New shitBarack Obama was inaugurated yesterday -- WOOOO good for him. I still gotta watch Jon Stewart's coverage on that, lol.
So what's new? Nothing much. I'm just super busy. I find myself at school doing extra curricular shit, I find myself at home doing hw, or just messing around in photoshop, wasting my time chatting on aim, and actually learning illustrator! FUN STUFF, I'm telling you. I made a shirt-- actually TWO-- shirt designs which insha'Allah will be printed soon enough under my own title "reignfive." In the process of getting the shirts and finding out a decent printer with quality and an affordable price (remember this shit is going out of my own pocket). If need comes to need, and the bounty of supply and demand, where me being the supplier, comes true, then I'll end up having the Muslim Students Association print it out for me, and we can use it on a fundraiser, or the like. I'll probably put a condition where maybe 5%-10% of the funds go to me, not bad dealing at all. Lucky for them I'm not a greedy bastard.
I got a job yesterday as well. The day before I was noodling around on craigslist because, since my two brothers work, my fam was on my ass about me getting a job. So i call this dentist office bc they need a graphic designer (the man claimed full time, but initially what happened is that I got hired and he accepted my part time status as a student, and being one himself [studying law and bio] understood my situation). He wants to give me hourly wages, and I wont argue with that, hourly wages ain't bad. If you guys can suggest around what wage a graphic designer makes per hour, that would be great. I honestly have no clue.
I'm getting involved.
Involved in random Islamic organizations, and I have to say they're fairing me pretty damn well. I learn a lot, I do a lot, but it's all for the good. It's the intention that counts anyway.
Till next time, Friends.
Im outty.
Well, I first heard about Islam in the news when I was very young, probably about seven or eight years old...all they said was very bad things about Islam then. They never showed any of the wonderful things about Islam on the news...ever. They just showed the extremists and groups like the Taliban that don't actually follow Islam. Then last year in school they briefly went over Islam in world history class...I thought it was pretty interesting and being the knowledge seeking type of person I am, I wanted to learn a lot more about the religion to see if all the bad things so many people said were true about Islam. Then my friend at school converted a few months ago and lent me the Qur'an [though in English, so not the REAL Qur'an] and the Hadith. Well, I really liked all that I had read and found out through researching Islam on the internet. I also asked my other few Muslim friends tons about their religion...I liked everything they said about Islam also. I thought about it for quite a long time before acting...Islam seemed to fit me much better than Christianity ever did and I truly thought it was the right path for me. I was raised Christian [Lutheran, specifically], right? But I always sort of had trouble believing that Jesus was God. I still definitely don't believe it, lol...I like Islam because it's monotheistic [seems a lot more focused], more structured, it focuses on helping others, and you know what? Women seem to have a lot of rights under Islam...I don't think most people see that.
So my friend's family took me to the masjid to say the shahadah on the first of February of this year. Haha, I remember I was soo nervous at first...but after awhile being there, I felt better since everyone was so nice to me. The mother also lent me soo many hijabs...so I am definitely eternally grateful to them for helping me so much!
My parents really don't like all this. They think Islam oppresses women. My father says he doesn't want me to be treated like property by any man...Now Islam seems to be a forbidden topic in my household...
Today I am so glad to have finally found the truth and the light...and I am so much happier because of it...Nonetheless, I still have a LONG way to go! Haha...I have so much to learn and I am thankful for all the sisters on myspace and other sites willing to help me!...Inshallah, I will one day though with great effort, time, but most of all, faith in Allah (swt).

there's been a great deal of discussion, yes, about the properties of man. Animal or angel? You were carved from bone, but your heart it's just sand.

If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did.
