72 virgins!

This is a very very HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE topic(literally), and i would normally NEVER indulge in religious debate..but sometimes, when the situation asks, i feel keeping my mouth shut and opinions muted doesn't help anyone!
Hence...

People who are not very educated about other religions (not that i'm saying i'm educated enough about religions-let alone even mine) but those people who are completely illiterate about
different religions, make the common mistake of believing that the Holy Quran teaches its followers to strap on explosives and blow themselves along with infidels up, in order to get a ticket straight into heaven.

These followers in turn are promised/rewarded 72 black haired virgins.

Therein lies the common misconception- Both on the part of those illiterate many, and on the part of the foolish brainless muslims, who believe this absurd promise.

(for the brainless)
Firstly, in the Holy Book, the word used is 'Houri', which has alot of meanings, and can also be translated to mean Angels..(yes i did my research- im not giving out sweeping statements)
Therefore, 72 Angels will minister to the departed/Martyrs in heaven.. And NO nowhere does it say that the word minister has to have any sexual connotation!!! (one track minded world i tell you!) So basically the brainless fools who believe this..i would like to ask you..SERIOUSLY is that ALL you think about/want out of life..72 virgins? SERIOUSLY...you are willing to end your life for THAT...
ALSO id like to divert for a second to the feminist in me, and ask the questions that iv been dying to ask...what about women? Do they get 72 male-virgins? Do they get ANY virgins? Do they get Anything?

(for the illiterate many)
Secondly, terrorists/extremist organisations dedicated to trying to teach the rest of the world a lesson (but actually harboring serial killer/psychopath tendencies) indoctrinate their primarily illiterate trainees into believing that their suicide and killing of infidels will be the path to heaven.
There is no such statement in the Holy book.
Its quite the peaceful book, advocating understanding and tolerance!!!

I'm not a very religious person, and neither am i that well-read when it comes to my own religion(sadly). But i do know that NO religion intends to destroy the rest of the human race and urges murder.
i am extremely against hate/violence/murder(of any living thing-except lizards-but thats another post)
All we need is Love-seriously!
(this will probably be one of my very few posts on religion..because it HAD to be said)

..MushaBoo...do you think its kind of wrong to write BOOM after this post..hahahha
MUSHABOOM!!!

How Big is Yours?

Plato, Aristotle and Darwin had BIG ones;
Pythagorus had a looong one;
Santa Clause had a thick one;
Sean Conery has a well trimmed one;
and Gerard Butler has a Perfectly sized one one..




Wait...what exactly are you thinking im talking about?
BEARDS OFCORSE!... One track minds-i swear!!

Facial hair has been there since the time men were Apes..well theyr still Apes but scientists today feel we shouldnt call them that incase we hurt their ity-bity feelings..hence we resort to the name A-holes,Barbarians, sexy mothafakaaas..and ofcorse human beings!

Personally im a big fan of facial hair...(that is well tamed) im not one for clean shaved men..i LOVE the out of bed (gerard butler, Robert Pattinson type), hasnt shaved for a day or two look..but then again iv noticed, facial hair, and the men who adorn it, comes in different phases..

• The pubescent straggly strands..gross..Puberty-what a sick time for everyone! looks more like independent hairs extending from the inside of your nose onto your upper lip..Not a good look for anyone..unfortunatly the Chinese have to live with it all their lives (i joke-no offense-but true life)
  
  
  
• Post Pubescent..uber-cool stubble..my personal favorite..this two has either the struggling artist scruffy (one inch long) beard, that lightly pokes you when you get too close (Ahem!)
  
  or then the, working architect/agent who has a special close cut razor that leave JUSt the right amount of stubble to show how hard hes been working-so hard he didnt have time to shave this morning..two-day stubble..for 2 weeks!
  
  
• Slightly longer than you'd expected, or are comfortable with..and yes i am referring to the Pak cricket team..JESUS! right under our noses..they sprouted these long and disturbing beards..that look absolutely Gross sticking out from under their helmets..eww! HOW could anyone find THAT attractive..no wonder Sania Mirza went for the clean shaved crooked nose..sorry Afridi, get rid of that grossness on your face harbouring all the fungus and bacteria and maybe you could also bag the neighbours girl!
  
  
• Last but not the very least-since its soooo common now..the Taliban-beard a.k.a Religion SAYS-we-should-keep-one-beard. Im not one for stereotypes and generalizations..but excuse me, if a man with a giant beard and shady blood shot eyes steps into a bus, i will be one of the passengers that gets off on the next stop! Those beards are highly UNATTRACTIVE..and i DOUBT GOD was so mean as to use religion to make men less attractive to the opposite sex(even women for that matter in those black raven penguin outfits)...so we never have sex-for pleasure that is! Know what i mean? Or would you like me to explain further? I say, if you GOT it, (and god certainly GAVE it to you)..then FLAUNT IT! GOD wants us to appreciate his art work..right! If he didnt, then he's make us put GIANT black sheets over the mountains, rivers and billy goats!

