2009 and yet another Arab Nation!!

January 11th 2009 10:24
Over the past number years I have seen the word terrorism thrown around very casually. Most prominent or memorable words are either “Muslim Terrorists” or “Islamic Terrorists”. After September 11, it seemed as though the entire world focused on Muslims and they were labeled as outcasts as terrorists, if you were Muslim you concealed your face and averted your gaze. There was freedom of speech, yet you couldn’t just say that you were Muslim out right without feeling as though you were being judged… and much is still the same today. The past eight years have seen a revolutionary change in people’s attitude. It’s not the colour of your skin, communists or Jews anymore we overcame those issues. We have a new race to hate and in the last eight years we have decided on Islam. However, when did Terrorism have a religion? Oklahoma bombings of 1995 with the two main two main conspirators, Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols along with others were Christian however I have yet to hear the words “Christian Terrorists”. Terrorists do not have a religion, their religion is Terror and their purpose is to spread terror. They do not belong to any religion, they do not believe in any thing and although they throw around words like holy war… there is no war that is holy. It is simply a cold blooded masscre of people who do not deserve to be slaughtered down like animals.


During 9/11 the whole world stood still with wide eyes while innoncent people lost their lives and thousands had to cope with that loss. That was just the beginning, the anthrax scare followed soon, war in Afghanistan, Strikes on Lebenon, war in Iraq, … the world slowly became desensitized to innocent people loosing their lives. People still die, people are still being killed but no one seems to care anymore. We are now in 2009 and its brought upon the holocaust of yet another Arab nation. It’s Phalestine this time. Innocent civilians are still loosing their lives everyday but the world has’nt stood still… the world has’nt done anything at all. Over 800 civilians have been killed so far, more then 300 were children. 800 may seem like just a number to us but that 800 effects the lives of thousands that are linked with it. Gaza has become the living graveyard of a nation. What excuse do we have this time? Weopons of Mass destruction? Unlikley since the location of Phalestine makes it impossible for any weapons or aid to enter without the permission of Israel. So Israel is attacking a poor defenceless nation without a proper miltary and without any proper means to defend it self. The ratio of people killed are something like 10 Israeli “soliders” to 800 Phalestinian “civilians”. Where is the fairness in that?

Train man

April 26th 2007 08:25
I catch the train to work everyday. It's completely packed in the mornings and if I'm ever lucky to actually get a seat I normally try to catch up on my sleep. So that's exactly what I was doing yesterday morning when I caught the train. Its never a good idea to sleep on a train, your mouth tends to fall open, you start drooling and your head keeps bouncing in all directions and then finally hangs low towards your lap. It's very very awkward not to mention the fact that it makes you look like you are suffering from downs syndrome. I'm also no sleeping beauty… far faaaar from it. However, I had 4 exams in one week which meant I lived on less then 3 hours of sleep per day; I was beyond the point of caring, I just wanted the day over and done with so I could go home and sleep. So I broke rule no. 37 of the girly girl's manual and closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Somewhere between Strathfeild and Redfern I came to and as I opened my eyes and checked for drool while pretending to scratch my face I noticed these shoes on the stairs. Gleaming, black, lustrous shoes that screamed for attention and spoke of the impeccable taste of the owner

This question has been revolving in my mind for the past few weeks or so.. Why are we attracted to.. Who we are attracted to?

Some people prefer physical attraction, some emotional, some spiritual and some unexplainable weird attraction.

Prading bottles and a gun.

October 7th 2006 06:49
I spun it once again! The bottle, after it was empty. The gun represented freedom, a way to get away from it all. The syringe showed peace... an illusion… a false reality. And all that empty space... was life, empty… just like life.
After a long spin the bottle comes to an end, facing the metallic deadly magnum… cheap yet effective. An instant death once shot in the right place. I pick up the gun with trembling hands, and through chills running down my back and drops of sweat gliding down my face, I manage to place it on my forehead. “The right place” the sensitive spot right behind my eyebrows. The difficulty in swallowing increases just as my heart beat does, and like a slithery snake my forefinger moves towards the deadly end.. “The trigger”. My life flashes before my eyes like a slide show.. And when it all became so much that it nearly exploded, I managed to press the trigger.

I have never done that. I have never gone into a confession room and confessed the entire truth to a complete stranger to relieve my soul of the guilt it bears from time to time. Come to think of it, I have never really confessed the entire truth to anyone... not even my self. My parents don’t have a clue what the truth is, my siblings know the entire opposite of the truth, my best friend normally knows the slightly edited versions of the truth and me? Well I make my self believe whatever looks good at the time.

The Trap of Routine

September 28th 2006 08:08
So bored of routine everyday life, bored of predictable situations, Wake up at 6.00 and throw the alarm clock at the wall, shower, get dressed, Eat cereal. Get to the station and wait for the train.. late once again..catch the train and read the boring book on romance while rolling ur eyes. Get off and pretend not to hear the man playing his flute in the bitter cold.... turn up the volume of your Ipod... Get to Work and make routine carefully calculated jokes with work acquaintences, stare at files all day and pretend to get some work done while thinking about what to eat for lunch.
Go to the gym and fall in the trap of the ROUTINE work out, half an hour treadmill, one hour yoga, then catch the packed train back home standing oh so very close to the fat ugly guy you tried to get away from, smelling his breath and carefully avoiding eye contact as thats the only bit privacy you have left on the crowded train. Finally get home, change and shower then Eat the same boring dinner. Watch the news and become a little bit more scared of muslim terrorists, boogey men and man eating spiders... Get some entertainment and watch some mind numbing reality shows just so you can discuss it with work mates tomorrow, then answer that call from that friend telling you all about her routine day only to add how she she saw "that" cute guy again. Pretend to be oh so "exited" for her while muttering who the hell cares. Say good bye and fall as sleep exhausted only to repeat the entire episode tomorrow. So predictable, expected, routine, calculated, uninteresting, boring .... Is this what adult life is all about????
