The power of thought was never revealed to me until I became influenced poetically There are times when thoughts continuously travel throughout my mind And only then I’m truly able to unwind By fluently putting my complexities on paper Expressing everything not leaving anything for later Cuz when I get deep everything is revealed Not one solitary thought can sincerely be concealed From my museum of treasures You know! that place where I keep all my pleasures See, my thoughts flow smoothly from my mind to my paper Literally soothing me like invigorating vapors That’s just the way poetry pacifies me Gradually leading me into a world of creativity…

i kinda agree with some of the things..... The Rooster is the strutting peacock of the Chinese Zodiac! These quick thinkers are practical and resourceful, preferring to stick to what is tried and true rather than taking messy, unnecessary risks. Roosters are keenly observant. It's hard to slip anything past a Rooster, since they seem to have eyes in the backs of their heads! This quality can lead others to think the Rooster is psychic, but that's not generally the case; instead, this Sign enjoys a keen attention to detail that makes it a whiz at anything requiring close analysis. Roosters make great lawyers, brain surgeons and accountants, to name a few of this Sign's possible occupations. Above all else, the Rooster is very straightforward and rewards others' honesty in kind. Roosters aren't shifty or cagey and have no interest in hiding behind a facade. They are the proverbial open book, telling the truth and keeping their word. If you show your hand, the Rooster will respect you for it. This kind of trusting behavior can tempt tricksters to pull a fast one on the Rooster, but that would be a bad move! Remember, this Sign doesn't indulge in flights of fancy and keeps those eyes wide open at all times. Roosters tend to be perfectionists and expect to be in control, especially over their appearance. Primping and posing for the Rooster can go on forever! Being noticed and admired is an aphrodisiac for Roosters, and they can go a long time on a few kind words. Roosters also adore being out on the town, especially if they're in the company of adoring friends. The Rooster will also be the best-dressed one of the bunch -- style counts with this Sign, regardless of the cost. Roosters also expect to be in control of their surroundings, including whoever happens to be in those surroundings. Roosters keep an impeccably neat house and expect their lovers, housemates and family members to maintain the same high standards of dress and conduct as they do. This can cause problems with other, more relaxed types who just want to be accepted as is. The Rooster needs the right partner, one who understands this Sign's basically conservative nature. With the right person, the Rooster can be the most loyal, trusting and supportive mate around, one who bends over backward to please its loved ones. Some Signs may just end up feeling hen-pecked, however. Roosters need to learn to value their heart and soul as much as their good looks. Their excellent people skills and sharp minds are qualities that others will appreciate as much as a pretty face. This Sign would also do well to learn to adopt the philosophy of "live and let live"; perhaps an appeal to the Rooster's logic -- that it's inefficient to waste time nagging others -- will help this Sign learn to let others be whomever and however they are.

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajiun Ilahey ha-unaxaristo abaaha..... Samir iyo iman sister may allah grant him eternity in janaa...

happy EARTH DAY...ppl remember to take care of our earth ...recycle, reuse and don't litter.....this is the only earth we have lets be responsible and take care of our home....

Chomsky blasts U.S. government Noam Chomsky spoke to a full house in Meany Theatre @ the university of washington about U.S. foreign policy. By Abel Kerevel / Contributing writer April 21, 2005 the uw daily Seattleites filled Meany Theatre last night to see the controversial scholar and university professor, Noam Chomsky. Chomsky is well known for his critical stance against U.S. foreign policy, and last night was no exception. The topic of his lecture was the legitimacy of international use of force. "Any state's use of force without the sanction of the United Nation's Security Council is a war crime," said Chomsky, referring to the U.S. invasion of Iraq, and other U.S. political activities in El Salvador and Nicaragua. Drawing applause from the audience, Chomsky mentioned the need for all states to adhere to international law and promote the elimination of nuclear weapons. He disagreed with the U.S. government's stated reason for the Iraq invasion, which he called "anticipatory self-defense" against weapons of mass destruction. "The propriety of the use of force has the heavy burden of proof," he added, criticizing the United States for not finding nuclear weapons in Iraq. "The justification for the war in Iraq has become President Bush's messianic vision to bring democracy to the world," said Chomsky. Chomsky said the international community understands the war differently, seeing "the United States as the dominant threat to every one else." Calling the Iraqi elections "an amazing triumph of non-violent resistance to the American invasion," Chomsky gave a different tone to the topic of democracy in the Middle East. He did not dwell on the war in Iraq, instead criticizing the NATO bombing of Kosovo in 1999. Considering the bombing another example of the abuse of force, Chomsky argued that not enough effort was made at diplomacy. it was great lecture to attend....he had a lot to say about the incompetence of the bush regime....it was very interesting....there were there alot of ppl questioning his "americaness"....and some even called him an anti-semite...because he spoke about the US involvement in palestine and isreali occupation...it was weird to call him an anti-semite as he is a practicing jew.....