Im not one to get into religious debates..mostly because my viewpoints- i cant always convey properly! AND i feel religion is a very personal thing-each to their own opinion, i say!
BUT i feel there are more imp things to worry about ( and more imp things GOD has to worry about) than to judge us on whether our beards are EXACTLY the size of a fist or not..

There is a famous Afghan saying.." A woman with a beard, looks like a man..A man without a beard, looks like a woman"

Stupid little statement/saying, that makes me angry enough to rant!
Even with facial hair, i.e, 'Looking like a man'.. doesnt stop them from sodomizing each other, and acting like complete barbarians!
Why must everything become a gender issue with these people?
The Neanderthal male, dominant figure-head, breeeding more of his like-minded mini-me's!
I saw a show with a 13 year old Afghan boy who was slapping around his 22 year old sister and forbidding her from going out to buy groceries, because some random stranger, another pubescent afghan boy would whistle at her when she left the house..who got the beating? the Girl..whose rights of freedom were snatched away? the Girl? Who got disrespected by a child? the Girl!
And when asked why he is doing all the forbidding..he said my father is out fighting the war..i am the 'MAN OF THE HOUSE..', and all the while im thinking...if i was his sister, or his MOTHER for that matter..id Give him two slaps and tell him to shutup, and act his pubescent little age!

..he even had on his little pubescent starggly mostache-chinese style!
Made me so mad!
Am i the only one?

THIS is why i prefer living in my bubble..its not worth getting your blood pressure up and boiling! Im happy in my utopian-bubble, where i see no evil-hear no evil-and ignore injustice..but it still hurts when i look out my bubble-window and see all thats happening..
It hurts alot!!!

PassionFruitCake

Today, i was told i cuss alot...
No i did not act shocked, Gasp and say ' noooo..ofcourse NOT, your mistaking me for someone else..im practically a NUN'...because THAT would be a lie...
what did i say?
..'yes ofcourse i do! Im a very passionate person you see..hence, i cuss'
..its not a very good justification..its pathetic actually!
But for the record it did prove to be quite the conversation stopper.

Its true you know! But ofcourse im not going to take full blame..you see i also get VERY easily influenced..im like a soft piece of silly putty in the fingers of a clever sculptor..easily moulded to fit the surrounding..Heh!
No im not, secretly(sarcastically) complimenting myself..not saying i easily adapt to situations..i dont...i HATE change..but i like Adventures..who doesnt right?!
Im a regular Indiana Jones mate!
BUT thats besides the point..(off topic again..where was i)

Right!
Im not taking blame for cussing alot...OR being this passionate...the passion, i truely, whole heartedly believe is genetically maufactured..i was BORN with it! Something you cant learn or develop..your either born with it or not..and if you have the fire in your heart(passion), it comes in different degrees..like nando's Peri Peri sause choices..

• Lemon herbs- only thing your passionate about is when you show some love for the stupid things in life..like a dead pet cat or something..(never really paid attention to it when it was alive, after its death it was your favorite)
  
  
• Mild- a little higher up on the spice from the bottom of the passion-chain! Your probably one of those that are passionate about certain food you eat, what brand clothes you wear, etc. material shit.
  
  
• Hot- turning up the heat a notch..passionate about everyday things that are imp to you..Career choices(i want to be a doctor-not just any, but a Neuro Surgeon, from age 4 onwards- decided!), food you eat(will starve all day, travel an hour in traffic and stand in line for another 20 mins JUST to eat that special Kabab you get from some shady place you ONCE ate at, in your childhood)
  
  
• Extra-Hot- fire burning, fire burning in your heart! Your passionate about EVERYTHING...be it a song you have just fallen in love with, a pointless blog post typed out at 3.30 am, a random musical, a movie somehow ONLY you relate to and/or pointless facts thats only interest you.

Agree with me?!
even if you dont..i dont give a rats.. !
Because im passionate and proud, and i shall NEVER apologize for being so..im the extra extra Hot peri peri!
OH and im not going to apologize for cussing alot either..BUT i will defend myself in the case where id like to state (for the record) that in the presense of strangers, elders, etc. and esp in formal situations i DO NOT cuss..iv made it somewhat a rule..because i do follow rules of proper conduct, appropriate behaviour and social ettiquetes..my upbringing demanded it-And i dont need to say it, its clear!
(Thanks parents-mucho appreciato)

...Mushabooom*

music..im so in love with my music- I Dont need you!

So along with a bad day..week..everything seems to be working against me!
The Universe has an EVIL plan in the works, against me!
Sister took the ipod..the work security people cut my online radio off..and now im stuck listening to Yogi Bear (guy who works in my office) blabber on about printing this n that and what he ate n what hes farting out...UGGHH!!
Everything is getting on my nerves today...
so im going to ignore everyone..and think happy thoughts..and give u a list of what im listening to..(these days):

*CAUTION-DISCLAIMER..if i like it, doesnt mean you will..so before you diss, pliss, try it atliss!

Bat for Lashes...Natasha Khan leads the band with her powerful yet effortless performances..belting out perfectly harmonized high pitched melodies..but a bit on the dark side, well mostly because the theme of her recent album seems to be of loneliness..and yes the videos are weird..okay 'understatement'...VERY WEIRD! But they graphically depict the weirdness of the lyrics and the dark theme! Shes good..and so is the music!


