Old stuff I wanted to put on the blog

2007-03-11T21:28:00.000-07:00

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.

Horrible Blood Red Wine - a poem

2007-03-10T10:04:00.001-08:00

And here is my poem. DO NOT STEAL IT ARRRRGHHHHH. THNX.

BISMILLAH.

“Oh that horrible blood red wine”

From a past life now forgotten

as my heart grew black and rotten

with a sinful essence clear as cotton

I felt myself no longer fine,

Bottle clutched, I stay there, sitting

recollecting thoughts, admitting,

there was no way out, no quitting,

the Massacre at Palestine,

So forever-I was not kidding’

I had no choice at my bidding

except to drink blood, fitting

my mouth full of that horrible blood red wine.

Suddenly, I began to recall a grand memory,

a vague remembrance I tried to hide cleverly-

But I am human, my mind burned and turned Emory

with a disaster where I was the mastermind.

It was a pitch-black night in April 1997

Boozed up from a party, I was coming home at eleven--

Having betrayed soberness, not thinking of heaven,

Or the future that would forever be malign.

I drove on, mad like a demon

Rappers on the radio, I heard them leanin’

Rode on, like their songs, but now I was even

Copying satanic design.

I checked my cell because I heard it ringing,

Far above, sat a perched raven singing

The drink, through my blood and soul, ran stinging.

I was now so far behind.

Suddenly a mass was coming my way,

I felt for the brakes, but pushed the pedal on the highway

Black birds enveloped the skyway

A car came rushing like the gushing of the Tyne.

On the vial’s skull logo, a grin was shaping

My soul grew still; my mouth lay gaping

From the collision, there was no escaping.

My God… I am a Frankenstein.

As the rats drew biting, the pendulum slashing

Darkness, frightening, “balderdashing”

Leafless trees, lightning flashing

How I wish I saw that scarlet sign,

In seconds, there was a crash that pulled me under

An echo of silence, a sound of thunder

For in that hiatus in time, I wonder

If I would make it out alive and fine.

As the twisted metal came thrashing

And the crumpled cars, grinding, smashing

I saw a teenage boy come crashing

Through the windshield and into mine.

Adding to the worst of my dismay

I heard the boy breathlessly say:

“I’m the preacher’s son. Don’t beg for forgiveness. Don’t cry.

But never sin again, for everyone one must die.

Whatever tomorrow brings, remember me, this is good bye.”

The lights turned off inside my mind.

I drove to the hospital, above flew a raven

The trees grew darker, the world had caved in

As the wretched beggars stood on the sidewalk wavin’

No smile came to this heart of mine.

The only one was on the skull of that horrible blood red wine.

Tears came down with the driver crying

I stood watching his son dying

A great sorrow I could not help denying

Started to flood my mind

I didn’t do much but muttered

Half-true words I tried, and stuttered

And nothing I did at all, I uttered

The evil and regretful line

“Oh that horrible blood red wine”

The father accosted the doctor after my decision

to cause a deadly car collision.

From the eye of X-ray vision

We knew his son had cracked his spine.

Under the boy’s skin, he wasted away

All because I had gone astray

This was to be his final day,

But how I wished it were mine

The man’s son died, he sat weeping

In my heart evil was seeping

I felt a guilty fire creeping

Somewhere far off in my mind

How I wish I never drank… that horrible blood red wine

Time flew by from past to present

Of a tower-lurker, a future peasant,

That was I-the effervescent

Man with the bottle of wine

And yet the blood and skull I hated

Became a drink of desire, jailed and jaded

Now I would love to be vindicated

Of that horrible blood red wine

I grabbed that bottle- of desire

Divulged the last of the useless fire

This addiction would now retire

When I smashed the drink of me, the liar, against this floor of mine

There was an ocean of blood, explosion of pieces

Among bits of glass, a skull now ceases

The World War inside me ended with a final thesis:

“‘Tis the end of that horrible blood red wine”

‘Oh how I saw it shine

That horrible blood red wine.’

The sun went setting,

a martian red wedding,

The final seed of sin was shredding

“Victory, at last”- that was my final line

‘Oh how I saw it shine!

That horrible blood red wine.’

And it's SPRING BREAK woot woot

2007-03-10T09:47:00.000-08:00

AICHA LIVE- OUTLANDISH

Last week

2007-02-24T07:50:00.001-08:00

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.

Last week

2007-02-24T07:50:00.000-08:00

I'm coming up

2007-02-24T07:36:00.000-08:00

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.

A snow Day

2007-02-02T19:47:00.000-08:00

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...

For now. Alhamdullillah. This day rocked!

Salam everyone. Peace out ya'll

2 movies.

2007-01-07T09:08:00.000-08:00

The good, the bad, and the ugly.

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.

Thy Last day

2007-01-07T08:51:00.000-08:00

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. =) )

Eid Mubarak (This eid is al Adha, not Fitr)

2006-12-30T19:26:00.000-08:00

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.

Eid Mubarak everyone!

CHILDREN OF THE UNDERGROUND

2006-12-26T22:01:00.000-08:00

This is my Children of the Underground Project. I was on it b/c I was going to make a series and movie. All sorts of stuff. You know me when I'm in my fantasy. Well the series was going to be like final fantasy. I would have kept going, but it's only a summwer thing. I still have the story line. Alahmdulillah for all this. I wouldn't have done it without Allah's help.

Everything's running smoothly

2006-12-26T21:01:00.000-08:00

I put it on my list. It says number 6. New year's rez (resolution) in red letter : blog. I onlt did that 3 times so far. Two on the same day. Gah. i guess was just too good to miss out on blogging. We played a soccer game, two on two. Abdul Hadi was on my team and Iyyad was on my bro's. We beat them. *it was all pretty much Abdul Hadi. I did have some good goals. One time Abdul gave a perfect pass to me and I was on the right side of the goal. Left foot went smack and the ball slided into the makeshift goal. (the goal was made from a toy car and a bicycle. You had to shoot the ball in between.) There was another time when Abdul Hadi and me were side by side running. I had passed it to him and he gave a perfect one towards me. It was suupoosed to be one of those time when one player passes to the other right in front of the goal-- It just didn't happen. I guess we have to be Munee and Ebro to do that.

