Life's a Beach

Sooo I just got back from the beach! We tried out this board thing for the first time, it was interesting.. mostly the waves just enveloped us and we tried not to drown. It was fun tho, I tell you.. AND we saw wild Spanish mustangs (horses for all o' y'all). It was interesting, they just live out in the wild with the people there, roaming around in the locals' backyards. ANYHOW my whole family is black now (we were wearing spf 50, I don't know what happened) hopefully we're still recognizable.

We had to come back smelling of throw up tho.. Luqman had an "accident" in the backseat. Gross.

Oh yeah, and I graduated a few weeks past... I just thought I'd say it.

Hell Hath No Fury

What is it with women? I mean, I am one of them.. but still! They're psycho!
Take Hillary Clinton, an entirely arbitrary example who clearly did not inspire this post in any way. The woman is trying to convince everyone she's got it under control- but nooooooo! She doesn't! She is probably one of the most vindictive, manipulative people around. I honestly think the one thing that keeps her waking up in the morning is the thought that she might get what she thinks she deserves for standing by her scummy hubby: the presidency. She was so bitter at losing the nomination she couldn't even bring herself to admit Obama had won it. Obama, on the other hand, was making gracious comments like "Our party and our country are better off because of her". Oh well, she just made herself look bad going out; I hope she isn't planning on running again because if she can't bow out of the race with grace and dignity, how does she expect to be able to handle all the stresses of presidency?

The fairer sex turns out to be.. the psychoer sex.
Meh, I can live with that!

Why do we love period dramas?

It's not just me; hordes of girls are obsessed with period dramas (men are too they just like to deny it.. I swear I saw my dad looking intently at the screen while we were watching P&P one time..he pretended to look away when we glanced back at him, I KNOW it). In fact, we have a little period drama gang of our own over here, and I refuse to believe that we are the only ones. HELLO have you seen Jane Austen Book Club? It's an entire movie based on people obsessed with period dramas.
But why? For us, it's simple: your average costume drama has your strong willed heroine (girls love this, guys don't like this if they are insecure weirdos), good looking British hero (CF and RA; need I say more?), wit, humor, sarcasm, good conversation (life would be pretty dull without it), gross misunderstandings (who hasn't had a couple of those?), and, after the girl very artfully rejects the boy because of some small defect in character, his love for her eventually leads to a complete metamorphosis into the perfect man and they live happily ever after. THIS is every woman's dream. To have a man change just for her even after she rejected him, just out of pure love and dareIsayit just a vain hope that she *might* see him for who he actually was from the beginning. Women, in the end, just want to know that they can control you, because otherwise how can they trust you? So you have to end up making the ultimate sacrifice: your pride, which is like either the penultimate or ultimate sin anyhow so really they are just trying to save you from jahannam. So men, there you go. The truth comes out.
But I mean, coming from us, or me, rather, just overall it reinforces our ideals. I mean, period dramas are mostly halal, they show your typical two parent family structure and kids, average middle class families, the mothers are all consumed with getting their daughters married.. WAIT this is my life!!
Yeah...

So yay for period dramas!

Hey Y'all

Salams All,
So this is what, about the fourth time I've started up something blog-typish? Or fifth? I dunno. But all of them were for dumb reasons; one of them was for a project and one was a family blog or something.. so hopefully I'll stay faithful to this one! Anyhow I'd like to say thank you to all my readers, and my fans, and... FINE it's not the great American novel, but how can anything I say not be entertaining ;)
Wasalam all!
