... if need be, fight for your AND their rights.
The designer is obviously blessed with a mountain-high IQ, EQ and RQ! Or is it river-deep?!
No, thanks! It's just a short walk home.
about me
- Life is delicious for everybody; so share it with your contemporaries and leave enough of it behind for future generations (Somali proverb);
- Resistance doesn’t begin with big words but with small deeds (Remco Campert, Dutch poet and writer)
Mystery intrigues me and arouses my interest. Creative, gentle, politely rude, humourous, sensitive people appeal to me. I’ve deep respect for socially conscious people, specially those who stand up for others. Environmental justice and ecological rights are for me as important as human rights; not just because of idelaism, but also for the simple selfish reason that damage to nature heralds the end of human life. I get literally sick of injustice, indifference, materialism, power-hungry, fear-mongering populism..
I approach life lightheartedly and take it, where need be, seriously. Am an urban nomad; have had the privilege of living in 5 countries and visiting many more in 4 continents; Oceania refuses as yet to be conquered. Would like to visit yet more places. I enjoy life and feel at home in my new country (the Netherlands; come originally from Somalia). I dream though of living one day as a real nomad in the middle of the (Sahara) desert with a drum, guitar, harp, flute, (Somali) traditional instruments...; am planning to take lessons to learn playing some instruments (who needs food, water...?!)
Don't have enough space and time to state a fraction of my shortcomings; you could ask though if you're interested and could spare a few days.

A womans Blog from Iraq

"A must for the hibernating pro-war fellows"
I read the blog from time to time. It's riveting, informative, painful and yet sometimes humourous. Bush and co. should read it on daily basis (I assume they CAN read).