I still didn't see Justin yet. I want to. I wonder how he is. maybe we can go skate. i just wished it wasn't 37 degrees outside. Munir wants to go hit up the 5. I want to so bad. Maybe even get it on camera. Speaking of that, I want to buy one right now. 300-400 dollars doesn't take a lot of time to earn. ... If you worked. I should get a job.

Oh yeah. We watched two great movies today, Zathura, and Shawn's favorite movie, *at least I think it was* Black Hawk Down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zathura I picked this one out. We would have watched it before but my bro pormpted me not to get it. Even though he wanted Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Noticed I didn't bold face the title. it's cuz the movie wasn't all that great. There's this two headed weird blonde dude who won't be quiet and a depressed aluminum robot shaped like a chibi astronaut. lame. At least to me it is.
Zathura is about these two borthers, Danny and Walter, and they're total opposites. Danny's this young kid who wants his borther's approval. Walter is the typical little jerk who thinks he's all grown up. They live in a house with their dad and sister. The mom's divorce. Well, the two get in a quarrel and danny finds this boardgame: Zathura. Oh my god. That's when everything changes. the whole outside of the house becomes outerspace and the living room falls under meteor shower. A robot comes in and plans to kill Walter. *reminds me of terminator. The girl freezes for a few minutes and becomes a statue and an astronaut comes. In order to get the whole fantasy normal again, the two brothers must finish the game. This doesn't happen when they quarrel. The tale of brotherhood .. Walter and Danny become friends that sort of thing.

there's a funny part in the movie when the family finds out that the astronaut was actually walter in the future because he didn't finish the game the first time.

The message is the brothers resolve their issues via their love and acceptance of each other. Cool?

Black Hawk Down

There was a huge battle. Bodies flying. The copter got shot in the tail and it went spiralling down ward. Baldes spun as it went isdeways and the blades spun and broke into the ground. Somalian people got rpg's and ak 47's and shootyed up. One american got hit and he fell on the ground. There was only half a body left.

The movie was good but there was propoganda. A muadhin gave adhan and while he did, a man with a ak was praying. What people pray while adhan is on. What's with the adhan. Now it's a terror symbol. Blah.

Other than that, great movie.

One word....

WINTER BREAK

It's offically begun. Actually it began 7 hours ago when school ended. Yasir was thinking, let's not go to Munir's house. I just said, forget it, we're going this time... We did. I remember going on the road in Munir's car and seeing our bus we take almost everyday just turn right to the highway. We went stright. That was sort of symbolic or something. It really said the break started. We got to Munir's house. I cleaned the clinic for 5 bucks. We had three really cool soccergames. It lasted for 3 hours. Munir and Ibrahim were on one team, me, Yasir, and Abooty were on the other. We lost duh. Then Iyyad comes along. So we started over. *I'm lstening to Daft Punk One More Time. Great song* Anyway, where was I?. Oh yeah, Iyyad came so teams and scores were reset. And then it happened...

I was running up the other goal. Munir and Moad stood in front to block the ball. I thought i could hit a high one. Kick! the ball skimmed the ground where a water puddle was and flew up. Water splashed around the ball like the rings of saturn. It was a prefect picture moment. it wizzed via the air, and just as it were going to miss completely. Bonk! Ibrahim did a perfect headbutt and the ball went spiralling downwards and into the goal. I was like, Oh My God!. Ibrahim ran and I said AllahuAkbar really loudly. We slapped hands. *That was awesome* *Yall shouda been up in that gent. lol*

Good Times

2006-12-17T16:22:00.000-08:00

It's been a pretty good week. I didn't get anyone making fun of me, cept Yasir, cuz he does that all the time. Duh. But everything else was good. Like I was in track and soon as I got out, I saw this chinese kid, cuz he's in track. We were supposed to go get ice cream, cuz everyone said let's go. I was like, to the chinese kid, "Why aren't you going?" He said he didn't have money. I see this bag of taco bell beside him, and I said , "Then how'd u get that?" He told me that coach gave it to him. I was like, "What?!?!?" Just the other day, she scolded some kids for eating mcdonalds, she said it was junk food. She gave the chinese kid food, What the.... It was all good, cuz he gave me some of the Taco. It was good. Then I went to buy ice cream. Cream Cheese mixed with Twix. MM. Pretty good. Except the cheesecake was kinda sour.

Yasir showed me this site where kids blog about companies and get awards. 15,000 DOLLARS. Can you believe that? That's crazy talk. That's more than Yasir's scholarship. lol. He also showed me this.. flashpearl.com some of the best sites in the world. (I don't really think so) but that's what he said.

I'm reading The Ranger's Apprentice. 2 days till Final Exams. Semester. Wish me luck, anyone who reads this. Salam.

NASHVILLE

2006-12-07T20:05:00.000-08:00

the trip to nashville was delariously insanely puritanicaly absurdly cool. We found a cool skate spot under a bridge. Munir flipped it. I back and front 180-ed it. This cop comes by and doesn't do anything. That's great compared to those other cops that stop u cause they think skaters are psychadelic.
There was a big skatepark that we could have gone to. It would have been awesome. the Chocolate team went there and ate hershey bars. Get it? lol. Nope. But they went there. It was kenny anderson who did this really cool nosegrind on a long ledge. Then, Justin wips out nollie flip to nosegrind. That was only the movie. They weren't there when we came.
I love going up a 4 story building and looking at the view. The city's beautiful at night. My mom got to stay at a hotel, while us 3 nooblets stayed at a motel. We're so poor. laughs* i saw the 1st matrix again. It's awesome especially the lobby shooting spree, Neo flashes these machine guns. They make these really cool bell noises when he shoots them. The Matrix was better then V for Vendetta. That movie had a lot of boring fillers and profanity. The kinfe slashing at the end was cool. All the blades went slo mo as the happyface masked man swiped thrpugh everyone. There was a cinematic scene where happy man (V) through a kinfe and it sticks into one cop's head. The movie talked a great deal of corrupt politicians. The world today is totally a resemblence of the movie, I mean look at our leaders. What are they? Who are they.

