"Its not enough to win...others must fail" ...

Every time I read something or hear someone say anything interesting, I have to write it down. I have this little book I carry around with me, just so I can write things down. The other day, I was kinda bored and just browsing through it and I realised I couldnt read some of the stuff I wrote, coz sometimes while Im asleep, and I think of something, I just wake up and scribble it down, so im gonna write them here..yes I know Im crazy, but its sort of like a habit I cant stop now.

Anyway here are some of my fav stuff Ive read or heard people say, most of them are sort of ironic or have a dry sarcastic humour to it, which is why I like them.

"Its not enough to win..others must fail" - some article from The London Paper - I think this is going to be my new moto in life ..lol

"Marriage Is the first step towards divorce" -

"In GOD I TRUST, EVERYONE else, polygraph, DNA sample, two-forms of I.D. and three references.."

"If A equals success, then the formula is: A = X + Y + Z, X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut." -- by Albert Einstein


"Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity - Martin Luther King Jr. "

"Who kicked a hole in the sky so the heavens would cry over me?Who stole the soul from the sun in a world come undone at the seams? - OASIS

"I attempted to save the world, and lost myself."

"The Greatest sophistication is simplicity and to understand that is Sophistication, "

"IF LOVE IS THE ANSWER,COULD YOU REPHRASE THE QUESTION ?” - some advert on the tube

""I hustle words and pimp sentences" -

"If life gives you lemons, Throw them at the person who gave them to you and take the oranges you wanted in the first place"

"I shall die, but that is all I will do for death" - I find this really funny lol


"I was flabber gasted, never has my flabber been so gasted"


"Marriage is not a word, its a sentence "


"If you slit my throat, with my one last gasping breath, I'll apologise for spilling blood on your shirt" -


"Most people think that life sucks and then you die. Not me, I beg to differ. I think life sucks, then you get cancer, then your dog dies, your wife leaves you, the cancer goes into remission, you get a new dog, you get remanted, you owe £10 million in medical bills, but you work hard for 35 years and you pay it back and then one day you have a massive stroke, your whole right side is paralysed, you have to limp around the streets and speak out of the left side of your mouth and drool, but you go into rehabilitation and regain the power to talk and then one day you step off the curb and BANG!, you get hit by a city bus and then you die. Maybe..."


okay I better stop now, I think I wrote a essay there..but ohh well!

My family

I swear my family is driving me crazy. I think we are the most dysfunctional family ever, its like we co-exist, just tolerating each other. I sometimes wonder if we are the only Somali family like this. Well we have never actually met any of our cousins ever (well except for some old women my mother grew up with), but I have never met any close member of our family thats about my age. Another thing we havnt met any of our aunts and uncles, my mother said they all live in Somalia and the USA. I always feel out of place among other Somali people, since they all have large extended families and millions of cousins, and we dont even have one:(..ohh well.
I think thats why we always seem to argue and stuff, coz we are in each others facing all the time, we dont even act like how other Somali people do. Some of my Somali friends keep on saying im "fish n chips" or acting "white", just because I dont like what they do. I mean I wish I could like what they do, like going to weddings, Somali partes or them Shisha palaces. Every time I go out with them, I have to force smile and fake laugh coz I'm not enjoying all that. I don't even know what I actually enjoy most, but its not that.
I don't know, and on top of all this, my sisters and brothers are driving me up the wall. Its like every time I come home, tired, just wanting to eat and sleep, theres an argument over some little silly thing, and until its settled, they are screaming and shouting like freaks. If this doesn't happen, then one of them has entered my room, and taken something I need or one of my sisters has worn an item of mine. The sad thing is, they keep on doing this because they know I dont do anything about it, I just get angry for a minute and then the next minute I'm helping them wit something or giving whatever they want. All my other sisters are so not like me, its like they remember every single favour they done for you "ohh remember I gave you £1 last year" or something silly like that, and they dont seem to be able to say sorry if their in the wrong. My younger sister would never ever say sorry even if you had a gun to her head, she calls it "pride" not saying sorry, I have to be the one going over to say sorry for something she has done,s o she can start speaking to everyone again.

Anywayz I'm planing on going to the states next year after I graduate, so maybe things will change.

The Weekend -

This is my new favourite song by The Perishers - the lyrics are so true and its kinda sad I can actually relate to this, I guess ohh darn it..never mind!, Im too tired to type, and my computers skills are not that good, so the next best thing to listening to the song is just ummm reading the lyrics. enjoy

You don’t know me, But I’m sitting next to you
Every morning on the bus or on the tube
You look tired, would it help to hear me say
Don’t you worry, Friday’s not that far away?
On the weekends, We try to get our share
Of excitement and of fresh air, Trying to forget Who we’re gonna be, When the alarm rings On Monday morning.
If in the evening, All you do is watch TV, Cause your too tired for anything else, You’re just like me.
Just remember, As you struggle through the day, Relief awaits you,Friday’s not that far away.
On the weekends, We try to get our share Of excitement and of fresh air, Trying to forget Who we’re gonna be When the alarm rings On Monday morning

Life

Its Thursday today and I'm meant to be at Uni right about now going over a case study about designing fermenters. I was up early but like always no matter how early I get up, I'm ALWAYS late. Its like I spend for ever getting ready then I'm running out of the door making sure I've got everything I need, then I realise I've left my oyster card when I'm at the train station or left my coursework at home, then I run back home to get it, and when I finally do make it to the station, theres always delays or engineering works, then when I do finally get to Uni, I've missed the lecture. But today when I got halfway, I just came back home, sometimes I just get this feeling like "whats the point of all this"?. Going on the same bloody tube every day, doing the same work every day, meeting the same people, talking about some useless things that's not even exciting or important. I don't know what I'm going to be doing in the future because I'm finding travelling to Uni such a hustle and soo draining that the thought of working everyday and travelling everyday to get to some boring job is frightening.

On my way back home I saw an old Arab woman with her 30 something son, and I suddenly felt slightly jealous of her. They were on the Piccadilly line going to the airport. When ever I see old people, not old as in wrinkly old, but 40-60 year old people who are just taking life easy and have everything, I just wish I could be that. No need to be rushing around, getting sleepless nights working, revising because they already have everything they need. Ohh well, I better get back to doing these calculations, and ohh I forgot my darn calculator isn't working. Its like the 5th time this week I've had a bottle of water or drink spill in my bag. I'm always in a hurry and when ever I have a drink and put it in my bag, its ALWAYS seems to spill. Its kinda embarrassing i mean I'm meant to be an adult now and all my books look like a 5 year olds books. Ohh well I guess I'm cursed or something, but I'll have to use my phone's calculator today and this will take centuries to do, but that's life innit?

well well...
