You aren’t hustling.
You are cheap as hell and it shows.
I keep coming across requests for design work that are extremely demanding, and detailed, and offering minimal pay.
People think designers are slaves or something. They think they have big ideas and you are the talented dummy that will fuel their idea with you creativity for free.
Don’t settle for projects unless it is on your terms.
No more about that.
I submitted my first question to Soulpancake.com it is interestingly addictive and can consume hours of your time on end without you even noticing. This site is about spilling the beans about all things ‘taboo.’
Check it out yourself.
Go wild with it.

It seems as though it is human nature to use people for what you need them for. They are worth as much to you, as the benefit you get from keeping them around.
It is something we all do.
We all have the friends that listen when we have to vent, and the ones that we listen to when its their turn. We keep some because they make us feel wanted, needed, and important. Others because they are the ones who we need, and probably they thrive on the significance we give them in return for their attention and time.
Why does it bite when you loose your status with one of the users? Why does it hurt when they take that “petty” “superficial” attention away from you and give you a cold shoulder?
I guess I would have to say its a reflection of our own petty superficiality.
Open and shut case Johnson.
There is plenty of space in the US for people to come live here. Take a road trip anywhere and you’ll have your fair share of reminding.
You are not leaving your position at God knows where to do the mineal jobs they are willing to get done – efficiently if I might add.
Laslty, you came from somewhere else too. If you believe that they need to go home, then I suggest you get a head start on your packing.
Would you not vote for someone just because of the way they talk, dress, look or rate on your scale of holiness?
Would YOU be enthused about having to stand up for criticism in front of everyone for the things you do behind closed doors?
Are you so comfortable with yourself that you’re in a position to judge them?
Would you bet your money on the fact that he/she is not worthwhile because of your outward opinion of that person?
Are you among the Mutaffifeen?
Those who if they are buying something (on the receiving end) double check that their getting their money’s worth, but if they are on the selling end take a little out from the merchandise – cheat?
Are you worth the paper you’re printed on?
When you advise someone, who doesn’t know any better, to vote for outward appearances you are betraying that persons trust and an Amanah you owe them is to be truthful.
I will tell you right now, there are no Angels here, and you are not holy.
A person can look the part and be as filthy as they wanna be.
Don’t belittle the stuff you do behind closed doors. Allah SWT can take away your status, dignity, and spotless reputation in the blink of an eye.
The job of an officer isn’t to make an organization look good, or seem up to par in holiness.
Allah asks if they – Al Mutaffifeen – doubt that they will be resurrected, held accountable for their actions.
Fear Allah in the rights of other people.
He hears all.
He sees all.

Lets triple check our intentions behind this year’s vote and Inshallah we can’t help but do the right thing.
“this camera is be3inek” – As valuable as your eyes.
“the dress is bardo be3inek” Also of the same value.
‘Taab calm down” she laughed.
“Da homma 3ineen...” -There are only two eyes.
Im a mute Okazaki fragment.
A piece of something bigger, that doesn’t code for anything by itself, but can’t address the fact that it is missing parts.
–unofficial review of the first 3 chapters of Developing the Leader Within You –
“Everyone continually exerts influence either to heal, bless, to leave marks of beauty, or to wound, to hurt, to poison, to stain other lives…“
What kind of influence are you having on the people that you pass in life? That kind of psychs me out. How we should always be our best. As Muslims, as role models, as leaders. We are going to be held accountable for the way we affect people. How we appear to them, especially in the name of Islam.
“You can’t lead people farther than you’ve ever been yourself”
I make dua’a that Allah SWT grants me leadership to the muttaqeen and subhan Allah…I really have just learned the true meaning of leading. It requires the utmost in good character. When Islam teaches us about character, there is such an emphasis on good manners. It seems all friendly and “Yeah, people will like you better…” But that is just the surface. Character is everything.
“People’ s Minds are changed by Observation, not Argument.”
People follow example. They can be told one million times. It won’t make a difference.
In leading people we have to look at our own integrity. Who are we? What do we stand for? People can sniff out fakeness. You can pretend all you want but you will be found out sooner or later. So, being honest, even when people aren’t going to particularly like what you have to say, is crucial.
“The measure of a man’s true character is what he would do if he was never found out.“
that one speaks for itself.
I’m trying to figure out how not to waste my time today.
To me it was more of the following quesiton:
“Is there any Abu-Lahab in me…?”
The lesson behind the surah wasn’t that Allah SWT can punish a person for their deeds. That is a fact. Allah is all powerful and Able to do anything. It was a lesson and a reminder to anyone who has the same aversion from the truth. That can be through arrogance, ego, etc.
Also the idea of Abu Lahab trying to ransom other people for his own freedom on the day of judgment. Our relationships as people are so volatile. We say we love each other, we care, we miss each other. We just focus so much on the small stuff the relationships, the interactions. Although these aren’t supposed to be disregarded our final love should be for Allah SWT. We won’t be able to take any of this with us.
Im far from lonely and its all that i’ve got.

