Yaaaaaayyyyy! Page 9 and 9. cheesy

Re: Buzugee/Nairaland, So I Want To Talk About Living Abroad by isalegan2: 2:53pm On Oct 03, 2011

This is what I should have been doing all along: breaking my posts into little bits.

I'd have reached page 100 this weekend.

And whoever had something to say (K1, K2, 4J, etc) would have to gbe'mi! angry

hahahahaha.

Moved. Again! Oh well. I was kinda expecting it. This is def a record. I'll take it!

1) Foreign Affairs, to
2) Travel Section, to
3) Nairaland, to
4) GENERAL section, ♫ where he lays his gentle head ♪

Come on, page 99-100.

Don't worry darling, It's well.

This is truly a record.

Re: Buzugee/Nairaland, So I Want To Talk About Living Abroad by isalegan2: 12:55am On Oct 04, 2011

hahahahaha.

Did you notice the other changes Seun made?

1) I know I can't modify any longer. Don't know if it's forum-wide; I know your previously mentioned that your (education) thread was set-up that way - no edit/modifying of posted messages.

2) Nairaland section and General section are now one.

Overall, good moves. Not aware of any others yet.

I so much want this thread to reach page 100 and go into the archives, like YESTERDAY! I may just start posting a video per message. Afterall, the end should be a party!

He's a geek, isn't he? No, it isn't forum-wide. He did inform me about why he had to tamper with that section. I think we have to roll with him or geek out discussing his actions and inaction.

PS:

Yeah, the end should be a proper beano. Hmm, I am the luckiest! Lucky Ola. wink

Rumi

Choose Love

Because of the beloved
my heart is happy,
my soul is illuminated.

From the beloved's greenery
hundreds of blessed rivers
are flowing into the rose gardens.

In order to enter into your rose garden,
the soul makes peace with the thorns.

Choose love. Choose love.
Without this beautiful love,
life is nothing but a burden.

~ ~

Ghazal 1419

The Story of My Life

I was ready to tell
the story of my life
but the ripple of tears
and the agony of my heart
wouldn't let me

I began to stutter
saying a word here and there
and all along I felt
as tender as a crystal
ready to be shattered

In this stormy sea
we call life
all the big ships
come apart
board by board

How can I survive
riding a lonely
little boat
with no oars
and no arms

My boat did finally break
by the waves
and I broke free
as I tied myself
to a single board

Though the panic is gone
I am now offended
why should I be so helpless
rising with one wave
and falling with the next

Idon't know
if I am
nonexistence
while I exist
but I know for sure

When I am
I am not
but
when I am not
then I am

Now how can I be
a skeptic
about the
resurrection and
coming to life again

Since in this world
I have many times
like my own imagination
died and
been born again

That is why
after a long agonizing life
as a hunter
I finally let go and got
hunted down and became free

~ ~

Ghazal 1219

I don't need
a companion who is
nasty sad and sour

the one who is
like a grave
dark depressing and bitter

a sweetheart is a mirror
a friend a delicious cake
it isn't worth spending
an hour with anyone else

a companion who is
in love only with the self
has five distinct characters

stone hearted
unsure of every step
lazy and disinterested
keeping a poisonous face

the more this companion waits around
the more bitter everything will get
just like a vinegar
getting more sour with time

enough is said about
sour and bitter faces
a heart filled with desire for
sweetness and tender souls
must not waste itself with unsavory matters

~ ~

Why Wine Is Forbidden,

When the Prophet's ray of intelligence
struck the dim-witted man he was with,
the man got very happy, and talkative.

Soon, he began unmannerly raving.
This is the problem with a selflessness
that comes quickly,

as with wine.

If the wine drinker has a great gentleness within him,
he will show that
when drunk.

But if he has hidden anger and arrogance,
those appear
and since most people do,

wine is forbidden to everyone.

~ ~

Mathnawi II: Go, seek the water

Know that the outward form passes away,
but the world of reality remains forever.
How long will you play at loving the shape of the jug?
Leave the jug; go, seek the water!

Re: Buzugee/Nairaland, So I Want To Talk About Living Abroad by isalegan2: 5:04am On Oct 04, 2011

Rumi

Only you
I choose among the entire world.
Is it fair of you
letting me be unhappy?

My heart is a pen in your hand.
It is all up to you
to write me happy or sad.

I see only what you reveal
and live as you say.
All my feelings have the color
you desire to paint.

From the beginning to the end,
no one but you.

Please make my future
better than the past.

When you hide I change
to a Godless person,
and when you appear,
I find my faith.

Don't expect to find
any more in me
than what you give.

Don't search for
hidden pockets because
I've shown you that
all I have is all you gave.

~ ~

Ghazal 120

Don't go away, come near.
Don't be faithless, be faithful.
Find the antidote in the venom.
Come to the root of the root of yourself.

Molded of clay, yet kneaded
from the substance of certainty,
a guard at the Treasury of Holy Light -
come, return to the root of the root of your Self.

Once you get hold of selflessness,
you'll be dragged from your ego
and freed from many traps.
Come, return to the root of the root of your Self.

You are born from the children of God's creation,
but you have fixed your sight too low.
How can you be happy?
Come, return to the root of the root of your Self.