We went to sardese lake. It was a pleasant suprise. Talk about being in the middle of nowhere with u and ur friend's family having a picnic. We could see an undisturbed lake, it was like a painting. Allah doesn't paint. He made. Mashallah. The picnic had good food. Not to mention we found a hidden skate spot. There was a steep bank that we rode down. The only problem was that the landing wasn't smooth. I just did rock to fakie and came down. Munir did some nollie shuv thingy. The bank was shaped like a airport baggage claim metal roundabout thing. You know the one that u find ur bag on once you leave the plane.

I just watched Bleach episode 106. Boring. well it was cool cuz I put Ser or Parecer (by RBD) a mexican girl song in the background. They need to end those fillers. I guess they finally are becuase Kariya is the only filler bad guy left. Then the story is on some new girl and a big Strong african fighter. That's all I could tell from the intro.

What's Happening

2006-11-29T20:33:00.000-08:00

What's Happening to me?!? I haven't blogged in so long. I like forgot to or something... Must be school. It's gotta be school. Grrrr. English. Econ!! I had lots of work zees days. A econ project and 4 english projects and one english/poetry project has three parts:biography, abstract poems page and analysis. It's too much. I wonder what medical school would be like. Id hate to know.

One of my pics went into Thrasher Mag. It's reel tiny tho. I'm making nother one so it's cool. I hope this goes full page. It's artistic. It's a skateboarding coat of arms. Think about that! Look out for it.

I was searching for avators and I found one page. My bro had one so I really wanted one.

Here's bleach avators

Eid

2006-11-04T16:08:00.000-08:00

I forgot to write this. WQe just had Eid and it was great. Yasir Munir Julian and I went to Putt Putt and played Latertron. I owned, not. I got third. Julian had 1st on the last game. Lucky him. Must of been that halo playing ^_^. I liked the first game where me and Shawn were doing "splinter-cell" made through the walkways. I went in front and got his cover until we got to the base. After the recharge, we'd head back to the enemy base and this time he'd go in front and tag (shoot) people.
Oh the rules of the games are tag people using ur BLASTER (awesome name) and try not to get tagged. You get tagged by getting shot on the shoulder, chest or gun. The objective is clear cut: just invade the other base and shoot their base lamp thinga majig. Who ever gets the most base invasions" *base invasion? ... wins. Our team won the first round. Wohoooo. Oh and we won the last one. I shot my brother so many times. Ha, it's not even funny. It was almost as good as halo. Not quite. What can beat halo!?!? lol, for real. No, but it was good.
Then I had a paper on OPEC. boring! 5 pages to write on opec, even our valedictorian won't do that. it's not appealing . We're teenagers. What do u expect? i'm kinda nervous too. What if I got a B on that. I don't want to get less that four flat, or five flat. I'm not Sean wui ahaahaha. I'm only malaysian. Chinese have 5% more brain power.
today we went to Kohl's and I bought track shorts. It took a long time, cuz I don't know what those pants can look like. I'm no fashion genious, I'm just a kid taking track. People say I'm gonnna lose. We'll see, everyone, we'll see. What if I become like Mr. Raldol Pickt (mispelled) and get track scholarships. That... would be great. Inshallah.

Okay, salam evryone. Time to return to my teenager superficial lifestyle.

Ramadan

2006-10-21T11:42:00.000-07:00

Salamz.

My last was post was in September. I haven't blogged a whole month! Can you believe that? Well, that means I did a lot of good things this Ramadan. hint hint; or I went on Myspace too much. shoot...
My Ramdan was good. A lot of Qiyam, a lot of Quran. I didn't get to finish reading the whole thing. I'm only half way done. We barely skated . Just 3 times on Munir's rail. I landed a smith. Munir was doing krooks nollie shove it's out. Crazy stuff, mashallah. Yasir, well, he hasn't been doing much. Except soccer. Soccer jock!
Eid is coming. Alhamdullillah. I can't wait but I'm also sort of bummed out. Too much homework. How am I going to enjoy myself.. Who cares, It's Eid. i am gonna wear my new black and blue dress shirt. Munir's wearing some pink shirt. He wants to be totally RAD!!!!!!!!!!

There were these really good music videos (some are nasheeds) Gotta Watch 'Em All (pokemon). If you think music is haram, don't watch, yes. There are some, well, non religious stuff.

I found myspace kinda derogating. It starting to seem a little "fake" now that teenagers are like, I don't know, they've overused it I guess. It's like mypace is all about profile view counts, comments, friendslist, and all the other stuff that makes it more like a competition. I just use it for friends. Zafar lives a few hundred miles. Caleb, yeah I only got one class with him. I wish Moad had myspace.
Well, nuff of that. I feel pressured these days, like a pressure cooker set to 300, it's like I really need a break. I finished the 3 page essay alhamdullillah. I dislike essays-I don't see how people write them so fast, and how people read 6000 page books in 9 hours. Then again, I pray, so that take tie. Teehee.
I'm bummed out. I gotta test tommorrow. Can someone make doa for me? I really need it. I'm reieving stress now. Bla.
Random Question: Is social life an obligation, a preference, or somekind of thing we all just have. I'm confused. The teenage world stresses social life, but not friendship. I see lots of people with friends, but no close friends. It's like school is school and home is home.

I gotta finish studying my English. Gah.

