Golden Memories From Her Treasure Chest

As of late October of 2009, he eats halal meat only.

K1: Why be a halalatarian? I mean it makes no sense. You drink - even if occasionally -, have a girl-friend, don't pray....i could keep going, but you get the point..

K2: Well lets say i'm a thief, but just because i steal from people doesn't mean i should kill them too!

K1: You have it the other way round my friend. If you're going to use that analogy then say:

"Just because i'm a murderer doesn't mean i should steal also".


-Clarity - though not always flattering - is sincerely appreciated my friend-

An Elite Plague

Many Socialites, no socialights.

Guns, Germs, & Steel: For the Next Time Somebody Calls You a Neanderthal

"Despite being depicted in innumerable cartoons as apelike brutes living in caves, Neanderthals had brains slightly larger than our own. They were also the first humans to leave behind strong evidence of burying their dead and taking care of their sick".

My-croscope: You Put The 'Heal' Back In Health

No, i can't provide you evidence to corroborate,
But, no that doesn't mean i exaggerate
when i write i'm the richest man in the world

Yes there isn't a device that can measure
Yes its invaluable this treasure
And yes you're looking at the richest man in the world

This wealth i did not earn it
I hope i do not spurn it
The wealth that makes me the richest man in the world

I pray i do not take my wealth for granted,
My home does not become a house haunted,
when i am no longer the richest man in the world

For one does not need much wisdom
to know that day will inevitably come
when i'm no longer the richest man in the world

Reduced to a pauper the crown prince,
thinking of that fateful day since,
I was no longer the richest man in the world

So i pray for this blessed wealth,
and i pray for your precious health,
And so Mercifully i remain the richest man in the world.

"rubbir hum huma kama rubbiyani saghira"

Ameen.
