My friend Julian found this Grafitti Maker on Arcade Pod and it's really cool. You can choose different colors, art styles, textures, everything. It's totally awesome awesome awesome awesome. This text says Lil2kool, and under that's my name.
Ok. I never got a chance to put these pictures up. You know me and my studying and extra curriculars. No time to do anything, man. oK, HERE ARE THE PICTURES.
That's me. I am a mexican. Now what?
Terminator Glasses
This cat randomly went into our house. Yasir fed it.
I am happy to say I LOVE being American. DEspite being called Arab, which I'm not. I find that hilarious.
Bismillah. It's spring break. And this is the first day. Yay, I'm so EXCITED. What are we going to do. Hmm. Ok time to make a list of stuff.
Here goes the SUPER SPRING BREAK GOALS LIST
1. Memorize Qur'an 2. Be good Muslim- refrain from lotsa stuff (no weed. jk. I don't do that) 3. U.S. Government Project 4. Great Gatsby (I already read it, now I'll do the essay) *yeah right! 5. Skateboard (I haven't done that in years) 6. Write a story. *Finished one 7. Write poems (What? You never seen dudes write poetry?) 8. Muslim U.S. Government Presentation 9. Youtube *I LOVE YOUTUBE!!! *DROOLS 10. Run to get faster 11. Read Two Books 12. Study the ACT *hate that*
We'll See how that truns out. Besides that. I found some really cool stuff. Oh Really? Yeah. Check it out.
I really wanted to post something last week but I didn't have time. It was so cool. Umm.... Oh yeah.
I tried out for Track (and didn't make it), read Halo: First Strike, played soccer, did a fundraiser, and volunteered at teh clinic. I felt really worth it. Alhamdullillah.
Now I'm reading the Great Gatsby. It's good, but got a lot of bad parts in it. It really shows the superficiality of modern American affluent lifestyle. Having parties all day is not my ind of life. I was watching Bend it like Beckham. The indian girl went clubbing with her friends. It didn't look fun at all. Ishhh. Boring!!!!!!
Why don't they just have halo parties or go sk8ing?
We're having another fundraiser for school. It's gonna be good.

I used to be really passive. I don't mean it in the social way. Wait. yes, that way too. But I also mean passive in issues. I don't stand up for what's right. I'm a slacker. This is all about to change.
I don't want to be just another person. I want to be a leader. If the world will change tomorrow, it's because I'm part of it. We're discussing issues in U.S. Government class and I just keep hearing the same words. "Stay in Iraq. Bomb Iran!" What is this? What will the world be like? Are my kids going to be sent to concentration camps for their faith? I hope not. I've started to realize I have to stick up for Islam. We can't rely on religious leaders to do anything, because they are "Fanatics" or so they say. The world needs youth, American youth who are patriotic and at the same time, religious, and at the same time compassionate for the world.
Anyone who sees this, please tell your friends and family.
Here's the message:
Free Palestine.
Get troops out of Iraq.
Stop the war effort to Iran.
Learn about Islam.
Rememeber the Chechnian brothers who die defending Chechnya from the Russians. They're secret wars are still goin' on.
Live for PEACE!!!!
I hope the world changes for the better. Ameen.
here's a youtube video on poetry. The woman is muslim and she's talking about how bad the world is. What she's saying is the secret truth, listen to her.
It's like in those movies where the kid wakes up and he looks outside and what does he see: snow everywhere. So he goes crazy and truns on the radio and it says, "No school." Hooray! He jumps around, runs outside and yells yipee at the top of his lungs.
That's like today. well, kinda sorta. My dad woke me up around 6:00. He said, wake up. I was thinking it's kinda weird to wake up before 6:00. Why was he acting like that? So then I see him watching his World War2 movie. I thought, why would he watch that in the morining. And with pajamas on. So i flipped the channel while he said, there's school. At the bottom of the screen, it said, schools closed. He said, I said school was there, I didn't say if it was closed. Yeah. yeah. I thought that's lying, but school WAS closed and that was cool. Then I went to kohls and bought shirts for 1 dollar. One dollar, to the chinese guy who met russel peters is a lot, but to us it's nothing. I was happy I got something. When I went back home, I found out I missed the snowball fight, but that didn't matter. I threw some snowballs at the neighbors and then we went skating. I ollied a 3, but I couldn't kickflip. That's ashamed, but so was the 3. No runway... How can u explain that.
At the masjid, we read Qur'an and watched Peace Propoganda and the Promised land on youtube. There were so many technical difficulties. The person in charge of the laptop had an error on google and youtube, and we had visitors watching! What an impression. If you want to watch the clip urself, click the link up there.
Right now, I'm back home watching Bleach 113. I feel good, but life is still insecure. I want to build confidence in myself, but with a hustling bustling city, a bus to school, extra curriculars, and sharing my room, I don't always feel at peace. May Allah give me , hint hint and the Ummah, strength. I really need it. Make Do'a for me if u see this. Maybe I'll make doa' for u too. Life can be content, but not always perfect. Sometimes, I wish it was...
Well, here is a story about two movies, the good and the ugly.
