The Weather is Falling

It's the second week of September and we can already feel and smell Autumn in the air! I love this time of year; when we put away our shorts and bust out our sweaters/cardigans. I love this season, it always makes me feel so nostalgic for Autumns past. I remember every Fall season since 2003 so vividly. I remember all of the songs that made up those times, my different circles of friends I've had and all of the good memories. Autumn is such an interesting season; the changing of the colors is brilliant and beautiful. It's hard to classify a season as a "new beginning" but if I had to choose one to serve as that, it would definitely be this one. These are a few things I look forward to the most: caramel apple ciders, espresso beverages in general, plaid shirts, wearing boots again, long coats, cardigans and that char-like smell in the air. I look forward to a new start, a new beginning with the changing of the season!

The Beauty of Brotherhood in Islam

Last night I went to the Masjid to help be part of a youth program that links middle school kids to high schoolers to college kids. Then I met up with someone who was helping me land a job in the IT field. He was teaching me the basics of IT security that I need to know for interviews. Afterwards, we prayed Isha and I was about to head out buy saw a friend who is still in high school. I know his older brother and asked about him. He told me that his brother was at a halaqa and that I should go. I asked how he was getting home and he said he needed a ride so I happily offered one. I said that I was hungry so I was going to get some food on the way back. His brother then called me when I was nearing the drive through saying that there is food at the persons house he was at and that we should come by. We arrived and to my amazement, there were about 15 brothers barbecuing chicken, hot dogs, burgers and kabobs. I felt bad showing up like that but as soon as I walked in, I ...

Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous

People want to be rich, it's a given fact. Even if you aren't materialistic or shallow, I am confident that every single person wants to be wealthy if for nothing else, so that they can life comfortably. The wealthy/rich people tend to have more fun in their lives; what does their life consist of? A lot of parties, alcohol, probably drugs and sex. They have disposable income so it's easy for them to attain all of these things. I am sure doing these things and having that lifestyle is fun but it's one of those things that you get tired of. I strongly believe that the rich have a social responsibility to be the 'good examples.' Now wealthy people are stereotyped, they are shown to have big and clean homes, listen to classical music, dress properly, etc., these are the good things that lifestyle brings. The problem arises when life is all about having fun with your money and living life like it's one big party. The more money you have, the more good you should...

The Re-invention

Here we go. I used to blog a little bit on MySpace but stopped using that and Facebook 'Notes' counts as a simple blog but I wanted something independent from my other social networking sites. I thought about blogging if I moved back to California but living on the west coast is a distant thought, something that may never come to fruition and that's okay. So where do we begin? My life has been so unpredictable since I moved back home to Virginia in August of 2009. For several months, I was so angry and so frustrated at my failures. I moved to California hoping to start over new there but I made a lot of the same old mistakes which resulted in me not going to the colleges I had worked so hard to go to. Living there was a changing experience, one that really opened my eyes to a different world. I have many regrets there but I learned from my decisions. Just over one year ago at this time, things changed. I found a reason to genuinely be happy again. Actually, I was happier th...