If you could take a second to tell me what you hear when you read “Finite Mathematics” I would appreciate the comments.
“I’ve been looking for answers since becoming an adult
Not looking for dogma to live like a cult
I’ve been looking to live,
I’ve been living to find
Freedom from cages that limit my mind.
Would you call me a hypocrite?
Call me a liar?
Would you curse out my name?
Would you damn me to fire?
Would you know what to say?
Or would you just walk away?
Afraid the me I’ve tried to hide
Would you closely resemble the truth of you that lies inside?
Will I scare you, upset you, frustrate you, irate you?
Challenge a lifestyle or weaken your trust
Or will you see my efforts and my passion, sincerity
Would you see just a little of yourself in me
Will you take off your mask so we can both be free.”
-Dawud Wharnsby Ali
Kinda speaks for itself doesn’t it?
Its not B&W for everyone
and now very grey for me
no gesture goes unquestioned
to friend or foe for free
everyone on their own
although standing together
not sure if its for stability
or to withstand bad weather
whatever happened to
for better or for worse
and something that they never knew
could, and yes, would hurt
when things are out of context
they tend to make a mess
which then, in turn becomes a law
with nothing left to guess
when it goes unvisited
for years and years to pass
& finally when dust settles
but like no time has passed
something new arises to
only your dismay
& nothing in her right mind
she would dare display
the words spoken out once
i vow to never speak again
in all truth i should burn this poem
and see what happens then.
Is it a union or an intersection? Were we all standing around by accident when they drew the circles for the diagram or are there intersecting values?
I wonder, if they drew the circles all over again, would you know where you belonged? Where to stand? or would you be another confused person with pencil on their face?
Tonight I cried.
For a man, a character
…and cried for his son.
I cried for humanity
The hungry,
The poor
The destitute.
Tonight ,
zakaat made perfect sense
…its essentiality
although unquestioned,
was explained further.
I cried for a girl
Who saw this life
with all the color her vision could perceive,
But none of it was in focus.
I cried for a moment.
Tonight,
I cried for a voice,
I used to see as weak
…that sang a song,
I’d only listened to today
but heard many times
but today this voice was beauty
I cried for the lost, the forgotten.
These hours of clarity,
are priceless
We all experience these moments.
…then we sleep it off,
and awake, with all forgotten.
When I wipe away the tears,
with mascara tainted fingertips.
I make a promise,
an oath,
to change what I have seen
To make a real difference.
Tonight…
…I cried.
and I’ll cry again
Tonight, I cried.

This note is an afterthought to the movie “The pursuit of Happyness.” and a long night that followed. [I love you guys]
Best to everyone, have a wonderful break kids
smile for us all 
Everything we do,
I mean without exception, is selfish.
Yes,
I said it.
Selfish.
Even the way God made us.
We do good, we get good deeds.
There’s never something for nothing with us.
Had there been no reward we wouldn’t do good.
No motivation.
Just think that’s our relationship with God.
He created us.
Gives us all we have, and will have.
And we need something from him (SWT) to do Good.
A promise of heaven, and eternal peace.
The same goes with any relationship you can think of
You have a friend thats an entire wreck.
They are relatively anti-social
-save for dealing with you -
and you still keep in touch with them.
They make you a hero for it.
You only do it because of that.
You do it cause they thank you from time to time,
Even that gets old after a while…
Both of you will eventually acknowledge that.
You do it cause they need you.
They give you nothing.
in return for your friendship.
They murder you.
on a bi-weekly basis.
with their depressing thoughts.
They admire your faulty lifestyle
They favor it to their own,
which in all honesty
is extremely similar in principle.
That makes you all the more powerful.
It makes you important.
They make you someone.
Someone to them,
and in your mind…
Someone to the rest of the world.
People that confide in you,
People that trust your judgment,
People that look up to you,
People that are bothered by you
People that hate you
People that are impressed by you.
People that are jealous of you.
People that are intimidated by you.
People that know you.
People that love you.
People that miss you.
People that have never talked to you.
People that haven’t seen you in years.
They all contribute to who you are.
To how you perceive your self.
Think about it.
NOTE: You’re a nosy bamma, you thought this was about something juicy, its not. I am just pondering about this topic, now go on your way, and forever hold that insult
Theres an opening in the partition,
that cuts the ballroom into
chicks and dudes,
this fissure attracts people
from either side
to it,
like fireflies to light.
i think it defeats its purpose,
its worse than openning it all up.
makes people wonder,
what they’re missing…
in my opinion that is…
i don’t mind it..
i aint missing much.
Its the niyya that counts.
may Allah SWT reward everyone accordingly…
So, why are you coming to Iftar?
I am not a political, current events, up-to-date, kind of person. So this blog is just for me to post random thoughts, as often as possible. Just something to tickle the brain. I encourage you step aside from hustle & bustle of life for a second, and think. I intentionally don’t want this to be about the stuff other people will have no issues writing about.
