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...
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)
