Follow me on twitter...maybe?...I think you'll want to. @BoomerOTH Hey guys, my name is Umer, sometimes called Boomer...not often. I am a new writer here at OTH and honored to be able to write for them. I'll try, to the best of human ability, to bring you news that you may not have heard of and take you beyond just the informative aspect of news. If I can bring in a reason for you to personally connect with, and empathize with, the subject, I will have achieved my goal. A laugh and a share on fb doesn't hurt either ; ) I'm a huge advocate for international development, social awareness and change and above all self-actualization. Being able to take a breath with the entirety of who you are, with those you care for. If we could all do that, how many conflicts do think we'd still have? Open question btw, completely up for debate.
