yea sorry you guys are gonna hafta wait a while...... college apps and shtuff due like now. or Jan.1 what a way to bring the New Year right? Celebrating the submission of 6 of my apps due that day and then crying cuz i have 4 more to go! BUT I WILL DO THE SOCIALISM VS CAPITALISM thing. i'm into it. And bee tee dubs (btw) i'm doing a term project for said Cuban history class (read the post below) and i'm interpreting a poem by Jose Marti ( the poem inspired the song Guantanamera, GO FIND IT do some work.) and NOT dancing to it but rather drawing a bunch of stuff to go along with it. Should be fun. I'll upload it
sometime in mid. Jan after i get it back from being graded.
But for now, this is a very cool lion i drew.
It's Christmas Eve, Merry Christmas (in a couple of hours) to those of you who celebrate.
Happy Belated Hanukkah
Very Belated Eid Mubarak.
It's sad that I don't know any other holidays or when they fall (Kwanzah, Diwali...meh)
but that's not what this post is about.
The blog's been dead because I'm here applying to colleges and determining whether or not I will move on to better things in my life or if Wal-Mart will become mon patron.
But recently, in a Cuban history class, we've brought up socialism a bunch of times, and had that whole socialism vs. capitalism , screw you you commi vs. shut up you greenback money loving pig thing, and it led to a feisty debate. Yes that is the correct spelling of feisty. But I'm gonna try my hardest to kind of layout what each is and hopefully allow myself to better understand each and maybe even decide which is better (Maybe).
SO this post will be over shortly, but very soon there will be another one outlining capitalism or socialism, I don't know which one yet, depends on if I watch Inglorious Bastards or Michael Moore's latest documentary tonight. But till then, peace. (and I've never had eggnog, what's it taste like?)

Been a while
So...
it's been quite a while since I last posted. My friend told me to write in this post that the reason for my absence was cancer. My friends and I proceeded to make him feel like crap. If anyone wants to leave threatening voicemails or send him anything harmful let me know so I can give you his number/address because it's illegal for me to post it online or something.
But cereally,
I went on a 40 day trip down the east coast with my Mosque people, 10 of us, all under 28 scept one of em, and it was friggin awesome.
We went down to North Carolina and stopped at a mosque whose parking lot was bigger than my block, and it was surrounded by trees. Creepy.
But the food was off da hook.
Mad good Caribbean food, all halal surprisingly (Muslim's Kosher).
But that was only a pit stop, so we were off to ATL the next day. We got there 7 hrs later, and it was ...disappointing. I dont know why but I had envisioned it as an almost Manhattinish kinda place with a bunch of 1985 Cadillacs with 45 inch rims and lots of music. But when we got to the downtown area, yes there were a couple of skyscrapers, some odd stores, but it was dead. Nobody on the streets. In the span of 10 blocks we counted 7 people. The mosque there was insanely beautiful though. Had a huge dome (typical?) but a bunch of fountains, and all with glazed marble, and the main hall was HUGE. The word huge is in capitals to emphasize the vastness of this hall. ( Pictures will hopefully be up next post). The mosque was the head mosque(?) of Atlanta (in Urdu it's called the murkuz) and they assigned us to go help out at and bring students closer to the mosque at different places. The first of which was Masjid Taqwa, in Doraville. I'll talk bout it later.

Obama's just like us! (and celtics)
This Tuesday, the prez and Joe B. headed out for a their weekly lunch. But not to some fancy joint with foie gras filled geese, but rather a local burger joint, Ray's Hell Burgers. Obama picked up a cheddah cheese burger and Joe went for the swiss cheeseburger. And a root beer at that. Making moves Joe, making moves. It's always nice to see and realize that the President is just like us in someways, thought most of us are not wonderfully gifted orators and are commander in chiefs of our countries. But nonetheless, it brought a smile to my face to see Joe Biden hold a couple of bills in his hand like I do at a burger joint, anxiously waiting to pay and smoothly collect the wierd amount of change that I'll probably drop, or to hear Barack Obama ask the place 'bout their fries (they didnt have any). If you REALLY wanna see Obama order a burger, then hit up the link thats with this post. You have to watch an ad for some stuff with kids in it, don't remember what.
Now.
Celtics
So they did win. Hah! beat em by nearly 20 points. Special parts of the game (in my opinion)
Eddie House, on fire and bravo on containing yourself after Rafer Alston slaps him on the back of the head. I used to like him. Ah well. Sore loser.
RONDO and that DUNK. WOW Where did that come from?! that was stunning. Shuttup all those people who said he couldn't get up on Orlando.
Ray Allen. Quiet around the 3 pt line, but he had some AMAZING in the paint plays. Recent Celtic fans must've been stunned. But he's a beast, so I was only mildly surprised.
Rashard Lewis. This guy is a great player, but also just a really nice dude. After every foul he apologized, gave pounds and fives, and didn't slap people AHEM **ALSTON** AHEM!
But all in all a good game. We hustled, they didn't. Simple as that. By the way, my internet shut down, and Firefox automatically saved my post. Wow.

First Pieces of Art!
I'm a big fan of graffiti.
Not necessarily a fan of vandalism, just the letters and stuff. I'm usually gonna take negatives of each drawing simply because they look cool. It says "soon" if it's illegible to some, and there IS a reason why I write SOON but that's for another time when I get more readers (probably never).
If anyone ever has any ideas for backgrounds for graffiti pieces, definitely let me know. Always looking for inspiration/pointers/advice. Please do comment(and follow!).
Peace!
P.S. If YOU are interested in graffiti, check out seenworld.com That man is amazing. My work is doodoo compared to him.

Really Oprah?
So Oprah, the woman who has probably forgotten how KFC tastes, is sponsoring free Grilled KFC chicken and some side orders. Oh and a biscuit. Dont ever forget those biscuits. BUT really? With the amount of money she probably gave KFC to let them just give out free chicken (though it probably doesnt cost more than .5 cents to make because it's probably plastic) (just kidding) she definitely could've put it towards a better cause,though opening another school where the chicks get raped might not be so good. I'm not an Oprah hater. I just think this is stupid. Sucks for vegetarians too, don't it?
Firsty
So. This is my blog. Welcome. This blog has no specific topic, theme, idealogy by which it runs, its just whenever I feel strongly about something or think of something interesting do I blog it up. Anything from NBA to politics, to my own artwork, or some good pizza I recently had. It'll all be up here. And with that,
The Celtics.
First and foremost, I am not from Boston, nor do I like any other Boston team. But these guys are amazing. Why? Ray Allen. He's not the only reason, but c'mon. This man, I strongly believe has the best shot in the NBA. If any one has watched the playoffs so far, this man whipped Noah, Hinrich, and the whole lot of the Bulls in all the games, regardless of whether the Celtics won or not. And as Ray Allen closes in on Reggie Miller's 3 pt field goal record, I will dare to say that he is the best 3 point shooter the NBA has seen. Ever.
The players that make up this team are all beasts in their own way. Paul Pierce, KG , even though he's out (moment of silence), House, Rondo, Big Baby, Scalabrine, all these players have something special to them where as some teams only have that one guy that leads the team.
Now that we've established that I'm a Celtics fan, MVP award.
Lebron. Duh
But here I was rooting for Dwayne Wade. For the majority of the season, he led Lebron and Kobe in point, assists and steals. The man is good. Don't see why he wasn't atleast 2nd. But oh wells.
Tomorrow night on TNT Celtics Magic -Magic leads 1-0. Everyone should watch.
