I'm not happy in America, truth be told...

[Shilka Jr.]

This is a long rant/reply to AirCanada's statement, which reflects the thoughts of many other skinnies in the West.

AirCanada/AirHead says:

You would not be studying in a magical place called America (if it wasn't for the civil war and you were still in Somalia).

yeah...and you also wouldn't be a guest in the home of a foreign host. take that into consideration. i'd rather be a happy kid playing with a flat soccer ball in Dhusomareeb rather than sink in my seat whenever the "good ol' boys" from America talk about guns and border control, two subjects i will always disagree on.

man, it really does sukk being a foreigner and/or African-American/Latin-American/Asian-American, especially in a state that's 99.999% White. you should try living in that type of setting. right now, i really wouldn't mind being a slum dog in India, at least where everyone laughs at the same jokes and few exceptions have to be made for the "minority," and even though I'm the most assimilated foreign-born man in America, I will always be a minority to those who don't know me.

my earlier rant blind-sided my first point, but my real point is that Somalia was not as backwards as it is today or as my "home-grown" colleagues like to call a "stone-age time machine" but it was a decent place to live and to raise children. i've had uncles go to universities in Texas, Moscow, and beyond, decades before 1991, my father was educated in engineering in Baidoa and knew circuitry & wiring before he was 17 years of age - that's a subject i gave up last semester in "magical America" at the same age.

even still, i'd rather take a half-decent peasant/nomadic lifestyle where at least i'm home and at least i'm content as opposed to being even the highest ranking member in a HOST nation.

f-ck this place. i know, no matter how far i get in this system, if i'm ever at a bar with my colleagues, they will always have to make considerations about jokes with the "foreigner" in the room. even Obama had those moments.


-this is from the bottom of my heart and from years of experience, i want to be in Jamaame right now, i don't care if it doesn't have paved roads or if its impoverished like hell, at least i'm HOME with my people!! i've taken too much shit in this country, i'd rather be home and HAPPY!

you can always go back and never come back 1 way tickets way cheaper than return

[Voltage]

Wow man that really sucks. I knew something like this would be bound to happen when you said you be going to a school in the Dakotas of all places.

You could always transfer out to sunny California or somewhere else. You will not feel as a foreigner there.

As for Obama, he went to college in california then Columbia in NEW YORK CITY and then the crown jewel of liberalism Harvard. He NEVER went through what you are going through in middle America.

The only time Obama was forced to enter there was the campaign when he went bowling in Pennsylvania and some race car driving in Indiana. Both flop experiences I am sure he wants to forget.

Transfer or you will be in that condition for the next four years.

[Voltage]

p.s. Home is America. I know you think I'm crazy but remember I went to Africa this summer. You won't realize how American you are in concept and identity even if you have never viewed yourself subconsciously as "American" even though an American citizen...you won't realize all of that until you have gone back and realize how much of a foreigner you really are.

And this coming from a guy who was taught his line up to Shiekh darood at 7 and could read and write somali courtesy of his dad at the age of 13 and could out debate any old man on somali sayings and clan information at 16

Even the most typical white kid from California would feel as out of place as you are in the Dakota, sometimes I wonder how tom daschle came from there

[AyanTu]

Why do u guys give Voltage reasons to write these snet essays!?!?!?

But I agree with lil Jamac, one way ticket back home sounds good remedy

[Buhodle-Gurl]

Move to Pakistan. You'll fit right in.

I hear you bro. Same sentiment here. I have a job, a good car, a sassy life, but still life sucks big time and I never feel at home. It is not a happy world we live in mate. I got pics sent from Hargaysa of my neighbours who left last year, they are smiling happy in the pics, looking contented having left behind a life of constant slavery to desire, pills, and worries. Faysal waraabe was in the pic LOOL, that loud mouth of a piltician whore, these guys are having fun wallahi whilst I work like a robot, transfer all my money from my account to other multiple accounts for so called services rendered that suck and benefit me nothing. War meeshaan nolol ma taallo California or not. I want my Old neighbourhood back and play with bugle You wouldn't know what Bugle is anyway seeing where you are born, but it is a soccer ball made of socks stuffed with sponges and clothes. We used to make that as kids and as an alternative to the real soccer ball which was expensive to buy for some us poor kids.

Anyway, Somalia ilaahay nabad haka dhigo. I have no hopes of it being on its feet any time soon seeing how even westernized kids in this joint act just as their grown up warlords back home who focked up Somalia and turned it into what it is Today. Nin iyo naag waa isku wada dhaqan kaaga darane. In karta ku dhacday soomaalida waynan badanaa. Bear with my rants man, I am as pissed as you are for a whole lot of reasons

"Dude, shut the fuck up. Weirdo."

I have no clue who it was directed at, but thats exactely what I thought of the singer. Bless England for not feeding me bullshit, and reminding me everyday, that I should go back to Somalia someday.
