I totally get the message, but its the way he talks....LOL

BROTHA, WHERE'S YOUR BEARD???

so, the link up there ^^^^^ is probably the funniest video i've seen in a while, but I figured that I could start a lil dialogue about the topic and see if people get the idea of the video.

Feel free to laugh. No on is (or should be) judging you. The way the brothas talk is the reason why its so hilarious. The brotha in the white has the perfect older, semi-arrogant tone and the brotha in the suit has a very relaxed tone, but still kind of comes off as a smart ass because he's just thaaat relaxed. lolllll

So, for the sake of dialogue - if you noticed a brotha without a beard, would you say he's "transgressing the limits of Allah (swt)"? How about a brotha with "long" pants?

P.S. if one of yall gets arrogant, i will start putting people in there place. Dont get wild on here. Be a grown up - have a polite debate.

Salaams and stay snuggly,

A Quick Post Before I Go To Bed Of Which Will Be In List Form Because I'm Too Lazy To Write Sentences

My very sloppy post b/c I am so tired from treading around cold, snowy Oakland County, MI in the midst of a snow storm just to go to work and go get educated.

1. I think I have an addiction to liquid gel Advil. I take it after work and my joints feel warm and smooth.
2. I was wiping my shelf thingie and I realize my Quran(s) are very dusty. This is not good. I'm slacking. I have a slip of paper of where I left off reading - I need to get back to that. [p.s. I have two Qurans, one for reading as in to inform myself and one for recitation. please make note and don't piss me off by saying something rude. k? k.]
3. I have a senile, liberal, Isreali Jewish 74 year-old teacher for English this semester. Yes, it is as controversial as you may think, but she thinks I'm clever. Shows how much yall know. lol
4. The past 3 weeks were filled with hot, steaming dog poo. I am drained. I'm retiring from life.
5. I may be considering writing a novel. Not like, 'I'm bored so I stole the idea from Ange', type of thing, but like, 'Ange makes me realize how lazy I've been with my talent that I've been blessed with and I should get back to that at some point before I realize how much talent I've wasted writing papers for teachers who don't give a fudge' type of thing.
6. I am not a hijabi yet. That's my fault. End of story. Will I explain? No.
7. Good night. I will post soon. maybe with paragraphs. maybe with pictures. who knows

Salaams and stay snuggly.

Love,

Dedra

TA-DA!!!

I hope you enjoy the new template! A friend of mine decided to take a look at my blog and I hadn't updated since 2009 I think and I felt all bad because I had been neglecting my blog and my readers and what not, but I figured that I'll change the template before posting so my creative juices can start flowing. I dont know what that lil pink thang is but I thought Mr. Pink Guy was cute, so I went for this. Enjoy!

Insha'allah, I'll be posting soon, but no promises.

I'm very tired.

Sleep.