Although you are a talisman protecting a treasure,
you are also the mine.
Open your hidden eyes
and come to the root of the root of your Self.

You were born from a ray of God's majesty
and have the blessings of a good star.
Why suffer at the hands of things that don't exist?
Come, return to the root of the root of your Self.

You are a ruby embedded in granite.
How long will you pretend it isn't true?
We can see it in your eyes.
Come to the root of the root of your Self.

You came here from the presence of that fine Friend,
a little drunk, but gentle, stealing our hearts
with that look so full of fire; so
come, return to the root of the root of your Self.

Our master and host, Shamsi Tabriz,
has put the eternal cup before you.
Glory be to God, what a rare wine!
So come, return to the root of the root of your Self.

Ghazal 323

in every breath
if you're the center
of your own desires
you'll lose the grace
of your beloved

but if in every breath
you blow away
your self claim
the ecstasy of love
will soon arrive

in every breath
if you're the center
of your own thoughts
the sadness of autumn
will fall on you

but if in every breath
you strip naked
just like a winter
the joy of spring
will grow from within

all your impatience
comes from the push
for gain of patience
let go of the effort
and peace will arrive

all your unfulfilled desires
are from your greed
for gain of fulfillments
let go of them all
and they will be sent as gifts

fall in love with
the agony of love
not the ecstasy
then the beloved
will fall in love with you

PhysicsOPP,
Where've you been? My favourite Bini man! cheesy

Hmm. I have some intellectually rigorous questions to ask you:
1) Do Binis, or Igbos, drink emu (palm wine)? If so, what do Binis call it?
2)

I'm being serious o. Not looking for a fight. Well, maybe later. But if anyone (Katsumoto) asks, you started it. cool

BTW, the thread will possibly be locked at 101 pages, so enjoy. Check the previous 2 pages for my brilliant summations of the 1st 70 pages. tongue

Where's our very ~~useless~~ able Politics section moderator and friend, OAM4J, to lock this thread. I'm taking a sabbatical from Nairaland! I've had enough! angry

When Kilode, Katsumoto, Badagry etc come back, Tell them to start their own threads. undecided

I told you a few posts back, that modifying messages in this section is no longer an option. It's a new development.

Doggone Getty Images! Last time I use their pictures (without paying)! embarassed

isale_ggan:

hmmm. Why is it stuck on page 97? lol.

More pics.

Rocking the Jew-Fro. But too much opon. Or is it iponri? [size=4pt]shut up![/size] Forehead.

Pretty, but wrong. Bare shoulders and short dress. It's usually one or the other for an elegant evening wear

Why Why Why Designers will give you free clothes and everything to go to these things! Whyyyyyyyyy? What kinda doggone outfit is this? Who is she anyway?

Whatthefff. . . I'm going to another site. These are all the "questionable" dresses.

Bare legs, but everything else covered; nicely done. I want those bracelets!

A friend and Kate Winslet

Kerry Washington looks different; They say you can never be too thin in Hollyweird. I'm guessing 45 kilos

Nice

isale_ggan:

Desperately looking for Black people

Aww Hell No! That yellow is blinding; and the hair?

Nice

What the hell's he/she got under there? The names is "Laskshimi Padma" or sumsuch. All these people with Indian names - are they nominated or just Bollywood types looking for their 15 minutes of fame? I don't know most of the actors anymore - I don't watch Emmys anymore either. Oh well. Still don't mind watching the fashion.

Another one! Well, I am seriously searching for photos of Black people at the Emmys to post.
So, this one'll do.

Anne Sweeney, Pres. Disney/ABC Networks - can't think of a single show I watch on ABC

hahahaha. Is she married to him? David Boreanaz: Poonhound Extraodinaire.
The bad boy Tiger Woods wanted to be like. lol.

Mad dogs and Englishmen

Kathy Griffin; Ugly inside and outside!

Sofia Vergara: Beautiful inside and outside

Get those earrrings out of your ears, punk!

Interesting accessorizing. Anyway, she's not a glam girl, she's a comedian.
They do their own thing

Pretty dress

P.S. I don't like the dress. I prob wouldn't say that to her face sha;
her rep is that she's a b on wheels. . . who makes grown men cry

I like it

The only ones still showing are the ones not from other sites. ::shrug::

isale_ggan:

, , ,

One more thing to get out of my system . . . Happens only once a year anyway, so no shaking.

Didn't watch the Emmys, but noticed some coverage of the gowns. So, here goes.

I don't like doing Best & Worst Dressed. Cos, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But. . . hmmm . . . it's not a hard and fast rule. A really egregious fashion felony will make me whimper.

Didn't know that was Paula Abdul.

Pretty design; not liking the bare midriff; also another view of the outfit showed way too much of her unmentionables.

What?! Looked good until you cast your eyes downwards.

Oh dear! Is that the Osbourne girl? Is she on drugs again? Look at her waist.

An albino shouldn't wear such dark blue.

Mrs. Katsumoto

Naijababe

She wears it well! Mrs. Katsumoto

I don't like the belt.

Elegant; a little too understated for the Emmys though.

Mrs. Katsu. . . Oh, Wait! He's not the polygamist. So-rry.
