Hey everyone… it seems that I went back on my promise. I haven’t posted anything, or followed anyones blog, and for that I apologize. But I really have been swamped.

I have a new blog http://web.me.com/Phawaz

“In every dream home, a heartache.
And Every step I take
takes me further from heaven.
Is there a heaven?
I’d like to think so.” – Bryan Ferry

Ok, I know that I haven’t kept my word, but I truly have been busy. Trying to catch up with school work I didn’t even know I had proved to be quite exhausting! Oh, how I crave melting into a deep and satisfying slumber… but I can’t.

It’s been a hectic week, and I’m still trying to catch up with a couple of projects due at the end of this month. But don’t get me wrong, TV show/movie/application downloads are still going strong :-p~ Although, as some of you have noticed, the internet is really slow today.

It seems that the whole fiasco that happened in February is happening again. A couple of cables are either faulty or have been cut. Peer-2-peer sharing (Torrent downloads and such) are down. Access to most local sites seem to be working properly, but visiting international sites can be a pain. :-/ I had to refresh the “New Post” pages more than once to get it to open up properly.

I really miss all of you guys! I wish I could comment on every single post everyone has posted since September.. I’ll try my best to make up for it.

How has everyone been? What have you guys been doing? I hope you all are having a splendid and relaxing  weekend. Oh, and good luck to all of those who have quizzes, midterms, and papers!

I really need to catch up on some sleep. I assure you this won’t be my last post. I’m planning on posting and commenting everyday from now on. I’ll see you guys.

Take care and stay safe everyone,
The Archer (a.k.a Waz)

I’ve been away for far too long!

I’m sorry if I haven’t been commenting on everyone’s blogs. I promise, I’ll be back with full force after Eid inshallah

Hey everyone. I know I haven’t been posting or commenting enthusiastically on anyones blog lately, but I’ve just been sidetracked by a project of mine. I’ll be taking a break from blogging for about a week, and I’ll be back soon inshallah.

Oh, and keep your eyes open for very controversial changes to the tone of some of the new posts on this blog. A friend of mine is going to join Bow N Arrow and enlighten/entertain us with some of his “writings”. Trust me, you wont want to miss this.

One question though… could either of us get in trouble for political/governmental satirical criticism?

He just sent me a quick and “tame” post of his… I’m going to skin through it and try to censor what I can .. would you guys prefer to read Tipster’s posts in all their glory?

See you soon guys Take care and stay safe

What’s that show? The one with the gorgeous but troubled resident, in that hospital with all the other gorgeous but troubled residents, discussing her love life while performing complex surgeries and obsessing over her relationship with a certain Dr. McDreamy?

Oh yeah, Grey’s Anatomy…

Well, I’ve just finished watching the fifth season premier of  of Grey’s Anatomy. And boy was it good.

It seems to be going back to it’s roots and got more “real”. Like the past four seasons, this seasons premier is dosed with drama. And we all love drama, don’t we?

Can’t wait til the third episode comes out

Apple is now selling its iPhone 3G unlocked via its on-line Apple Store in Hong Kong. The 8GB model sells for HK$5,500 (about US$694) or HK$6,200 (about $797) for the 16GB model. It was already available since July 11th with a local Hutchison Telecommunications contract. So, will the officially unlocked iPhone 3G become available on the US Apple online store soon? It IS gonna happen, we just don’t know when. :/

This is the first time that Apple has sold its device unlocked in Hong Kong:

“iPhone 3G purchased at the Apple Online Store can be activated with any wireless carrier. Simply insert the SIM from your current phone into iPhone 3G and connect to iTunes 8 to complete activation.”

The terms and conditions limit sales to those in Hong Kong only — not that the gray market cares about T&Cs. eBay, anyone?

It’ll be interesting to see if Apple extends the unlocking more broadly (presumably as exclusivity deals expire) or if this is strictly a local phenomena. Officially unlocked iPhone 3G’s have been popping up in Australia, New Zeland, Switzerlan, Italy, Germany[black market], and the UK [illegally sold in some stores].

Hey guys, I’ve stumbled upon a website where you can watch streaming television shows. So if you’re not the type of person who wants to wait for a file to finish downloading, or your internet connection/bandwidth isn’t speedy enough to get an episode in a few minutes/hours, you might be interested in these lings.

Enjoy.

I just found what seems to be a hidden message in the FRINGE intro, the new sci-fi series bu LOST creator J.J. Abrams, Alex Kurtzman, and Roberto Orci.

It’s on the screen for a split second, I barely caught it.

What do you guys think “Observers are here” means?

I guess we’re gonna have to see and find out. I’ll google it after fi6oor and see if I can find something.

I’ll upload a video soon inshallah.

Take care and stay safe

Well, there was this poster whose post really annoyed me, so I felt compelled to reply.

Here’s my sad attempt at a reply. But seariously, some of my points were actually good. Ya7lailee wallah

_______________________________My IMDb reply_______________________________

“I very much dislike Christianity and Muslims. All the WARS caused by 2 religions. All the death because of belief. Neither religion helped anybody mentally!!!“

Those two religions caused those wars? wow.. okay..

What about Judaism? isn’t that a monotheist religion too? aren’t there conflicts between Muslims and Jewish people around the world, as there is conflict between Christians and Jewish people?

If you’re ready to blame all the problems in the world [specifically wars] on religion, ignoring everything these religions stand for and the sanity of mankind, then I’m really sorry. I’m sorry that your mentality has reached this level of degradation.

But seriously.. “Neither religion helped anybody mentally!!!“??

Where did you get that from? I urge you to get a reality check my friend. They’re helping millions, if not billions today mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. I can’t speak for all those people, but I can certainly speak for myself and my well-being.

Yes, many people have taken religion into extremes for thousands of years. But you cannot divert blame from people and the choices they make according to their own free will.

I’m a Muslim, and I have nothing against anyone. Not against Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, Athiesm, or any other belif system or way of life. Who am I to judge? Everyone is free to believe in what they want to believe, and live they way they want to live.

Now, although I am not a supporter or Zionism, it doesn’t mean I hate Jewish people, or refuse the establishment of a Jewish nation. I just don’t understand the hostility.

Many of my friends are of different religious, social, and racial backgrounds. And no, I do not hate Jewish people. That’s a misconception about Islam and Christianity. People of religion do not tolerate hatred nor they condone it. Yes, there have been conflicts, but they are NOT limited to religion. There are many contributing factors, but religion is used to push people buttons. It would really hit home if a person would pick at other people’s religion. My long post is clearly a reaction to yours. :p

A word of advice, have some respect for others. It’ll really help you in life.

Take care and stay safe.

Story # 2: Ford Mustang -> Aston Martin Vanquish + 007 Upgrades

And on another note.. it turns out that this picture of a Aston Martin Vanquish V12 is actually a previous generation Ford Mustang!

Built by Canada-based Exclusive Motor Cars, the extensive conversion included stretching the wheelbase, widening the track, fitting a custom interior, and adding 34 composite body panels to convert the coupe into one of the most believable replicars we’ve ever seen.

Autoblog had discovered it back in January, but it has since received some upgrades straight out of James Bond’s V12 Vanquish in “Die Another Day”.

Shraykom?
