Thoughts with an empty stomach...

Time just flies by... and all you can hear is the sound of it passing by you... but that simple sound bears quite a bit to it... it tells of troubled times... There's so much going around in the world that is just bad... Man's inhumanity to man... It's sad... one on side a country's army is killing civilians on the other side rebels are killing civilians...

And God is just watching... waiting to see what choices people make... It is amazing the amount of free will God has given us... God has given his guidance... He has told us what we are supposed to do... and he gave us a brain... an intelligent brain... even with our advanced technology we are not able to equal that... but still we do not do what is right... we make choices that we should have not... I guess its in human nature not to learn from history... or from what somebody tells us... we have to do it ourselves to find out...

In any case, what benefits us is on this earth and is given to us... but we abuse it... and then we try explore outside our world... and we spend millions to explore... If only we had spent those millions in the earth... how much more could we have gotten out of it...

Oh well, as someone I heard said... "If you put an adjective before democracy... directly means a lack of democracy..." or something like that... and I quite agree with him... whether it is representative or liberal... but then again... I don't agree with democracy anyway... Personally, I think a few elite should decide the leaders... (some may say that is what happens anyway)... by elite I mean experts in their field... There should be forums of experts in all fields... they should decide which one of them should represent them and they should be restricted to their specific fields... A layman should not be the one to decide who should go in that field because he barely knows anything about that field...

I don't know if I'm making sense... I'm just exteremely hungry right now...

Hectic

It has been something these past few weeks... Things have turned up-side-down and/or all the way around...

First off, basic updates since I know some people are really wanting to hear this... A slight comment/observation before the update... It is quite interesting to see people having an arranged marriage... more interesting is when they are Muslims... You see the way it is done from what I understand, Islamically, you are allowed to see and talk to your wife once before marriage... and the rest of the info you have about that girl is hearsay... Obviously figuring out the family helps but there's a major element of mystery about the whole thing... and that I think is the perfect start to a marriage... Anyway, back to the update... Apparently this girl and my friend had a meeting and asked questions trying to find out about each other... And the outcome is that the girl's family like the guy i.e. my friend and his family... However, it is not yet official because they (i.e. the girl's family) have an extended family (i.e. girl's grandmother etc.) who have to be notified and approve of the guy's family... So essentially it will be officially hopefully in a month... or as they say, InshaAllah...

Secondly, work is getting a little more interesting because I have quite a bit of stuff to do. However, this excitement will be shortlived because the deadline for this work is next week and then I will be free like a bird again...

Thirdly, I am in dire need of hard disk space... I've got 200GB+ worth of movies and I'm out of disk space...

Fourthly, I took a GMAT test and scored low... according to my standards anyway... I had believed that my brain stopped functioning long time ago and this test proved my conviction...

Finally, its almost 4 in the morning and I have to go to sleep to be able to function well tomorrow... even though its the last day of the weekend...

Thinking is the first step to learning...