Salam, peeps. Peace to the world!

salam. Not much happened so i'm just gonna speak through my head..

we just came back from pleasant view. Played this soccer game, so boring. The ball bounced all over the cars, little kids running around, me bumping into people. gah. Br. Johari gave a speech on lebanon. I missed it..

what else? hmm, I'm listening to My Favorite Game. I'm trying not to right scripted, feels really wierd. Wonder how people can express themselves at point, like right where they're at. Not thinking stuff up and planning when to say it. that's hard. Um, anyway. nveremind that stuff.

3 hours at a library and we got hungry. My friend and I go down to cafe, and guess what happend? cashier was gone. that stank.. I'm taking economics and it's , i don't know, hard I guess. I'm trying more than I usually do. Right now i have a homework and test weekly chart so I can plan on how to improve my efficiency in school work. Isn't that cool? I hope it works, honors classes are above regular standard, if u haven't been in honors, then It's a whole new thing.

Munir has study everywhere. Why?

School

2006-08-20T16:55:00.000-07:00

Salam, yes, School has begun. I know, that's sad but it isn't that bad , it's actually pretty good. This is my first year in optional program and things have been up. I saw a lot of my friends from the previous year. The teachers are nice. (although some are too lenient) I actually have one class with my brother, can u believe that? I'm enjoying that class, but he hates it.

Oh, freshmans this year are really something. Clutterring the halls, standing alone--what are they doing. Most of them look really lost. It's like, you know, high school, middle school, what's the difference. Alright there is a difference. Abooty and his friends stand out too much. They get the hang of it, but right now, seeing them like that's kinda funny. ^_^

The tall guy who scored on me. Next time, we'll see about that.

We went to a Tarbiyah Camp around Nashville. Really awesome! First, we watched this video on 9/11 and then we played the coolest soccer game on earth. (exageration) Malaysian Nashvillians were playing really tough. I got a kick outta that. The only dumb thing was that I had to be goalie and defender. That's boring, at least in that game. Munir was getting all the glory with his five points. He's better than some 19 years there. This one tall guy scored on me. It was my carelessness or he wouldn't have scored. The rain came in, I loved that feeling. We all got wet but we didn't care. With that red sun overhead, we went back to the cabin feeling really worthwhile. I wished we played a second game.

Heres some pics....

Malaysians, everywhere.

Since the summer's ending, I'll see what goals I planned that I accomplioshed..

Bismillah....

-I was active
-I studied Physics
-Algebra 2
-I filmed a skate part
-I finished part of the novel
-I did 8/10 books, including Bean Trees, Something Wicked this way comes, and the day after Tommorrow.. Those are real good books. Don't hate on them....
-Ooooh, I did 1035 push ups and like a few sit ups. Alhamdullillah.
-I played Soccer-- Sooooooooo coooooooooooooool

and I gots my permit. 3rd try. Alhamdullillah..

Oh, you guys gotta see this. It's the pure OWNAGE of a lifetime. Watch it and really understand the truth.

Counting down

2006-08-13T18:39:00.000-07:00

It's coming. We have only 12 hours until school. Time for papers, books, and oh, yeah, that bus we have to go on every morning. Aww. I am excited. I'm gonna blow.

I ollied a 5 stair, but who cares!

Summer

2006-08-12T13:04:00.000-07:00

I wish it was still the beginning of summer. The whole thing kinda went down in a flash. I enjoyed it though. All those memories (I'm hoping that's not exaggeration) that we went through, all those things we did... Let's see playing video games, skating, reading Quran, studying *boring, and having Zafar come over to visit.

I guess this is it, the last two days of the summer. I'm counting down from now. I wish I sarted counting from Monday. Aug 14, back to school. Hmmm, I woder how it'll be.. I'm kinda excited to tell you the truth. Kids from the Middle that I know are coming dwon there.

Anyway, last few days was real fun. We slept over abooty's house and watched Pink Panther and played Soccer all the way until past Isha. I did real well, I scored only about two or three goals, but maybe I don't remember. I was a good defender though, it's fun heading the ball or chest hitting it. Our team won again. Alhamdullillah.

Now, it's Saturday and I want to go skating with Jim. Time to ollie the 8 satir and inshallah, I'll kickflip it. Bismillah. I hope I don't sprain. Actually, put it like this. I will make it inshallah.

Salams to everbody

Sweet Sixteen

2006-08-03T22:27:00.000-07:00

I'm sixteen. Alhamdullilah. I finally reached sweet sixteen. It feels great, but no biggy. Anyway, the past few days were good days.

We played soccer today and I scored the winning goal. (alhamudlillah) There was this halo game we played with Julian that was really cool. The guy modded his Box so right when we came in, I flew like 30 feet and out of the level. The magnum shot 8 brute shot and the rifle was a rocket launcher and so was the SMG. My bro went and grabbed the real rock and shot-- It went in the air slowly, like the matrix. Another cool thing was the alien rifle, it shot green blast, like the ones from the wraith. Then, the Box host left. SAD. Cries. Well, alhamdullilah, it was fun while it lasted. bla.

* that was the best halo game I ever played.

In other news Jimmy came back from China and started skating again like the first hour he arrived. That's cool.

Salamualaikum. Yall's!!!!

Look at this

2006-07-03T08:13:00.000-07:00

For all the things I've seen, conflicts i mean, there's never been compromise. I found this article that showed the proper way to help out the palestinians, have a compromise, and better the reputations of the muslims. Reall good, read!

http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/F8438864-78DD-4E91-A2D1-298737793D1A.htm

Palestinian childrens campaign to free their relatives, and meanwhile, showing the israeli part of this issue. Their method, I think, is best. I always hate it when news covers muslims as being terrorist; this article totally dissaproves of that.

