http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/war

My definition:

War:
noun;
a complete waste of time, lives and metal.

Ive just watched Pearl Harbor. Its a pretty good movie, but sad. Ive just realized much war sucks.

Seriously, bombing a Pacific paradise at 7.00 am and losing 1300 lives, and not to mention sleep, over it, is a big deal. I mean why cant we all just get along? Why do people have to fight?

i suppose its just the way of the world. Its a food chain. We all want to be on the top. so we kill the competition, and rule the world for ourselves. but is there really any point?

Now to answer that, we have to get to the heart of the point. How did world war 2 even start?

well one day, on 1st of September 1939, some guy named Adolf Hitler and his cliche of Nazis declared war and attacked Poland without warning. Why? because apparently the Polish raided a little radio station in Germany. But the Polish didn't do it. the Germans pretended and staged it. This crazy Hitler guy just wanted to start a fight, because he didn't have enough territory and he needed $33 billion to repair all the damage done in World War 1. Well dude, you wouldn't have to repair anything if you just accepted that most people weren't blue eyed and blond haired!

and so the stupid war began.

By September 3rd, Britain and France were at war with Germany and within a week Australia, New Zealand, Canada and south Africa had also joined thew war. America was (i think) the last to join the war by bombing bit of Japan (The Doolittle Raid).

But others say it started with Japan invading Manchuria, a state in China in late 1931. But the actual invasion of China began in 1937. Japan wanted to take over Asia and the Pacific. The US didn't like this idea, so they stopped trading with Japan. so since they didnt have enough supplies to last them even 2 years, they bombed Pearl Harbor to keep the Air Force out of Japans way. Unfortunatly they did it 30mins before actually proclaiming they were gonna bomb Pearl Harbor, and so Honolulu wasnt ready for an attack. apparently Admiral Yomamoto, who lead the Japanese fleet, regretted this fact.

in the end, The war stopped with the use of godforsaken nuclear weapons and more than 60 million are dead and most of Europe and Asia were down to dust.

Ok so back to my ani-war ramblings. Sheesh!! If people cant just live in their own space and let the others live aswell, how the hell are we ever gonna live peacefully? So much time and money and people gone to waste over some guys who wants a bigger palaces and power.

if i had my way, i would stop the other stupid war in Iraq and wherever there is a war, and make a huge fire and chuck all the tanks and bombs and guns and nuclear weapons, melt them down and make a huge spaceship and explore the universe. and for every gun thrown into my Big Bad Fire there would a tree planted, so as to counter the carbon emmisions coming from it. Then we'll all join hands and eat Biriyani and muffins and thank Allah for what he has given us, then plant a few more trees and eat more Biriyani and my retarded muffins. Also all the countries in the world will help the other countries who dont have enough money to live properly.

See? Ive got it all planned out.




::::....::::....Ahem Ahewm. Im really sorry if theres anything wrong in my Quaker speech about war, like maybe the dates or something, and if u could give me a message if they are so i can correct them. thanks for reading! Anyways watch Pearl Harbor, its a good movie.....:::::.....:::::

FanFiction.com

I saw my friend Amina, from Minaret, a few weeks ago at Huntingdale mousque and we started talking.

Me: "So, Whatcha doin' with your life?"
Anima: "Oh nothing much. Im writing fanfiction"
Me: "Whats that?"
Amina: "Oh its when- " *Proceeds to explain what is fanfiction*
Me: *Listening with confounded fascination*

so Im gonna explain what is fanfiction.

Have you ever wondered what happens after you read a book, watch a movie, or played a game? Even watched a whole series of Anime?

Fanfiction is for you.

Fanfiction is a genre of writing, that makes up a story with the characters, or setting, or plot of a book, movie, anime or game.

For Example:

Harry Potter: You can make up anything. in fact there are just so many stories (364,796 actually and more obviously at other sites) its amazing. there are so many stories because of the "Next Generation". You know, Harry and Ginny's sons and Ron and Hermoine's daughter Rose and Malfoys son Scorpius. there are a huge heap of pairings, mostly roseXscorpius and some are just ridiculous. Like Rose getting Pregnant!!!! Its crazy, but people still write it. Also i read one about Draco Malfoy being GAY with Harry Potter....It just made me choke. but its funny.

Twilight: I know everyone loves this book, and the series still isnt finished (Just don't stop writing Stephanie!!!), but people have written thousands
(29,405) of fanfics on this. In some of them Edward is actually human!!! In some of them Bella gets pregnant!!! (sheesh whats up with the whole pregnant thing man) Its just totally crazy. But some of them are really good.

