I’m not the biggest fan of K’naan’s music but he ALWAYS comes w/ the real. This is another one of those instances….in literary form. He’s a Somali born rapper (sometimes singer) so he adds much needed perspective to this crazy situation.
Ekpelepke!
I have officially given up on my sense of direction until further notice. What I have privately acknowledged but never completely publicly accepted has been thrown in my face drivin’ around DC. I’m in my car right now, stuck in traffic due to one stupid turn I knew better than to make. Arggh (when is it appropriate to use this word…besides now?) Oh well. From now on I’m askin’ for directions at every stop, every turn, if I even think about getting lost I’m callin for help. Cuz driving around aimlessly is no fun but I know it all too well…