DOOM DOOM DOMM

2006-06-28T19:04:00.000-07:00

Still going my way. Yep. The last three days were great. Let's see

Fisrt, I got to hang that permit. Oh yeah. Munee comes over and go eat KFC and rent Doom and Hero. They both suck. Duh. I learned that the hard way. Doom did have a cool part, that's the first preson shooting scene.

Karl Urban wakes up after getting injected by the 24th chromosome, and, after looking in the mirror, realises that he has gained super human strength. Game on! He whips out his machine gun and sprays zombies with a rain of bullets. Karl walks down this stairwell and aims upwards. BAM BAM BAM. Three headshots! all of them die--I could almost hear those words yell out of every shooting game. Triple kill. Karl empties a few more zombies and jumps over this monster with a chainsaw and shoot it off. It throws him against the floor, but not to worry. He kills it with a land mine. Blood splatters as he walks into an empty room. "Sara," he calls out. "Sara."
Roar, comes a call from far behind. Out of the darkness appears an obnoxious creature that's shaped like a bulldog on hind wheels.

Karl runs and grabs the chain saw. Blood runs the ground as he slashes the monster's face, but it doesn't budge. Karl becomes smart and cuts off the hind leg-wheels. vroom. The beast struggles to move but trips on its side and Karl siezes the moment. Double headshot. The beast was gone.

Anyway let's forget about that movie. I actually thought over the hedge looked better than it.

We went peach picking the next day. Some guy said he was gonna put us in the newspaper. He lied! But that doesn't worry me much. Munne's little bro showed me snake skin, so I brought it home. It was really cool.

Julian came and played Halo. I annihilated him, which I don't say with pride. Okay, maybe a little pride. He said he could beat me and I was like, we're the best of our school. I'll beat you. and I did. most games were 25-1, 25-2. I felt good. Anyway, he already left outta town, so I won't see him for a long time.

Now I'm reading this book by Ray Bradbury. It's really cool, I had to return it half a year ago and now I borrowed it again.

give a guess

2006-06-28T18:58:00.000-07:00

Everyone, this is khalid rosli with a special announcement.

Salamualaikum. I'm pleased to anounce that I just earned my drving permit! Yeah. How about that? That's what 15 hours of waiting gets you. I finally feel like I got somthing done this summer. Alahmdullillah. It's a botu time, with my brother getting to go to summer classes, passing permit test, and the assessment tes, I kinda felt left out. He's been lucky since the summer started.
I've been bummed out for a long time. Almost nothing has been going my way. This is a pleasant suprise. I keep this smile of triumph on my face until it lasts. Oh God, boy do I believe in miracles.

*I'm super happy now. a few days will pass and I'll be bored again. ~~sigh~~ :(

FF Spirits within

2006-06-19T13:59:00.000-07:00

It's so hot this summer...... All I do all day is watch movies on Pc or play Xbox. I read Quran too-I have a lot of catching up to do.

Hey did you guys know that there's a Final Fantasy movie before FINAL FANTASY 7? Oh yeah.. you better believe it. It's Final Fantasy Spirits Within and I just finished watching it. Great graphics and action, but it's kinda cheezy.

Nowhere does it surpass the next FF movie. It's highlights are the fight in the city, when the phantoms invade, and the explosion of the space station. The rest is just talk and fillers. Dr. Aki Ross is the main character, who saves the world by implanting spirits to flood Gaya, the spirit world of Earth; which is later called LIFESTREAM in FF7. Hein is the villian and he blows himself up in his ship at the end. (that's spoilers for u) Go watch the movie if u haven't seen it!

The movie recieved low ratings however, even after the overuse of special effects.

"the box office was 32 million in North America. It took 137 million to make" -Wikipedia.

The movie was, well, a failure. You can say that. Even Final Fantasy fans were ticked, it had nothing to do with FF, cept Cid's name reappears and GAYA becomes LIFESTREAM.
* I'm redundant sometimes ^_^* The one thing I liked was the new enemies they made: PHANTOMS. I wish they brought them back into FF, even though their new enemies are much cooler.......

3rd week

2006-06-17T07:59:00.000-07:00

IT's THE THIRD WEEK ALREAdY. Yes, it's a shock for me too. I'm kind of scared, the summer has been good and all but I don't intend on making it go by just like my previous ones. I failed the permit test AGAIN. waaaaa. Make doa for me. If I fail again, my dad will get realy angry. Is it even worth it, anyway? 10 hours in line so far. This place has the worst waiting lines. imagine waiting and not accomplishing anything. Munee got booted from the other testing area from racial discrimination. Pretty stupid.

Well, in other news, I read BBC and found this interesting article on India.
It reads:
"It's goodbye to Baa Baa Black Sheep and Humpty Dumpty for children in primary schools in a central Indian state."

Basically, India has problems with American literature and now reading any books will be unpatriotic to India. This includes nursery rymes and stories like, "humpty Dumpty". The question is, why doesn't India just read its own literature in the first place? If it didn't want any problems, why take in American books. I'm on the Indian side. Their ban is justified. America wouldn't want to read any of India's books anyway, would it. Nah. What's your opinion? The article is here.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/5079002.stm

Here are some other articles that say nursery rymes are propoganda to make kids desensitized to violence. Funny.

Still summer

2006-06-09T20:12:00.000-07:00

It's still the summer.. but I already feel like time is running out any sec now. One sec later, summer will end. I hate that feeling.

Lately, things haven't been going that well. I mean, I FAILED my permit. Test. The thing is, I took it again and, well, I FAILED it again. I was so depressed. We aited about 3 hours this time. I was so confident and I studied so much. Inshallah I'll pass it next time. Make doa for me.

Some things have been going well. I read THE DAY AFTER TOMMOROW. Good book. We were at a party and I was supposed to watch it, but instead, I played XB. Now I totally regret that. Looking over the way the wrld goes, The day after Tomorrow seems a complete possibility. It's pretty daunting, nauthubillah for it.

