Legacy of a Friendship

My soul-sistah is a junior 

and she's almost gone. 

I feel from sadness, this heart will drown 

but for her and only her I take this frown 

and make sure it stays upside down.

Distance will increase 

communications decrease

Fear is a disease

It plagues me from peace

But our hearts will remember 

and memories wont be forgotten 

As long as I live 

For her, anything I'll give.

Pakistan and U.S Relations

     
         I was recently watching a documentary about the attack and killing of Osama Bin Laden. It's really interesting how the government puts its best together in order to work towards capturing and killing of a terrorist who caused the death of many.

      While watching this documentary, I came across information that really disturbed me.
 
        So it's a fact that Pakistan and U.S intelligence were working together to bring down terrorists and their assistance has helped bring down about 5 out of 10 major terrorists that have been captured. However, it's believed that Bin Laden was believed to be staying in the complex where he was killed since 2006. It is believed that many members of the Pakistan intelligence were aware of this information.

       Many leaders in the U.S Government believe that Pakistanis should not be trusted anymore. They believe that all assistance and cooperation should be stopped and that Pakistan should officially be considered as an uncooperative state.

      My personal opinion is that this is would be a very stupid and idiotic step. First of all, there obviously something wrong if Bin Laden could stay grounded for that long. It means that Pakistani government is corrupt like many other countries. However, it's deemed to be beneficial for the U.S to be in relation with Pakistan and to work with them.

     Next, if U.S stops sending funds to Pakistani in order to educate their younger generation, they'll stop the long term solution to terrorism. Terrorism comes from ignorance. By not educating children, they're more likely to be manipulated by those with power and money.

     Not only that, why should the kids suffer the consequences of wrongdoing by adults. This absolutely makes no sense because kids are the future of the world. If they're not taken importantly and regarded with care and sincerity, World Peace is something we can forget about.

 

School Shootings: JUST STOP

      I just read about the school shooting that's occurred this morning in Connecticut and my heart is breaking right now. Its hard to imagine how people can become such cold hearted and why this happens. Every adult was a child. And we remember how children can be, right? Children with their innocence playing around, frolicking with their playmates, and when they want something, they look at us with those eyes we can't resist?
      So what happened? Did you forget how life was as a child? Did you forget the small innocent things about life that make it so sweet?
      .... Maybe, life wasn't that great as you were growing up. But shouldn't that be your motivation? Shouldn't you want to make it a better place so that children that are like you were have some place to go.
      It's really sickening how people can literally slaughter those that symbolize the innocence of our world. Children bring creativity into existent and they basically can change a person's life. The fact that one of the persons who did is a 24 year old is disappointing. This is someone who not that much older than me.
       What will happen to the world if no one thinks about this. Is this a sign of innocence diminishing around the world? Because that's what it seems like.

Haters Just Hatin

Many of us support Obama and many supported Romney. What's sad though, is that many of us get into this intense feeling of supporting the candidate we like by developing unusual feelings of strong hatred for someone we don't even know personally. So I ask people to think abou

t this:

Yes, a lot of the times, this is mostly about power and money but ultimately, these men are sacrificing their lives, their privacy, their family's privacy, and so many other things in order to somehow serve their countries. Both Obama and Romney both ran because they feel like they can make a difference in the world. However, they both have very different views. All of us know what it is like to be different and have different views. Its not right that we choose to hate either candidates because they both want to make a difference in the world and sacrifice their lives in doing so. We have to respect that they go this far because not everyone does. Not everyone cares or gives a shit about the world.

Obama won and Romney lost. Turns out that the majority of America wants to see Obama do more in the next four years instead of having someone new like Romney. There's going to be difference made in the world. So lets stop hating and see how they make that difference and as Citizens of the United States of America, support them in making this a better country. 

When there's more than one road

     
           I've switched to blogging about current events but this is one of those moments where I'm going to get a bit personal again. I don't like going into details because I'm not fully sure who reads this.

          What happens where there's more than one road. Well lets start from the beginning. This story begins with Rady as a freshmen in college. The person she was when she first began college was very innocent and religious. She knew who exactly she had chosen to be and she was proud and sincerely committed to living a lifestyle that would please her parents and mentors. But then, like most kids in college, she turned over to the dark side(whatever that means). She met people and saw different parts of life she hadn't exactly experienced before. Rady was a girl that had been through a lot. Most people have difficulties in life they go through but then there are people that go through extreme situations. Rady went through extreme circumstances. And as she was going through these times, she tried her best to use her connection with her culture to give her strength and go through everything but in the end, it didn't go the way she wanted. And so she decided to give herself a break for awhile.
          She's really changed and she's been doing things that wouldn't really be characteristic of her but its her experimenting and living life on the other side.

          However, there are things she found out lately and she knows she needs to take the time and find herself so she's not going to change her decision of exploring different things. But she feels these feelings of guilt that she's rejecting the love some very special people have to offer her. They've offered her shelter and love like she's never really experienced before.

So now what happens there more than one road she can take?

WATCHYU WANT? Huh.

  If you're a regular reader, you know I'm a college student. As a college student, I see many of my friends struggling with their choices of their classes. Sometimes it's not even about their choice in what classes they take but it's actually that they really don't like what they're doing. And this is what I have to say about that:

           WATCHYU WANT BOI? Huh?

 
  This is the thing. College prepares you for the future that you want for yourself. We study different subjects in college as a part of the general education curriculum and then we ultimately choose an area of subject for studying. And if you're going to hate what you're studying. Why you doing it? These things that you study, they're preparing you for a career that hopefully you'll be happy and content with. Yes, it may be quite challenging. I have quite a few friends that are taking different subjects and they're really hard science subjects. They spend hours studying and their social lives seem to cease. But the thing is, they like what they're learning or going into. And that's the motivation. If you're going to choose something you hate, eventually, it'll be too hard.
 
         SO WATCHYU WANNA DO? :P 

It's Our Time

       Most people my age(19) are like me. They tend to not really care about other things in the world. One of those important things are politics and different situations around the world. While I'm at work, I tend to have some time on my hands and I've been getting a bit more interested in world affairs. As we grow up, it's really hitting me that we're the future of this world.
      One thing that really got me is how unrealistic it seems sometimes because all these countries and nations in the Middle East are struggling. Their governments are so unstable and there's so much corruption and violence. For example, Libya is going through quite the rough time. Here's a headline from an online news website:

And then there are all these protests and things going on in Japan and China regarding the few islands that Japan claimed as their territory. 

The point is that all these things are going on around the world. And sometimes it just really surreal. We're living here in the States, enjoying the freedom to vote, to freely express ourselves, to be ourselves, with a type of safety many countries don't have. 

It's time to realize that we're becoming adults and that we can make a difference with our thoughts and opinions. People my age tend to not vote or care about matters like these but they don't realize how blessed we are. We got where we are right now because of our founding fathers and now its time to make a difference in the world. It's our time.
