May the forces above help me with this one!

Lately I've been faced with a dilemma.The kind of dilemma that has you struggling to figure out which choice is the best choice for you! For me, it was more religious than anything else.

Not so long ago, I made a promise to myself that I would work on becoming the best Muslim I can be. It's something that is of great importance to me because; yes, I've been screwing up quite a bit! Not to worry, I was not into any kind of grave problems, but it's always the little things that I have had a problem fixing.So I decided that I will finally take the initiative to correct these things and adapt to a new life style. So far things are going great. I've went cold turkey on music(hard to believe but I did it!) and I've truly become a vegetarian (well as long as I'm in america..lol). All of this was done for my own benefit, as lame and as retarded it may sound to some of you. But the truth of the matter is, life is short! and the way I see it, I ain't getting any younger and my days on the beloved planet is numbered so making the best of the time I have. So anyways, enough of my crazy ramp. What I didn't anticipate was how hard and challenging it can get! I sometimes find myself having an internal battle with myself. It's like the voices in my head have a mid of their own! Jeez!! In the end of the day, the only thing I can do is to stay true to myself and be honest and pray that I have the strength to hold on to what I believe in and rid myself of the temptations.

"OSU sucks!"

I've been hearing this lately from a lot of people, some of them happen to be friends of mine while the rest are random people I strike conversations with around campus. What I find interesting is the number of people that say that Ohio State sucks! Now, I like to respond to that statement by asking them why they think that is! The response is usually students complaining about the insane amount of money they have to pay each quarter or how it takes ages to get from one part of campus to another and occasionally the " can you believe the GPA you need to have to get accepted?!!!" All of their reasons kinda seem legit, but then again I have to say: "Really? Really guys? You think Ohio State sucks?" I think Ohio State is the best thing that has happened to me! I think that you should be proud of being a buckeye and you should always say I go to THE Ohio State University! and celebrate the fact that you are one of those smart ones! It appears to me that those who don't make it here bitch about how "shity" it is and I suppose when rejected some of us tend to get defensive!! The way I look at it is, I freaking took a plane from another continent to get here soo, this school is pretty much the shiznit! ama be walking down the streets of any city, on any given day and say: " Yo, I go to THE ohio state university!!!" So be jealous B*tch!

Stuck on you

Don't tell me that you didn't have the time! I know its what you say each and every time I ask you the same question. It's happening to us again. Boy I thought our bond was stronger than all this. I saw you as the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Hold your hand be your support beam. Our love story is turning into one of those cheesy,pathetic scenarios we always see on poor written TV shows. You promised you'd spend time with me tonight, you know.
The way I let you treat me, you have all kinds of power over me. I've submitted myself to you. Without you directing me I morph into a compass needle swirling out of control. Everyone tells me I need to kick you out. Let you go. You're eating my insides away. But I don't want to listen to what they have to say. You complete me. You are me, or is it that I am you? Where would I be without you darling? No, no,this won't happen. we'll find a way to work it out right? You'll... You'll treat me right won't you? Take care of me and never abandon me again? Promise me this time?

super man visiting OSU!

I am currently in a state of euphoria. The news that Obama is going to be on campus this weekend is something that I have been waiting to witness ever since my arrival at OSU.For some reason I love the man. I am always captivated by his messages and his style of deliverance.His honesty..& there is something about his voice that reminds me of Martin Luther King(is it just me?). I don't love Obama because he's black but because I truly believe that he has and still is continuing to do great things for all Americans. A man whom I believe is moving us in the right direction and he's someone that is bringing positive energy into a country that in my opinion has had more than its fair share of hardships. I am so very proud to have him lead this country, regardless of what critics have to say. He's enduring a great deal of criticism from people everywhere,it's about time that people back off and let him do his thing. I don't want to get all political and begin to talk about subjects that I have very little knowledge about. But at the end of the day, Barack Obama has done way more good than Bush did in his 8 years in office.

So with Obama's arrival I am eager to hear what he has to say.For someone that does not care a whole lot about politics I really do want to be a part of the crowd that's cheering the man that I would've voted for had I been 18 at the time. I sure do hope that it will be an evening that I will cherish and hold dear forever!
