viva new york and the snow family
My long absence can partially be blamed on New York since I had to go there two weekends on a row without any internet access. Then early on last week the internet in my apartment gave up on me and Comcast couldn't come till today so I've been deprived from my humble abode online, sorry folks!
All the nagging aside I had a blissful time there, the seminar was very thought-provoking and enlightening and I met many genuinely nice people. (these type have become a dying breed nowadays). Looking forward to going back there sometime soon hopefully.
So christmas has come and flown by and new years is around the corner. I'm hoping work won't get too hectic and the weather doesn't go ballistic. I'll be busy wrapping up the horn series for VOA Africa and the WEBR show is ready to be put on air every tuesday at 4pm DC time.
More details coming shortly (i.e. when internet decides to grace my apartment again).
Peace

The explosion
The explosion
I was made to detonate
To consume the bodies of the innocent
For their limbs to disperse and evaporate
My purpose is to suffocate
The breathing of the young ones
Who have no voice, on their behalf,
To advocate
I am the might that destroys the mothers, their wombs
Before they give life to unborn others
My powers surround the barren lands
With their melting body parts
Their heads, legs and hands
You see, I only take a second
To produce results
that will take years to reckon
I swear solemn oath and give allegiance
To those whose hearts favour
Unmeasured evil and vengeance
I breathe strength unto their cruel minds
To inflict all levels of evil kinds
How do you stop me for I do not control myself?
I am controlled by those
Who wish you all ill health
My message to you; the suffering is around you
The damage has been done
But their cries are still heard in the skies
Unite yourselves, unlock your fists and respond as one

escapism was overdue..
After a devasting week full of bombings, casualties and strikings of disaster. The biggest explosion to date occurred Thursday morning in Mogadishu at hotel Shamo where a graduation ceremony was being for the graduates of the medical department of Benadir University. The blast killed more than 20 people including ministers, professors, MP's and many medical graduates the country needed. It was indeed the most saddest incident that took place. I was also affected by the blast that occurred in Damascus, Syria as my dad lives there and both the blasts happened on the same morning and were being reported on the news at the same time when I switched the radio on. I thought the world was coming to an end. Subhanallah. I pray for my people, it seems the more steps that are taken towards achieving some normality in the country, the further that aim gets. Have we no heart? Where has humanity gone?
After the shock of a Thursday I was relieved to jump on a plane on Friday to the land of the hippies aka Portland. I loved the city immediately, its wind blowing a cool breath of breeziness. Her bridges flowed over one another and her inhabitants were the friendliest of God's creatures. The atmosphere in the air was filled with just the right level of peacefulness. My travels took me further to Vancouver, Chehalis and Seattle where I enjoyed several fine dishes of Somali cuisine, a craving I was dying to soothe and pleasant companies of close friends and family. I thank everyone for a wonderful weekend.
I'm back in DC only to discover the workload piling up so my head is gearing up to be buried in the land down under. Be good folks. I leave you in peace til next time.