I play minesweeper, It's like super addicitive. Moone got like 15 secs on beginner time. I got 18 almost there.

Behind this *print screened pic is me blogging. Prettty kewl.

BLEACH ANIME

2006-06-01T09:11:00.000-07:00

BLEACH ANIME

the name says it all. It could be one of the coolest shows on Earth, or maybe even the coolest show. Abdu showed me it when we were surfing the web. It has this great teenage impact, especially for "lost" individuals who want to find their identity. Great action, graphics, and drama. Great Anime.

Coincidence

2006-06-01T09:00:00.000-07:00

Listen to this. Alright, we woke up 6 o' clock in the morning to go take my7 permit. We're the first nes there. there is this guy who starts talking to us about his experience in New Orleans--He had some amazing stories. One girl came out of her attic onto her roof, jumped on her floating car, and was taken to safety by boat.
Two hours pass and we are the first out of 30 people in line. I get called on and take the test. I finished the test like 10 minutes early and take my eye exam. I FAILED. and by 7 points too, you only need 6 to pass. We waited 4 hours, took two hours days before, I finally take the test and I FAILED. WHY IN THE WORLD? My dad made a pretttty big deal about it. He's really, u know, the PERFECT man. Didn't even miss one point in his test. I missed 7. Yay..... Seems like everybody expects me to be PERFECT. Well, I'm not. But it sucks that I failed.

"I failed."

Well I did. I guess I just have to lose like a winner and take it. If it was one of those screw ups; it would be this.

Still the summer

2006-05-29T20:43:00.000-07:00

Contentment is a weird thing. You really, really want something but don't know what it is. You're just thinking, "I want ths. I want that." No matter how much you got, nothing really matters unless ur content with what you have. But isn't being content having everything. It doesn't make sense. What's being content if what most being are looking for in life will not make them feel content.

In other words, summer is coming a long really nicely. Let's see. I think we played 5 sports in the past few days. Soccer, Volleyball, Basketball, and Skating. Okay, that's 4. Oh, and videogames. (that makes 5) Halo rocks!! Dad finally brought home our rail from zafar. We ripped it up--into pieces. I smithed, feebed *ugly feeb, and lipped it. Munir made a monstrosity out of it. We summarize his actions in the following teenage clause: Munir came and ANNIHILATED the rail. Feeble, blunt, lip, smith, 50-50, and krooked. Our mini skate group was there. It was thy much fun.

1st day

2006-05-27T20:47:00.000-07:00

The first day of the Summer passed, alhamdulillah. Actually, it still ddin't end yet. I feel really contented. Life is looking really bright. No tension. verything fine, still reading Qur'an, still playing outside. I am not going to waste my Summer--I hope my ACTIVE goals list works, inshallah.

So what's the first day of the eternity, we know as Summer, like? First, let's give it a new name: Square Onix Day. It sounds corney, but that summarizes a lot of it. In the beginning, I read Qur'an My family and my friends were invited to Omar's. We watched FF 7 and played Kingdom Heartz; both of Square Onix's products. They are geniouses. I would have been obsessed, had I been intro'd earlier. We played basket for a while and I babysitted heba. At home, Yasir played Halo 2. Ebrahim filmed me do a nose manual and Munir did a nollie nossie. we were about to go to the park, but that's over now. Maybe tommorow. Alhamdullilah, I felt lame when today began but i feel really good now. I wish I got that feeling of everlasting contentment back, I used to have it, I thought. I think u just have to believe in Allah more. May Allah give me back the things I need.

It's nighttime and I'm blogging. Yasir's still playing Halo with neighbor. I'm listening to Simple and Clean by Utada Hikaru. Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts, they're cool now.

I guess that ends it. See u guys and salam. *lights click off*

Let's start fresh. Um, I want to be a good skater, good soccer player, wait. wait... I'll just write down a list. Lucky for me, I have one already planned, *hint, hint*. Okay here we go.

This is what I call my ACTIVE summer goals list

1. Be active- Wake up and pray, energize! remember, laziness is lameness.
2. Study all Subjects
3. Read whole Quran
4. Memorize Al-Maidah. (hopefully) Inshallah.
5. Film a skate part. NEW FOOTAGE <-- Zafar's footage. He's awesome. I'm gonna get a part like his this summer.
6. Do 1000 push ups.
7. Read 10 novels. I'll be happy to even finish two! I don't read much these days.
8. IMPORTANT: Be a muslim. Be yourself.

Here are things I'll avoid.

-Procrastinating
-playing videogames
-spending too much TV/PC time. Like I'm doing now. ^_^
-sta.... bla bla bla
-fearing the land *skating*
-not reading Quran, books, and studying less
-Not chilling out enough
-Get wasted *the getting lazy and not doing anything*
-not finishing the novel
-not doing ANYTHING

Summer

2006-05-26T21:47:00.000-07:00

SUMMER IS HERE! SUMMER IS HERE! SUMMER IS HERE!

Starting the summer off

2006-05-26T21:42:00.000-07:00

Oh, salam. Hey guess what? Summer's here. Yeah!! *ahem. Allahuakbar. School's out. Seniors threw water balloons, I love that feeling. This is Summer.

It all begins here, I hope I don't regret it like I've regretted past summers where I'd just stay at home and couch potatoe myself. What a wimp I was! Halo, that took up so much of my life before. Now it's time for sports, outdoors, friends, and okay, sorry I had to say it, didn't I... studying. I'm thinking of taking Algebra 2 this summer. Wish me luck inshallah.

END OF THE YEAR!! 1 day left.

2006-05-25T16:00:00.000-07:00

Salamulaikum.

And now... ladies and gentlemen. the moment you've all been waiting for. It's the end of the year. Alahmdullillah . Okay, we have one more day left but still. I'm so happy, that was so quick. It was like yesterday when our school was so new. I was like, culture shocked, and now everything's done. I can't wait. It's gonna be a great summer, inshallah. Go visit Zafar, go out of town, skate park *I've wished so much to go skating this year but too many tests*. This is it, this is when it all starts.