She & Him..i may have spoken about them before..but i only just FELL madly in love! If their music was somehow magically transformed into a man..id marry him twice! in other words id marry She & Him twice!
Zooey Deschanel sings lead with music backing done by this handsomly brooding individual..who only rarely provides his manly voice in a song or two assisting Zooey's. The girl is Queen of Indie movies, and now has proved her talent dsnt just lie in batting her eye lids, smiling a quirky smile and starring in rom-coms that make it big out of Sundance..

Regina Spektor..another quite the quirky performer..and if you thought Bat for Lashes had weird videos...wait till you get a load of this one...but heyy shes super talented yo!
And shes british...i think! Will have to do some checking..but what does it matter..Go take a listen to 'US' (the song)..yes it is the opening song for (500) Days of Summer (and yes my obsession with that movie is FAR from over) but nice lyrics..funny voice..but good shit!

The XX..i fell for one song..and then another..but mostly still stuck on the first..'ISLANDS'..i just cant seem to get enough of listening to it on full volume, in the car till my drivers ear drums are popping and hes making excruciating faces in the rear view mirror. What bass, what nonchalant monotone singing voices that complement each other oh so well..good stuff!

Noah & the Whale..okay its not really fair since i only REALLY like their one song..and havnt experimented with the entire album yet..heard one or two others that didnt sit very well..but their one song that i did fall for.. '5 YEARS TIME'...Great song..lyrically and with just a ukelee to back it up!

im Still in love with Florence and the Machine..(and if u STILL havnt heard them..honestly..im giving up on you!
Black kids still on my playlist..although i really should branch out and listen to more of them..theyre VERY interesting!
Yeah Yeah Yeah's also peaked my interest witht heir song ZERO..
I dont know if i just love the song or maybe ive heard it too many times on the radio and now its just become bareable, so listening to it seems..routine now..but Pearl Jam's THE FIXER is a great listen too..so effortless! Phoenix with LISZTOMANIA and Novel with DAMN, also make the playlist these days!

And last but not least..i was introduced to this song by..(and it hurts to say it out loud) my SISTER...ugghh i dont really know HOW that happened..and at first like everything she makes me listen to i said CRAP, shit, YUCK..Trash! And then on a lonely underground tube ride..listening to it over and over again..i realized woah..shit i cant believe i actually like this song.. Top 25 Mashup 2009 hits...im cringing as i type it..since its so generic its almost NOT ME!
But its a good song..those close friends of mine..will be recieving a copy courtesy of youtube..in their INBOX msgs on fb..(too ashamed to put it out there for the world to see)..

AND NOW, coming to the original point i was making all over this post.. LONELINESS..its in the theme of most of the songs..in the discovery of my new songs..and should soon become the theme of my life..since, you come into this world alone..the only way you progress is alone..(because attachments-yes ppl attached to you or you attached to them) creates extra baggage and hence bogs you down!
SO! My friends..Lonely-Town is the name of the game..
May the force be with you..
Peace. Love. Harmony..and Great Great Melodies!

Mushabooom boom!

Confessions

I just finished watching the first 7 episodes of the new season of 'Chuck'..the comdeic, spy-based show about a geek whose secretly a spy..
and i must say..season 3 has very much amuzed me!! MUCH better than the first two seasons! Fo Sho!

which brings me to why im sitting typing this out..
did you ever want to be a spy when you were young?
Maybe it was just me, and my shady obsession with X-files, but i had always wanted to be in the FBI/CIA/some kind of Special services...
c'mon it takes alot to put these secret passions of mine out there, in the open..
and i knw i sound half-childish and kinda gay haha but when i got slightly older my passion got slightly more refined..and i got inspired by an article i read, about forensic anthropology..peked my interest, and my gave birth to my dream of becoming one! Closest thing to a special agent or a crime scene :P

..and then i watch a tv show called 'Bones'..(yes somehow i always come back to the tv) and even though the main charecter-forensic anthropologist- is an uptight, socially retarded stiffy..in other words(and im going to be vain again) NOT at all me..haha yes i relate myself to whatever i watch..i am indeed one of those!..i was weirdly facinated by that line of work..but then again, medicine(bones skeletons) not my thing!

So i watch a show called 'Criminal Minds' ...NOW THATS What im talking about!!
That is what i want to do! Now dont get me wrong, im not disturbed, neither do i get a kick out of dirsturbing crime scene shows with all the blood and gore..(but i do love my occasional scary movie now and then) but im not going to lie..that stuff facinated me..
The attention to detail, thinking like a criminal, profiling the killers, using psychological analysis on their behaviour patterns to deduce what kind of criminals they are..haha

im goig off track here as usual arnt i?
basically what this one is really about is..im opening myself up more..path to a new more open me! So let this be one of my very first confessions...
..I secretly want to be a Spy/Criminal behavioural analyst/forensic anthropologist!
and maybe, someday, il end up atleast coming close to something along these lines..!
Till then..
