"Do not save your loving speeches
For your friends till they are dead;
Do not write them on their tombstones,
Speak them rather now instead"
Anna Cummins
This is a post dedicated to my great friends. All of them. For the ones who i have written here...and the ones i havent. I love u all.
Awino;
A great friend. One of the closest i have right now. Awino is his nick that he hates...and i love. He's got a somali name. We've got a lot in common...and lots of differences too. He is a proud guy...cocky for some people, outright arrogant for others, but i understand him more than he thinks i do.
Mash;
A friend that everyone would love to have. Very generous. Very understanding and helpful in whatever problems u would have. The type of friend who never sleeps when u've got a minor headache. A wonderful person, really, he is just wonderful. He listens to everyone...and that might be his undoing...he is a tad more gullible than everyone else. Another close friend.
Somafric;
Wanna laugh? Then get to know this guy. A lady's fav...onlys coz of his humuor. He is an open book. He hides nothing from his friends...and always thinks out aloud. Generous. I can always think out aloud when with him.
Baba;
High school friend. Once left me with a swollen eye after a fist fight. Perharps that fight made us closer. A very good non-somali pal of mine. He'll always be my friend.
Deco;
Grown up together. Used to be best friend in my formative and primary school days. I have got a soft spot for this guy, and he's got a soft spot for me too...partly coz we grow up together, partly coz we've been through a lot together. We have developed into very different people...and our interests and hobbies are miles apart and as a result we dont talk that much these days...but he's the kind of friend that u always know treasures u and u treasure him. The years he was my best friend are always treasured...and even though we dont talk that much, i gotta love and respect for this guy.
Teso;
An uncle and a friend. I havent seen him for 5 years now. Gotta say i miss him big time. We also grew up together...and coz he was a little older, we never used to walk nor play together but he would always listen to u...And i learnt a lot from him. Even though we've changed and we are all finding our place in the world, we both know that when the tears fall or the smile spreads across our face, we'll come to each other because no matter where this crazy world takes us, nothing will ever change so much to the point where we're not all still friends.
Mato;
One of my oldest friends...from 1996. We knew each other from 96 but have been best of friends since 1999. All through high school, we never left each others side...through thick and thin. The amazing thing is we have a lot in common...and that is why we will always be friends.
Kriss;
Current classmate in university...An immensly talented guy. U cant get a person with more academic prowess. He is the gonna be big in life, if he stays away from alcohol...u heard here first. He also a great guy. One of his biggest strenght is his ability to be a friend to almost everyone and his ability to strike a conversation with everybody. He always fits in with every crowd...and is always an optimist. He could also make it big in motivational speaking.
Kido;
One of my few female friends. Now in states. She was great...when she wasnt angry at me. I miss her.
Dadiir;
Always ready to learn from his friends...and he listens to them. If only he could stay away from the damn tobacco...!
Fatush;
I'd like to be the sort of friend to her that she has been to me. I feel that she hasnt meant a lot to me as i have to her...and am hoping to make up for that.
Wordz;
Deskmate in std 6...passed through high school together and always treasured each other. Another very talented guy...if only he knew how talented he was! I always say "what a wasted brains..." when i think of him.
Elvo;
Quiet intelligent...we've got little in common, but have been great friends. Another high school guy now in states.
Siz;
Just that, my sister... and my friend.
Nuria;
A good friend. Always supportive...and i always tell her evrything...everything.
Daddy;
Daddy. My dad...my friend.
Stev;
Always has a witty answer to every question. Looks queit like a talented writer, though he doesnt know it. I should convince him to have his own blog. At times weird...but very cormfortable to be with. Has delusions of grandeur. And is a man u fan.
Kev;
The person i have argued with most in college. We are always conflicting...conflicting teams, him man u, me arsenal, conflicting idealogies...always. But a good guy. Never speaks to women when sober...never speaks to men when drunk.
Gal;
A virtual buddy...we chart a lot and she is quiet hilarious. She's got away of cracking me up.
Me;
Last but not least...i am my best friend. A man's gotta love himself. Maxwell Maltz said "If you make friends with yourself, you will never be alone" . True, i'll never be alone...coz i have myself.
And many more that i forgot here...
"The bird a nest,
the spider a web,
man friendship."