Today was like so wierd. It was all normal in the beginning, just us getting ready for the first final exam. English class. Everything's fine. Just a regular day. We go on to the next final exam: Spanish One Test. We were smack in the middle of our test when suddenly the bell rings. No, not class bell, the fire alarm. Everyone goes outside thinking it was a fire drill. We go out for 5 minutes, that's 5 from the test, and then we storm back inside. The teachers dismiss us for lunch break. I had lunch D the whole year, but they stuck me with lunch C. Cabel and I were the only ones left of our old table. We were thinking, " where is everybody?" Back inside, I try to settle for the Spanish test. I was on number 35 when the bell rings, again!! Everyone goes outside for "fire drill" and we storm back inside. That's when we knew something was up. My teacher was so angry when we got back in. I'm like wasting so much time from the test. We settle in again and my teacher was saying how unfortunate it was for us to lose time on the test, but the fire alarm rings AGAIN. lol. It was so weird. The teacher went against the door and said, no one out! The intercom goes on someone says TEACHERS PLEASE DISREGARD THAT BELL. Senoir pranks ahahha. Many people said it was them, no one knew for sure. School ends and I finished my test. Alhamdullillah. Thank god, and yes I mean it cuz that was one of the hardest tests I've ever taken. 85 %. I'm not super proud but alhamdullillah. I was very lucky. After 2, we left school and, while we were going out, the Fire Alarm rang again. haha. What a day...

Here are some vintage pics of second last day of school.

Here's that naughty bell.

Yasir and I. Jim took the pic.

Happenings

2006-05-14T20:20:00.000-07:00

Great Weekend. Soccer for two day, skated, read books, and did all that random stuff.

I just want to talk about the books.

What if someone asks you if you had 3 weeks to live. Worse than that, your body was decaying from a deadly disease that took away all your little ittybitties that you took for granted, like walking and being able to breath right. that's what Tuesdays with Morrie was about. It was a heartbreaking story of and old professor who lost all his privelages and was going to die and how he talks about life's biggest lessons with an old student, Mitch, who's got a rich and lavish life everyone envies. It's heartwarming. I love that book. Morrie says the quotes:

"If we learn to die, then we learn to live"

"We must love one another or die!"

Another great book was the
Martian Chronicles.

I know it sounds silly. Yes, Earth's people went to Mars and started a colony there. It's really cool. Believe me. A lot of it is true. All men wants to do is see a beautiful thing and destroy it and have war. WAR on IRAQ. it rings a bell. Another thing, the story takes place in 200-2060. A NASA speaker once said, "I predict we're going to land on Mars on 2018." Well that's what he said. Oh yeah. There's this article that talks about praying in space.

Pretty cool.

Shyness. It's a strange thing.

Everyone's shy u know, in a way. We just aren't sure or too scared too admit it or don't know that we are. it's strange. I always thought I was a shy one. Then at my school, you see all these different kinds of people who are shy.

Take a goth. That one's shy cuz you know they really don't like black, they made that up and they can't fit in so they gotta fit in somewhere. so they go all whacko and end up in this one. An emo's too shy to admit their feelings and they just say they're sad and emotional most of the time; that cuts explanations short and doesn't get people mad at them. And yes, I think it's stupid cuz no one's gonna have sympathy for someone who admits his or her life sucks. So what's the point of being emo? I used to hate those guys, now I just feel sorry for them. Not cuz their lives sucks, but cuz they don't realize how much God had already given them. I have emotin too. and I'm not emo.Then you got other people, preps, nerds, normals, and the popular. Some of these that are shy show it, while others don't. Instead they hide it and let it boil in them, which sucks cuz it can cause expolsions. I've seen people flip out before.

You really gotta admit to urself that ur shy. If not, you stay shy forever. It's like the book, Tuesdays with Morrie: everythings temporary, every emotion. They don't last, cept some. the emotions we don't want seem to cling to us and to get rid of them, we do the instinctive Step Away From Them. Nope, Morrie said that's totally dumb. Stepping away makes things look bigger. We know we fear them, these emotions: love, hate, cuddlines, shyness, loneliness, belittlement. That why we do what Morrie does; We wash ourselves with this hated emotion.

Only then do we realize, it's just an emotion. I hate it anyway. No dumb emotion, go away. Or, I can deal with it. It's nothing to be afraid of.

I've seen it happen before and no...

Alahmdullillah I'm muslim. Ray Bradbury, an author, said, Faith gives the answers to all things. It really does, the doas, the things you read and also, I had a feeling that every single thing I've read had a meaning. It's like Allah wanted to show me it. I had trouble with shyness and it turns out the pages of Tuesdays with Morrie that I read the same night talked about that . Alahmdulillah. Every single thing in life, in earth, in everything... has a purpose. I've started to realise..........................

Salam.
And now......Time for the latest web news. or maybe not the latest, but anyway, here's some inetersting links.

This one's a muslim basketball team and yes, they're all girls. more inetersting is this: the are almost undefeatable. They're the LAdy Khalifs of W. Deen Mohammed High School in Atlanta. Their score: 21-1. Imagine palying basketball for for long houred games and sweating. What would it be like to play with hijabs on? Alhamdullillah this happened though, because it brought muslims into the news attention that the "muslims are terrorist" stereotype is false.

In other news, Halo 3 is making its way to the top...and it'll beat PS3 to it. Birtish and Bill Gates leaked that Hol 3 the game wil be realeased next year for the purpose of outwinning the new playstation. What a plan!

People were so mad in fact, Mr.Freeman from Half Life decided to do this!

