About Me

Now I'm gonna try to improve my life

Taken from my BlogI'm a Fremont Afghan from Kabul, that's all I've ever known.I know that sounds (and looks) pretty bold, but its the simplest way to "define me." If you know what that means then you know who I am.If you don't know....I'm used to driving up and down Fremont Blvd (Little Kabul) to get kabob while the cars around me bump the sounds of Habib Qaderi (the pop obsessed and the teeny boppers) or Nasrat Parsa (the thinking man's Habib -- Habib is JT Nasrat was Robin Thicke). Then taking that kabob to Lake Elizabeth ("Central Park" for the unhip) and discussing politics, religion, art, philosophy AND Britney Spears. It also means closing not only the actual hookah bar or club you just stepped out of, but then closing the parking lot and driving to Denny's for a late night snack of low grade barely edible goods.................................now 'ya know.

I go round and round just like a circle I can see a clearer picture When I touch the ground I come full circle To my place and I am home I am home

they say that I'm this, they say that I'm that


The hipster and the hippie that takes a little bit from everything:

I. Islam - the ONE
II. Christianity - Redemption
III. Buddhism - Eliminate desire, eliminate suffering
IV. Hinduism - The divine resides in all

hate the sin, love the sinner

...Weeping may endure for a night, but Joy Comes in The Morning. -Psalm 30:5

"You must not carry false rumors; you shall not join hands with the guilty to act as a malicious witness: You shall neither side with the mighty to do wrong—you shall not give perverse testimony in a dispute so as to pervert it in favor of the mighty—nor shall you show deference to a poor man in a dispute." -Exodus 23:1 ..

"you can worship stones if you like, as long as you don't throw them at me"

A person is known by the faith. One can become whatever one wants to be (if one constantly contemplates on the object of desire with faith). "

One day Rabbi Abba was sitting at the gate of Lydda when he saw a man come and seat himself on a ledge overhanging the ground. Being weary from traveling he fell asleep. A serpent glided up towards the man, but before it reached him, a branch fell from a tree and killed it. The traveler then woke up, and catching sight of the serpent immediately stood up; at that instant, the ledge on which he had been lying gave way and crashed into the hollow beneath. Rabbi Abba was transfixed with wonder, and said to the traveler: "Tell me, what have you done that God should perform two miracles for you, each one saving your life?" The man replied: "Never did anyone do an injury to me but that I made peace with him; I did not retire to rest before I forgave him together with all those who vexed me; nor was I concerned at any time about the evil the man did me; nay more, from that day onward, I exerted myself to show kindness to such a man." -- The Zohar

I'd like to meet:

"By their fruits ye shall know them" - Matthew 7:20

Paint my face in your magazines Make it look whiter than it seems Paint me over with your dreams Shove away my ethnicity Burn every notion that I may have a flame inside to fight And say just what is on my mind Without offending your might Cuz this life is too short to live it just for you But when you feel so powerless what are you gonna do So say what you want Say what you wantI saw her face outside today Weatherworn, looking all the rage They took her passion and her gaze and made a poster Now it's moccasins we sport We take the culture and contort Perhaps only to distort what we are hiding
