Stupidy Hath No Bounds

So now we have players losing their cool in dressing room amongst themselves. Sadly this is not the first time Shoaib Akhtar has done something like this. He considers himself irreplaceable, hence why he acts in such a brazen manner most of the time. He has been pardoned far too many times. Asif should thank himself for escaping with only an injured thigh. It could have been worse. He should be commended for coming forward and telling the authorities about this incident. Shoab's vying to make a comeback even after this incident means that, either he is too stupid to realize what impact this might have on his career, or he simply doesn't care. How many times has he apologized and acted like a spoiled child for Pakistan Cricket?

The thing that is the saddest is his linking this to what Zinedine Zidane did in the World Cup by his head butting. If two wrongs could make a right, Shoaib Akhtar would be a very happy man. Sadly, they don't. If someone jumps in a well, you don't try to jump in too and justify yourself by saying, He jumped too, why can't I?

Shoaib Akhtar is the Britney Spears of Pakistan Cricket.

Reza Says

Some of you might have noticed that the disseminationforall.blogspot.com link does not appear anymore when you come to my website. Well to cut the story short, I bought the domain rezasays.com. All of you can link to www.rezasays.com instead of the usual convoluted long blogspot URL to get to my blog. This will help solve the issue of bloggers in Pakistan not being able to visit my website, not to mention it looks good.

I have a renewd interest in the group Enigma and in a sudden impulse bought all their albums from Amazon. The music reminds of a multitude of games that I played as well as some fond memories of how the times when I first listened to the music. Isn't it amazing and surreal that sometimes music associated itself with memories and they all come rushing past as soon as you put in your favorite track, 10 years down the line. Magnificent.

An Article Worth Reading

Pakistan needs politicians from the grassroots, not the elite

An Article worth reading. It shows how we are fooling ourselves into allowing Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif on returning. Mind you, I am not a huge fan of Musharraf either, especially after he tried forging a deal with Benazir Bhutto. Shows that everyone in Pakistani politics is there just to make sure he gets the most out of it and doesn't let go till it is pried from his dead and lifeless fingers.

P.S: I am back. I hope some of you still come to my blog. Hope to see you guys around.

Been a while

Thanks for your wishes on my birthday. Some of you took your sweet time *grins*. In either case. I am back from my hiatus. I was extremely busy with school and other types of mundane activities. Not to mention I was extremely sick too. I am back now. Still busy but my health is a little better. Hope to see all of you around. If you still come to my blog that is *hums*

Happy Birthday to Me

I turn 26 on 17th January. An year wiser, an year saner, an year wrinklier, an year closer to fulfilling my destiny, an year closer to making my dreams come true, an year closer to supporting my parents, an year closer to marriage, an year closer to kids, and an year closer to my own death. Happy Birthday Reza Malik. May Allah bless you with whatever you want and more and make you a good human being. Ameen.

I am Back

I am back from my vacation over in Orange County with my cousins. It was a great trip which resulted in bonding me together with my cousins. Time well spent. I gained a few pounds on my Aunt's delicious cooking as well after eating Burgers for so long. Cheers. Tomorrow is the start of the new semester and I am looking forward to it with zest and zeel. Just 2 couses to go before I graduate inshAllah.

Eid Mubarak

Eid Mubarak guys. I hope your Hajj is accepted if you did offer it and if you didn't you get to fulfill it sometime in your life.

A Happy New Year too. May this year bring you lots of what you desire.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all you guys and may you have a Happy New Year as well. Have fun during the holidays ;D.

Wordpress and Blogger

So there is this dangerous trend I see among my friends wanting to move their blogs over to Wordpress. I ask them why would you that. First of all Wordpress is not free. Some of their advanced features that come free on Blogger, cost money on Wordpress. I think Blogging should be a free activity and noone should have to shell out money for it. I am talking about features such as making your own templates. Sure to many of you that might not seem much of a deal breaker since you guys are fairly content with the templates that are provided to you. But to a guy like me, who loves coding his own webpages, that is definately a deal breaker. I thought about moving to Wordpress 4 months ago but decided it wasn't worth it. Blogger has been criticized lately for all the wrong things. I see no difference in how I blog on the new Blogger compared to the old one. Infact, I quite like some of the features they've introduced.

