there is no god but god and mohamed is his prophet (as was jesus and moses). Dont question anything else and you will be alright.

Seriously, god doesnt matter. All you need is love; love is all you need. Why believe in anything else seeing as nothing else makes you feel as good as love.

There is one thing though which gives you something to think about if you wish for divinity. That is the beggining of things. In scientific and reasonable terms, everything comes from something else. For example:

This keyboard which im using is plastic (or so I believe). This is made by humans. Now if your not wholy against evolution, then you will reason that humans came from pre human species similar to monkeys. Monekys came to being from other species. Those species came from the sea billions of years ago. Those sea creatures came from a combination of germ like species. Those germs were formed from the heat or whatever erroded on the earths crust. The earth and all was formed from the big bang explosion. The big bang was a large mass formed my millions of smaller ones. those smalled masses were formed by smaller ones in space. those minimal peices of mass were created by pressure in space...... where did space and the first molecule of matter come from? God.

Or so I preffer to call it.

Though I do not believe it was that god which created humans and made them as messed up as we are. So believe in love since there is nothing better.

Quitting is easy. I have done it a million times.

The thing is that if im alone I can manage not to smoke, yet when im in company of people who are smoking or when drinking; its bloody damn impossible. The funny thing is that the only times I have quit smoking was because I was going out with someone who didnt smoke. It seems I care little for my own wellbeing yet when it comes to doing it for someone else its far easier or simply it gives me much more insentive to quit.

buy a one way ticket anywhere (outside the continent) and just travel. Spend a year traveling and look for work outside to finance your daily needs. Anything from something which requires your skills, to simply washing dishes. The point here it to travel, learn, obtain life experiences, and enjoy yourself. You have the rest of your life to work, use whats left of your youth to live.

How come, of all of the countries in North, Central and South America, the USA lays claim to the descriptive "American"? 

If you can think of another way to put it, please let me know.

United Statesmen and women? USAian?

(and because we are special)

Here we call people from the US either Gringo or Yanki seeing as when one refers to an American we include ourselves in the pot.

Andre..

that is really cool..living with the bedouin women must have been tough..I live in a small town..and people here are very conservative..like it is such a big deal that I show my hair and wear skinny jeans and do not cover up with a scarf or something..

Some,also Egyptians themselves,consider themselves arabs now..but I detest the arabic culture and I think it ruined the beauty of the ancient Egyptian civilization..and now it is gone..alas..

When people ask me,I say I am Egyptian..Egyptians are actually a mixture of africans,mideterraneans,greeks and arabs..

But nobody around here seems to notice that..I did not know myself until one of my American friends mentioned that..and it makes sense..if I read a history book,that is what I will find..but too bad the arabic culture brainwashed my people..and now Egypt is nothing more than a backwards country with an abusive culture..

Well anyways..

Thanks for your compliment..you are so sweet

Not to go against what you said, but rather to add. There is a misinterpritation of the Arab culture in which as you mentioned Egypt falls into. When one mentions "arabs", it should pertain only to people from Saudi Arabian peninsula (including Dubai, UAE, etc). These in general were the Bedouin you mention who astonishingly came from being a desertic nomad society to the potency it is today. The ancient nations who neighbor this land, ie. Egypt, Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, etc have all then been dubbed "Arab" by the west when they are far from that.

The oldest are the Assyrians (the ancient babilonic cultures) which made up ancient Syria, Palestine, Lebanon, and Jordan. The Persians made up places like Iran and Iraq. Egyptians themselves were ancient babylonians who settled in the region and created icons we see of Egypt today. Of course then throughout thousands of years we now have the mixture of people we see now.

I guess what I am trying to say is that Arab culture is quite new. It is a recent invention in which many things and customs are being taken in and being denominated under one banner. Of course I know there are problems which you mentioned.. That is on account of horrible autocratic governments and ignorance on the true sence of Islam by many with little education who are easily governed by those with ill intentions.

.... hm. somewhat offtopic I am aware. Sorry I have no idea about measurments or anything. You do look good though. =)

..oops double post

used to back in 97/99. Used to play terran preferably. They werent as strong as protos or as massive as zerg... but they were cocky as hell.

Love. Nothing more needed to be believed in. Nothing more powerful which in essence would allow for a mouse to overtake a lion in the name of it. People may fight for god and die in his name (as we have well seen). But when one fights for love, they fight with an unequal passion and would come out victorious on account of it.

Eating right before bed is very important seeing as your body is still burning calories while you are asleep and if you havent eaten for more than an hour and a half before bed time, then your system will look to your reserves in order to obtain the nutrients it needs. So seeing as we want to keep on most of the weight we gain, its beneficial to give your body something else to snack on during that time.

What you eat is up to you. Whatever doesnt make you feel naucious is good enough, just let it be the right balance in between carbohydrates and proteins. If you have been doing lots of phsical activities during the day, then a higher dosage of protein would be ideal seeing as it will help repair the muscle tissues which add to some positive muscle growth (and seeing as muscle mostly expands while resting (ie. sleeping), this is an ideal time to benefit from this).

Most people would recommend something like a glass of milk and a peanut butter sandwich. For a while I myself would drink a pint of milk right before bed with a protein bar or something of the syle... yet recently I cut back on drinking too much seeing as I would wake up in the middle of the night with the urge to go to the bathroom. (which sucked.. but depending on my mood I would sometimes profit from having woken up and I would go have another pint of milk or a glass of grape juice which also has a very high caloric and carb value).

strawberry fields forever?

100% natural grape juice. I find that this is the best substance for including carbs seeing as its concentrated in carbs (about 50 grams per serving), which you could have on the side of a plate of sphagetti or even cereal with milk, which would bring that meal in itself to about 100 grams of carbohydrates.

chivalry can never die. Its that golden part of us which gives us our most profound civility, yet of course for some of us, its piled under a field of dung. Its within us by instinct.

As in most if not every species, the male protects the female; as its been throughout history from the very foundations. It has nothing to do with sexism. Its not about who is more capable, or smarter, or better in any way... I would even go to say that women tend to always be the better of the two and it is because of that in itself that man has at least this one thing which he MUST do in order to be of some use.

Now in a society without the need to fend of predators, in which our role in society is becoming every day more obsolete, we have one thing to keep us going.. that is chivalry. If its not fighting the battle for the sake of your own, then at least the simplest gesture of opening to door for her, giving her your seat, helping her out of the car or down the steps, and simply just allowing her to have as much comfort as possible, even if she damn well can do it herself.. well, it makes us feel better about ourselves. We are still useful in some way.

If chivalry dies then we have nothing left. Women can do all what we can do. They are prettier than us... with advances in science they dont even really need us to reproduce. We would become obsolete bohemoths of a past time... slowly fading away like our Y chromosome.
