| Random shiZzI realized that living my life trying not to be in a category has left me with no identity. nothing to hang on to. There is absolutely nothing in this world that is meaningful to me for more than a fleeting moment. except maybe a handful of people. And I wanna say I'm muslim. but how can I? So I've worked so hard not being what people want me to be, to not make PEOPLE my god, but I lost track of my original goal. To please Allah. Now I find myself about 4 weeks away from the most important time of my entire life so far...so far as I know it to be. As I've come to fully fathom, and hopefully this isn't as shortlived as it has been in my past attempts, what it means to be Allah's slave, I am TRUELY aware that this world is meaningless. there is nothing here. its all a load of crap. pure intnetions are all that matter the three OB's of modesty: hijaab, nikaab, jalbaab (inshAllah I'll be sportin all of em) i feel lost and i need to be found. waking up for fajr is not that difficult. must eat within two hours of waking must eat fewer calories than i burn body uses up about 1500 doing nothing dentistry sounds interestign all of a sudden carribbean, 16 month graduate medical studies, not bad izzy, halima, annam c. (...im next!?), anum n, asysha, farzana, aqsa, nazia. those are my murrow predictions. lol. shinig shimmering splendid. plane jane. plain. plain jane. prank IMs no more movies. 108 days (oh my freaking gosh!) whats left but a thorn? that scratches away the infamy created. by scorn. the very principle of which you have yet to fulfill. in time. it will become the essence. i dont noe wat that was, random words linked together as they popped out of my head with little to no editing. love doing that. i dont care if its real poetry or not. wat is real anyway? restarted my comic from 11 years ago. SUPER EGGHEAD! he looks better than ever. and new villains too. *sighs*

| Ignorance in the 21st Century: Why it Cost us a War and 1.8 Billion Other LivesSo last summer i attempted to write a book (LOL. I know, like maddd ambitious of me). I was so hyped after AP Economics and government class, and I had this last minute, high school senior yr bubble of knowledge ready to burst. Intro “When they meet those who believe, they say: "We believe;" but when they are alone with their evil ones, they say: "We are really with you: We (were) only jesting." ” [Quran 2:14] There aren’t enough Muslims out there spreading the REAL message of Islam, as is our duty. Instead, when conservative Americans and doubting minds ask us to prove that Islam is really a religion of peace, as we proclaim it to be, most of us don’t have a response. The only way to go about proving the truth is for the doubting mind to spend a day watching or living with another Muslim, a real Muslim. Now, if you aren’t Muslim, know nothing about Islam, and are exceptionally bigoted with no intention of becoming open minded, I suggest you stop reading because all that will come out of your reading this book is more hate and anger, through every word, towards people you know nothing about. I do not wish for any more animosity than we have already accumulated through the twisted contortions of the media (it’s not their fault that the only way to make ends meat is by playing on our fears; sometimes the truth can be boring, you know). However, if you are ready to think from one Muslim American’s point of view, to understand her strong opinion, then I invite you to take a journey with me, through the depths of my mind and realize that we need to relinquish the curse of ignorance that has engulfed the people of this entire world. Ever since the war began back in 2003, I only slowly begun to understand its impact and its significance towards Islam and myself. However, I did understand its political bearing. I knew, like most of America, that President Bush had only started the pointless war for his own greedy ambitions…oil! It may have begun that way under the pretense that it was our duty as a powerful nation to “liberate” the Iraqis—and “spread democracy” even through tyrannical means, if necessary—but it ended with a whole new face to the war. We had overstayed our welcome in a place already hostile to our motives. Islam says that if you are being oppressed/terrorized by the majority, you should move to a place where that group cannot harm you so you can practice your faith peacefully. Who is terrorizing us, Americans? No! We ARE Americans, just as much as any non-Muslim citizen. We are entitled to the same rights as any other citizen in America. Whose fault is it that most non-Muslims know very little, if nothing, about the REAL Islam? It is the fault of those Muslims who do not bother to gain more knowledge about their own religion. It is the fault of those Muslims who are not able to defend the teachings of Islam properly out of their own ignorance. It is the fault of those Muslims who do not practice what they preach, and I am not expemt from this. Islam, when practiced properly, is a beautiful way to spend one’s life for anyone who truely wishes to gain the benefits of the hereafter. Not well known to the layperson is that there are fewer restrictions in Islam than most other religions. Forbidden are only the vulgar things that can ultimately damage an individual, and everything that is beneficial to us is permitted. Islam is like a prescription for the sick heart. Furthermore, it is probably the only religion that does not promote discrimination of any kind, despite the obvious superiority complex between all systems of faith. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~ War on Terror: Good Thing Getting rid of Al-Qaeda = Getting rid of terror, fear in the US, Europe about Muslims = putting an end to ethnic profiling with the “random” 10% searches. Any white person, Michael Smerconish, for instance, who’s gone through screenings at airports, or used Subways of NYC, would agree with me. All that would be left are the “homegrown terrorists” to worry about. We can’t just assume that they are dangerous because they are unorganized, but if we instill terror in these people by ending the reign of a massive terror group, the little ones will hopefully be too frightened to continue their evil work. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~ It’s funny how nothing’s happened to Canada yet, and good thing, too; that would be an excessively large burden to handle for everyone, but especially for us Muslims sitting at home, gaping at the news in complete aw and dismay at how much the perception of Islam has been, and is continuing to be, vandalized. Muslims at home—innocent, ordinary people, just like you—are too afraid to talk about their opinions on things like terrorism on the phone incase we are being wiretapped. Other people can jokingly mock the media’s perception of Muslims for the sake of making light of the situation, but Muslims cannot do so incase the person we joke around with is really an undercover agent. Why should Muslim Americans be afraid of calling our dear President a terrorist? It’s our right, as not only people living in America, but as American citizen’s, to freedom of speech. We are entitled to our own opinions and can express them without fear of being punished for it as long as it is pure speech. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~ According to the sayings of Prophet Mohammad (pbuh), if someone is doing a most terrible thing, you should either: "Take action to stop it, Speak out against it, Or feel In your heart that it is wrong.The last one being the weakest signs of faith." If ingested the wrong way by the most ignorant person of faith, the above-mentioned quote can seem a very dangerous thing. If acted upon by the most ignorant, this quote can do very dangerous things. This is what the supposedly Muslim terrorists have done. Myself, I do not wish to call these people Muslim because they only bring dishonor to Islam and insult the name of the religion. Of course, it is not my duty to judge whether someone should be called a Muslim or not, that is in God’s Power, no matter what. /.eND | | |
| I am SO entering next year. For some reason in junior high i was obsessed with platform shoes. Had so many pairs, I lost count. Wore them everywhere until I wore them out. Probably the reason now I can run in high heels like they're tennis shoes. | | |
| so emptynothing phases me anymore.
ive become so indifferent towards people, minus the few i like... no more time.
time to think. yearning for the chance to be. not just in existence, but who am I. what do I mean. define me. THERE IS NO DEFENITION. i just am. and i don't know. and i feel empty. so empty. so empty. why. why now. why's it coming back. why's SHE coming back the great being of invisible nothingness pierces through the chasm, streching its head through her soul, to find a black, glacial void; a vacuum. it bellows mostrously in eternal pain but only a mute sound echoes. numbness fills her insides. yet shes free from the pain. the soul is no longer in her posession. she is detached. you can tell by the way she stares i need to write a story. and read, and be thin. very thin. i need to be perfect. i don't need to belong. i need to concentrate. concentrate. think. let go. restart. i wanna quit. i need an excuse. im not consciously making decisions. descinions are not my own. and nothing phases me. "[I tried to hate and got bored.] I tried to love and failed... Now I just drift through scenes and watch what you say and do. I write it down at night through a microscope. I turn specs of dust into planets, moments into eternities... I know that from time to time women hate men's guts. I know the same goes for men. I know you think about sex all the time. I know you have killed people in your mind. I know that you say a lot of things to yourself that you would never say out loud. I know you say a lot of things you don't mean for fear of what the other chicken shit lying motherfuckers will say about you. I know you say one thing and do another. I know some of you hide behind the flimsy shield of political correctness. I know you, though. You want to fuck, own, and kill as much as anyone else. And all that, is what we have in common." ---unknown source | | |