Just thought i'd write something in support of a place that has given me constant joy as an outlet for my thoughts and ramblings as far back as 2004.

P.S: Haloscan Comments is not working with Blogger Beta right now. There are some bugs which will be ironed out soon. SO comments will be back soon :D. Save em in your head till I fix it.

Update: Comments seem to be working ok now. If someone notices any problems, please let me know.

Tarot Card

Although I don't believe in Tarots and all this stuff, I came across this quiz and decided to take it, just to see what i'd get. Well, I came out something I didn't except. Definately don't believe in it now *grins*.

You are The Devil

Materiality. Material Force. Material temptation; sometimes obsession

The Devil is often a great card for business success; hard work and ambition.

Perhaps the most misunderstood of all the major arcana, the Devil is not really "Satan" at all, but Pan the half-goat nature god and/or Dionysius. These are gods of pleasure and abandon, of wild behavior and unbridled desires. This is a card about ambitions; it is also synonymous with temptation and addiction. On the flip side, however, the card can be a warning to someone who is too restrained, someone who never allows themselves to get passionate or messy or wild - or ambitious. This, too, is a form of enslavement. As a person, the Devil can stand for a man of money or erotic power, aggressive, controlling, or just persuasive. This is not to say a bad man, but certainly a powerful man who is hard to resist. The important thing is to remember that any chain is freely worn. In most cases, you are enslaved only because you allow it.

I Got Tagged

I got tagged by que sera sera. I have to write 5 weird things about me and then pass the tag along. Now lets see what the 5 things are:

1. I eat cereals with milk at 2 a.m in the morning because that is when I crave something sweet and nothing is better than cereal and cold milk. It helps me sleep better too.

2. When I listen to certain kinds of music, I get pumped up. Pumped up in the sense that I want to go out and beat someone up. I thought music was supposed to soothe the raging beast, not create one *scratches head*.

3. I love dragons. I'veimagined myself fighting them, taming them, riding them etc etc. Maybe it is because I was introduced to them at such an early age? Who knows. Bottom line: Dragons rock.

4. I think beauty is an illusion. Yes I said it and yes I am a man. I think beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and furthermore, beauty alone without character is like a porcelein cup, elaborately designed but empty.

5. I love the smell the rain makes on the ground when it mixes with the sand and earth. I have been known to just sit outside and take it in for hours at end at my grandfathers over in Kashmir. I know most people like it but I still think it's weird.

I am passing this onto Luda, Writers Creek, Arianuz, Heewa and Blue Water.

Semester Ends

So the semester ended. It was one of the most hectic semesters ive taken in any school to date. That's the reason I haven't been able to update as frequently as I would have liked to. Still, the semester passed without any major incidents although the grades weren't entirely to my liking. With that out of the way, I am free until the 7th of January. Mostly I am just playing World of Wacraft all day, listening to music, watching TV and anime, and reading some novels to pass my time, not to mention sleeping. Well, sleeping seems to be a superfluous addition since I am up at 4 a.m writing this post.

Winter seems to be catching on with yesterday and today being the coldest days of this winter to date. I forgot how I managed to survive in Michigan before I came to California. Ah the adaptive power of the human body never ceases to amaze.

These days I am watching some new Animes. If any of you are fans of Animes, be sure to watch Fate Stay Night if you can get your hands on it. It is a good Anime and has a captivative soundtrack to boot.

Merry Holidays.

My Random Musing

Conquer your fears, Vanquish your doubts, Destroy your weaknesses. Be Reborn by the ashes of your struggles; Rise Phoenix Rise, and Burn through the Morning Sky of your hopes, steaking it with your Firey Success.

Reza Malik.

Career Fair

The Career Fair at the university is coming up. I need to get all spiffy for it and see if I can land some interviews. Assignments are coming left and right from all sides as teachers are picking up speed in order to justify giving something in the midterms. I am enjoying Ramadan and everything is fine. I hope all of you are having a good ramadan as well. Peace for now.