School

2006-05-10T18:38:00.000-07:00

School was really wierd today. I felt new again, like I did at the beginning of the year. Let's see. I got a new haircut, that's new (no one cares). Then, my friend told me he would sell his autographed ball *autographed by the whole Grizzlies team* for 150$. I was like, no. No one's gonna buy that. He said, yeah. It's owrth $350 on the internet. Then he told me my english teacher, Ms.Farris was a big Grizzlies fan. I didn't know that. I was like; Cool.

Not much happened at the other classes, but when it hit Gym, something wierd happened there too. Jim and some other kids were let out of class, so they went to our Gym to play ball. It was me, Jim, and another asian versus two white guys. They looked like random nerds. They were not. we were wooped so bad, I can still feel the slash marks. Basically, they creamed us like 25-5. Something like that.

We ate lunch indoors and it made me feel really creeped out. I don't like the feeling of staying indoors. Too crowded and so many fake people around. But it was raining, we had no choice.

We came home and talked about how we got wooped and then I went to big lots to buy stuff and now I'm back home blogging. Yay. How cool. ^_^.

Nothing much

2006-05-09T16:26:00.000-07:00

salamualaikum zeebs.

Well, nothing much happened today. I shouldn't say that. am I depressed!?! Nah. I don't know. It just seems nothing much happens everyday. I guess I need one of those Inspirational events to kick-start my life again. teenage life is pretty dull..and fake. All I can do is wait for a remedy. Maybe I should read chicken soup for the soul.

Anyway, I was watching youtube the other day when I came across Are You Afraid of the Dark. I was like, man haven't seen that in years. The last time I watched it was like 1995. Oh, the memories.

And this one, in particular had the word ZEEB. lol, what a word. I can't use stop using it.

are you afraid of the dark

What about MAGIC SCHOOL BUS. So sad, they only have the theme song, but it'll do for now.

Some things for skating

2006-05-08T17:51:00.000-07:00

Skateboarding is just about one of the best hobbiest I've been in. I don't know what's so great about it, the friends, the feeling of being free, I don't know. But we got it going so good we have a team: The ACE team. How great. No really, it's getting better. It's not really a team, we just fool around.

Bismillah

this weekend's has been kind of weary. I was looking forward to it, but now I don't really know. I was stuck at the clinic for a few hours and then we went to KFC, had a party, and watched Final Fantasy. Hey, we did a lot already. Whoa. Alhamdullillah, I just realized it too while typing. I kept paying attention to my dad getting mad at me today that I forgot how good today was. I guess it's just how complete you feel. Heheh.

hmm

2006-05-05T21:50:00.000-07:00

I entered dozens, okay, just a few skateboarding prize contests where u enter a form and see if you win. I never won, but Zafar randomly sent a form online to industrial and won. All that work. gone. It was fun tho.

-Here are some art contest entries I'm really proud of.-

That's wierd

2006-05-05T18:30:00.000-07:00

bismillah
The wierdest thing happened to me a few days ago. We were taking a gateway exam at school right? I thought it was one of those lame tests, where every story you read is either boring or stupid. God, I was way off.

Some stories were about love and friebdship, which somewhat relates. Hey.... I said somewhat. Anyway, then, smack in the middle of the test was a story about a guy who hates poetry. His name was KHALID! Can you believe it. I'm not sure if it is coincidence or soemone just likes me or what. It was kind of wierd tho, cuz I love poetry and this guy hates it. At first glance I thought it was me and I nearly talked out loud. Then again to you, it's no biggie.

Another cool thing was that there were two reviews of Ray Bradbury. One had a summary of Farenhiet 451, which as u no, is my favorite book. I said, "allahu Akbar"......... in my mind. The section also talked about great RAy Bradbury was and I agreed all the way. They even quoted that line...

Clarisse:"Is it true a long time a go firemen put out fires instead of started them?"
Montag: "No, houses have always been fireproof."

Wow. Subhanallah and even after that was a story of MArtin Luther King and Freedom. I loved it, like the test was written for me. Kinda creepy too. Well, it was a good day--that was probably the best test I took.

Here's RAy's book picture.

Memphis

2006-05-03T18:22:00.000-07:00

I should have done this earlier. How's Memphis. Hm... Well, it's a unique place. Actually I should say wierd, but we'll leave it at that. It's a big city, with a lot of shops, streets, sights, etc. kind of like KC. Except lamer. I always wondered; why is everything so oldschool back here? All the songs we used to like are FINALLY popular. and the jokes. I'm not really a funny guy but not a lot of people make me laugh in memphis, cept close friends. I think the funniest guy was Nabil. Back in KC, we had a lot of funny dudes. Alaa, Ahmed, Muhammed Dinn, Muhammed Nurru *especially and all those other guys.

Something that I found really weird was high school. I had a complete culture shock from it. It's totally FAKE. fake social life, fake kids, fake jokes, fake social groups. Dude, I wish people could just be themselves. Instead they smoke weed and do drugs or something else that they're not. oh, and the EMOS. I used to hate those kind of kids and now I just ended up feeling sorry for them. They said they became that way cuz life sux. Of course life sux most of the time, but emo. People think emo gives you a sense of security--It doesn't. I just makes you something you're not. I wish I could just go to all the goths, gansters, emos, preps and all that jazz and say, "Do whatever you WANT to do not something just to fit in. If what ur doing isn't what you want, then snap out of it. Being in the "group" doesn't bring out the real you, it makes you somebody else. SO BE yourself! PLEASE!"

Aside from that, there's lots of wildlife. There's tons of frogs by the lake, misquitos the size of ur palm, flying cochraoches, and brown recluses. I am so freaked out by those. We found the first one about a week ago and I was scared ever since. The internet ssaid some kid in Nashville was killed by them. I think I have arachnophobia. Now I think I know how caleb sanborn feels. but it wore down. That's good; cuz I woke up one day and saw a misquito bite on my leg and thought I was gonna die. I was mistaken, and recluses barely kill anyway.

Here's one I squashed. (before it was bug juice that is)
