Rock and Roll or Hip Hop for you?

Yet another rap artist raps his way on the radio just enjoying running my beautiful day and I just couldn’t imagine how the hell someone would request such a song! Then there at that second my mind began drifting away to the idea of a scientific explanation to our musical taste. I have always believed that our surroundings influence the songs we listen to yet is there any scientific explanation to it?, Its interesting how a person taste in food is due to peoples different amount of taste buds yet their taste in music has not yet to be proven scientifically.

EID is knocking on our door

I Wish everyone a very happy EID =)
hope it is filled with many joyous memories.

With that in mind, enjoy my new playlist!

Emotions taking over me

As Anna Naliacks song breathe plays in the background, My Emotions engulf me. I'm Tired, tired from all the studying and from all the workload that i ever endured in my life time (I am well aware my life time is not measurable to most people). I'm Excited, I cant wait to enjoy staying up late to watch TV and go out with my friends, I wanna enjoy all the little things. I'm Happy by next semester I'll be considered a senior in university and that feels great! yet I'm sad, becuase this eid is actually one of the loneliest eids ever. *sighs*
I think I need to sleep.

To Critical? Maybe? No? YES?

Well I was one day having a decent conversation with a person in university and I found out the person stopped drinking coffee due to its "side effects" excuse my stereotypical views but i could never imagine someone at the mid range age of 20 and American boycotting any sort of coffee. I joked about how my addiction to coffee could kill me and i promise you it was said in a "sarcastic" tone not in a "I'm-A-very-Depressed-person" tone and I laughed just to make it CLEAR it was a joke. The next words out of the persons mouth was "you better", I waited just in case i would hear a laugh or something to feel it was intended to be a joke but there was silence..and just to put the icing on the cake the person completed it with a glare.
Am I paranoid to think this person would want me dead? We barley speak to each other except on rare occasions when I'm obliged to work with that person.
help me out here ?

Just like kids

I have to admit I was one of them, the many, who during university complained about not having enough events or not getting the American experience one needs in an American University. I decided there needs to be change and hence I decided to be active, to help change this idea and that’s where I noticed there were a lot out there just like me who do the same but have no voice heard, wait let me rephrase that, students out there speak out but no one wants to hear, just like little kids they close their ear and scream and complain. Why is it students complain for the lack of events but when we do make events they barley show up, I know for a fact that this is only from our university some universities don’t even have that problem. I just wish people would cooperate more than they usually do and try to make this university experience as much fun as they could.

I have to say it isn’t all fun but the end results are great, its not just something for you to put on your CV but to put down in you memories, seriously their will be times you will think back and laugh at it all and might even miss it a tinsy bit. I know that through this experience I got to meet a heck of a lot of nice people.

Wheres the fine line?

I have come to accept that that day of our death has been long set by God. It was what our Islamic scholars and our teachers have preached for long before I was even born. It is a belief that our prophet Mohammed (PBUH) taught us Muslims to accept because there is no running away from death.

Yet where is the fine line between saying death is in the fate of God or is a human error?

So let me paint a little scenario, I decided that everything is in God’s fate so I throw myself into a tank of Sharks! Great so let’s see if it’s my time to die today, if I live well golly its not my time to go. Although this idea is a bit crazy and farfetched, let me explain my point before everyone thinks I’m some sick freak who’s intentions are to jump into a pool of sharks (trust me it’s the LAST thing in mind)

Recently my grandmother passed away from suddenly awaking short of breath, the ambulance took half an hour to reach her putting in mind this was around 1 30 Am (traffic? Highly unlikely!) To make things worse the oxygen tank in the ambulance didn’t even work.

Such a simple procedure could have saved her life but it is “in Gods hands” right? WRONG! The fact is our health care system disgusts me because of my family history with hospitals. I cannot say they haven’t saved lives but for the past 6 deaths that have occurred to my close relatives 3 of them (including my grand mother) died due to wrong medication, an operation that resulted to death and the ambulance being late, that’s 50%. I sometimes believe the way we use “Gods hands” is a way to console our hearts yet I believe people shouldn’t stop there and bury their beloved, they should have their voices heard! Such accusations would pressure ambulances and hospitals to have better facilities. I just don’t want people to go through the pain of loosing the ones they love.

I don’t doubt that there are improvements and a 100% chance of keeping people alive is highly unlikely. I do understand that this is a tough job to work as but to see that this isn’t the first time it disturbs me. I do believe it’s in Gods hands but that does not mean we turn our heads to human faults. these are things that I believe the government should emphasize on, a better health medical system. I don’t think I’m the only one with these thoughts in mind or maybe my family is unlucky.

"Where thou shall work!??"

Today marks quite an important day to most AUD students*drum rolls* ,our spring semester schedule is out! and my goodness it looks quite horrible at the moment. on the good note I'll be attending university 3 days in a week only rather than 5 but when it comes to exams and projects they would most probably be the same day. *screams loud*
A colleague of mind raised an interesting question, As i was looking through my requirements for my marketing major I subconsciously set my eyes on Public Relations thinking it would be a much better course to help me in the route i take in the future. so my colleague was surprised and said " YOU ACTUALLY THINK THE SUBJECTS THROUGH PUTTING IN MIND YOUR CAREER OPTIONS??" I didn't have to think of it twice and said yes. I felt that PR and Marketing were quite related subjects, i saw it more useful of a subject to me than service marketing.
As the university students main subject of the day didn't fade out another colleague of mine were having a conversation when she asked me " where do you see yourself working in the future?", With all confidence I opened my mouth and soon realized no words were coming out of it!
At that moment I realized I always though i had everything planned in my head I was so caught up in the fact that i will head towards an MBA degree never did i realize I never thought were i would want to work. After five minutes of pure silence my answer was " Advertising agency?!??" I guess those five minutes were no help.
I wouldn't mind working in an advertising agency but where do i really see myself working in, Gosh I'm still thinking it through and for some reason i cannot see myself work in a cubicle.
Time to think things through!

What about pride?

It comes to no surprise to anyone who knows me that I lack the appropriate grammar to help make what I’m actually saying comprehensible.

So I’ll try to lessen the “grammatical” errors and make my very first post easier to understand (soon you’ll notice my writing will deteriorate into a 5^th grader essay, I’m just warning you from now!)

I’ve realized recently through a close friends experience that ones own pride could eat you up and kill you slowly. Pride is a clearly a sin so evil it can divide a nation if it must.

I don’t understand why people especially in this region view pride of more of an importance than being humble. They would rather let themselves break down, get hurt instead of risking their pride. I do understand that every circumstance is different than the other but why do people find it absolutely impossible to come down off their high chair and say their sorry and try to work things out, Wouldn’t it have been better if they resolved the problem rather than build up all that anger inside? Another thing that absolutely irritates me is pride of ones ethnic routes or nationality, I joke about it and I’m proud of it but I don’t drive it to the extreme of “you’re either with me or against me”. Ethnocentrism is so apparent in many different way I sometimes ask myself how does someone who calls themselves educated be part of this beliefs, even before the word “ethnocentrism” was coined the prophet Mohamed PBUH said there was no difference between us then why do believers follow some of the beliefs not all, ( I do understand were all humans and we bound to make mistakes , I am one not here to judge) It irritates me to the core.

I just wish people were more humble and realize that you don’t know how long we all will live, you could die tomorrow and then all this resentment and anger that you hurt yourself on earth isn’t going to help you in the after life.

So be humble, it’s the best trait anyone could ever have.
