Nah! It's my bro Lamagoodle who's willing to tie the knot to a well off Xusul baruur. I am a lifelong bachelor and a free bird.

Lamagoodle wrote:You are a typical somali man of mature age. There is nothing special about you; lugo baasto, shaf dooro/digaag etc. You are not the stereotypical stout black man although you think that nin kaa shidan ilaahey maba abuurin. You are a somali afterall.

You are in the heartland of Africa. Suddenly, you become attractive to the Xaawaleys of this part of the world because they view you as different; probably they also think you are loaded in the department of wallet stoutness. In this part of the world, success is measured by the colour of your skin. Not that your correspondent is light skinned, He is somali black. You never ask “caanahaaga meeqa la gadaa” because you know that in this part of the world, abject poverty will even make a stone sexy.

Then at breakfast, you notice a middle-aged xaawaley from Asia looking at you and taking notes. You have a sense of fear; toloow ma jaajusbaa? She smiles when she notices that you are also watching her. She continues with whatever she is doing and you keep wondering "war nagtani maxaa ku daba dhigey".

10 minutes later, she puts a paper on your breakfast table. You take the paper and look at it. You notice that she was drawing you; a cartoon, a caricature but a funny one with the signature; Yuko and the words “ you look like god”.

What a way to start your day.
