Assalaam Alaikum all...

Sorry i aint been around again.. I know i'm being a bit slow on the postin'.. (not that I think the 2 people who actually come on here must've really noticed) but still, apologies to all... Hmmm.. lets see.. oh yeah... cool thing happenned yesterday... Remember how i said i got a cheque from the tax office for overpaid taxes being returned... well, went to the bank yesterday morning to get it deposited... Now it was early morning when walked into the bank half asleep, paid my CC bill and then handed the the cheque over to the woman behind the counter... She looks at me like I juss landed from Mars or something and goes, "could you hand me one of those pay-in slips from behind you so i can fill it out and deposit this cheque in your account... " (ok ok.. she wasnt rude at all, she smiled and asked very very politely) Obviously she noticed i was spazzed out from lack of sleep so she was all nice and actually offered me a cup of coffee... I declined, signed the stuff i needed to and split... Next i went to the Barber shop.. and my barber goes.. Usman you're in early.. you never walk in this time.. something wrong.. I was like nahh.. juss wanted to get some stuff sorted at the bank before Juma.. He goes oh bankk??? so we're getti'n the whole schkaboodle today eh.. I was like hold ur horses dude (why do we use that phrase when probably 1% of the world's population actually own horses!??)... Then he looks me over top to bottom and goes.. 'dude. whass with the get up??' (so he didnt use the word dude).. i'm like whaaa??? he goes u got some sorta ghetto immigrant Albanian rapper kinda thing going on... (now there's a characterisation i've never heard before)... oh and in between conversation he goes to me.. hold old are you... i'm like guess... he sez 28.. I juss got up from the chair and said dude u aint gettin' no money for the haircut today!!! (He juss added on 22 years to my age man.. aint no joke!!!)

Anyways... on another note... (mad topic transition skillz i have dont i??) I've put up some views of mine here... Have a look and lemme know.. I'll b updatin' soon cuz i've got a coupla other things i wanna put on but juss havent had the time to do so right now...

Shoot to thrill So I just finished watching Inception (yes I know I am only a year or so behind the times). I took the plunge today with a full understanding (or so I thought) of the concept of the movie and what to expect. Oh Em Geeee... was I in for a shock and such an excellent one at that. A brilliantly executed idea and thankfully, for once, an original one. I have to say I cant remember the last time I watched a movie which wasnt a sequel, prequel, reboot or connected to some other movie idea/concept in some way, shape, form or aspect. Yes it can be argued it goes into the augmented reality side of things which has been used many times before but this is a very refreshing take on the genre. I like how the movie asked or answered questions that were popping into my head as I watched the movie (yes even though I do prefer the no brainer movies, but I do like to keep an inquisitive mind). One thing I couldnt believe is how the guy out of Third Rock from the sun actually pulled off a...

Friends As much as the title may sound like it relates to the TV series of the same name, this post has nothing to do with the over-the-hill-trying-to-be-funny-while-making-twats-of-themselves sitcom. Its about friends, the real ones. Now, I have to be honest here (not that I'm usually not honest) but I've been a bit of a skeptic of the friends-for-life cliche. Admittedly there are cases where it has happenned but its not as common as people might think it. I have a handful of friends who I know have made an impact on my life but dont think I'll always be in contact with. Nothing new there, its all part of life. Even though most people who know me refuse to believe tihs, but I'm a huge skeptic (Ok you're all probably wondering why I'm babbling on like this, so we'll randomly skip to the next paragraph and I'll tell you). 2 days ago I was talking to a friend who I shared a house with at one point in Cyprus. Quite a few of my friends in Cyprus ...

Paint it black Self pity in the world of make believe (or TV to you and me) is such an awesome tool for one to attain one's goals. There is always a character who is in the depths of despair and yet one simple act (usually by the antagonist in most cases) turns out to be the pivotal point where said character shrugs off the shackles of the self imposed desolation to go on and achieve the impossible (in the case of Indian movies, often defying the laws of physics on the way to overcoming said impossibility). Side note, I am only saying that based on the stereotypical views I have of Indian movies. In the real world however, self imposed despondency is much tougher to shake off. And in the case of an evergreen pessimist such as yours truly, it really does become a struggle (I just realised I started the last sentence with an And... tsk tsk... the shame!). There really is no simple solution, compounded more so by a feeling of loneliness that arises when one's immediate family is i...
