Divided we stand, United we fall

Every now and then, people should be allowed to do something for themselves. Yesterday I did something for myself and even though I'm not sure whether it was the right decision, I pray insha'Allah it is... This is where you guys come in and do a dua for me too.. :) I dont know, I'm really not used to doing stuff for myself (ok we're talkin like big stuff.. not like eating and drinking and stuff ok!!) I think its been ages since I took a decision that had (in my mind) a somewhat positive effect on my life. Well, lets see how it goes.

So far, its been an ok ride, I know there are probably a million things I could've done differently. Plus there's tons of things I'm happy to have done. There's always room for improvement isnt there... In my case I could probably do with a lot more... hmmm... *looks at post... thinks about deleting it* I'm not sure.. my blog just isnt the same as it used to be. I really dont get the bloggy feeling. I dont know, I think I've lost it... or has it lost me? *looks at last sentence...* naah.. too shakespearean.. in my ermmm.. whack sorta way.

Has anyone noticed I've been writing nothing but mindless dribble for the past 2 paragraphs.. juss goes to show what state me noggin is in these days... ahh.. we can only pray cant we?

*Looks at watch* Hmmm.. just past 12... So i'm officially 24 now... oh well..

To Blog... Or not to Blog... Bah.. I think I'll go have some choc chip cookies instead!

Ok so I couldnt come up with a better title.. deal with it yo!!

Hmmm.... Man somethings in life you're just not prepared for. One moment you may be on a happy high, sorta like a weed high only without the intoxicating effects... (not that i'd know what a weed high feels like *innocent look*). I'm kidding people... Cigarettes is the worse it gets.. anyways, coming back to the story (anyone notice how I always get side-tracked when i'm telling a story??? I juss did). I mean I was like yay cool man, Alhamdulillah things mite be looking up for once. And then BAM! Things just went belly up. Well ok I'm making it sound like something bad happenned, which it didnt necessarily, but like it wasnt the most entertainning experience either (Obviously I cant say what it was). Its just weird what this world is coming to...

Apart from that... Its been pretty cold down here in good ol' London Masha'Allah. Especially yesterday and today... Ok ok I know it's gonna be a whole lot colder in some remote corner of Tora Bora or something (Sorry Tora bro, no pun intended there) :) but I feel cold here and thass le line du bottom!!

Anyways, since I have nothing better to do right now so I'm gonna go hit the sack.. then I'll hit it a few more times, and once I'm sure its dead... i'll sleep on it! :)

JUMP!

Another day, not much different from yesterday, or the day before. But Alhamdulillah atleast I can say I did get the chance to live it. Havent been feeling very well these days... no physical ailements Alhamdulillah... just a lot of thinking as to where I'm going and what I'm doing... (and the rest of the drabble that a person in my position would go on with).. I'll skip the booring parts...

Went to Sainsbury's to pick up some bread for Amma and the artery clogging product which many people are trying to ban in the UK. For the people who have seen the ads on TV against them, it aint a pretty sight and yet it goes on eh... (wait a sec I'm going off topic here.... *screeching sound of tires and 180 degree turn*) ok back to the topic. So I hobble on back to the car, get in and uncharacteristically put on my seat belt before starting the car, put the stereo head into place, quick glance at the mirror. Turned the key to switch on the engine and I hear a women scream with fright. Looked around and the woman, who was gonna get into the shiny Mercedes next to me, apparently had no idea I was in the car and the sound of the car starting frightened her. I rolled down the passenger side window and said sorry... (even though I was laffing like crazy inside). She just smiled and said dont worry. Heheheheee... how little things amaze me. Oh well....

I've recently finished Need for Speed : Underground... Think I'm gonna try it online now... anyone interested in a bitta one on one racing lemme know... Am currently playing Simpsons : Hit and Run... hillarious game.. anyone who's bored outta their minds definitely has to try this. Admittedly it can get boring after a while but it's fun for the first hour or so.

Can anyone tell I'm lost as to what to say... oh well... Tomorrows Juma.. so Juma Mubarak to you people.. and here's something for y'all to bear in mind....

A kind word of forgiveness is better than charity accompanied by insults. God is self-sufficient and merciful.

-Qur'an, Al-Baqara, Surah 2:263
