Super cool vs. super dead?!

* Why no one told me the the second pargraph doesn't make sense? It aint my fault Blogspot randomly change sentences places ... I just updated it ..
--------------------
Tomorrow is my first final inshallah. I am not too stressed in studying for it, but I am hell worried about it. Inshallah khair.
My efficiency in studying these past three days was horrible. I am doing what I need to do, but in the time I had I could've done much much more.
Last night dinner was definitely not the healthiest, because I had the weirdest dreams I have had in A LOONG time. I am talking about a Russian team of pilots telling me about their crazy experience flying their MiGs!!!!!

Anyways, so yesterday marked the most idiotic thing I have ever done in my life. By writing about it here, I am risking that any of my family would know about it, but I don't think any of them reads it. In all cases, this thing has to go on the blog.
I think by now every one knows that I am speed freak ... Actually it's more like I love "operating" motor vehicles! I fly planes, crash cars, whats next? Die on a motorcycle!

I had it in my mind for while to learn riding motorcycles. I decided to do it this winter. I told Ashraf about it, and that I am thinking of getting a motorcycle. The whole idea was ignited by the fact tht my bro is here, and we MIGHT need another mean of transportation. Talking about it over and over with Ashraf, we partnered to buy a motorcycle. Ashraf has been riding motorcycles for long time. Now on my side, it is soo CRAZY to do such a thing. First, I don't know how I am gonna get all the side expenses for the bike, such as helmets, jackets ... Second, I dont know how to ride it! Third, we bought a huge motorcycle. I am talking about a 4 cylinder 600 cc engine, tht gives a bit more thn 100 hP!! That is FAST for beginners! I think it was crazy! Fourth, neither my brother nor my parents know about it. I only told my sis, who I kno can keep a secret. So far I told my bro tht the bike is Ashraf's. His comment was: "this is soo So far I told my brother stupid, those are very dangerous." I said: "not if you are careful." He said: "Ashraf doesn't seem to be careful." I thought OMG .. if he thinks Ashraf wont be careful, wht would he say whn he sees me riding it!

Here is a pic of similar bike to the one we bought, it is a black 1998 Yamaha YZF 600R a.k.a ThunderCat ... Except that the one we bought has cosmetic damage, tht's how we got it for cheap.


On Monday, finally MSA people acted like men and talked to me. There has not been much drama or anything, but simply I was to be avoided cuz they didn't kno how to break it to me. Well they recognized that the best way is just saying it politely! Here is howthey think: Ammar is an asset for us, he grow up in ( ) thus he has different perspective and knowledge tht we might not have. Even though it is not his mistake tht he has an accent, he is not good to talk to the MSA public on a halaqa. However, because of the different type of audiance, he is good to give Khutbas. Moreover, his experience makes him the best candidate to Chair the Dawah commettee, which is directed for non muslims!
Anyone feel like this guy ... Only me?!
Then they tried to get from me why I stayed away from MSA this sem, and why do I claim to hate it? I didn't give an answer, may be I will write a post about it one day. If any of the MSA people is reading it, I am sorry, didn't mean to offend anyone, no hatered or bad feelings. If what I wrote was wrong, correct me please. Go back to a previous post, Sorry Avid MSAers, and will know that it's the community not the individuals.
I didn't post their argument to refute it, or to show the obvious lack of logic in it; I only post it to remind me of many things. Mainly, why it is better to stay away. Also, to remind me how I am looked at, and tht it simply is not my place. Anyways, no drama no nothing ... Had it in mind and wanted to get it off of my chest.
PEACE ... sorry for the long post ..

yo what happened to the msa? I was thinking after I read the post msa has always been wack like that. To think I wanted to be a part at one time. Wackness

So people are looking to me here to start a masjid which I will do inshaAllah. Im practically the only local Muslim. When I started splainin to them how things would get done, they balked.

I was like this aint no MSA. I wont get into specifics, but why must their be beef, when there shouldnt be beef. And because there is beef, nobody is with me/

Cause Im the local muslim, to them Im just the convert. Im so sick of being the got damn convert. Thinking Im new to islam so they try to splain to me this and that, and when I fired back they were offended.

I could write a whole post about this ordeal