Naruto: Naruto is meant to be with Hinata, but some of the fanfics are totally out of whack. Like Naruto and Ino, and Naruto and TenTen, even Naruto and Rock Lee!!!! I was rolling on the floor laughing. just imagine that. anyways i was totally freaked out, but i read some and i suppose they were good, but the thing is i havent finished watching the series, so cant be bothered.


ok i'm getting lazy now, so please just check it out. There are just so many, for so many books and movies and etc, you'll find what you like, coz there are some exceptionally talented writers out there and it'll make your eyes pop, and wish it was a real book.

hey.

Even you can write your own fanfic. About anything. Gossip Girl, She's The Man, Alex Rider, Bleach, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Holes, Your own version of a classic fairytale. Seriously its up to you. I think the main point of having Fanfiction, is to express yourself and let your imagination go absolutely WILD. the more wild, the better.


so go crazy. have fun. read!!!!

Would You Invite the Prophet (S) to YOUR house???

okey. so assuming that our beloved Prophet (pbuh) knows everything that we have in the modern world (u know: TV, stereos, posters etc..), he (or some other honorable pious dude/ette) suddenly rocks up to our house expecting to be invited in and treated as a guest. Would u do it? Ofcourse, any sane Muslim would!!!!!! But think again, if u dont his frown to fall upon your belongings.

Seriously, u have to think, is our houses the type you would invite someone mega-religious to? its an interesting question if u think about it. The Prophet (pbuh) himself didnt like all things expensive and stylish, though it is not notallowed [i need to rephrase that lol!!], and lived a very simple and humble life. He was presented a choice between having mountains of gold at his disposal, but he chose to "be hungry one day, so i may be patient, and eat the next, so i may be grateful" (something to that effect).

Having Posters of celebrities and singers and bands are ok if u dont know the significance of what it means. but now I'M gonna tell you, so then it wont be ok, and you'll see everything from an objectuve point of view. ok, well, lets say u buy Girlfriend, and OMG!!! a poster of Justin Timberlake or Avril Lavigne or Rihanna or LinkinPark or some model or celebrity. wow. well posters are meant to be put up on a wall, arnt they??? so u put it up, and every night before u go to sleep, u see their plastic smile, and for some reason it make u smile as u go to sleep. well anyways, u see that picture everyday, and suddenly your whole wall starts filling up with all these people youve never met, and you stare at them everyday, and your friends do to and so on and so forth. you would think that, its a kind of obsession.....

and when it come to obsession there are many things.

Like tv. sitting on the same chair or sofa, at the same time, for a particular day, watching that episode of Supernatural or Neighbours, like your life depends on it. and it kinda does coz, if u dont watch that Tv show, all ur friends will be talking about "OMG, Dean looked so hot in that scene!!" or "i Cant believe shes preganant" and u'll be sitting like a monkey, having no idea. isnt that a kind of obsession. worship? [NOOOOOOOOO...........]

Even a computer. When you download, "Age Of Empires", or "F.E.A.R" or put Runescape to your desktop, and play it every single day, Every hour, every minute, with only toilet breaks and prayer breaks, now thats what I call OBSESSION. Its bad for your health too, for goodnesssake!!! And those are the type of games you can play forever and ever (unless you cheat)............. ????

now having hobby which your obsessed with is not bad. but there are more important things in life. more important things to worship.

Can u guess?

so back to the point. the Sheikh of the local mousque knocks on the door, while you were watching TV, while listening to some "Low" on full volume, and u see him through the window. *gasp!!!* and hes waiting.........
u quickly turn of the TV (we wouldnt want him watching Big Brother would we?) turn off the damned stereo (or listening to: "Give that Big booty a smack"), hide all the pictures (And you have millions of em, all crowded everywhere), wear something reasonable (coz lets say you were wearing shorts), and take a deep breath, and open the door.
"Assalamu-alaikum, sorry i couldnt open the door fast enough i had to uh.."
And you realise he's not even there. suppose it took to long stashing the photos.

so think about it. make your house something you would be proud to invite the religious peeps, even the Prophet (pbuh)! it'll be worth it, coz if you take away that huge 15" plasma the living room will look a lot less crowded.and those photos. also if u took down those posters, u'll feel a lot less obsessofied. keep the computer ofcourse, because if you dont, you wont be able to read my crazy rantings!!!

::...:::....::Im sorry if i offended anyone or anything, this is just my point of view on stuff, and by the way you have to a muslim if you wanna understand how important the Prophet (pbuh) is and seriously, im really sorry if i hurt ur feelings but this is a blog and its freedom of speech, so comment if u like and i'll reply. but no hatemail please!!!::......:::.....::

i got this idea from my art teacher Mrs. Shokria. thanks!!!
and also i got the tv and comp thing from this video on youtube: Being a Muslim Teen in America, or a video made by the same guys, something. its really good, watch it.

thanks for reading!!
