its going to be a long week…

peaces. came back from the trip yesterday (sunday nite around 9ish). the traffic coming back was insane for part of the way (130 miles in 4 hours...). but al7amdulillah we made it back in ~14 hours.

the sky was really beautiful. i was driving around the close of 3asr and entrance of maghrib time, and man it was beautiful. it was like there were all these shades of blue that were coming together in some places. in other places, you could see what looked like a rainbow, but it was just because of how the different colors merged in layers and stuff. too bad i left my camera here though.

i saw the incredibles with my siblings on thanksgiving, it was a nice movie, i liked it (and so did they).

i guess that's about all. i did a tiny bit of code after work today, played some kingdom hearts too.

the only bad thing though is that i broke down and bought WoW (the normal one, not the collector's one). haha, OK is gonna kill me, and he has good reason to do so too... but i will insha'Allah not play too much. as a matter of fact, i haven't even opened it yet.

anyhow, time for bed, peace outs.

    I love you Ahmed.

  2. Fariha says:

    that game (WoW) seems really haram, and i think you should return it, Ahmed. if your friends see that website via your blog (if they don’t play the game already), sins will be going on your account, and its not worth it. need for speed, flight simulator, kings quest, monkey island, early versions of space quest, even mortal kombat seems more halal (depending on who you play as). (don’t take it personally, i remember you and yousef used to gun me down in wheeler with your own fatwas, and al-Hamdulillah your darses at Tech rocked)

  3. Fariha says:

    sorry, did i just say “rocked”?… ur darses were really really good, to the point they made me cry… don’t let these other things kill it.

  4. shaela says:

    monkey island?? you’ve played monkey island??? i LOVE that game!!! soooo goood… yes ahmed, haram. haram.

    thank you for your comments fariha — from my understanding (although i haven’t actually played the game yet so Allahu a3lam and you may be right), the game doesn’t contain any bad content. the main reason he was telling me not to buy it was because of the time wasted with such a game.

    unlike other games where you just buy the game and play it at your convenience till you beat it; the main issue with this game is that you pay a subscription to play it (and you can’t play it w/o the subscription fee, minus the first month which is free), and plus the fact that there is no such thing as “beating” this game. so when you know you’re paying to play it for a particular month, you’re going to be more likely to waste more time playing it to “make it worth your money.”

    and for that reason, he was saying that i would waste too much time with it and get addicted to it, where i should really be spending that time more productively (learning about deen, revising quran, etc).

    if i do come to discover that there’s not good stuff in it though, i’ll not play it insha’Allah and won’t subscribe to it (the first month is a free trial month, so i can see). but you can’t return software once you bought it; and hence i am “stuck with it” in a sense.

    i do definitely agree with you that i shouldn’t be encouraging people (directly or indirectly) to play such games because they’re a huge waste of time. and even if i manage to control my playing of the game and not play it too much, not everyone can do that and some people really do get addicted on these kinds of games.

    wAllahu a3lam.
    jazakyAllah khair.

    Shush. Hurry up and open the box before you convince yourself to return it dumas!

  8. shaela says:

    pretty soon the box will start talking to you. let me know what it keeps telling you to do

    so when did this come to harry potter? as far as i’m concerned, i dont think they made harry potter the main character in warcraft

  10. mansoor says:

    i hate harry potter. lets continue to trash harry potter

  11. shaela says:

    lets trash you. i hate you

  12. mansoor says:

    you are just jealous because i look so good.

  13. shaela says:

    yeah. i’ve wanted to look like a monkey at times. but that was ages ago.

  14. mansoor says:

    so are you saying that one of Allah’s (SWT) creation is ugly? do you see no beauty or wisdom in Allah’s (SWT) creation of the monkey species? may Allah (SWT) give us all guidance so that we may see beauty in all of the creatures that inhibit this beautiful place called earth.

    yet, if you did not mean to say that a monkey is ugly, then you admit that i look good. either way, i win, you lose. i am a man, you are a woman. you can never win. go to sleep. i hope harry potter dies in the next book.

    Nuff said.

    “i am a man, you are a woman. you can never win.”
    Muwahahaha.

  16. shaela says:

    i hope they put a character named mansoor babar for whatever reasons who is an annoying fan of harry potter in the next book and in fact gets so annoying he just zaps this character mansoor away in an enclosed room with harry potter wallpaper surrounding the entire room so that this character mansoor spends his dying days imagining himself to be like harry potter but never quite getting there. and in conclusion, he dies a sad , unaccomplished man.

  17. shaela says:

    hey mansoor… never looked better

  18. mansoor says:

    dang, what a sexy beast! great pic faisal! but seriously, you have way too much time on your hands…

    as for you fish (shaela the bangali), you have admitted defeat by going off on a weird tangent on harry potter. the whole world has witnessed that you have admitted defeat and that i look good, whether its monkey-like or whatever.

  19. shaela says:

    i did not go on a weird tangent. you just dont have enough brain capacity to understand and not only that, you feel proud about looking like a monkey. i dont think i have much else to say to you.

  20. shaela says:

    oh yeah. i do. i win

  23. mansoor says:

  24. aneounimoues says:

    I love you Mansoor.

    “an army of magical elfs” what kind of nonsense is this

  29. shaela says:

    uh ok… it was just there to allude to the topic at hand. don’t take it literally.

  30. Nida says:

    Does everyone remember when I made Mansoor cry like a girl? Who wants to see the magic again? Leave Shaela alone!
