Horn. As I wrote about this very particular issue last week, Ethiopia should stay the hell away from Somali affairs. I just don’t understand why would someone invite [...]

The Horn
December 26, 2006My Weekly Roundup
December 16, 2006It’s been quite a busy week for me, and I’m ready for my two week break. Shukran to my fellow bloggers who have wished me (and gave me some awesome tips/Du’as) good luck with my exams.
Anyway, it has also been an interesting week for news as well.
The Horn is heading what will be called an [...]
Exam Week
December 12, 2006It’s that time of the year again. The dreaded exam week, well, at least for school people. I have three crazy exams before the end of Thursday.

Ninety percent of the time, I only listen to podcasts, most of them from either the BBC or NPR/PRI, but lately I’m listening to this album so often that [...]
My Geeky Side….lol
December 3, 2006This morning I was woken up by my uncle around 11:30 which usually is my wake up time for weekdays, but Weekends? Hell No! I was in the middle of a lovely dream and the next thing I hear is his voice calling and within 5 seconds, he’s standing above my bed and softly touching [...]
My Life Story….written by ME!
December 1, 2006Last night I’m watching Chappelle’s Show and there was this sketch about that movie Antwone Fisher and Dave raised a very good question: Should people write their own life story? I mean, wouldn’t people try to lie and embellish their story just a “little” too much? This reminds me of that Million Little [...]