Let's start with the good. A few days ago, I was up at 11;00 at night and my dad and brother were watching this movie. I got tired of studying so I checked out what they were watching. In the movie, there were these flowers that gave birth to identical human clones, meaning that these plants made people who look exactly like you, but they're humanoids and they kill you at nights. After that they become slaves to their government. Wow it was the scariest movie I had ever seen, aside House on the Haunted hill. This 1978 (Yes, I know that's old) movie's called Invasion of the Body Snatchers and it was scary. Even for being an old movie, it's scary. Here's what happened. There was this family. They're the typical American family. The dad was sleeping outside, when he heard some noise. He woke up to find 4 pods, or humanoids next to him. Freaked out, He got his ax and shashed the face of the one that looked like him. It was nasty. the showed the pod's face after he did it. After getting no help from the police, which are now bad guys, the family runs for their lives. The mom and dad go inside this building, but they're both stabbed by some star trek looking dude who said they'll turn into pods in 1 hour. The mom and dad beat him up and throw him in a freezer. To survive, they had to act like pods, but that fails when the mom sees a dog with a human's head and freaks out. Ahhhhh. That's freaky. Then the mom dies and becomes plastic-like. The dad runs away, almost scared to death, and he wants revenge. So he burned one pod factory. They chased after him, and he ran away. When he was far away from everyone, finally, he became a pod. The End. A freaky movie with a freaky ending. How freak is that?
So watch it and cry to yourself. I gaurentee you will.
Is it just me, or does every break just go so fast? Summer went kinda fast, Thanksgiving went real fast, and now Chirstmas break... And for some reason, school days go so slow. It's like, if you're having fun, time flies. If you're bored to death studying, time goes very slowly. Today is the last day of our break. Yes, I said it. Today is the last day. I can't believe it. it's been fun tho. I played soccer with my friends, watched Eragon with abooty, omar, yasir, and munir, watched alone in the dark (worst movie on earth), went over Surah Al Naba', watched youtube vids, went to the skatepark with Justin. So yeah, I had fun, but I don't know if i accomplished all my goals. Let's see, where's my goals list.. Hm. here it is.
Winter Break List 1. Memo 5 old surahs. 2. read 4 books. 3. SAT and ACT practice 4. film another mini vid for sk8ing 5. STAY ACTIVE DUH 6. try out for Track 7. Write on my echo... book 8. Make some Bibo Vids
That's it for right now.
Hmm. I didn't make another vid for sk8ing, but i got some clips. That's good. I wasn't active. I did memo 1 old surah. I did Sat practice. I had a track assessment. so that's cool. I didn't work on that novel, but i did make the children of the underground video. Yay! And I made some Bibo vids. So I'm good to go.
I really wished i could publish my work in a magazine, but I didn't. I'll try to do that really soon. there's a poem I have called : horrible blood red wine. You'll see this published some day. (Gosh Khalid, u must be dreaming. =) )
Salam everyone. It's that time of year. Yeah, ya no. Eid Aladha. Eid Mubarak to everyone. Oh, What a great eid! We went to rafiq's house to watch arsenal vs. sheffeld u. Arsenal lost 1-0. lol. Everyone was mad. They were like, why did Arsenal. rather, how did arsenal lose? It was a suprise. That team usually does good and wouldn't lose, 'pecially to Whatever that noobish team is called. I mean, the only goal sheffeld scored was by circumstance. some dude had the ball, was running up to the goal, and the goalie goes up to him. Goes up to him? Why? Well, he did and all the dude had to do was kick and the ball went pass the goalie for an easy touchdown. But it was all good. I ate some delicious chicken pizza. *only 2 slices tho :(*
After that we left and went home. I ate some choco-raisins (raisins covered in chocolate) while my dad rented the mummy from the library. I got a kick outa thinking he rented such an old movie. Well, Abooty wanted to go watch eragon so we were like, al right, let's go. So my dad takes us to the masjid to pray Maghrib and soon after, like around 5:20, My bro and I hopped into the van and sped away to the theatres. i felt kinda out of place for not being there in almost a year. I never go anymore. My family doesn't like that place, but I do. Lucky for us, we came at the right time. from 5-6 pm, it was 3 bucks. how cheap is that. br. Nabil actually payed for all of us. Yasir, Munir, Abooty, Omar, and me, and br. Nabil, of course, sat like a few rows from front. the movie had already started but fortunately, we only missed 5 minutes of it. the egg didn't hatch yet. the movie was a blast. lots of bad guys getting wooped, a flying dragon, and a teenager with a sword... how col is that. It's sad that the old man, brom dies. I thought he'd live. There was also this emo dude who's an archer and he helps eragon. the emo kid's dumb tho. he's like a big filler.
The cool part was at the end. The evil emporer told his Shade, a person who has dark teleporting powers, to kill eragon. Eragon was in the land of the vardans, or rebels, and he prepared for battle. It was on. The shade rode on a dark magic demon with shark like teeth and smoke coming out of it. The fierce battle came as the eragon's dragon went head to head with the demon. The dragon almost died but eragon didn't let it happen. As the shade threw fireballs, eragon jumped and stabbed him in the heart. the battle was over. peace restored yay.
We skate a lot. I try to be as good muslim as possible. I want to go to heaven. Munir's my closest friend. I've known him all my life. We sk8 a lot. I like drawing and writing and skating (Duh, like I'd miss that)
That's like today. well, kinda sorta. My dad woke me up around 6:00. He said, wake up. I was thinking it's kinda weird to wake up before 6:00. Why was he acting like that? So then I see him watching his World War2 movie. I thought, why would he watch that in the morining. And with pajamas on. So i flipped the channel while he said, there's school.

Then I went to kohls and bought shirts for 1 dollar. One dollar, to the chinese guy who met russel peters is a lot, but to us it's nothing. I was happy I got something. When I went back home, I found out I missed the snowball fight, but that didn't matter. I threw some snowballs at the neighbors and then we went skating. I ollied a 3, but I couldn't kickflip. That's ashamed, but so was the 3. No runway... How can u explain that.
